Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verse 1:
You said you’re tired of living life
You don’t see a purpose, don’t see the light
But I’m begging you, please don’t go
Let this be a turning point
Chorus:
Suicide, suicide, don’t you dare
Suicide, suicide, I still care
Suicide, suicide, just hold on
Suicide, suicide, you’re not gone
Verse 2:
I know it’s hard when you’re in the dark
You feel alone, like a broken heart
But I promise you, there’s more to life
Hold on tight, please don’t die
Chorus:
Suicide, suicide, don’t you dare
Suicide, suicide, I still care
Suicide, suicide, just hold on
Suicide, suicide, you’re not gone
Bridge:
You’re worth so much more than you know
You’re loved, you matter, don’t let go
Please don’t give up, please stay alive
Tomorrow’s a new day, please survive
Chorus:
Suicide, suicide, don’t you dare
Suicide, suicide, I still care
Suicide, suicide, just hold on
Suicide, suicide, you’re not gone
The song "Suicide" by States and Empires is a powerful plea to anyone who is considering ending their own life. The song's lyrics speak to the feelings of despair and hopelessness that can lead a person to contemplate suicide. The first verse acknowledges that the person is tired of living life and doesn't see a purpose or the light. The chorus is a plea not to take that final step, to hold on and remember that someone still cares. The second verse acknowledges how hard it can be to reach out for help and how alone a person can feel, but then offers hope that there is more to life. The bridge is a reminder that the person is loved and valued and ends with the plea to stay alive because there is a new day tomorrow.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been feeling doubtful 'bout the way I've been livin'
I am uncertain about the life that I have been leading
I don't know what the point is but it feels like I deserve this
I am unsure of my purpose in life, but I feel like I deserve this pain and suffering
It's the kind of pain that people talk about in songs and stories
This pain is the kind of pain that has been glorified and romanticized in literature and music
I just wanna crash my car at high speeds into a wall
I have an intense desire to end my life in a dramatic and violent way
I don't wanna write no letters, I just wanna end it all
I do not want to leave behind any explanation or farewell, I just want to end my life abruptly
I don't want no intervention, I just wanna end the fall
I do not want anyone to try and stop me, I just want to end the downward spiral of my life
Life's a dirty business, and in the end we all take the fall
Life can be harsh and unfair, and ultimately we all face some form of defeat or failure
So if death is comin' for me, I guess I'll go out on my call
If death is inevitable, I would rather choose to end my own life than let it take me without control
Suicide, suicide, it feels like suicide
The intense emotional pain and desire to end one's life feels like a form of suicide
Suicide, suicide, I'm livin' through a suicide
My current state of mind and emotions feels like a slow form of suicide that I am going through
Suicide, suicide, can y'all hear me crying out?
I am crying out for help, but my pain and need for suicide may not be fully visible or understood by others
