Failure is a song by American rock band Sevendust from their fifth studio album Next.

It actually conveys an enlightening message and encourages fans to look at the brighter side of life.

"The message in it is really positive," explains guitarist Sonny Mayo.

"It's about living life thinking you're gonna be a failure, and basing your whole existence on what other people or what another person told you about yourself, and finally coming out and realizing that it's all about inner strength and it doesn't matter what other people think about you.
