Mental Suicide
When Came April Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS GAME
I DON'T KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME
TELL ME IF YOU CAN SEE THE SENSE

A SHORT TIME YOU'RE ALRIGHT
THE NEXT ONE WANNA FIGHT
FALLING AND BEATEN DOWN AGAIN
IS THIS ALL
FINDING ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS
IS THIS LIFE
A CENTURY OF SERVING DESTINY

ANOTHER TASK WAITS FOR YOU
WHATEVER YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
YOU WON'T EVER HAVE
ENOUGH TIME IN YOUR LIFE

IT IS A TWIST OF FATE
IT'S SURE LIFE WILL NOT WAIT
AND ENDS BEFORE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

TO ME IT'S SO BOTTOMLESS
I HOPE, I WANNA GUESS
THERE'S SOMETHING WORTH TO BE ON EARTH

AN ANGEL'S BROKEN WING
I'M WONDERING WHEN WILL
THE NEXT ONE HIT THE GROUND
OF MY REALITY

PROSPERITY AND PAIN,
THEY SEEM TO BE SO NEAR
MAYBE I'M STRONGER WHEN
BOTH OF MY HANDS ARE BOUND





I WONDER, I WONDER IF..., I WONDER...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mental Suicide by When Came April present the listener with the struggle faced by the human mind when trying to navigate through the complexities of life. The singer is grappling with the idea of how life is this game where you can’t always understand the rules, and it can be hard to determine who or what is to blame for your struggles. They ask if anyone can “see the sense” of it all, which is a thought that many people have probably had at some point in their lives.


The song goes on to describe how life seems to be this never-ending cycle of ups and downs. One day you’re doing well and the next, everything comes crashing down. The singer is wrestling with the idea that while life can be tough, there must be some purpose to it all. They express this through the line “there’s something worth to be on earth.” This search for meaning is something that many people can relate to and is a common theme in many songs.


The song concludes with the idea that maybe the key to making it through life is to embrace both prosperity and pain. Both experiences serve to make us stronger, and maybe we can find some solace in the fact that we are not alone in our struggles. Mental Suicide is a deep and introspective song that speaks to the human condition and the ever-present question of what it all means.
