Seether Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Lougolas 

Cover art for Seether lyrics by Veruca Salt

I think it comes from when you're seething with anger and lose control. You're so angry that you can't control your own actions, the person who's in control is "the seether". There's a girl who lives inside us all called the seether and she comes out when we're mad, even if we try to stop her.

I like the line from "Volcano Girls" - "the seether's Louise" - because my name's Louise and I get that way sometimes.

@Lougolas There is no doubt that is the A-line story of the song. But Nina has specifically mentioned that the whole album is largely about young women discovering sexuality and power. I think many of the interpretations attached to the song are valid. Even if not completely consciously intended by the author, if that is the case. That's kind of how poetry works.
