SUICIDE
Rihanna feat. Leona Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything is restless in my heart
I hate the way this feels
Suddenly i'm scared to be apart
The days are dark when you're not around
The air is getting hard to breathe
I wish that you would just put me down
I wish that i could go to sleep
Loving you is suicide
I don't know should go or should i stay
I'm tryna to keep myself alive
Knowing there's a chance it's all too late
But i heard you say you love me
That's the part i can't forget
And i wish that you come save me
Cos i'm standing over the edge
I should let you go
Tell myself the things i need to hear
But my brain is why you're wrong
That's why i'm loving you when you're not here
Feels like i drown in your every word
And every breath that's in between
Somehow you got me where it really hurts
It's killing every part of me
Loving you is suicide
I don't know should go or should i stay
I'm tryna to keep myself alive
Knowing there's a chance it's all too late
But i heard you say you love me
That's the part i can't forget
And i wish that you come save me
Boy cos i'm standing over the edge
Loving you is suicide
And my world's about to break
And i... had as much as i can take
And love is a long way down
Loving you is suicide
And it's getting harder everyday
I'm tryna to keep myself alive
Knowing there's a chance it's all too late
And i'm way past every moment
But i'm still determined to fight
And i know it's taking all my strength
To give emotions alive
Loving you is suicide
The lyrics of "Suicide" by Rihanna feat. Liona Lewis describe the turmoil of being in a toxic and dangerous relationship. The singer is fully aware that her lover is detrimental to her well-being, but at the same time, she cannot let go because she is deeply in love with him. The lines "Loving you is suicide, and my world's about to break" perfectly encapsulate the psychological mayhem she is in. The artist feels like she is drowning in her lover's words, and every breath that breathes feels like a struggle. She wishes to be released from this torment but, at the same time, longs for a rescue. The bridge "And love is a long way down" suggests that the artist knows that the fall from this unstable relationship would be devastating, yet she feels powerless to prevent it.
The lyrics also touch on the classic dilemma - choosing between safety and love. The singer is caught between the two extremes and is uncertain about what to do. She knows that staying is always hazardous, but at the same time, leaving is also terrifying. She longs for a savior to come and rescue her from this emotional harm. The song's chorus perfectly mirrors this conflict - between keeping oneself alive and risking it all for love. The artist is aware that it is a dangerous path, yet she finds herself continuing down it despite everything.
