Take the light, and darken everything around me
Call the clowns and listen closely I'm lost without you
Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow
And everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right, but I'll end this all before it gets me [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/seether/rise_above_this.html ]
Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day when I seem so helpless
I've fallen down, and I'll rise above this, rise above this doubt
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I'm feelin' helpless
I'm Falling down, falling down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this,
Rise above this, rise above this doubt
This song/video gets to me so bad. I lost my uncle through suicide last april and it has been a whirlwind of anger, sadness, bitterness, love, hate, and everything else mixed in together. Anyone who has lived through the same, my heart goes out to you. It is indeed a selfish act, but you learn to move on, and somehow find a way to love that person though it's the hardest thing sometimes. Rip eugine, all my love and sympathy to shaun's family.
I think he is speaking directly to his brother. He must have felt his brother took the light out of life when he died and he wants to tell him some things that he didn't get to. I think he wants him to know that he wont do the same thing. This song shows the most important thing about music and that is getting your feelings out and sharing them with others. Seether has a lot of rockin songs that are also very good for your self esteem, such as fuck it and fake it, i recommend them to anyone.
The best part about music is it can be interpretted in so many ways and none of them are wrong. If a song speaks to you and you can relate that to something in your life what difference does it make about the real meaning behind it?

I love this song, i think it is about the suicide of his brother. The parts where he says hell rise above this is the way he says he has to keep on going for his brother. If ya wanna check out more on these guys check out guitar center sessions with nick harcort and look up seether. It gives a good interview with the band that explains some of these things.

Virtus, i am right there with you sweetie. I always loved this song... Now its the anthem of my angel. My sister comitted suicide too in june of 2009 it is and always will be the hardest thing we will ever go through. My heart is with you babes. ~amanda from nh
Sorry.. It is clowns.. Lost my mind for a minute! And this song was written before his brother committed suicide.. But it helped him get though it... But if you didn't know that, you can use the words to this song and apply them to almost any extreme circumstance... Shaun morgans lyrics are so heartfelt.. He amazes me!
