Like Suicide
Seether (feat. Amy Lee) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They'll never know if you fear me
With every second collecting dust
I feel so bloated and weary
'Cause she belongs to heaven
She's coming over like a suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip as before
And its the same old trip, the same old trip. AS BEFORE!
She'll cut you down with a single thrust
She's taking over too quickly
No medication can cure the lust
So say a prayer for the sickly
'Cause she belongs to heaven
She's coming over like a suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip. As before! As before!
You set me up to fucking fail this time
You set me up to fucking fail this time
You set me up to fucking fail this time
You set me up to fucking fail this time
You set me up to fucking fail this time
You set me up to fucking fail this time
You set me up to fucking fail this time
You set me up to fucking fail this time
She's coming over like a suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another overbearing suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip
She's coming over wearing genocide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip. AS BEFORE! AS BEFORE!
The lyrics of "Like Suicide" by Seether (feat. Amy Lee) convey a disturbing message about a toxic relationship that has reached its breaking point. The first verse speaks of premeditation, suggesting that someone is planning to harm another person's trust. The next lines suggest that the person is afraid of being feared and feeling exhausted, bloated, and weary. The line "Cause she belongs to heaven" could be interpreted as either the singer or their partner wanting to end their life. The chorus begins, and we see the singer describing their partner's actions as suicide, and it's the same old trip as before, indicating that it's happened repeatedly. The lyrics tell us that this person's lover is capable of causing harm with a single thrust, taking over too quickly, and that no medication can cure the lust. The singer is asking us to "say a prayer for the sickly," signifying their concern for their partner's well-being. The second verse is similar to the first, with another chorus, and the bridge sees the singer lashing out at their lover, blaming them for their unhappiness.
