GREEN
Suicide Machines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't understand your problems, 'cause you got too many of them
It's hard to relate to you, well

We've been told that the grass is always greener on the other side,
The other side, oh yeah, but that doesn't mean we should stop
What we're doing on the outside, the outside - OUTSIDE! Buy

We all know that everything changes, this always seems better than the other
Gotta keep my mind focused on right now
I can't take my eye off thinking 'bout how

Well I don't understand your reasoning,
'Cause you know that it really doesn't make any sense to me, well

We've been told that the grass is always greener on the other side,
The other side, oh yeah, but that doesn't mean we should stop
What we're doing on the outside, the outside - OUTSIDE!

We all know that everything changes, this always seems better than the other
Gotta keep my mind focused on right now
I can't take my eye off thinking 'bout how

You know I'd never say these things to you if they didn't mean something to me
You know I'd never try to get in your head,
Try to make you believe what I want you to see, yeah,
They told me that everything changes, well yeah,
Just remember that everything changes

I'm just a casual observer
I'm always just taking it in, I watch the world go by, well

We've been told that the grass is always greener on the other side,
The other side, oh yeah, but that doesn't mean we should stop
What we're doing on the outside, the outside, outside!

We all know that everything changes, this always seems better than the other
Gotta keep my mind focused on right now
I can't take my eye off thinking 'bout how

We all know that everything changes, this always seems better than the other




Gotta keep my mind focused on right now
I can't take my eye off thinking 'bout how

Overall Meaning

The Suicide Machines’ “Green” is a song that seems to be a commentary on the human tendency to always see the other side as being better. The lyrics seem to suggest that the grass is not actually always greener on the other side and that we should focus on being present in the current moment rather than constantly looking for something better. The song opens with the singer saying that they don’t understand someone’s problems because they have too many of them. This seems to be a comment on how we often create our own problems by always seeing the other side as being better and constantly striving for something more.


The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the grass is always greener on the other side, but this doesn’t mean that we should stop what we’re doing on the outside. This seems to be the singer’s way of saying that while it’s important to appreciate what we have, we should also keep striving for something better. The second verse is similar to the first in that the singer comments on not understanding someone’s reasoning. They then repeat the idea that everything changes and we should focus on being present in the current moment.
