Hey
Suicide Machines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey! What's goin' on?
Hey! What went wrong?
Hey! I don't know why?
Hey! I might as well try! Buy

Well, I looked around this crazy place and tried to make some sense of it?
Robbed a bank and stole a car and tried to put some dents in it
AND everybody is playing games
I don't know what to make of it
Don't play your stupid games you know I don't need all that fucked up shit

No one ever told me I was gonna get older
Turned 21 and I thought my life was over
Took a long time to get where I am now
And I'm not gonna sit around wondering how, no!

Well I listen to your fuckin' shit I can't make any sense of it
'Cause what goes in does not come out, you've gotta put two cents in it
You're just a blob of fuckin' jell you're brain is floating in space
And if your brain was worth a quarter I'd get twenty-six cents back in change!

No one told me that the grass would be greener
I've done a lot of things since the last time that I seen her
No one ever told me it would be this way
That's why you can't make any sense out of anything I say!

My world is crumbling and I don't know what to do
It's falling down around me 'cause I'm thinking of you
If we take a look at our world today
Are our morals on decline or have we all gone insane?

Hey! What's goin' on?
Hey! What went wrong?




Hey! I don't know why?
Hey! I might as well try!

The singer also feels very alone, as he believes that nobody else understands or cares about him. He questions his own mortality and the inevitability of getting older, but decides to "try" anyway.
