Got It Made
Seether (feat. Amy Lee) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm never gonna give you in
No, not again
'Cause I've waited all I've known, to watch it fade and slip away now
From my hands
And what I have I have in mind
And I think about you all the time
I'm feeling miles away- you think I've got it made
I don't belong here
I'm feeling like a candle burning at both ends
I don't belong here
Now I hide myself away, I never want to feel again
No, not again
'Cause I faced this all alone, I let it seep and wash away, now
It's all the same
And what I have I have in mind
And I think about you all the time
I'm feeling miles away- you think I've got it made
I don't belong here
I'm feeling like a candle burning at both ends
I don't belong here
Never run away, son
Never run away, son
Never run away, son
'Cause what I have I have in mind
And I think about you all the time
I'm feeling mile away- you think I've got it made
I don't belong here
I'm feeling like a candle burning at both ends
I don't belong here
The song "Got It Made" by Seether is a powerful and emotional track that speaks to the feeling of being alone in a world that doesn't understand you. The lyrics suggest that the singer has gone through a difficult period in their life where they lost something they held dear, and they are struggling to move on. The line "I'm feeling miles away - you think I've got it made, I don't belong here" implies that the singer feels alienated and misunderstood by those around them.
The chorus of the song, with the refrain "I don't belong here," speaks to a feeling of isolation that many listeners can relate to. The singer seems to be pleading with someone, or perhaps with themselves, not to give up on life and to keep moving forward. They are urging themselves to "never run away, son" and to hang on to what they have.
The emotional weight of the song is conveyed in the raw and powerful vocals of lead singer Shaun Morgan, who imbues every line with a sense of longing and desperation. The driving guitars and pounding drums of the music add to the intense and urgent mood.

So I said this once before
I've mentioned this previously
I'm never gonna give you in
I won't surrender or submit to you
No, not again
I've done it before and won't do it again
'Cause I've waited all I've known, to watch it fade and slip away now
I have been anticipating something important to me which is now disappearing
From my hands
I can't control it anymore
And what I have I have in mind
I have some things that I'm planning and hoping to achieve
And I think about you all the time
I'm constantly preoccupied with thoughts of you
I'm feeling miles away- you think I've got it made
You believe I'm living a life of luxury but I feel distant and disconnected
I don't belong here
I feel like I don't fit in with my surroundings
I'm feeling like a candle burning at both ends
I'm being depleted and exhausted from too much activity and pressure
Now I hide myself away, I never want to feel again
I'm withdrawing from others and emotions to avoid getting hurt
'Cause I faced this all alone, I let it seep and wash away, now
I dealt with this by myself and now it's disappearing
It's all the same
Everything is identical and monotonous
Never run away, son
Don't avoid or escape from problems, my child
'Cause what I have I have in mind
I have things planned out that are important to me
I'm feeling mile away- you think I've got it made
You think I'm living the good life, but I feel distant and unfulfilled
I don't belong here
I feel like I don't fit in with my surroundings
I'm feeling like a candle burning at both ends
I'm being depleted and exhausted from too much activity and pressure

So I said this once before
I'm never gonna give you in, no
Not again
'Cause I've wasted all I've known
To watch it fade and slip away now
From my hands
And what I have I have in mind
And I think about you all the time
I'm feeling miles away
You think I've got it made
I don't belong here
I'm feeling like a candle
Burning at both ends
I don't belong here
Now I hide myself away
I never wanna feel again, no
Not again
'Cause I faced this all alone
And let it seep and wash away, now
It's all the same
And what I have I have in mind
And I think about you all the time
I'm feeling miles away
You think I've got it made
I don't belong here
I'm feeling like a candle
Burning at both ends
I don't belong here
And I don't
Never run away son
Never run away son
Never run away son
'Cause what I have I have in mind
And I think about you all the time
I'm feeling miles away
You think I've got it made
I don't belong here
I'm feeling like a candle
Burning at both ends
I don't belong here
And I'm feeling
And I'm feeling
And I'm feeling
Like I don't belong
And I'm feeling
And I'm feeling
And I'm feeling
Like I don't belong
