Richard Cheese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And put on a little makeup
Hide the scars
And fade away that shakeup
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Why did you leave the keys upon the table??
I don't think you trust
In my self righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
Je ne vous pense pas vous trust
Dans mon self righteous suicide
Je cry when angels deserve to
Father, father
Fucker, fucker
Father into your hands
I command my spirit
Father into your hands
Why have you forsaken me?
Why have you forsaken me?
I don't think you trust
In my self righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to
Die, ladies and gentleman
The lyrics to Richard Cheese's song Chop Suey! seemingly touch on themes of self-doubt, inner turmoil, and the desire to hide one's vulnerabilities through physical appearance. The first stanza speaks of waking up and putting on makeup, potentially indicating the idea of hiding or masking one's true self. The mention of hiding scars further adds to this concept. The phrase "fade away that shakeup" potentially means trying to forget or suppress difficult emotions or experiences.
The chorus repeats the question of why someone would leave their keys on the table, suggesting a lack of clarity or understanding in the situation. The lyrics "I don't think you trust in my self-righteous suicide" and "I cry when angels deserve to die" suggest a sense of self-righteousness and self-doubt, questioning one's own worthiness or deservingness.

Wake up, grab a brush
Rouse from sleep, seize a handheld grooming tool
And put on a little makeup
Apply cosmetics to enhance appearance
Hide the scars
Conceal the wounds or trauma marks
And fade away that shakeup
Remove the emotional disturbance and distress
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
What motivated you to abandon the keys here instead of carrying them along?
You wanted to
You harbored a desire to do so
Why did you leave the keys upon the table??
What prompted you to desert the keys at this specific spot twice?
I don't think you trust
My impression is that you lack faith
In my self righteous suicide
You don't believe in my ego-driven death
I cry when angels deserve to die
Emotional tears flow when divine beings ought to perish
Je ne vous pense pas vous trust
I don't think that you trust me
Dans mon self righteous suicide
Within my holier-than-thou self-inflicted death
Je cry when angels deserve to
I weep when angels merit demise
Father, father
Daddy, dear father
Fucker, fucker
Bastard, damned
Father into your hands
Daddy, I entrust my fate to you
I command my spirit
I dictate control over my soul
Why have you forsaken me?
Why have you abandoned or deserted me?
I don't think you trust
My judgement is that you lack confidence
In my self righteous suicide
You lack belief in my overweening, self-centered demise
I cry when angels deserve to
Expressions of grief flow when celestial beings warrant extermination
Die, ladies and gentleman
Perish, esteemed audience
