Seether: Driven Under Meaning
Song Released: 2003
Driven Under Lyrics
when I’m lying next to you?
Do you think that I am blind
nothing left for me to lose?
Must be something on your mind
something lost and left behind
Do you know I’m faking now?
Do you know I’m faking
when I’m...

1TOP RATED
#1 top rated interpretation:Yes, major emotional turmoil. Note that the character (this doesn't have to be the singer!) is not the one talking about guns or any reference to violence. He (if we can assume boy/girl here) just has a mix of deep feelings ranging from attraction to indifference to thinking about needing to leave. Despite the statement about a gun (which could even just be a metaphor for anything drastic, like divorce threats), he still loves her - enchanted, despite not being able to make things work.. Hence the references (many more) to faking.
Awesome song, btw. The musical power and emotional delivery really strikes a chord with me.
Summary: I think it is all about emotional volatility in a relationship, and a situation that seems to continually get to the "crazy place". -
The push and pull of a second love. Both have past pain; more mature. Neither believe the other;love is for idiots. so they never are intimate at the same time. The gun is terminating pregnancy or control because o pregnancy.the world is loveless and we all repeatedly suffer . That my interpretation of driven under

I think it's about Courtney Love getting away with killing Kurt Cobain, referencing Nirvana's "No I don't have a gun"

It’s about a time in the Past when his father took a criminal charge to save his son from going to prison...he couldn’t let his son miss the chance at being famous and lyrically impressive. The love between a parent and a child...the gun was used On them but one was faking while the other Deals with daily turmoil bc they live with freedom over the innocent.

About facing the uncertain and mostly unfortunate realities of a relationship. And how to process this is crippling, yet makes someone aware.

In the movie misery Annie Wilkes states that she had a gun and had one used it.

It's about a tranny.

I don't think it's about his relationship, because the music video doesn't suggest that, at all. It's basically him walking through the street and singing, with people giving him a funny look.
I personally think it's about remorse. I don't know why, I just get that impression. 0.0 -

My view point is different from you.the boy is helpless becoz his girl doesn't believe him.she had a terrible past and she denys his closeness becoz of her past."Then she told me she had a gun ,it sounded like she’d used it once before on him".these lines refers to feelings and a broken relationship.she had done something terrible to her old boy friend and the boy is trying to make her believe that he is not a scar in her past.

This song was most likely written about Shaun’s parents, throughout his childhood they were always fighting. The song portrays how out of hand relationships can get. The song refers to a gun, this could be a metaphor for something else, anyway, it is used against his father and then the mother threatens that she will use it against him (Shaun). There is love in this relationship as well as a lethal mixture of other strong emotions. "We have to, succumb to the feelings we can never face, I need you, I breath you, I can’t go through this all again."
This was definitely NOT written about Amy Lee as it was written back when the band was still under the name Saron Gas. -

To me, this sounds like Shaun losing interest in Amy, or another woman, I don't know. It sounds like they've had so many breakups that this is the last time, she warns him with a gun if he doesn't go away, but Shaun doesn't want to feel the same crap all over again and begs her to take him back, but, she still doesn't want him around, really this sounds like a dangerous breakup, he probably made her mad enough to where she wanted to shoot him.
