Taste of Suicide
Dimestore Hoods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tears fall down the window...
Another lonely night,
Staring down a barrel...
A loaded .45,

And who are my friends today...
Juts a face in this masquerade,
Well I'm in love with nothing,
A taste of suicide...

It burns me to the ground...
It rules me with a frown...
Save my soul... not again,
All that's dead inside you,

Face my fault like a friend,
Oh no... I wish I never met you,
Raised on this apathy,
That's in the air,

Save my soul... not again,
I've seen the end...
Faces in the mirror,
Of a tired man,

Longing for the freedom,
Waiting in my hand,
And what would my mother say,
When they lower me in the grave,

I'm in love with nothing,
A taste of suicide...
It burns me to the ground...
It rules me with a frown...

Save my soul... not again,
All that's dead inside you,
Face my fault like a friend,
Oh no... I wish I never met you,

Raised on insanity,
That's in the air,
Save my soul... not again,
I've seen... I won't...

I'll wake above the fire,
(to see now in her dreams)
Life's over a lonely night, I won't...
I fear the silent cries,

(feel this way again)
Cold chill through the wily night, I won't...
Be brave day to day now kid,




(see another way)
I don't... fear to see the end...

This song represents the darker times I came through. Times; which sometimes slip into present, just to show me I must keep goin' on... And try to never look back, into the past...
