Cyanide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want the help but I just don't talk about it
Reaper on my line
I'd be lying saying I thought about it
I stay on my grind, push away all the feelings I be hiding
I stay smiling
Doin' my thang
And I just walk around it
I don't need nobody round me
Just get the fuck out my way then
Watching all my demons stay dining
I just can't fight em
Im a lost cause baby, just trapped behind all the smiling
Posted in the shadows, a ghost stuck in between
I cannot find all of the reasons I'm drifting through all the seas
Boasted now my skeletons hanging for you to see
In case it's relevant,
I've been praying
Waiting, but still I bleed
Pick up the pieces and take them home
Every night I lie awake as I pick at the bones
Pick up the pieces and take them home
Every night I lie awake as I pick at the bones
Stuck in the shadows like I'm a ghost
I've been waiting and playing hangman with my soul
Pick up the pieces and take them home
Every night I lie awake as I pick at the bones
Stuck in the shadows like I'm a ghost
I've been waiting and playing hangman with my soul
The lyrics of Cyanide's song "Hangman" capture the inner turmoil and struggles of the singer as they navigate through a difficult phase in their life. The opening lines portray a sense of acceptance of impending doom, as the singer walks towards their perceived fate. Despite wanting help, they find themselves unable to communicate their feelings, perhaps due to a sense of pride or fear of vulnerability. The imagery of the Reaper on the line reinforces the idea of mortality looming over them, yet they continue to push away their emotions and put on a facade of happiness.
The next set of verses delve into the internal battles and conflicts the singer faces. They acknowledge the lies and deceptions surrounding them, choosing solitude over the company of others who may not understand their struggles. The mention of demons dining and being a lost cause suggests a deep sense of hopelessness and resignation. Despite appearing composed on the outside, the singer feels trapped and overwhelmed by their inner turmoil, with their skeletons metaphorically exposed for the world to see.
The repeated refrain of "Pick up the pieces and take them home / Every night I lie awake as I pick at the bones" conveys a sense of introspection and introspective torment. The imagery of picking at the bones could symbolize a constant rumination over past traumas or mistakes, unable to find peace or resolution. Feeling like a ghost stuck in the shadows, the singer reflects on their perpetual state of waiting and playing "hangman" with their soul, suggesting a continual struggle for self-discovery and salvation amid darkness.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hangman" by Cyanide paint a poignant picture of inner strife, self-reflection, and a relentless battle with personal demons. The singer's journey through darkness and solitude is palpable, as they navigate through their emotions and past traumas in a haunting and introspective manner. The song conveys a raw and emotional exploration of the complexities of the human experience, delving into themes of isolation, desperation, and the search for inner peace amidst chaos.

Walking to my death
Slowly approaching my demise
Want the help but I just don't talk about it
In need of assistance but unable to discuss it
Reaper on my line
Death looming over me
I'd be lying saying I thought about it
I would be dishonest if I claimed to have considered it
I stay on my grind, push away all the feelings I be hiding
I continue working hard, ignoring the emotions I keep bottled up
I stay smiling
I maintain a happy facade
Doin' my thang
Carrying on with my usual activities
And I just walk around it
Simply avoiding the issue
I see all the lies that you're painting before you say em
I can discern the falsehoods you are about to speak
I don't need nobody round me
I prefer solitude
Just get the fuck out my way then
Please move aside
Watching all my demons stay dining
Witnessing my inner struggles consume me
I just can't fight em
I am unable to combat them
Im a lost cause baby, just trapped behind all the smiling
I am beyond salvation, concealed by a mask of happiness
Posted in the shadows, a ghost stuck in between
Hidden in obscurity, caught between worlds
I cannot find all of the reasons I'm drifting through all the seas
I struggle to comprehend why I am adrift in uncertainty
Boasted now my skeletons hanging for you to see
Now my hidden flaws are exposed for all to witness
In case it's relevant, I've been praying
For what it's worth, I have been seeking solace in prayer
Waiting, but still I bleed
Patiently enduring, yet still experiencing pain
Pick up the pieces and take them home
Gather the remnants and bring them with you
Every night I lie awake as I pick at the bones
Each night I am haunted by my past mistakes
Stuck in the shadows like I'm a ghost
Trapped in darkness, like a specter
I've been waiting and playing hangman with my soul
I have been longing for resolution, grappling with my inner demons
