Plastic Man Lyrics
I am a plastic man, wish I can be the one you could be proud of
I’m losing heart again, wish I could show you what you think I’m made of
Someday I know I’ll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade
I Am a perfect sale, just wrap me up with your bow and flowers
I will neglect to tell, I’ll sell your story that we love each other
Someday I know I’ll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade
Someday I know I’ll find my place, someday I know I’ll sing my last refrain
Why don't you let me be, and I’ll pretend I’m well
‘Cause you’re too blind to see, and I’m too tired to tell
And in your apathy, your head begins to swell
Another tragedy, but you’re too cold to feel
Someday I know I’ll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade
Someday I know I’ll find my place, someday I’ll sing my last refrain
I’m losing heart again, wish I could show you what you think I’m made of
Someday I know I’ll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade
I will neglect to tell, I’ll sell your story that we love each other
Someday I know I’ll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade
Someday I know I’ll find my place, someday I know I’ll sing my last refrain
‘Cause you’re too blind to see, and I’m too tired to tell
And in your apathy, your head begins to swell
Another tragedy, but you’re too cold to feel
Someday I know I’ll find my place, someday I’ll sing my last refrain

this made me cry... i think its about someone who is STILL in a relationship but the love has died...or possibly never existed at all but for some reason or another he cant leave.
This song is so damn deppressing....gotta love it. I think thats the proper meaning about the neglect.
But to me it means trying to fit up to other peoples standerds and being lost... or it could be about break up
This song - and band - is absolutely brilliant! I have been a huge fan from way back when they were still Saron Gas and Shaun Morgan was still only known as Shaun Welgemoed. The lyrics given here aren't quite correct, I think..."...someday I'll sing my last reFRAIN" and "Why don't YOU let me be" The meaning of the song? I get the feeling its about a lost and broken relationship between a parent and his/her child...the child feels that he/she can't live up to the expectations of the parent, but the parent is actually indifferent to the child's feelings and struggle with finding him-/herself!
Just have to add that I think the bonus track that is sung in Afrikaans is a cool touch and shows at least that Seether still remember South Africa!
You are just another idiot who hopped on the "Broken" bandwagon and now feels the need to justify his fandom by claiming to like the band "way back when they were still Saron Gas and Shaun Morgan was still only known as Shaun Welgemoed." Seriously man, shut the hell up and quit trying to pretend as if you were one of the band's first fans. No one cares how long you've been a fan.

I also think the song is about a lost or broken relationship.
"I Am a perfect sale, just wrap me up with your bow and flowers I will neglect to tell, I’ll sell your story that we love each other"
^These lines are like when people buy each other gifts to show love. Flowers, for instance, neglect to tell all the bad things that have happened. They fake a story that those people really love each other and all is well, when in reality all isn't well.
Actually Numpomelelo he says rePHRASE not refrain. Why would he say sing my last refrain?

@MySelfAffliction I believe he says last "refrain" and not "rephrase" for one because rephrase makes less sense there than refrain does. And for two because refrain is to keep oneself from doing something which might suggest a resistance against the parent or significant other.

?Huh? When I posted that on the 6th of May the lyrics were wrong, but its been updated since then...and if my eyes don't deceive me, it says my last refrain! It does actually make sense MySelfAffliction Let me throw the question back at you...why would he sing rePHRASE...doesn't make sense! I would think that even an 18-year old would be able to figure that out for himself! It makes sense that he would sing about singing his last refrain, because it a refrain is a line in poetry/music that is repeated at regular intervals! Henceforth it is easy to surmize that he - being a musician - would refer to his death as "...I'll sing my last refrain" Comments?
your stupid and have a small penis!

Refain = right Rephrase= wrong

rephrase? huh? why the hell hell would he sing that? of course its reFRAIN, dammit. beside the fact that 'rephrase' would be completely fuckin senseless, you can even hear clearly that he says REFRAIN. its a song, man. he's a musician. duh.
I think Lady X is right on. I love this song and what it means. When he says wrap me up with a bow and flowers, I will neglect to tell. Ill sell your story that we love each other. The couple put on a face in public and looked like the perfect couple. Secretlyl knowing they were unhappy
The way his voice goes up when he sings the chorus is absolutely awesome. The best 'nice sounding' song on the album.
