Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be renascent of fortunes they foretell
Your verbal defecation I cant wash away despite myself, your vanity it seems has served you well
Your so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous
So you can go and nest among the weak
The innocent observers will refuse to find the lie within
Renew the disappointment of the meek
You're no Jesus Christ
You're no Jesus Christ
Put the gun in my mouth and pull the trigger
I feel so alive, here
Put the gun in my mouth it taste so bitter
I feel so alive here
You're no Jesus Christ
You're no Jesus Christ
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
Before you hedge those bets you placed against me
Be renascent of fortunes they foretell
Your verbal defecation I cant wash away despite myself, your vanity it seems has served you well
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
The lyrics of Seether's song no_jesus_christ speaks of a person who seems to have a tendency to act as if they are superior and righteous, but in reality, they fall short of those qualities. The singer of the song is addressing this person, suggesting that they are hedging bets against them and being verbally abusive to them. Despite this abusive behavior, the singer cannot seem to let it go, feeling disappointed that this person's vanity has served them well.
The chorus "You're no Jesus Christ" is a powerful statement that the subject of the song is not the savior of mankind, despite their insistence on acting in a pious way. The lyrics suggest that this person is simply a weak individual, who would rather join the herd instead of being an original thinker. In the second verse, the singer speaks of how they feel alive when they put a gun in their mouth, suggesting that the subject has been pushing them to the point of suicide.
Overall, the song appears to be a message to anyone who tries to act as if they are better than others. It's a warning that their malicious behavior will not be tolerated, and that their penchant for extreme vanity will ultimately lead to their downfall.

Before you hedge those bets you placed against me
Be reticent of fortunes they foretell.
Your verbal defecation I can't wash away despite my self.
Your vanity it seems has served you well.
You're so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous
So you can go and nest among the weak.
And the innocent observers will refuse to find the lie within
Renew the disappointment of the meek.
You're no Jesus Christ!
You're no Jesus Christ!
Put the gun in my mouth and pull the trigger
I feel so alive here.
Put the gun in my mouth, it tastes so bitter.
I feel so alive here.
You're no Jesus Christ!
You're no Jesus Christ!
You keep taking over
I keep rolling over
I can't take it any more.
You keep taking over
I keep rolling over
I cant take it any more.
Before you hedge those bets you placed against me
Be reticent of fortunes they foretell.
Your verbal defecation I can't wash away despite my self.
Your vanity it seems has served you well.
You keep taking over
I keep rolling over
I cant take it any more.
You keep taking over
I keep rolling over
I cant take it any more.
You keep taking over
I keep rolling over
I cant take it any more.
You keep taking over
I keep rolling over
I cant take it any more.

Absolutely one of the best songs on Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces, in my opinion. 🤘😎🤘💯 it's one of those songs that is brutally heavy and hypnotically melodic. Absolutely phenomenally written and performed.
