Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All your fear misplace it now
If I cared too much and break this
You would find a nameless foe
Settle down, embrace this
Lock the doors and make this real
I'll find out wherever you are
You can fight the fearless
You can leave me breathless now
I'll find out wherever you are
You'll find where your god is
Oh give me a reason
So we can devolve
Oh, keep me from falling down
So we can resolve
Oh give me a reason
So we can devolve
Oh give me a reason I can't deny
Trust in me at falter
I will only swallow whole
You're weak and I am evil
Oh you're such a fragile soul
I'll find out wherever you are
I'll find where your base is
Point your blameless finger
Praise aloud your virtues all
I'll find out wherever you are
You'll find where your god is
Oh give me a reason
So we can devolve
Oh, keep me from falling down
So we can resolve
Oh give me a reason
So we can devolve
Oh give me a reason I can't deny
Oh give me a reason
So we can devolve
Oh, keep me from falling down
So we can resolve
Oh give me a reason
So we can devolve
Oh give me a reason I can't deny
