Something In The Way
Seether (feat. Amy Lee) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way
Ummmmm
Something in the way, yeah
Ummmmm
Something in the way
Ummmmm
Something in the way, yeah
Ummmmm
Something in the way
Ummmmm
Something in the way, yeah
Ummmmm

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way
Ummmmm
Something in the way, yeah

Line by Line Meaning

Underneath the bridge
I am living in a shelter beneath a bridge


The tarp has sprung a leak
The cover I am using is damaged and is letting in water


And the animals I've trapped
I have caught some creatures and kept them as pets


Have all become my pets
I now care for them and treat them like my own animals


And I'm living off of grass
I am trying to survive by eating plants


And the drippings from the ceiling
I collect water from the shelter's roof that's dripping down


But it's okay to eat fish
I find nothing wrong in fishing and eating them


'Cause they don't have any feelings
I think fish do not feel pain or emotions when they're caught and killed


Something in the way
There is a certain feeling, emotion or vibe that affects me


Ummmmm
An expression of the artist's emotions that cannot be captured in words


Something in the way, yeah
Reinforcing the earlier idea that there is something causing the portrayal of the dismal life

He sounds like Kurt but isn’t Kurt. But he has an AMAZING voice.

I've listened multiple times and it gives me the freaking chills especially when he says/sings 'Yea'..almost creepily Kurt-like..but the talent oozes from every note.🎵

Ashley Mc
