Slow Suicide
Phantom Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could you dare
Never judge another by the cover that they wear
One look at you and I can see
I don't need your bad seeds
No disguise could ever hide
What you want to give to me
So now it's my game you are playing
I won't give in to slow suicide
I know it's hard to turn away
This is not my dying day
Just ain't worth the price of life
For you to give to me
Now do you see what I mean?
Or is it just a one-way street
Lying eyes can hypnotize
To what you want to see
So now it's my game you are playing
You never know what fate can hide
One bad night can leave your life in ruin
I won't give in to slow suicide
Slow suicide, slow suicide
I won't give in to your slow suicide
You're just another mother fucker
Trying to make me weak
Now I know about your kind
And your sick mind
I'll never fall into the trap of slow suicide

Nicole Couch's guitar solo on this song is just crazy! especially for it's time. Jaws were dropping all over Hollywood when she would let this one rip.

Sounds likes Kick in the Gates - Zion.
PlacidDragon
Absolutely some similarities there, yes. I doubt there was any "copying" though, as both released their albums in 1989 (i realize Zion is the older band, but "Kick in the Gates" does not appear on their 1984 demo or 1987 single, only on their 1989 album (so it was probably quite "freshly written" at the time).
