Seether (feat. Amy Lee) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seether is neither black nor white
I try to keep her on a short leash
I try to calm her down
I try to ram her into the ground, yeah
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
Seether is neither big nor small
Seether is the center of it all
I try to rock her in my cradle
I try to knock her out
I try to cram her back in my mouth, yeah
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
Keep her down, boiling water
Keep her down, what a lovely daughter
Oh she is not born like other girls
but I know how to conceive her
Oh she may not look like other girls
but she's a snarl tooth seether
Seether!
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
Yeah
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
The lyrics to Seether by Veruca Salt cover describe the singer's attempt to control and contain an elusive entity, Seether. Seether is neither loose nor tight, black nor white, big nor small, but rather, the center of everything. The singer tries to keep Seether on a short leash and calm her down but ultimately fails, resorting to violence by attempting to ram, rock, knock, and cram her. However, the singer acknowledges the futility of fighting Seether, as they can't see her until they're foaming at the mouth.
The lyric's explicit and violent imagery can be interpreted in various ways. One possible interpretation is that Seether represents the darker and uncontrollable aspect of a person's psyche or personality. The singer's attempt to contain and control Seether could be a symbol of their struggle to manage their impulses and emotions. The violence and frustration in the lyrics could be indicative of the singer's inability to control their darker impulses.
Overall, Seether's lyrics presents a bleak and violent depiction of how individuals struggle with their inner demons and the dangers of suppressing or repressing them. In the end, the singer is unable to fight Seether and can only see her once they're foaming at the mouth, embodying the idea that uncontrollable emotions and impulses will inevitably bubble over.
