What Would You Do
Seether Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta find a better way to quit the cigarettes
Gotta drink another drink until I can forget
Gotta find a way to feel like I'm myself
Whoa

(Well, this erodes my body, erodes my body) With the whiskey came the things that I do regret
(Erodes my body, breaks my body down) And I know there were things I should not have said
I believe you've already got them written down
Whoa

When the world around me can feel so rotten
I am sorry for making you feel so low

Never gonna lose these feelings I regret
Always gonna be the same old tired shit
What would you do?
What would you do?

There will never be a feeling I suspect
All apologies are something heaven sent
What would you do?
What would you do?

I lie awake at night, I'm trying not to break a sweat
Mind is racing, there's no comfort for me yet
Gotta find a way to get away from myself
Whoa

(Well, this erodes my body, erodes my body) I really wish I could erase all the things I did
(Erodes my body, breaks my body down) I really wish I had a path to recompense
I really wish I had a way to cleanse myself
Whoa

When the world around me can feel so rotten
I am sorry for making you feel so low

Never gonna lose these feelings I regret
Always gonna be the same old tired shit
What would you do?
What would you do?

There will never be a feeling I suspect
All apologies are something heaven sent
What would you do?
What would you do?

Never gonna lose these feelings I regret
Always gonna be the same old tired shit
What would you do?
What would you do?

There will never be a feeling I suspect
All apologies are something heaven sent
What would you do?
What would you do?

What would you do?
What would you do?




What would you do?
What would you do?

"So whatever happens, happens," - HERE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO CHANGE THAT.
COME TO REPENTANCE BY CALLING ON THE NAME OF THE LORD AND BORN AGAIN = GET SAVED AND GO UP NOT DOWN.

"what happens in the afterlife" - well it is written in the bible: read soul - read it.

If We, who die as saved aka saints before the RAPTURE or after - we are going into ABRAHAM`S BOSOM to wait there THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. Later we move into heaven and inherit the NEW EARTH.
If we die as wicked sinners - then down into Hell we go and wait there THE DAY OF JUDGMENT and later move into the LAKE OF FIRE - burning there forever.

That`s all, nothing more to add nor take away.

Dude you are going to burn forever in the lake full of fire and being the whole time in regrets.
You say your a gay and carring all the other wicked titles, THE REPENT. REPENT form all of you sins and go and sin no more.
You caring or not caring ain`t change whats awaits you after your time on earth is done.
THERE`S NO DEATH, A SPIRIT CANNOT DIE. THERE`S ONLY A DEPARTING ONE`S BODY.
I never been chatolic nor do i come form the house of chatolics. My family members are atehists and buddists - they believe these lies. Sadly even they are still blinded by their PRIDE and that keeps then seeking out the MISSING KNOWLEDGE.

THE RAPTURE CAN TAKE PLACE EVERY GIVEN MOMENT:
What if i`m founded worthy too and VANISH SUDDENLY?
WHO then will be still on this earth HELPING THE LOST? And how many will there be?
I am fully aware also that the “coin” can be on the other side and I`d be found unworthy to escape and will be left behind to go through the TRIBULATION PERIOD.
Children can see the spiritual realm, yes. but the ghost they do see are not HUMANS, in every time when your children came out with these stories, about their “afterlives” and their “friends” you are then dealing with DEMONS.
Hebrews 9:27 | View whole chapter | See verse in context And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: That one verse from bible proofs that no HUMAN SOUL stays on earth "hunting" , we all go back into the presence of GOD. But there is of course a little different`s:
If We, who die as saved aka saints before the RAPTURE or after - we are going into ABRAHAM`S BOSOM to wait there THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. Later we move into heaven and inherit the NEW EARTH. If we die as wicked sinners - then down into Hell we go and wait there THE DAY OF JUDGMENT and later move into the LAKE OF FIRE - burning there forever.
There`is no reincarnation. No cycle to come to outlive again and again. Once we leave this realm, we are then TRULY GONE.

That`s the road for a HUMAN SOULS.

Therefore do not take your and mine enemies as fools. For they have been on this earth up to 6000 + years and how long we, humans are here? - only up to 120 years.
Therefore our enemies can imitate us very easily - those who live and those who are dead. Our enemies, the fallen ones/angels can imitate both side. Because they know it all, they witness it all, because they are here with us just behind the curtains of a human eyes. They are spirits, without a body like we have, that`s the reason we can`t see them, but they do see and hear us and they are the same much alive and real as we are.
So, all the souls of humans:
Ephesians 6:10-18 - Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Remember to abide in CHRIST, then:
Isaiah 54:17 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Being baptized = being died with CHRIST , buried with CHRIST and resurrected with CHRIST.
How many times CHRIST died for us - was buried for us and resurrected for us? - ONLY ONCE.

Still won’t forget my first concert at weedsport motor speedway in Syracuse Ny in 06 you were there with shinedown, breaking Benjamin, buckcherry, candlebox, blue October and hurt. Epic time.
