Will It Ever End

Abandon ship and save yourself now
Just float away and let me drown
Please don't over-exert yourself now
And set me free
And set me free
I'm going home
I've been running for a long time
Thinking is a past time
Paying for my past crimes
Will it ever end?
I keep searching for my own light
Fear is keeping me uptight
Read me now my last rights
Praying to ascend
And when you come down from your throne
Don't hesitate to don your mask now
You find it hard to be alone
So take a minute to yourself now
And set it free
I'm going home
I've been running for a long time
Thinking is a past time
Paying for my past crimes
Will it ever end?
I keep searching for my own light
Fear is keeping me uptight
Read me now my last rites
Praying to ascend
I've had enough of it
I've had enough of it
I've had enough of it
Can't get enough of this
Now bring it down
I've had enough of it
I've had enough of it
I've had enough of it
So bring it down
And set it free
I'm going home
I've been running for a long time
Thinking is a past time
Paying for my past crimes
Will it ever end?
I keep searching for my own light
Fear is keeping me uptight
Read me now my last rites
Praying to ascend
Will it ever end?
Will it ever end?
The lyrics to Seether's song "Will It Ever End?" delve into feelings of frustration, a desire for liberation, and a longing for inner peace. The opening lines evoke a sense of resignation and surrender, as the singer acknowledges the impending downfall and urges the listener to save themselves while they succumb to their own struggles. This suggests a willingness to let go and allow oneself to drown in their own turmoil.
The chorus repeats the plea to be set free, emphasizing the yearning for release from the burdens that weigh them down. The mention of going home can be interpreted as a metaphor for finding solace and comfort, longing to return to a state of peace and contentment.
The following verses explore the singer's personal history of running away from their problems, constantly engaging in thoughts and reflections that haunt them. They acknowledge paying for their past mistakes, highlighting the idea that actions have consequences. The question posed repeatedly, "Will it ever end?" demonstrates a sense of weariness and a desperate hope for an end to the relentless cycle of pain and suffering.
The reference to fear keeping them uptight suggests a constant state of anxiety and apprehension that holds them back from finding their own light and embracing a more positive mindset. The lyrics also allude to seeking absolution through prayer, in the hopes of ascending to a higher state of being.
In the bridge, the lyrics take a slight shift, addressing an individual who may hold a position of power or authority, urging them to don a mask and find solace in solitude. This could be interpreted as a criticism of those who struggle to be alone and rely on external validation. The line "And set it free, I'm going home" reiterates the desire for liberation and finding one's own path back to a place of inner peace.
Overall, "Will It Ever End?" explores themes of struggle, self-reflection, and the longing for freedom from personal demons. It speaks to the universal desire to escape the repetitive patterns that hold us back from reaching our full potential.

They seem to have found their own style a bit more, but I still prefer Disclaimer. That being said, Seether have never released a bad album. I love them all to Bits.
