Suffer
Godhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But wasting time is all I do.
Holding on to self control
Gets harder every day.
Torture me no more or go away.
I wait for you
To see the truth.
I'll count the days
I've suffered through
To see if they add up to you.
I never look into your eyes to see the truth.
I know I'll never become you.
Tell me why your conscience lies.
And all your guilt is gone.
Don't you feel you ever could be wrong?
I wait for you to learn the answer.
I'll count the days
I've suffered through
To see if they add up to you.
It never pays
To struggle through
When all that's left is killing you
The lyrics of "Suffer" by Godhead depict the inner turmoil of the singer who is struggling to maintain a relationship with someone who may not be right for them. The opening lines, "I wouldn't waste my time with anyone but you. But wasting time is all I do," express the mixed feelings of love and frustration that the singer has towards their partner. With each passing day, it gets harder to hold onto self-control and not give in to the desire to be with their partner, even though it may not be the healthiest choice for them. The line "Torture me no more or go away" also highlights the inner conflict that the singer is facing - the need for the relationship and the desire to get out of it.
The chorus, "I wait for you to see the truth. I'll tell myself you'll learn the answer," indicates that the singer is hoping that their partner will see the error of their ways and change their behaviour. They are counting the days they have suffered through this relationship to see if it is worth it in the end. The second verse suggests that the singer has stopped looking into their partner's eyes because they know that they will never become them. They question their partner's conscience and guilt, and wonder if they could ever be wrong.
The final line, "It never pays to struggle through when all that's left is killing you," suggests that the singer has come to the realisation that the relationship may not be worth the pain anymore. They can no longer continue to suffer, and it may be time to move on.
