Burrito Lyrics

I try to hide myself
Give this to someone else
My hands are stained with scum
Wish I could wash it away
You keep taking, taking away
And keep breaking, breaking, break

I can't believe in yesterday
I feel you coming in
I can't just stand by and watch you

Save yourself as you fall from grace
When you come around I won't be your sympathy

The worst is over now
You said it anyhow
My life in monochrome
Wish I could regain control
You keep taking, taking away
I keep faking, faking, fake

I can't believe in yesterday
I feel you coming in
I can't just stand by and watch you

Save yourself as you fall from grace
When you come around I won't be your sympathy

Find me, feel me, fill me, then cut me up again
Find me, feel me, fill me, then cut me up

Hate
Me

I can't believe in yesterday
I feel you coming in
I can't just stand by and watch you

Save yourself as you fall from grace
When you come around I won't be your sympathy
Save yourself as you fall from grace
When you come around I won't be your sympathy

Hate

Burrito

From 2002-2005, the Osbourne family had a reality show on MTV called The Osbournes, which followed the domestic adventures of Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack. Watching Ozzy in grumpy old man mode proved irresistible to viewers, as we saw him struggle with the typical challenges of running a household (or at least living in one run by his wife) while he also dealt with more unconventional problems, like his daughter dating a rock star (Bert McCracken of The Used).

Seether needed a title for this song, and inspiration struck when they were watching Ozzy attempt a more commonplace task on the show. The band's frontman Shaun Morgan told us : "Ozzy was running around mumbling about spicy burritos. And it was one of those moments where it was like, this is a legendary man, but it's a different side of him. It seemed real vulnerable and real personal. So we just picked it because it was a tongue-in-cheek homage to Ozzy Osbourne."

Seether were big fans of Ozzy, but despite playing at Ozzfest in 2002, hadn't met the man.

The band started writing this for the soundtrack of the 2003 movie Daredevil, but their song "Hang On" was used instead.

The song has nothing to do with burritos, which are not mentioned in the lyrics. It's really about dealing with a person who hurt you, and moving on from that relationship. Shaun Morgan had been dating Amy Lee of Evanescence.
