Daily Dose 6/29 Seether – Rise Above This

“Take the light, undarken everything around me
Call the clowns and listen closely, I’m lost without you
Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I’m fallin’ down but I’ll rise above this, rise above this.”

Bring it up to modern day today. Seether’s Rise Above This video from the new cd Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces. I’m not 100% sure, but it’s said that this song is about Shaun Morgan’s (The Singer) brother that committed suicide but was actually written before his death. I think the message here is that suicide is not a way out. It hurts everyone around you and no matter how depressed you are and the problems you have, there are people that love you and can help. Of course we know this is nothing that hasn’t been said before but sometimes people need to be reminded. Lyrics after the fold.

Seether – Rise Above This Lyrics

Take the light, undarken everything around me
Calm the clouds and listen closely, I’m lost without you
Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I’ve fallin’ down, but I’ll rise above this, rise above this

Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow
And everything’s in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right, but I’ll end this all before it gets me

Call your name every day, when I feel so helpless
I’m fallin’ down, but I’ll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day, when I seem so helpless
I’m fallin’ down, but I’ll rise above this, rise above this doubt

I’ll mend myself before it gets me
(I’ll mend myself before it gets me)
I’ll mend myself before it gets me
(I’ll mend myself before it gets me)

Call your name every day, when I feel so helpless
I’m fallin’ down, but I’ll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I’m feelin’ helpless
Fallin’ down, fallin down’, but I’ll rise above this, rise above this
