Unanswered
Suicide Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And put your beliefs to shame
Before you prove yourself
And end this life?
End this life
And I'll say a fucking prayer
Where is your god?
Where is your god?
Where is your fucking god?
And even if I don't believe you
I pray for the day
I pray for the day
That you end this life
So please take me away
I want the hand of god
To come and strike me down
I want the hand of god
To come and strike me down
Where is your god?
Where is your god?
Where is your fucking god?
For all the prayers that go unanswered
For all the prayers that go unanswered
Why do you think that is?
For the families that waste their time
Open your eyes
And all your prayers will go unanswered
Why do you think that is?
For the families that waste their time
Open your fucking eyes
The lyrics to Suicide Silence’s song Unanswered are provocative and controversial, questioning the existence of God, and the futility of prayer. The song begins with a statement expressing an intense anger towards the concept of God and the beliefs that others hold, and proceeds to question why God isn't present to end the difficult life the singer is contemplating. The frustration and pain expressed by the singer is heightened by their belief that their prayers will not be answered, as they express in the lines “And I'll say a fucking prayer / Because I know it won't be answered.”
As the song progresses, the anger expressed is even more intense, as the singer directly challenges the existence of God, questioning “Where is your god?” repeatedly. The lyrics then go on to explore the ways in which prayer is futile, arguing that “all the prayers that go unanswered” represent a waste of time for families who are struggling. Ultimately, the lyrics of this song express a deep sense of desperation and anger, as the singer seeks to understand the meaning of life and the reasons why they are suffering without any answers.
Overall, the song’s controversial and emotive lyrics make it a topic of much discussion and debate within the metal community, and its message continues to resonate with fans of the genre today.
