Seed

Lyrics

Every day it gets a little harder, can't seem to get away.
I remember there's a certain place, a place I wish I'd stay.
I feel so lost within - pressured, I'm headed for that day.
Just one thought in my head, really. Do I need this fame?

Every time, god damn, I look at my son (seed), I see something I can't be.
Beautiful and care free, that's how I used to be.
Like some god damn fucking freak, I'm so pressured, I'm so weak,
Something takes a hold of me, something I can't believe.

I lay in bed at night and wonder, should I go on this way?
It's the only thing I really got for now, and it's called fame.

Every time, god damn, I look at my son (seed), I see something I can't be.
Beautiful and care free, that's how I used to be.
Like some god damn fucking freak, I'm so pressured, I'm so weak,
something takes a hold of me, something I can't believe.

So I see this face so innocent and fine... and so fine.
So I see this face and I realize it's mine.

I feel the rattle...

So I see this face so innocent and fine... and so fine.
So I see this face and I realize it's mine.

I feel the rattle...

Every time, god damn, I look at my son (seed), I see something I can't be.
Beautiful and care free, that's how I used to be.
Like some god damn fucking freak, I'm so pressured, I'm so weak,
something takes a hold of me, something I can't believe.

Like some god damn fucking freak!


Song Meaning

"Seed.  That's all about the same thing again.  I, laying in bed in my hotel room, thinking about do I really need all this stuff?  All this pressure on me?  Because I'm a stressed out freak.  It's about Nathan, it's about every time that I look into his eyes, I see myself how I used to be, innocent and stress free.  I'm kind of jealous of it.  It really sucks, I used to be that way.  It's like I have to work so hard at  this thing in my life.  I have to become a stressed out freak.  I put food on the table for my child.  Every time I look in his eyes, I just see myself staring right back at my ass laughing.  I was like care free, innocent as a child.   It's really weird and I'm really jealous of it." - Jonathan Davis
