Tied My Hands
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we used to live
Never in distress
Or can you picture then
Only used to pride
Ourselves on neatness
I can't understand
You made me wild
Then you tied my hands
You tied my hands, ooh
Can you remember when
When we used to laugh
At those mistakes we made
Can you picture then
How we used to drive
And never reach the end
'Cause I can't understand
What you meant to me
You made me wild
Then you tied my hands
You tied my hands
Since you went away
Made me find
I have nothing to say
Since you went away
Made me find
I have nothing to say
'Cause I can't understand
What you meant to me
You made me wild
Then you tied my hands
'Cause I can't understand
What you meant to me
You made me wild
Then you tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
In Seether's song Tied My Hands, the lyrics reflect on a past relationship that has ended. The first verse reminisces about a time when the singer and their partner lived without distress and took pride in their neatness. However, the tone switches with the line "Then you tied my hands." The second verse reflects on the moments of laughter and joy they had together, but still ends with the nagging realization that their partner tied their hands.
The chorus repeats the line "You made me wild, then you tied my hands" as the singer continues to struggle to understand the complete impact their partner had on their life. The bridge changes slightly, as the singer acknowledges that since their partner has gone, they have struggled to find their voice.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a relationship that, while seemingly happy on the surface, was actually stifling for the singer. The metaphor of tied hands suggests a feeling of being trapped or unable to make decisions freely. The repetition of the line "You made me wild" could suggest a feeling of being pushed to behave in ways that weren't typical or comfortable for the singer.
Line by Line Meaning
Can you remember when
Do you recall a time in the past
When we used to live
When we were present in the moment and truly living
Never in distress
We were never troubled or overwhelmed
Or can you picture then
Can you imagine that time
Only used to pride
Our only source of satisfaction was in our cleanliness and appearance
Ourselves on neatness
We were perfectionists and took pride in everything being in order
I can't understand
I am unable to comprehend
What you meant to me
I am unable to discern the true intention behind your actions
You made me wild
You ignited intense emotion within me
Then you tied my hands
But then you restricted me, limiting my freedom and ability to act
When we used to laugh
When we found joy and happiness in the world
At those mistakes we made
And were able to find humor in the mishaps we encountered
How we used to drive
How we used to pursue our goals and ambitions with passion
And never reach the end
But never truly fulfilling our aspirations
Since you went away
After you departed from my life
Made me find
I was forced to realize
I have nothing to say
That I had nothing left to express or communicate
You tied my hands
You limited my freedom and constrained my ability to act

Can you remember when
when we used to cry
Never in distress?
But can you picture then
how we used to pride
ourselves on neatness?
I can't understand, what you meant to me
You made me wild, then you tied me hands, ooh
Can you remember when
when we used to laugh
at those mistakes we made?
Can you picture then
how we used to drive
and never reach the end?
'Cause I can't understand, what you meant to me
You made me wild, then you tied my hands, ooh
Since you went away
made me find
I have nothing to say
Since you went away
made me find
I have nothing to say
'Cause I can't understand, what you meant to me
You made me wild, then you tied my hands
'Cause I can't understand, what you meant to me
You made me wild, then you tied my hands, ooh
You tied my hands, ooh [x6]
