Suicide
Hexx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say he lost his mind.
He took his own life willingly,
Before it was his time.
Now he's gone
I sill see his face
Suicide
What kind of horror
Fills this world with pain?
So much that our children
Would take their lives in vain?
Just 21, barely learned to live
Suicide
Nothing left to give.
I grieve now, not just for him
But for our wretched souls
We made this Hell we live in
And now it takes it's toll
It's useless now to speculate
Suicide
Now it's just too late.
The song "Suicide" by Hexx is a tribute to a friend who took his life willingly because he had lost his mind. The first few lines introduce the premise of the song by stating that the artist had a friend who committed suicide. The next line expresses shock and sorrow at what happened, indicating that the friend took his own life before his time. The artist goes on to describe the loss he feels and how the memory of his friend still haunts him.
The chorus of the song, "Suicide, had to get out of this place" highlights the feelings of despair and hopelessness that the friend must have felt when he decided to end his life. Later in the song, the artist begins to question the nature of the world and the horrors that lie within it. He questions why so much pain exists that it can make children take their own lives.
The final verse of the song, "It's useless now to speculate, Suicide, now it's just too late," brings home the finality of the situation. The artist comes to terms with the fact that there is nothing that can be done to turn back time, and that his friend's death was irreparable.
