Suicide
JamisonParker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So desperately they wait for
The excuse of love
We live like vampires
And we we we love like killers
We all die like infants
And we trust like mirrors
And the smiles that it brings
It's the pain and the sex
Disguised as hidden sense
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
It's the love of guilt
That fores a habit
Of being dramatically
Over dramatic
We live like vampires
And we we we love like killers
We all die like infants
And we trust like mirrors
It's the smoke and the drinks
And the smiles that it brings
It's the pain and the sex
Disguised as hidden sense
It's the smoke and the drinks
And the smiles that it brings
It's the pain and the sex
Disguised as hidden sense
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
The songs they say are in the key of the illusion of pain and it's irony
In the mist of lust and dropping names the trust they know and they keep the same
The songs they say are in the key of the illusion of pain and it's irony
In the mist of lust and dropping names the trust they know and they keep the same
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
Slow suicide like it or not it's what we do
The lyrics of JamisonParker's "Suicide" bring to light the turbulent and self-destructive nature of the night life. The opening lines "It's the night life that gets them off, so desperately they wait for the excuse of love" suggest that people seek the intensity and rush of the night life to escape from their mundane and monotonous lives. However, the "excuse of love" serves as a temporary respite from the hollow and meaningless existence.
The chorus "We live like vampires, And we we we love like killers, We all die like infants, And we trust like mirrors," underscores the self-destructive nature of the night life. The night life is compared to a slow suicide, where people indulge in alcohol, smoking, drugs, and sex as a means of self-destruction. The lines "It's the pain and the sex, Disguised as hidden sense" suggest that people seek pleasure in pain, and sex is used as a means of escape from the realities of the world.
The song also explores the idea of trust and how people tend to trust like mirrors, i.e., people tend to trust only those who reflect back their own image. The lines, "In the mist of lust and dropping names the trust they know and they keep the same," suggest that people tend to trust only those who are part of their social circle, and trust is often based on superficial things like appearances, money, and status.
Overall, the lyrics of "Suicide" serve as a commentary on the culture of the night life and how people often indulge in self-destructive and reckless behavior as a means of escape.
