Remedy Lyrics
And speak but don't pretend I won't defend you anymore you see
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for you
My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing, I know it's me...

#1 top rated interpretation:I think this song is about taking a drug and going to rehab but starting again. Such as when it say "throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here wilth me","The skin is dry and pale(im guessing a side-effect of the drug),"just leave them were they lie and tell yourself you will be the death of me" and "hold your eyes closed take me in (obviously saying listen to me and help me). And when he repeats it I think it means he started again

#2 top rated interpretation:The song was actually written by Kurt Cobain before Nirvana. Seether just covered a song that was never actually published. It's about his addiction with heroin and dealing with that. "The skin is dry and pail" refers to symptoms of heroin uses, the skin gets dry and itchy, it also turns pail. Just listen to the song for the love of god.

May be it's all kinds of addictions and how to cope

Allright the first time i heard this song i was 14 and i listened to it all the time. While i loved it i didnt fully understand it until listening to it again years later at age 22 recovering from a severe opiate addiction it is just painfully obvious that this particular song is about opiate abuse.
the song continually goes back and forth from resisting the drug - "I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away", "Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie,And tell yourself, "you'll be the death of me" To giving in- "Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail, And so we go back to the remedy" of course every opiate addict justifies use, or tries to limit it once going through the dreaded physical detox- "So come sit by the fire and play a while, but you can't stay too long." Then you are stuck again and once again regretful wanting to get clean realizing that you are killing yourself. "It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for you
My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing, I know it's me you fear" Once this realization sets in it really does become a struggle for your life and you find yourself pleading with yourself to stop so that you may once again live-"I see my heart explode, it's been eroded by the weather here,If you want me hold me back","It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for pleasure" Even the music video reflects all this the young kids going to the fun house having the time of their lives, about halfway through they realize in horror its not the ride they expected it to be, and in the end they all die.
Just the humble insight of an ex heroin addict who couldnt really relate until dealing with the mind games and physical addiction opiates bring. It starts out great and ends up in physical and emotional despair, detoxing several times, only to relapse and then start the cycle over again. Its exhausting, yet something you can really only understand if you have gone through it. So please- if you have never used the needle to get high don't judge us who have, and never try it yourself. Dont think you are too good to get into that situation either because i was once one of those girls who was repulsed and baffled by junkies, and at one point would have laughed if you told me i was going to end up one. Much love everyone. -
it could be about any kind of cancer, but drinking and drugs are the cause. Stomach Cancer, Liver Cancer, any kind of afflicting cancer. and the only remedy is rehabilitation through Chemotherapy and Radiation. it makes sense when you come up with your own ideas what the song means to you.

it's about alchohol addiction. and the singer is telling the story of a guy who thinks his remedy is booze. and when he realizes it's killing him he clips the wings and says it'll be the death of him. and i need to mend so far away means getting sober in rehab. this song tells about getting sober.

I think this song is about drug addicton. "frail the skin is dry and pale the pain will never fail so it goes back to the remedy." The remedy being the drug and going back to it after it effects you. "Clip the wings that get you high just leave them where the lie, tell yourself you'll be the death of me." This is quitting the drug going to rehad and telling yourself its going to be the deah of you.

The song is about the lead singers alchohol or drug addiction and how he got over it. its got nothing to do with nirvana at all.

the lyrics pretty much tell the story, the video pushes the metaphor.on the video its calld the ride of your life and the people go through some trippy stuff and end up dead in the end so i believe the lyrics speak of drugs,i mean it just makes sense,btw kurt would agree he just wouldnt call someone out cus of it

The "Nirvana Line" as I call it is the obvious meaning to those who worship Nirvana and grunge music as a whole.
Though this is an acceptable viewpoint, I think it is one that is pushed upon any three member band of this genre. Musicians in general have to submit, in some form that they were influenced by Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, however they are capable of writing their own songs and forming their own independent sound.
Seether is a very powerful band both musically and lyrically speaking. To disregard that and attribute their music solely as repetition or a tribute to someone else. Is completely blasphemous and ignorant.
Music is not the Kevin Bacon game, anyone, if they analyzed it long enough, could make comparisons between anything. Everything is somewhat relative, and thus if looked at on a microscopic level, will look the same.
All music is sounds arranged in a pattern. All the patterns have some of the same pieces. Some things will match up.
The people who tear the music apart verse by verse and chord by chord are simply failing to hear it for what it is, and that defeats the purpose entirely.I think even Cobain could agree with that. -
Keep dreaming, dummmy. Seether sounds nothing like Nirvana.
As for Remedy this song is about anorexia. Don't belive me? In live versions he sings near the end"Slip, the skinny diet pill, the pain will never fail" -
