Suicidal tendencies
Sonic youth with sonic dreams
Suicidal tendencies
I left a trail of pills to find my broken heart and your lost mind
Here I go losing control
Watch me slip down a rabbit hole
Here I go losing control
Sonic youth with sonic dreams
Suicidal tendencies
I left a trail of pills to find my broken heart and your lost mind
I used to wanna ride for 2 live crew now I do it all for you
Catch me in the middle of the night
With dreams so fierce I hold you tight
It's the very thing that I vowed to love
And I hate this game and I wanna get off tonight
Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off tonight
Sonic youth in your tears
Sonic youth in your fears
Sonic youth with sonic dreams and suicidal tendencies
The opening lines of HEARTSREVOLUTION's Digital Suicide, "Sonic youth with sonic dreams, Suicidal tendencies," sets the tone for the rest of the song. Sonic youth symbolizes the dreamer, the idealistic, and the hopeful - the kind of person who is always searching for something. The phrase "suicidal tendencies" is a metaphor for the darker side of those dreams: the pressure, the anxiety, and the feeling of being overwhelmed by the weight of the world. The lines evoke a sense of the fragility of the human mind and how it can so quickly teeter between hope and despair.
The lyrics "Here I go losing control, Watch me slip down a rabbit hole" underline the idea of someone who is drifting away from reality. A "rabbit hole" in this sense is a metaphor for a place that takes you further and further from the light, and towards a place where you can't return. The song becomes a declaration of love, with the lyrics "I used to wanna ride for 2 live crew now I do it all for you, Catch me in the middle of the night, With dreams so fierce I hold you tight." The lyrics capture how being in love can be both a source of immense joy but also tremendous pain.
In the end, the lyrics "Stop the world, I wanna get off tonight," is a plea for everything to stop so the singer can cling to love just a little bit longer. The song is a bittersweet love letter to the dreamer, with lyrics that evoke a sense of nostalgia for feelings that once felt so boundless and freeing. Digital Suicide is a powerful reminder of how music can evoke emotions and memories, both beautiful and painful.
