Best Alternative-Rock Albums - Seether-Isolate and Medicate, including Album covers, lyrics, audios and videos. Seether Profile.
Artist: Seether
Album: Isolate and Medicate (2014)
Hailing from South Africa and comprising members Shaun Morgan (vocals, guitar), Dale Stewart (bass), and John Humphrey (drums), Seether embraces a brand of heavy metal mostly associated with the post-grunge era of alternative music, complete with crunchy distortion and brooding textures.
The band emerged in 1999 as Saron Gas (a name taken from the back of a sound effects CD) and released their debut album, Fragile, the following year on Musketeer Records. In a country whose musical tastes center around pop and indigenous music, Fragile found impressive chart success. Across the Atlantic, the U.S.-based Wind Up Records caught wind of the band's growing popularity and signed the South African bandmates, who changed their name to Seether in light of Saron Gas' similarity to the lethal nerve agent sarin gas.
An EP release and a spot on the Ozzfest tour preceded the unveiling of Seether's full-length debut in the summer of 2002. Issued that August, Disclaimer featured the modern rock single "Fine Again" and led to a year-long tour, during which singer Morgan's relationship with Evanescence siren Amy Lee blossomed. But while the tour ensured increasing commercial status for Seether, it also delayed the band's return to the studio.
In March 2004, a few tracks appeared on the Punisher soundtrack, including a duet version of Disclaimer's "Broken" featuring vocal contributions from Lee. Disclaimer II appeared that June, pairing a handful of new tracks with remixed or re-recorded versions of the previous album's tracks. Seether viewed the album as an opportunity to re-evaluate their debut's release (whose mix was, according to the band, subpar) and gave listeners new content as a holdover until the band's proper follow-up.
The promised sophomore effort, Karma and Effect, was released in May 2005 and entered the Top Ten, while the acoustic CD/DVD package One Cold Night appeared in 2006. Following Morgan's breakup with Amy Lee and a successful stint in rehab, Seether returned in 2007 with Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces, introducing the album with the snide and catchy single "Fake It."
In 2009 the band took a break from touring to head into the studio with producer Brendan O'Brien to work on their fifth album. They went back out on the road for another year before eventually releasing Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray in 2011. Isolate and Medicate, the band's sixth studio long-player, followed in 2014.

Seether-Isolate and Medicate (2014) - Tracklist, Lyrics 'n' Videos
As helpless slave's, to a mother who's a whore.
So you reveal all your naked non-compliance.
A faceless name undeserving of a soul.
Hey, can you hear me now?
I know I'm nothing but found.
Say, can you help me out?
But my intention's were good.
Hey, can you help me down?
What's lost is better unfound.
Say, can you wait me out?
Cause I will see you at the bottom.
See you at the bottom.
If you stay I will feed you to the fire.
and with a smile, I will rake you on the coal's.
I cant believe I was bested by a liar.
Cause I believe I was meant for so much more.
Hey, can you hear me now?
I know I'm nothing but found.
Say, can you help me out?
But my intention's were good.
Hey, can you help me down?
What's lost is better unfound.
Say, can you wait me out?
Cause I will see you at the bottom.
(so)
Searching for god, god, god, god.
Hey, can you hear me now?
I know I'm nothing but found.
Say, can you help me out?
But my intention's were good.
Hey, can you help me down?
What's lost is better unfound.
Say, can you wait me out?
Cause I will see you at the bottom.
See you at the bottom.
I'll see you at the bottom.
Hey, can you hear me now.
(I'll see you at the bottom)
Hey, can you help me out.
Then pray for the rain to go away
I'm trying to forget I let us both down
Then pray for the sun to come again
I never thought I could feel so small
But you're the one that can't live without attention
I never thought I would lose this all
But you're the one who needs the fucking intervention
Now I'm reliving my whole damn life
And it's a shame that I can't remember
And now I'm living the same damn lie
It's a shame, but nothing's forever
With every new regret I start to wear down
Then pray for the pain to go away
I need an amulet, I need a new sound
I know everything remains the same
I never thought I could feel so small
I'm the one who will suffer this detention
I never thought I would lose this all
But I accept this is my new education
Now I'm reliving my whole damn life
And it's a shame that I can't remember
And now I'm living the same damn lie
It's a shame, but nothing's forever
Keep me locked up in your broken mind
I keep searching, never been able
To find a light behind your dead eyes
Not anything at all
You keep living in your own lie
Ever deceitful and ever unfaithful
Keep me guessing, keep me terrified
Take everything from my world
Say, can you help me right before the fall?
Take what you can and lead me to the wolves
Keep me dumb, keep me paralyzed
Why try slimming? I'm drowning in fable
You're not that saint that you externalize
You're not anything at all
(All I really want is something beautiful to say)
It's all so playful when you demonize
To spit out the hateful, you're willing and able
Your words are weapons of the terrified
You're nothing in my world
Say, can you help me right before the fall?
Take what you can and lead me to the wolves
All I really want is something beautiful to say
Keep me guessing, keep me terrified
All I really want is something beautiful to say
You keep living in your own lie
All I really want is something beautiful to say
To never fade away
I wanna live forever
All I really want is something beautiful to say
To never fade away
I wanna live forever
You keep living in your own lie
Keep me guessing, keep me terrified
All I really want is something beautiful to say
Say, can you help me right before the fall?
Take what you can and lead me to the wolves
All I really want is something beautiful to say
Words are weapons of the terrified
All I really want is something beautiful to say
Keep me guessing, keep me terrified
All I really want is something beautiful to say
To never fade away
I wanna live forever
All I really want is something beautiful to say
To never fade away
I wanna live forever
I believe that your words enable, Now somebody better hide my gun
I believe that your tears are fable, I believe that you stole my sun
I believe that your wounds are fatal, Now you’re really gonna have some fun
Let me cross the line, now so I feel alive
So don’t let me down again, Praise me, free me
So don’t let me down again, Key to my disaster
So don’t let me down again, Break me, Bleed me
So don’t let me down again, Key to my disaster
I can see there are thoughts unfaithful, And I concede that my heart is blind
You believe that you should be able, To use my body and break my back
You believe that my mind is feeble, And every day I reveal the cracks
I believe this is finally over, Now I’ve suffered through my last attack
Let me cross the line, now so I feel alive
So don’t let me down again, Praise me, free me
So don’t let me down again, Key to my disaster
So don’t let me down again, Break me, Bleed me
So don’t let me down again, Key to my disaster
Let me cross the line, now, So I feel alive
So, please don’t let me down again, Praise me, free me
So don’t let me down again, Key to my disaster
So don’t let me down again, Break me, Bleed me
So don’t let me down again, Key to my disaster
I tread softly while keeping my head hung
It's all we know, we're screaming without a sound
You speak softly and carry a big gun
It's over now, the whispers are all around
You keep searching for something you can't find
And now time has flown, and vanity drags you down
You keep searching for something you can't take
Send me on my way
Send me back for shame
Say my name again and I feel like I have lost
Play your game again and you'll find me empty
Say my name again and I feel like I have lost
Play your game again and I'll try a little harder
You speak softly and carry a big gun
Send me on my way
Send me back for shame
All indications prove you're all mutations and you all have nothing to say
HATE!Look down on me
BREAK!Look down on me
SLEEP!Look down on me
PLAY! Look down on me
I can't believe everything you perceive is what's rightfully coming your way
Take me back to where I need to go
(Inside me)
Show me how to question all I know
(Excite me)
You come around and reveal yourself
You come down and express education
All fall down as we kill ourselves
When it all goes down
I'll be ready to suffer it all
My aggravation is manifestation of all of the shit that you say
This complication will lead to damnation of all those who stand in my way
HATE! Look down on me
BREAK! Look down on me
SLEEP! Look down on me
PLAY! Look down on me
I can't believe everything you perceive is what's rightfully coming your way
Take me back to where I need to go
(Inside me)
Show me how to question all I know
(Excite me)
You come around and reveal yourself
You come down and express education
All fall down as we kill ourselves
When it all goes down
I'll be ready to suffer it all
Take me back to where I need to go
(Inside me)
Show me how to question all I know
(Excite me)
You come around and reveal yourself
You come down and express education
All fall down as we kill ourselves
When it all goes down
I'll be ready to suffer it all
I'll be ready to suffer it all
I'll be ready to suffer it all
I wanted to suggest we let this sh*t go.
I over stayed a while and let you beat on my soul. I never could digest how you where so cold, and shield behind a smile where teeth are sharp as they shown.
the bullet in you head, it had my name on.
I'm gonna run and hide, I'll disappear for a while. I feel so dead inside and its all you fault.
but you don't feed me now
no longer hold me down
you'll never watch me drown...
I hope you figure it out
no longer sicken with doubt
you'll never watch me drown...
with every day gone by, I felt so useless and old.
I never could decide, why it should be so.
another wasted try, to say what I can't control.
I feel so dead inside, and it's all your fault.
but you don't feed me now
no longer hold me down
you'll never watch me drown...
I hope you figure it out
no longer sicken with doubt
you'll never watch me drown...
I wanted to forget how you swallowed me whole.
I wanted to suggest we let this sh*t go.
I over stayed a while and let you beat on my soul. I never could digest how you where so cold.
but you don't feed me now
no longer hold me down
you'll never watch me drown...
I hope you figure it out
no longer sicken with doubt
you'll never watch me drown...
I'm the ember that will burn you down
I'm the water that will drown you
I'm a star that's just a black hole now
I'm a terrifying danger
I'm a fruit decaying on the ground
I'm a swallower of anger
I'm the tree that falls that makes no sound
I make no sound
Cause if I Stand up, I break my bones
Everybody loves to see it all unfold
Ain't nobody giving up
Cause nobody gives a fuck
Stand up, break my bones
Everybody wants what they just can't hold
There is nobody praying for me
I am fungus in the forest
I'm a lizard with a poisoned tongue
I'm the child in the manger
I'm the one who sacrificed his son
Rust is showing on my armor
I am lazing like an old man done
I'm a product of my anger
I'm the bullet in a loaded gun
Stand up, break my bones
Everybody loves to see it all unfold
Ain't nobody giving up
Cause nobody gives a fuck
Stand up, break my bones
Everybody wants what they just can't hold
Ain't nobody praying for me
The cold hard ground is refuge for the lost
Feed the flies, stave the hunger off
Breathe out lies expel them with a cough
You'll never keep me safe from harm
The hurt just keeps on coming on
I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still finding reasons to believe in better days now
I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still trying to figure how to keep the dogs at bay now
When the leaves turn brown and the hope is lost
Make no sound and brush emotions off
Breathe inside a fear that leaves you soft
Breathe a sigh and write that epitaph
You'll never keep me safe from harm
The hurt just keeps on coming on
I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still finding reasons to believe in better days now
I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still trying to figure how to keep the dogs at bay now
I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still finding reasons to believe in better days now
I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still trying to figure how to keep the dogs at bay now
Spoken words in songs unsung
I never learn from my mistakes
I guess I don't have what it takes
I wish that I was strong
That I could walk away
All this time I've lost
I feel the cost re-paid
So save today the secrets that you prayed for
And wait 'cause we deserve it so much more
So save the secrets that you prayed for
Awake, I'll see you on the other side
A tortured soul have I become
Keeps me safe and leaves me numb
'Cause in this dream I'm wide awake
The one I love I did forsake
I wish that I was wrong
That you'd come home again
All this time I've lost
I'll never find again
So save today the secrets that you prayed for
And wait 'cause we deserve it so much more
So save the secrets that you prayed for
Awake, I'll see you on the other side
Say you can help me now
Say you can help me now
Say you can help me now
Say you can help me now
