Dead By Sunrise – In The Darkness Lyrics 16 years ago
I don't know that I see infidelity in the lyrics... But anything is possible I suppose. I take it another way.

I take the song lyrics as alluding to 2 new lovers, both learning from past experiences and overcoming pain and mistrust. "Coming so easily... Learning how to live" gives me that impression.

I think the giving up of control and making him a martyr for love.... Means he is once again willing to lose it all in the search for that euphoric love that he now feels every time he sees her. The burning of the heart... He is still "In the Darkness" of that past hurt, but wanting to trust the feeling pulling him to her!

That is my take... New Love and both wanting to trust it's real! Thoughts????

Seether – Driven Under Lyrics 16 years ago
Hi guys... I am new to the forum, but have looked in from time to time.

I am a bit confused about all of the lyrics as well. But my take is this:

I think the girl is hung up on an old relationship and an old hurt. She is not trusting of her own feelings. I feel that in the lyrics, the guy may be somewhat antagonistic and "matter of fact like" with an implication that "SHE KNOWS HE IS FAKING", alluding to his belief that no matter what he does, she won't believe he is for real in what he says.

"Do you think that I am blind, to everything you say and do" may, and I am using a similar experience, that the girl is inflective, and walls off, and can never be happy with what he gives her, because she can never trust herself or anything he tries to show her as real. Maybe she is fearful of being hurt again, so she projects!

The whole gun thing, that is what makes me wonder... If it is about his mother then fine, but I am sure that the song has many interpretations.

I think the succumbing bridge may refer to possibly either trusting, believing in what is in front of her, or getting out altogether. Somewhat of an ultimatum. Maybe the gun is the "triggering" of ending the relationship.

Either way, it is a very powerful song. This and Broken are my 2 faves as far as emotional meanings are concerned for Seether! Opinions, I'd really like some feedback!
