Suicide and Mania
Dark Descent: Battling Inner Demons in Primal Fear's 'Suicide and Mania'
Lyrics
I see their faces
I perceive the faces of those pursuing me
They're hunting me
They are actively chasing me
It's like a bullet
It feels like a projectile flying above me
Flying over me
Describing the intensity of the situation
Despite the time they waste on me
Despite the time invested in me
There's no way out, no breaking free
There is no escape, no liberation
I chase the shadow on the wall
I pursue a fleeting, elusive image on the wall
I am a prisoner of myself
I am confined within my own self
Just look at me
A plea for others to observe the speaker's condition
No doctor, no healing
Without medical help, no recovery
There's only disbelieving
There is only skepticism and lack of belief
The naked truth, no fantasy
Emphasizing harsh reality without embellishment
No doctor, no healing
No healing without medical intervention
The poison gas I'm breathing
Describing a toxic environment affecting the speaker
No other choice, than suicide and mania
Expressing a sense of hopelessness, contemplating extreme measures
Too many changes
Numerous changes have deeply affected the speaker emotionally
Have ripped out my heart
Referring to a profound emotional impact
Edge of insanity
The brink of losing sanity
I am the evil part
Acknowledging a darker aspect within
This must be real no fantasy
Insisting on the reality of the situation
They're watching and destroying me
Observers are watching and causing harm
I'll crash my car against a wall
Contemplating a self-destructive act
A silent scream, a final call
A desperate cry for help or recognition
A funeral march
Symbolizing a solemn and tragic event
No doctor, no healing
Reiterating the absence of medical assistance
There's only disbelieving
A pervasive disbelief in the possibility of healing
The naked truth, no fantasy
Emphasizing stark truth without embellishment
No doctor, no healing
Reaffirming the absence of healing
The poison gas I'm breathing
Describing a poisonous atmosphere affecting the speaker
No other choice, than suicide and mania
Presenting extreme choices: suicide or madness
