I agree with texastersdr0p, that it's about a girl, and the failure to show her how he really feels. I also agree that it could mean that he is hiding his self anger and his emotions from others, but if you listen to the song and read the lyrics closely, there's someone else involved in the problem: hence the word "sympathetic". he waits for her to understand, and he's always there for her no matter what, but she doesn't know how he really feels, and that's where the line "the same old feelings are taking over" and there's nothing he can do about the way he feels, "and I can't seem to make it go away". apparently he was hurt by her or someone else("and the scars I'm left with swallow again")(possibly her"and the words you left me linger on"),and he doesn't want it to happen again, so he pushes her away even though he cares so much for her. he doesn't want to get hurt, but without her, he's lost("I'm falling, falling....") I know that that's all sounding like I'm some freak, but who cares, I just needed to get that whole thing off my chest, because I been through that. I hate it so much, and yet, I can't help but fall for her. I drags me down every day, and it hurts to keep it all locked inside.
anyway, Seether rocks hard core. I love this band, their deffinately one of my top bands ever. they're the best!
