Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Remedy. By Songfacts®.

This song is generally about addiction, possibly lead singer Shaun Morgan's addictions. "The Remedy" is the metaphor for the addiction, and in the second half of the chorus, Morgan sings of freeing himself from its grip: "Clip the wings that get you high, and leave them where they lie."

Amy Lee, who was Morgan's girlfriend at the time, appears in the video.

Seether hooked up with producer Bob Marlette (Saliva, Filter) for their third studio album, Karma and Effect. "Remedy" was one of the first songs Shaun Morgan wrote with him. The two met up daily at the producer's Los Angeles house where he had a studio in his garage, and one day Marlette handed him a guitar. When Morgan started riffing, he felt there was something special about the guitar, and the producer dug what he was creating. Marlette especially liked one riff, so he recorded it and added programmed drums. Morgan came up with a verse and they built up the song, adding more lyrics and vocals. "I'm so proud of it," Morgan told American Songwriter in 2022. "It's one of those where you think 'Man, I wish I could write another one like that,' because it's still one of people's favorite songs."
