The meaning of the song “Not Original,” the second song released off All I See Is War, as Sevendust rhythm guitarist John Connolly explains, is, “The society we live in is so polarized, I don’t know if it’s America or what.” The song is rather mellow, unlike a typical Sevendust song.

Not Original Lyrics
[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
I sorta like deceiving
And all this tragic loss
I wanna find some patience
But kill the feelings off
I wanna drown in praise
But never really deliver
I wanna feel insane, insane
[Pre-Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon]
So long to go, you know
[Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
Oh, I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
[Verse 2: Lajon Witherspoon & Clint Lowery]
Do I start it over
Before I self-destruct?
What's the perfect way to say I'm lost? I just give up
Yeah, I wanna try and change (I wanna try and change)
The vanity in the mirror
I know you feel the same, insane
[Pre-Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon]
So long to go, you know
[Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
Oh, I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
[Refrain: Lajon Witherspoon]
I'm not original anymore
[Bridge: Lajon Witherspoon]
One by one, they fall
Use your words for war
Chasing open doors
For what it's worth
[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon]
No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore

I think everyone at some point in their life has that type of feeling, maybe not original, [but] am I cool enough? Do they like me, am I hip? If you listen to the song, it kinda talks about almost being in a writer’s block kind of situation, like...
