Lullaby Suicide
Ryan Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has walked me through your kingdom
I'll tell you what I see
I see the difference in everything
Until my mind has gone
Until your colors run
I want to be like you
I wake up and
You have said
I want to be young, I want to be free
Of my head
And sometimes you
Remind me of that
And nothing will take my dreams away
I believe everything I was told
I believe that you never grow old
I would tell you the same today
But I've been given away
I wanna be bad
I wanna be young again
So take my wish and tell me that
I never caught you and I never can
I'll never catch you and I never can
So take my days
Take them away
Take my days and
Take them away
I never wanted you
I never wanted this
I'm ready to live again
Take me away from here
Take me away from here
Take me away from here
The lyrics to Ryan Star's song Lullaby Suicide appear to be about an individual struggling with their mental health, and feeling a strong desire to be like someone else. The first verse suggests that this person feels they have been guided by someone else's actions and words, leading them through a "kingdom" that wasn't their own. The line "I'll tell you what I see, I see the difference in everything" implies that this person may feel like they are not able to fit in or belong in the world around them.
The chorus suggests a desire to escape the pain and confusion in their own mind, with the lyric "I want to be young, I want to be free, of my head." This person then reflects on their own beliefs, stating "I believe everything I was told, I believe that you never grow old." It's possible that they are referring to a role model or someone they have idolized who seems to have all the answers and has stayed young at heart.
As the song continues, the desire to escape becomes more urgent, with the repeated line "take me away from here." The final lines, "I never wanted you, I never wanted this, I'm ready to live again," suggests that this person may be experiencing feelings of hopelessness and desperation, but is still holding onto a glimmer of hope for a better future.

And all you've said and done
Your words and actions have guided me through your world
Has walked me through your kingdom
Your guidance has allowed me to see things from your perspective
I'll tell you what I see
I'm going to share my interpretation of what I've experienced
I see the difference in everything
Your way of life differs greatly from mine
Until my mind has gone
I'll keep searching for answers until I can no longer think
Until your colors run
I'll follow your path until it's no longer vibrant
I want to be like you
I aspire to embody your perfection
Perfect in all of the things you do
I want every aspect of myself to be flawless like you
I wake up and
Every morning I arise
You have said
I remember your words
I want to be young, I want to be free
I yearn for a youthful, uninhibited existence
Of my head
Without the weight of my thoughts weighing me down
And sometimes you
Occasionally, I recall
Remind me of that
You help me recapture that feeling
And nothing will take my dreams away
I won't let anything stop me from pursuing my aspirations
I believe everything I was told
I trusted what I was taught
I believe that you never grow old
I trust that you're immortal
I would tell you the same today
I still hold these beliefs now
But I've been given away
I've lost my faith and trust in you
I wanna be bad
I want to break out of my confines
I wanna be young again
I yearn for the carefree days of my youth
So take my wish and tell me that
Grant my desire and make me believe
I never caught you and I never can
I acknowledge that I can't keep up with you
Take my days
Remove my existence
Take them away
Extract me from existence
I never wanted you
I didn't ask for your guidance
I never wanted this
I didn't desire this path
I'm ready to live again
I'm ready to experience life on my own terms
Take me away from here
Remove me from my current situation
Take me away from here
Free me from my current circumstances
Take me away from here
Allow me to escape from here
