If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive?
Though I'm closer to wrong
I'm no further from right
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me, yeah
No there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie
But I'm trying to keep my intentions disguised
And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give
Deprived of my conscience
This all belongs to me, yeah
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
The deception you show is your own paradise
Just a word of advice you can heed if you like
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convincd on the inside you're so much more than me, yeah
I'm beaten down

I'm no further from right

I'm beaten down

one of my favorite songs of the album...seether at their best some lyrics are wrong like is not " The deception you show is your own paradise" it is "The deception you show is your own parasite"
This song makes me think he has lied to someone and now feels bad about it. He thinks the other person is better than him because they don't lie like he does and nothing that person says can justify his lie.
Possibly, but with all the "Holiday" references in the video, it makes me believe that he is refering to the mass media contsruing the "Truth" of these holidays in order for business' to flourish in profits from subliminal messages placed in marketing schemes which make us feel the need to buy things because of the holidays. you see Santa (Christmas), the pumpkin (Halloween), the Easter Bunny fighting Uncle Sam maybe? (Easter)...what do you think?

this is one of my favorites on the album...... going to be releasing it as a single in a few weeks, saw them in concert a few nights ago with crossfade and dark new day..... best concert ive been to
I wish they'd come to Australia, it's killing me knowing that I can only watch them on youtube.

Typical great song from Seether. I think SR65 is pretty close on the idea that he lied and is feeling bad about it, but to me there's more to it than that.
This may be way off base, but the way I see it he did something that he thought would hurt the other person but the person wants to believe the best instead of the truth so he let them believe what they wanted rather than hurting them (Though I'm closer to wrong I'm no further from right... The deception you show is your own paradise)
Now he wants to tell the truth but he knows that if he does it will just complicate things more and hurt the person worse so he has to live with both the original act and the lie.
The first time I heard this song it immediately reminded me of something that happened to me. My girlfriend and I had an argument so I went out with her best friend. The next day she called and apologized and we got back together, but I didn't tell her about going out with her friend. Other people told her that they had seen us together and she told them that said we were the two people she trusted the most and she didn't believe either of us would do that to her. Rather than telling her the truth we kept our mouths shut. Now it's really awkward when we are all three around each other because of the tension created by both her friend and I fooling around on her and the fact that even if we told her she probably wouldn't believe it now and if she did believe it it would hurt her worse now than if we had told her the truth from the beginning.

Boy.. heres hoping she doesnt read this page!
anyway I like this song, even though i have only heard a 30 second sample.
"I'm beaten down again, I belong to them..."
Sounds like a reference to the music industry, which seems to be a major theme on the album.
this song is awesome
What do you guys think about the government lieing to us?
i think they do it all the fucking time
no one really knows what goes on, and most of the time thats a good thing. it protects our safety and welfare, and is completely constitutional : ].
fuckin unreal song!!!
