Suffocation
Crystal Castles Lyrics

We ignore refused consent
Animals do not repent
Courtesy to intervene
Weathered down my selfish needs

I suffocate
And promise me you won't resuscitate
And when I change my mind it's far too late
I'm wasting my days as I've wasted my nights and I've wasted my youth
You're waiting for something you've waited in vain because there's nothing for you

Suffocation

Humility yet to be seen
Models made of plasticine
Morality disgrace us now
Entertain and take a bow

I suffocate
And promise me you won't resuscitate
And when I change my mind it's far too late
I'm wasting my days as I've wasted my nights and I've wasted my youth
You're waiting for something you've waited in vain because there's nothing for you

Suffocation

yeh. sorry mari, but you couldn’t be more wrong. everything they do has a meaning.

one might argue that 90 percent of the “feelings” that 90 percent of fans perceive from cc lyrics are incongruous with their “meanings”

I'll be surprised if Ethan can ever match this album. This was the peak of CC.

my favorite is their debut then II and i haven't listened enough to III

James Blackwood

4y↑15

definitely gotta agree with homeboy above me. II was definitely their peak.

I enjoyed III, but the only track I still go back to is "Transgender"... and "Kerosene" on occasion...II on the other hand...wooo shit... complete opposite... I'm always going back to it...

Michael De Leon

5y↑4

+Elvira Dark how is III their peak when they broke up after it? I knew it was over the first time I heard III. Definitely not their peak.

CC died when Alice left. Ethan makes good music but it was disrespectful of him to just replace Alice. After the dust settles he should keep making music but let the name Crystal Castles die like it should have.

Hearing the line "And if I change my mind it's far too late" always sends me chills because it sounds like someone who just committed suicide and suddenly has those second thoughts of wanting to actually live now, but it's too late they can't turn back after the damage has been done :(

Bf and I found one of our close friends bodies while I had this playing. Literally found her as the part at 0:16 starts so I associate that sound w the feeling of finding her. I could see and feel the world spinning and I felt so small but so singled out in that moment. Like a ball under a cup, but everyone knew I was there. Idk. wonder where you went. you okay?

I used to always listen to this song back in 2011. I played it in the background while 'grinding' for hours on one of my favorite online video game, which since then has met an unfortunate permanent shutdown :/ But this song reminds me of that time, and I honor it so much for that :)
