Suicidal Thoughts in the Back of the Cadillac Pt. 2
POUYA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

MTM, hit 'em with the heat

I'm a down south Florida boy, ain't goin' back to Hollywood
From the gutter to your guts, let me ignite the firewood
Still I roll slow in the Chevy donk
Never forget where I rose up from, spit on my face, get rid of my funds
And who am I? Just another guy stuck in desperation
Lookin' at the ceilin' fan, spinnin' around, havin' a panic attack
I don't pop no pills 'cause it don't take the pain away from me
I don't crack no seals 'cause it done took the gang away from me
I been known to pimp a ho, got dirty loafers on my feet
Bitch you got me mesmerized, them thighs the size of me
Lemme slide inside yo body beef, bitch
I got my chain on, ain't a thing wrong with a broken frozen wrist (bitch)

(Bitch)

Them suicidal thoughts inside the Cadillac won't fade away
Another day I piss away, another day don't go my way
Another ho gon' look my way, lookin' for a paper chase
But bitch I'm not the one, so get your comfort from another
Them suicidal thoughts inside the Cadillac won't fade away
Another day I piss away, another day don't go my way
Another ho gon' look my way, lookin' for a paper chase
But bitch I'm not the one, so get your comfort from another

Everything I did is crumblin' beneath my feet
I'm feelin' lonely, feelin' like I'm only stuck with memories
Take me back to what I was, take away what I've become
Take away the grayer days, take the bullet out my brain
Take my dick out your mouth and let me be myself
I wonder what the people around me think about me
Back at my shady ways I go
Pack the gat and let it blow
Just let my lover, brother, mother, sisters, father know I love 'em
Mikey I told you we was gon be somethin'
Look at us now 'cause now we buzzin', pressin' buttons
Diamonds dancin' by the dozen
Nick I told you we would rise from nothin'
Look at the way they look at me now
Rich forever, blowin' money 'til I'm senile

Them suicidal thoughts inside the Cadillac won't fade away
Another day I piss away, another day don't go my way
Another ho gon' look my way, lookin' for a paper chase
But bitch I'm not the one, so get your comfort from another
Them suicidal thoughts inside the Cadillac won't fade away
Another day I piss away, another day don't go my way
Another ho gon' look my way, lookin' for a paper chase
But bitch I'm not the one, so get your comfort from another

I got addicted to the money as I fell inside a hole (yo, bitch, hey, yo)
The cries and crowd get louder, the deeper that I go (hey, bitch, uh, yo)
Nobody know what I've been doin', tell myself I hate myself (hey, yo, bitch, bitch)
I can't control the cards I'm dealt (yo, yo, bitch)
I spent a lot of time alone inside my room
Thinkin' about what I would do if I knew you was on the fence about me too, bitch
I crashed the whip and hit a bitch, and almost killed the bitch
And now I'm back in the Cadillac with that black pistol grip
The AC don't work and I'm feelin' like I was a kid again
Feelin' like I wasn't gettin' in with the cooler kids
How the fuck can I get out of this funk?
If I die, you cry, then move on, the next day
I'm ill-advised, fuck you, bitch, you can't even look me in my eyes (bitch, bitch, yo, yo)

Them suicidal thoughts inside the Cadillac won't fade away
Another day I piss away, another day don't go my way
Another ho gon' look my way, lookin' for a paper chase
But bitch I'm not the one, so get your comfort from another
Them suicidal thoughts inside the Cadillac won't fade away
Another day I piss away, another day don't go my way
Another ho gon' look my way, lookin' for a paper chase
But bitch I'm not the one, so get your comfort from another




Them suicidal thoughts inside the Cadillac won't fade away
Fade away, fade away

Overall Meaning

The song "Suicidal Thoughts In The Back Of The Cadillac" by Pouya is an introspective and raw exploration of the rapper's inner demons and struggles with mental health. The lyrics speak to the pervasive pain and sense of hopelessness that can lead to suicidal ideation, which is a particularly important topic for young people living in the United States where suicide is the second leading cause of death for individuals ages 10-34. Pouya, a self-proclaimed "down south Florida boy," speaks to his experiences of feeling lost and alone in the world, and the ways in which he has coped with his pain, including addiction to money, drugs, and alcohol.


Throughout the lyrics, Pouya is clear that he is not the one to provide comfort for others, even as he struggles to find solace and respite from his own thoughts. He laments his lack of control over the cards he's been dealt in life and the mistakes he's made along the way, including almost killing someone in a car accident. The repeated refrain of "Them suicidal thoughts inside the Cadillac won't fade away" underscores the persistent and unrelenting nature of mental illness, which can often feel suffocating and inescapable. The song is a testament to the importance of open and honest dialogue about mental health, and the need for greater resources and support for those struggling with suicidal thoughts.
