About Nobody

"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."

I'm trying to find a reason to mend my ways
But this hesitation, well it slows me down
And it feels like I have lost you along the way, yeah
No ventilation, well it chokes me out

(Confront it)
If you keep talking that way (?)
Nobody's gonna find it hard
If you keep passing the blame, yeah (? intervention)
You die with a lonely heart

I am filled with reservation and you with shame
A compulsive nature and a hurtful mouth
Now I make this observation to clear my name, yeah
You're a black constellation with the stars burnt out

(Confront it)
If you keep talking that way (?)
Nobody's gonna find it hard
If you keep passing the blame, yeah (? intervention)
You die with a lonely heart

You can't make me stay, yeah
(Tell me can you take it?)
Can't make me stay, yeah
(Tell me can you take it?)
Can't make me stay, yeah
(Well tell me can you take it?)
Can't make me stay

(Confront it)
If you keep talking that way (?)
Nobody's gonna find it hard
If you keep passing the blame, yeah (? intervention)
You die with a lonely heart

You can't make me stay, yeah
(Tell me can you take it?)
Can't make me stay, yeah
(Tell me can you take it?)
Can't make me stay, yeah
(Well tell me can you take it?)
Can't make me stay
