The Sound
Highly Suspect Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh no
Here comes that sound again

It's an unfathomable state
But I can't take this shit another day
For the people that wanna spread hate
Suck a dick, ayy
I just had the worst damn day
Now I'm smokin' on our wedding cake
It fixes all my mistakes
Slit my wrist down to the red ground, bleed out

'Cause I gave you all, yeah, of my love
Now get away, it isn't safe
I got that fire in my lungs
But you gave me all of, of your hate
Now get away, it isn't safe
I got that fire in my lungs

Got your conditional craze
When material deteriorates
Where everybody but everybody believe in the truth
Well, stick 'em up, proof
Can you hear the Tin Man fall?
Alongside these padded walls
The joker's in the broad daylight
With a smile, two balloons, and a knife

'Cause I gave you all of my love
Now get away, it isn't safe
I got that fire in my lungs
But you gave me all of, of your hate
Now get away, it isn't safe
I got that fire in my lungs

'Cause I gave you all, yeah, of my love
Now get away, it isn't safe
I got that fire in my lungs
But you gave me all of, of your hate
Now get away, it isn't safe
I keep my hand on my gun
(Fire, fire, fire in my lungs)
(Fire, fire, fire in my lungs)
I got that fire in my lungs (fire, fire, fire in my lungs)
(Fire, fire, fire in my lungs)
(Fire, fire, fire in my lungs)
I got that fire in my lungs (fire, fire, fire in my lungs)
(Fire, fire, fire)
(Fire, fire, fire)




(Fire, fire, fire)
(Fire, fire, fire)

Overall Meaning

The Sound by Highly Suspect is a powerful anthem that delves into the intense emotions evoked by a toxic relationship. The opening lines "Oh no, here comes that sound again" signify the arrival of a familiar and unwelcome trigger that sets off a sequence of negative emotions. The singer admits that he is in an "unfathomable state" but cannot bear to endure the pain any longer. The song is a defiant call to all those who propagate hate, asking them to "suck a dick". The singer acknowledges being at his lowest, smoking marijuana to forget his troubles and even contemplating suicide ("Slit my wrist down to the red ground, bleed out").


The chorus "Cause I gave you all, yeah, of my love. Now get away, it isn't safe. I've got that fire in my lungs. But you gave me all of, of your hate. Now get away, it isn't safe" portrays the intensity of an emotionally abusive relationship. The singer has given his all to the person who is now the cause of his distress. He recognizes how dangerous the situation is and warns them to stay away.


The second verse alludes to the disillusionment that comes with the collection of material possessions. The singer challenges those who believe in lies and evidence that cannot be substantiated. He warns those who propagate falsehoods to "stick 'em up, proof". The song ends with a haunting image of a jester in the broad daylight holding balloons and a knife, signaling the contrast between his cheery appearance and his deadly intentions.

Lyrics:

It's a unfathomable state,
But I can't take this shit another day.
For the people that wanna spread hate,
Suck a dick, ay.
I just had the worst damn day,
Now I'm smoking on a wedding cake.
It fixes all my mistakes,
Slit my wrist down to the red ground,
Bleed out.

Cause I gave you all of my love,
Get away, it isn't safe.
I've got that fire in my lungs,
But you gave me all, your hate,
Get away, it isn't safe,
I've got that fire in my lungs.

Got you conditioned, no crates,
When material deteriorates.
Where everybody but everybody believe in the truth,
I stuck them up, proof.
Can you hear the tin man fall,
Alongside these padded walls.
The joker's in the broad daylight,
With a smile, two balloons and a knife.

Cause I gave you all of my love,
Get away, it isn't safe.
I've got that fire in my lungs,
But you gave me all, your hate,
Get away, it isn't safe,
I've got that fire in my lungs.

Cause I gave you all of my love,
Get away, it isn't safe.
I've got that fire in my lungs,
But you gave me all, your hate,
Get away, it isn't safe,
I keep my hand on my gun.

I've got that fire in my lungs!
I've got that fire in my lungs!

Oh no
Here comes that sound again

It's an ephemeral state
But I can't take this shit another day
For the people that wanna spread hate
Suck a d**k, ayy
I just had the worst damn day
Now I'm smokin' on that wedding cake
It fixes all my mistakes
Split my wrist down to the red ground, bleed out

'Cause I gave you all, yeah, of my love
Now get away, it isn't safe
I got that fire in my lungs
But you gave me all of, of your hate
Now get away, it isn't safe
I got that fire in my lungs

Got your conditional crates
Where materials deteriorate
When everybody but everybody believe in the truth
Well, stick 'em up, proof
Can you hear the Tin Man fall
From inside these padded walls?
The joker's in the broad day of light
With a smile, two balloons, and a knife

'Cause I gave you all of my love
Now get away, it isn't safe
I got that fire in my lungs
But you gave me all of, of your hate
Now get away, it isn't safe
I got that fire in my lungs

But you gave me all of, of your hate
Now get away, it isn't safe
I keep my hand on my gun

I got that fire in my lungs
I got that fire in my lungs
