Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Turn the lights down? I think I lost something)

Ya!

Thrashing…Thrashing…Thrashing…Thrashing…

Mmm, think it over...Mmm, think it over…
Mmm, think it over...Mmm, think I think I think I got

Hey...Hey...Hey...S-S-S-S-S-S-S-Suicyco Mania (Mania-Mania-Mania)

Don’t you talk about Lord and even don’t look out
(Even don’t look out, even)
Don’t you talk about Lord, no, you’re leaving still (Here, it’s for me)
Give me the keys, gonna set you free, going near

Getting closer, when can I see you when you’re together?
Where you going with a (Suicyco Mania) You got that (Suicyco Mania)
Go kill ‘er (Suicyco Mania) I guess that (Suicyco Mania)

Corridor...Same ol’ ten…
It’s coming down...so long...right there with you

Getting into some trouble with me, getting it right up for speed
Don’t have to get ‘em anymore
Taking him into master stains, taking him back to what’s-her-name?
Taking him in from salty rain
Then I caught you decimate, get up what you gotta say
Get up what you gotta dare

Ooh...Ooh...Ooh...Ooh (Suicyco Mania)

Feels just like we’re being in love when I get you to the sky
Silhouettes have been away
Breaking down this whiskey can, taking down, it’s all the same
Getting down, it’s all for me
Peter Piper Pickled Liver, whene’er I go see him surf
We go back into the due
We’re supposed to let you know, feel like what you gotta go
Feel like what was in a soul

Ooh...Ooh...Ooh...Ooh (Suicyco Mania)

No no no (Wah ha ha ha ha ha)
No no no no no no no (Ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Yipe yipe yipe yipe yipe yipe yipe (Ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Guess again, guess again, guess again, guess again

Think I’m a bitch... Think I’m a bitch...
Think I’m a bitch... Think I’m a bitch...
Think I’m a bitch... Think I’m a bitch...
Think I’m a bitch... You got that (Suicyco Mania)

We’re putting in...We’re gonna deal it with your...I’m feeling lonely
The rollers still got that (Suicyco Mania) You got that (Suicyco Mania)
Go sit down (Suicyco Mania) We got that (Suicyco Mania)





If you don’t know, if you don’t know, we never never would

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Suicidal Tendencies's "Suicyco Mania" are difficult to interpret as they seem to be a stream of consciousness ramblings combining random words and phrases. The song opens with an out-of-context phrase "Turn the lights down? I think I lost something" which seems to set the tone for the rest of the song which is characterized by an unpredictable flow of thoughts and images. The repeated phrase "Thrashing…Thrashing…Thrashing…Thrashing…" could be seen as a reference to the band's punk rock roots as well as a nod to the mosh pit culture of their fans. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Suicyco Mania" which seems to be a made-up term that combines the words "suicidal" and "maniac", emphasizing the agitated and unstable state of mind of the singer.


The rest of the song is a juxtaposition of disconnected ideas and impressions, with vague references to religion ("Don’t you talk about Lord and even don’t look out"), violence ("Go kill ‘er"), alcohol ("Breaking down this whiskey can"), and personal relationships ("Feels just like we’re being in love when I get you to the sky"). The lines "Peter Piper Pickled Liver, whene’er I go see him surf / We go back into the due" could be interpreted as a reference to a surfer's lifestyle and the camaraderie that comes with it. Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of restlessness, confusion, and a desire for freedom and self-expression.
