SUICIDE
Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seven hundred ways just to take a stand
People are moving, people try to get by
They're never gonna stop, so why shouldnt we dance
And I was sitting on the subway
And the train was pounding to the rails
And your voice was aching through my head
I was waiting for something
I believe my heart should be chained inside
Leaving it to you would be like suicide
Still I wanna get on to you're thousand turning rivers
Sitting on the bridges with the shit in my hand
The noice from the radio makes me understand
The dirt from the city and everything I planned
Makes a hole in your head just to comprehend
And I was sitting on your sidewalk
And the cars flashing through my head
I just wish that rain could fall
'cause I was waiting for something
I believe my heart should be chained inside
Leaving it to you would be like suicide
Still I wanna get on to you're thousand turning rivers
I believe my heart should be chained inside
Leaving it to you would be like suicide
Still I wanna get on to you're thousand turning rivers
And I was sitting on the subway
And the train was pounding to the rails
And your voice was aching through my head
I was waiting for something
I believe my heart should be chained inside
Leaving it to you would be like suicide
Still I wanna get on to you're thousand turning rivers
I believe my heart should be chained inside
Leaving it to you would be like suicide
Still I wanna get on to you're thousand turning rivers
I believe my heart should be chained inside
Leaving it to you would be like suicide
Still I wanna get on to you're thousand turning rivers
I believe my heart should be chained inside
Leaving it to you would be like suicide
Still I wanna get on to you're thousand turning rivers
The lyrics of Slaves's song "Suicide" convey a deep yearning for something. The repeated lines "I was waiting for something" evoke a sense of restlessness and longing, as the singer experiences the world around them, whether it be on the subway or on a sidewalk. The mention of "seven hundred days" and "seven hundred ways" suggest that the singer has experienced a great deal of life, perhaps feeling as if they have tried everything and still have not found what they are looking for.
The chorus of the song, "I believe my heart should be chained inside / Leaving it to you would be like suicide / Still I wanna get on to your thousand turning rivers", suggests that the singer is hesitant to give their heart to someone else, perhaps because they fear getting hurt or losing themselves in the process. However, despite these concerns, they still desire connection ("still I wanna get on to your thousand turning rivers").
The imagery used in the song is gritty and urban, with references to "the dirt from the city" and "sitting on the bridges with the shit in my hand". This creates a stark contrast to the desire for connection and suggests a feeling of being overwhelmed by the world around them.
Overall, "Suicide" is a song that conveys a deep sense of yearning and restlessness, with a narrator who is hesitant to fully give themselves over to another but still desires connection.
