Suicyco Muthafucka
Suicidal Tendencies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There goes a little fucked up piece of my brain
Didn't need it anyhow, didn't use it anyhow no way!
My minds been soakin' up so much shit...
now it's cured not like healthy
But cured like marinated dried out fuckin piece of meat
Suicyco muthafucka, suicyco muthafucka
Suicyco muthafucka, suicyco muthafucka
Said if you ain't suicidal, you ain't shit
Snap crackle pop it just stopped being funny
Don't know what was said
But don't know if I like it
There's always something funny that just ain't funny
I ain't no muthafucker, never had one never really wanted one
But that don't mean your daughter's safe
Guess that makes me a daughter fucker
Running through a place I swear I'd never go smash it wow
Never know it could be so much fun,
I remember it now
I remember it now, just like it never was
There's always something funny that just ain't funny
Suicyco muthafucka, suicyco muthafucka
Don't take no shit from no one
Suicyco muthafucka, suicyco muthafucka
I'm suicidal for life
I got to think in a different way
The old way got me nowhere
The new way got me somewhere
But nowhere where I wanted to go or where I belong
I gotta go back to the old way
I tired of people looking at me funny
Not knowing who was in control and who wasn't
Yea I'm not and that's why I'm in control!
Yea fuck it up, fuck it up again,
makes things a hell of a lot simpler
Suicyco muthafucka
The lyrics of Suicidal Tendencies' song "Suicyco Muthafucka" seem to be exploring themes of mental illness, self-destructive behavior, and being an outsider. The first stanza, "Tippy toe through broken dreams, there goes a little fucked up piece of my brain, didn't need it anyhow, didn't use it anyhow no way, my mind's been soakin' up so much shit... now it's cured not like healthy but cured like marinated dried out fuckin piece of meat," suggests a struggle with mental illness and a sense of detachment from one's own mind. The singer seems to be saying that they've lost a part of their mind but it doesn't matter because it wasn't useful anyway, and now they feel cured in a way that's not healthy, like a piece of meat that's been marinated or dried out.
The chorus, "Suicyco muthafucka, suicyco muthafucka, don't take no shit from no one, said if you ain't suicidal, you ain't shit," seems to be reclaiming and embracing the label "suicidal" as a form of empowerment. The singer is saying that they won't take any shit from anyone, and that if you're not suicidal like they are, you're not worth anything. This could be interpreted as a way of asserting control over one's own life, even if it means being self-destructive.
The second stanza, "Snap crackle pop it just stopped being funny, don't know what was said but don't know if I like it, there's always something funny that just ain't funny, I ain't no muthafucker, never had one never really wanted one but that don't mean your daughter's safe, guess that makes me a daughter fucker," seems to be exploring themes of violence and aggression. The singer is saying that something that was once funny has stopped being so, and they don't know if they like it. They also assert that they're not a "muthafucker" (a term that could refer to someone who engages in sexual promiscuity), but then threaten someone's daughter. This could be interpreted as a way of asserting dominance or control over others, even if it means resorting to violence.
Overall, the lyrics to "Suicyco Muthafucka" are complex and explore themes of mental illness, self-destructive behavior, and aggression. The song seems to be empowering in its own way, but it also raises difficult questions about what it means to be suicidal and how to cope with mental illness and other challenges in life.
Line by Line Meaning
Tippy toe through broken dreams
Walking carefully through shattered hopes and aspirations
There goes a little fucked up piece of my brain
A portion of my unstable, distressed mind is slipping away
Didn't need it anyhow, didn't use it anyhow no way!
It was useless and unnecessary, never put to good use
My minds been soakin' up so much shit...
now it's cured not like healthy
But cured like marinated dried out fuckin piece of meat
My mind has accumulated too much negativity and now it's no longer healthy. Instead, it's been soaked and dried out like preserved meat.
Suicyco muthafucka, suicyco muthafucka
Don't take no shit from no one
Suicyco muthafucka, suicyco muthafucka
Said if you ain't suicidal, you ain't shit
An aggressive declaration of suicidal intentions and the refusal to be mistreated by anyone. Only those who share similar desires are worthy.
Snap crackle pop it just stopped being funny
Don't know what was said
But don't know if I like it
There's always something funny that just ain't funny
Jokes have gone too far and have lost their humor. Unsure of what was said, and questioning if it's even worth liking. The situation is uncomfortably laughable.
I ain't no muthafucker, never had one never really wanted one
But that don't mean your daughter's safe
Guess that makes me a daughter fucker
Refuting being a motherfucker, but implying that someone's daughter may not be safe with him around; revealing a twisted mindset of abuse.
Running through a place I swear I'd never go smash it wow
Never know it could be so much fun,
I remember it now
I remember it now, just like it never was
There's always something funny that just ain't funny
Engaging in reckless behavior and enjoying it, even though it's unexpected. A memory resurfaces, although it feels surreal and disregarded as insignificant. A recurring theme of finding things amusing that are not.
Suicyco muthafucka, suicyco muthafucka
Don't take no shit from no one
Suicyco muthafucka, suicyco muthafucka
I'm suicidal for life
Repeatedly emphasizing the desire to be suicidal and refusing to tolerate any nonsense from anyone. A declaration that this mindset will never disappear.
I got to think in a different way
The old way got me nowhere
The new way got me somewhere
But nowhere where I wanted to go or where I belong
I gotta go back to the old way
Trying a new approach but realizing it's just as unproductive as the old way. Feeling lost and out of place, concluding that reverting to old habits may be the only way forward.
I tired of people looking at me funny
Not knowing who was in control and who wasn't
Yea I'm not and that's why I'm in control!
Yea fuck it up, fuck it up again,
makes things a hell of a lot simpler
Suicyco muthafucka
Fed up with being judged and uncertain of power dynamics. Embracing the chaos and rejecting societal norms that stress order and control. Destroying and starting anew, as a symbol of being in control. Repeatedly emphasizing the desire for suicide and destruction.

Yep, it was summer of 94….I saw it in Chicago! I was 14—best introduction to metal shows. Been hooked since. They opened with “You can’t bring me down”.
