Suicide Commando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One Try
Are your sure ?
Do you really want to Die ?
One life One cry
Go away
Your nothing but a lie
And you'll die
In the Head
In the center of the eyes
One Gun
One Try
My God.
Do you really want to die ?
Do you really want to die ?
One death
One Try
Are your sure ?
Do you really want to Die ?
One step
One try
On the edge
Do you really want to try ?
One tempt
One cry
I can't cope
I no longer want this life
One rope
One try
My god.
Do you really want to die ?
Do you really want to die
Do you ?
The lyrics of Suicide Commando's song Cause of Death: Suicide explore the themes of self-harm and suicide, appealing to those who might be considering ending their own lives. The lyrics ask the listener to consider whether they are certain of their decision, exhorting them to take a step back and think before acting. The use of repetition in lines such as "one death, one try, are you sure?" and "one shot and you'll die, in the head, in the center of the eyes" creates a sense of urgency and intensity, while the question "Do you really want to die?" is repeated throughout the song as a plea to the listener to reconsider.
The lyrics also touch on the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness that can lead someone to consider suicide. Lines such as "I can't cope, I no longer want this life" illustrate the despair that can take hold when faced with overwhelming emotional pain. The use of the first person point of view, with lines such as "my god, do you really want to die?" brings a personal element to the lyrics, making it clear that there is someone speaking directly to the listener, urging them to reconsider their decision.
