Nobody Praying for Me

About Nobody Praying for Me

"Nobody Praying for Me" is a song by South African rock band Seether. It was released on 28 April 2015 as the third single from their sixth studio album Isolate and Medicate. On June 30, Seether released an interactive set of music videos for their single, "Nobody Praying for Me", which centered on perspective when it comes to discrimination and police. Frontman Shaun Morgan said of the video that "our goal in creating this video is for people to educate themselves and make an informed decision on their own, rather than being told by any media outlet saying, this is what you should be thinking, this is what is right. The whole point is to try and shift the way we look at things and to not always leap to our pre-conceived conclusions, which is mostly racially and profile-based, because that's what we get fed all the time. I've been guilty of it too. It's very unfortunate, and it's getting worse instead of better". The music video was directed by Sherif Higazy. "Nobody Praying for Me" has garnered criticism due to similarities with the song "Daisy" by Brand New in their syllabic patterns and lyrical formulas. Morgan had previously listed Daisy as one of his five favorite albums and Brand New as one of his favorite bands. When asked in a Reddit AMA about the issue, Morgan responded by stating the band ripped off Brand New "because we are not creative or intelligent enough to write our own music, of course." more »

I'm a whisper lost upon wind
I'm the ember that'll burn you down
I'm the water that'll 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 fall unfold
Ain't nobody giving up
Cause nobody gives a f*ck
Stand up, and break my bones
Everybody wants what they just can't hold
There's 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, I break my bones
Everybody loves to see it fall unfold
Ain't nobody giving up
'Cause nobody gives a f*ck
Stand up, and break my bones
Everybody wants what they just can't hold
There's nobody praying for me

If I stand up, I break my bones
Everybody loves to see it fall unfold
Ain't nobody giving up
'Cause nobody gives a f*ck
Stand up, break my bones
Everybody wants what they just can't hold
There's nobody praying for me

(There's nobody praying for me)
There's nobody praying for me
