Lyrics:
Hold me now, I need to feel relief
Like I never wanted anything
I suppose I'll let this go
And find a reason I'll hold on to
I'm so ashamed of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to get by
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
I can't face myself when I wake up
And look inside a mirror
I'm so ashamed of that thing
I suppose I'll let it go
Till I have something more to say for me
I'm so afraid of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to defy
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
Hold me now I need to feel complete
Like I matter to the one I need
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
Now I'm ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of this
Now I'm so ashamed of me
I am so ashamed of me

I can honestly say I wouldn't be alive if not for this song. While in the Marine Corps, things got to a boiling point and I was ready to just end everything. This song popped up on my playlist on my 360 and for the first time I really listened to the words. I broke down, and finally all the built up emotions came like a flood. These are powerful lyrics, and I hope that somehow the band gets to read this. Thanks Seether, you saved a Marine's life.

This song actually makes me smile... because once upon a time I was a traumatized, unloved, unstable and broken girl who met a boy who thought i hung the moon in the sky by my own hand and I couldn't for the life of me understand why. He's been my husband for 13 yrs now and taught me ive always been worthy of love 🖤

"I don't belong here and I'm not well.." You have to fight depression and anxiety everyday to overcome this feeling. It seems impossible at times, but I wanted to say this song has kept me going.

This song helped me get sober. Thank you Seether and thank you Shaun Morgan for putting yourself out there. This song truly played such a big role in me getting off meth. I remember playing this song at Max volume and crying in my car because I knew I needed to go to rehab ..For the third time. And that meant I had to tell everyone who was rooting for me that I was actually lying and actually a huge failure and I didn’t stay sober after my 2nd rehab. I lied to everyone for months, nearly a year. I had a small child, a 2 year old and I couldnt be the mother he deserved. Today I am meth free and me and my 5 year old son have an inseparable bond!! I’ve loved this song since I was 12, didn’t know it would have such a powerful impact on my life in my early 20s..love this band and love everything that they have unknowingly helped me through ❤️

When I first married my husband I was so deep into My depression I'd sit in a bath and listen to this and 'save today' in my head headphones because I didn't want him to know... 3 years later, I'm alone, he's dead, and I'm listening to it to gain strength again. Seether has a way of breaking you all the way down and rebuilding you in the next 3 minutes.

[@BlackofRose99]

So you know, you aren't alone. So many of us suffer from depression and it's nothing to be ashamed of having. So hang in there as best you can, brighter days eventually find us even when we don't think they will.

When this song first came out i was in depression so deep I seriously thought about taking my own life. I was a cutter and couldn't stand myself. I was told I was hated and believed that no one wanted me around. I heard this song and it as well as many other Songs by Seether helped get me through the roughest times I had in my life. Shaun Morgan may never read this note but hearing his voice and listening to the tune of all of their songs eased my mind. Their music spoke volumes to me and kept me going, i felt like the songs knew what I was thinking and I really felt like the members of Seether were with me. Thank you guys for getting this girl through you really are my friends through your music

[@donniedarko2815]

We’re happy about that Dani. Hope you’re still with us.

[@UncleTahko]

The song is about a man who kills a young girl in a car crash in Southern Mexico. Each year, on The Day of the Dead, he visits the cross at the side of the road at the place where she died, and spends the night there. Meanwhile, the ghost of a little girl goes into town with a Curandero to visit her father and sister, who the man had been dating. As he is driving to the cross, he sees the ghost walking on the side of the road. The ghost of the little girl leaves candy skulls, representing her forgiveness, on the man's bed. The "Gift" is the life he took, and the forgiveness she gives him. P.S. Man y'all are letdowns, you can see the video or hear the song as you want but trash talking is not what he wanted out of his music. The ones commenting about this saving there lives or seeing something different than my comment that's one thing but the ones that down talk others because I c&p that's on you.

I love all the different interpretations of this song. My little sister turned to me after listening to it and said "i understand the title now" i said what? She said the gift is life and hes suicidal or mentally ill. I have always understood "the gift" as a womens love for him and he doesnt feel the same. I asked my wife what she thought the song meant and she said it reminded her about a guy who got someone pregnant but doesnt want a baby with the girl (baby being the gift). I then asked my older sister and she said it meant to her that this guy has an amazing talent (gift) hes really good at what he does but he hates doing it. My brother in law said it reminded him of a person who is an addict who keeps hurting his family. So many different meanings and all make perfect sense. Genius!

[@youngsomalia1511]

Considering the video is this whole homage to the Mexican day of the dead celebration, or at least so I've been lead to believe all of these years!, I always thought that the "gift" was in fact forgiveness for the life of the girl who he killed. Just because someone forgives you doesn't always mean you can forgive yourself "I'm so afraid", "I'm so ashamed" etc

Seether is one of my favorites. This song for sure, recently I was baptized and joined the church (saved many years ago and backslide, lose of a loved one) changed my life and re-devoted my life to Christ. The woman I truly love (love doesn't change even if a person does) isn't willing to change or even have respect for the fact that I have, and command a different environment or at least try. Tonight while she was at work, I was forced to leave the home I made, everything I worked for, and her. Now sitting here listening to this song I TRULY UNDERSTAND THIS SONG. I love her, pray for her, and hope she makes a happy and productive life in Jesus, because God comes first and I can't live a life devoted to him with her. Please pray for her, thank you.

This speaks to me on so many levels 😢❤ Your music has gotten me through the roughest times in my life. My son who was murdered 5yrs ago, during a home invasion, was in a pic on your website or a flyer for the show in WI. He was so tall so he stood out. He loved you just like u did. He grew up listening to you his bc of my awesome parenting. He snuck to see you guys perform at The Rave in Milwaukee and caught a drumstic!!!🎉He came home and told me about it, I was so jealous but he gave me the drumstick bc he was such a good kid. I miss him so much. Love you guys so much❤🤟

[@brokeguy11]

Just like*I did. Auto correct 😅

[@pokeeusebio5040]

12 years ago I watched Seether live in Calgary then this song was played everyone was opening a hole in the middle for mosh pit and then I turned myself into the pit and there was a couple dancing the song like a ballad and It was so beautiful I will never forget it 🖤

[@Donna777]

I can just picture it. Sounds beautiful ❤️

[@joecogz1217]

Since I discovered Seether listening to anything else is a waste of time.It has been about 5 years now.

[@kvaxer22]

Try Mushroomhead ;)

[@fabianernestopacheco]

Right man |m|,

[@drevanswanson2461]

Great band

[@jacque4170]

Agreed! I found their music in 2004 - can't stop falling in love all over again and again and again and . . . . . . . . . .

[@jasonmims9783]

Thank you guys so much, if ever met y'all I'd hug each and every one of U. Thank you. Ive never been able to afford a therapist 😂 💪❤️

20 plus years & I'm loving Seether then now & for ALWAYS!

[@bethanyoneal5789]

This is such a beautiful and powerful song and a beautiful video to add to the song

[@imhatchmantoo]

I agree.. their entire career was worth making this one track. Easily one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life.

[@someonehuman748]

Can't believe how much time has as past.. so much had happened. This band helped me, help me get through a lot

[@avrilraven5499]

This song.. So so relatable. Anyone else feel like this could be a letter back to God? This whole song. Every word.

[@danielcox8895]

So accurate man

[@ksandbergfl9609]

This song describes how I feel every day of my life. I'm out of reasons to believe in myself

[@avrilraven5499]

@@ksandbergfl9609 I hope you can find a reason to believe in you again. It’s a hard journey, but if you can make it, it’s worth it. The hard times tell you what you’re made of, and you just might surprise yourself.

[@briankwiatkowski8172]

Yes! That's what It makes me think of, like so afraid of the gift Gods given me aka my life and all the blessings in it, and the guilt and everything you feel for all the wrong you do and taking it for granted

[@khristyree1770]

The gift was his awakening.

[@eliaskingston5085]

Last 22 years I've listened to mostly death, thrash and black metal. But this is one radio song that got my attention. It's a good song.

[@hermanenterprise5090]

I’m so afraid of defeat, and I’m out of reasons to believe in me

[@jessihowell6728]

This song is so therapeutic I listened to this everyday whole estranged from my family. Even tho the skies are no longer grey.... this still stings

[@brianmitchell719]

jessi howell I know the estranged from family all to well I left home at 16 to do my own life spent 10 years involved with music only seen my parents 4 times in that 10 years and was only for short times I’ve now started to settle down and have been around my parents for a year now it’s still crazy I’m use to always being gone and on the go getting use to a non music related job is hard but I enjoy it

It's 2018 and I'm listening to this for the first time and I have tear rolling down my face! Man y'all hit my feelings hard on this one!

[@BSO420]

this shit made me cry after my dad died i heard it for the first time. lit my fucking soul on fire

[@risabug7772]

Man this is one of their old songs. It still makes me cry, nearly 20 years later.

[@tswalth]

I love these lyrics. I would love to write music with this guy❤

[@mtbhomegrownhoney.1750]

Don't be afraid of a precious gift that is given to two people who deserve to be happy and to feel unconditional love like never before...for two people who grew up together and went separate ways for over 40 years to come back into each other's lives and to have built a honest to God relationship with each other and especially with God....how could it not be written in the stars ...I feel that God brought you in my life for the exact reason I feel so strongly for you....he doesn't do things like this for no reason, it was meant to be....I love you ❤

[@pygmy531]

It sucks that there's not more bands like this, half of the shit now a days is about sex and getting women but these songs actually has a story.

[@kevinoldman232]

Sex and money is what most rap music is about

[@AmitUtkarsh99]

fuck this deserves so much more views and likes instead of the crap we are forced to listen everywhere... smh

[@davidchavera3132]

I wish I could sing this to my mom.. She left me when I was so young to live a life full of drugs and alcohol. She was always so strong, made it through a lot, and that was the gift she gave me.. And now I am going through so much and I am afraid to use that gift she gave me, to be strong.. I am falling. Fast.

[@kingragnar8023]

Stay strong! You are so much more than the insecurities you have

[@squirrelness]

Seether was my first concert ever back in '05. thank you for the music!

[@Woody-cs7kh]

Same!!!

[@ivansnyder6167]

Greatest song ever written or performed! Could not ever ask for a better artist or song writer. This song helped me get through the hardest time of my life!

[@jasonblount9877]

Specifics too personal? I've got some hardcore struggles currently. Might be what I need to keep reminding me my daughter deserves a great life. Just not certain I'm the father who can give it to her. Makes me think of permanently stepping off. The short term pain of me leaving could be less than the longterm pain my presence may cause, just a theory...

[@azzkicker8061]

Jason Blount don't underestimate the devastation losing you wud cause ur family. You are only thinking about urself. Suicide is so selfish

[@amandaharris6175]

I agree,it's a" gives you chills" song

So true, still to this day it helps me through tough times. Thank you Seether!

[@Nostalgic684]

When we stumble this song is here to pick us up .

[@yourgirlautumn641]

Here after going to one of their concerts and wow, if the lyrics don’t already give me life, it was absolutely igniting to hear their voices and see them for what I’ve seen them for, for 12 years them and their songs have pushed me through a lot and it was a life changing experience

[@ayoubtal]

Each time I comment here, know that I am not doing well, and this song lifts me up, everytime for 12 years and I am sure it will still do.

[@CraZedAnaRCHiSt89]

Shaun wrote this song in memory in a girl that got killed in mexico while driving. a day before that happened, she gave him a 'gift' (hence the song). Hes writing about how hes ashamed, and how he doesn't belong there and this and that. Amazing writer.

[@Messiahbolical7]

i feel my IQ has dropped just from reading your comment...

[@CraZedAnaRCHiSt89]

that's to bad because shaun himself said that's what it was about, haha idiot. :) it sucks to be wrong I know. maybe next time champ.

[@NathanPalmer]

He's right though. That's what the song is about. The guy would fall asleep at her grave and those little skull candies would be there when he woke up which is why it's "I'm so afraid of the gift you give me" if I remember correctly.

[@CraZedAnaRCHiSt89]

that is correct!

[@rachaelricupati7594]

You are all wrong. It's about his daughter. Shaun said so himself in the on demand interview. Go to seether online and you can see for you're self. It's at the end

Everyone goes through bad times, even the worse of times. Your not alone, sometimes you feel alone but your not! Even though sometimes the worse of times can keep piling and piling until you feel like you can't take no more, just don't give up. There's a reason why were still alive our happiness will come one day. Just hang in there, once you dig so deep the only way to go is up

Por que esta canción tan solo tiene un millón y medio donde visitas!? 😭😭 por que el mundo prefiere música tan simplista en vez de obras de arte en su genero, no es que canciones pop sean malas ni nada de eso, pero deberíamos como personas preferir siempre música con sentido, dedicacion, pasión y con estructuras mas elaboradas amo. Seether 💕 jajaja

[@naomi9415]

Hola estoy súper de acuerdo contigo es verdad no es que la demás música sea como tal mala sino que la mayoría prefiere pop de que solo habla de puro amor banda que habla de lujos y mujeres reggaeton que habla de hoteles y mujeres si te das cuenta los vídeos también son igualitos dónde hay personas bailando con cuerpo perfecto en casas grandes carros de lujo etcétera y siempre es lo mismo en letra ritmo y todo Esto que dijiste de obras de artes es verdad también música con sentido 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏lo cual yo no veo con esos géneros que mencioné

I'm sorry for your and boom bash's loss i wish i could do something because i see a lot of this and try to help them but in the end i lost someone two. i had to grow through it and i'm not trying to be one of those people but it still takes me time still to this day to stop crying at nights but now it's rare for that and i'm sure your way past that cause i'm just a big baby. lol anyway i'm sorry for your guy's lose.

[@michaelshuey5716]

Auggy IzzAble I lost my very best friend Dec 23, 2012 He was like brother to me, since I never had a biological brother. And my buddys real brother was diagnosed with cancer and my best friend had told me that he didn't know how he would get by after he lost his brother to cancer. We went and visited his brother in the hospital and hung out together that whole day. Then two days later he had called my phone wanting to know if I could help him get a job where I was working and he left a voicemail because I didn't hear the phone ring. But anyhow a couple more days later and I got a call from one of our mutual friends telling me that they'd found my best friend unconscious and not breathing and pink foam was coming out of his mouth . And one of the EMTs told our friend that pink foam coming out his mouth was not a good sign and things probably weren't gonna come out ok for him. But they took him to the hospital and was placed on life support and the very next day the Dr announced that he was brain dead and there's nothing else they could do for him and that the life support was the only thing keeping his body alive, but his brain had zero activity. But he ended up dead before his brother. And his brother with whom I had also became pretty good friends with died about 30 days after Larry. And I lost two friends in a 60 day period. And two years before that in July 2010 I had lost my dad to heart failure. I'm still not over it. And I think about all of them almost everyday

[@bjrounds4742]

This song used to comfort me when I was depressed and not getting attention from my unrequited love at the time. I was getting lost in this song, reliving that lost boy moment, when my fiancée snuck up and wrapped his arms around me. This song hits differently when you matter to the one you need.

[@GhostOutdoors_86]

I lost a good friend in a car accident around the time this song was hot. They played it at his funeral. Reminds me of him whenever I hear it.

[@michaelantoine2663]

I'm laying here in a detox center waiting to go to a treatment facility after being sober for 11 years. I feel so defeated, ashamed, afraid. Yet 6 of those 11yrs were spent with the most perfect, healthy woman i've ever been with....she was the gift. She refuses to give up on me. Time to live my life in truth, not denile or shame. This song is so relatable to me right now.

[@nolanaliff5781]

Music is subjective, thats the beauty of it. Before ever seeing this video or knowing the story behind it, it meant something totally different to me. I come from a long line of addiction on both sides of my family, Im a recovering alcoholic and put my family through hell with my drinking. Everything in this song makes me think of how I felt about myself during those times, while I was drinking I didnt care, but when I faced myself in the mirror the next morning I was ashamed. I felt like I didnt belong in their lives, I was a weight holding them down. I was always afraid to face sobriety but that was the gift that my kids gave me, they gave me the strength to do it but it was scary. My oldest daughter is a freshman in college, her 16 year old sister is trying to graduate with her associates and follow in her footsteps and my 12 and 10 year olds are some pretty good kids man, it feels good having broke the cycle when for years it looked so dark. This song is still therapeutic for me and helps me reflect when things start getting a little scetchy, thanks Shaun.

[@crazyseen4787]

this song explains the opposite of me. the gift god gave me is how life works. after receiving this gift, it's like I have no conscious. I don't feel ashamed, afraid, guilt, or any emotions for that matter but this song does sound beautiful and that's why I hit the like button.

[@mignas]

Being close to the edge and listening to Seether is like using venom to treat a snake bite. Not sure why, but it worked.

[@mdsn7736]

I had to go through difficult times after my high school, failing to get into good colleges and losing some precious years of my life. I had made my parents very ashamed of me because of my carelessness. I used to act strong . But this song hit every note of my guilt and shame. The lyrics broke all the emotions I kept to myself. I've picked myself up from those troubling times and finished college and even got my Masters degree. Now I've got a job and I can gladly say that my parents are happy and proud of me. To all of the people going through difficulty in life, all I can say is hang on and don't lose hope. You will make it through. There's always spring after the winter.
