Radio Suicide
Echoes of Suburban Desires: Radio Suicide Serenade
Lyrics
Two silhouettes stand tall against
Two figures standing prominently against
A gray November sky
An overcast sky in November
Utopian suburban teenage wasteland blues.
Describing an idealized suburban teenage wasteland with blues
You turn to me and sigh, the boredom
You look at me and express boredom
Growin' in your eyes
Boredom growing in your eyes
As a voice sings songs of splendor
A voice on the radio singing splendid songs
From the radio
The voice creates an image of utopia
I hear that voice again submerging
Hearing the captivating voice again, submerging from the stereo
From the stereo
The voice is submerged in the stereo
Invisible electric life flows
Invisible electric life flows through the speaker
Right through me
The electric current passes through the listener
Then for a moment I forget about
For a moment, forgetting the current situation
Just where I'm at and the world fallin'
World falling apart loses all urgency
Around looses al urgency.
Just another transmission from a desired place
It's just another transmission from
The control exerted by the transmission
A place we all want to be.
A place everyone wants to be
It takes control then its spits
The transmission takes control and then abruptly returns to reality
Me back to reality
The harsh awakening to reality
I hear the music
Hearing the music
Then I close my eyes
Closing eyes to escape reality
It's just another radio suicide on
Another instance of succumbing to the allure of radio suicide on the airwaves
The airwaves.
Reference to the phenomenon of radio suicide
I turned it on-invisible electric life
Switching it on, invisible electric life emanates
then the song comes on the radio
The song starts playing on the radio
The signal takes control-heartbeat
The signal takes control, heartbeat slowing down
Starts to slow
Sensations and emotions influenced by the song
You hear the words reverberating
Hearing the lyrics echoing in the mind
In your mind
Distorted electric waves emanate from the stereo
Twisted electric waves pulse from the stereo
A voice loudly proclaiming that everything is not alright
As a vioce screams out loud
The intense moment in the song
Everything is not alright
An explicit statement that everything is not okay
Forget about the static pulsing
Ignoring the interference or disturbances in the ear
In your ear
Encouragement to forget everything seen and heard
Forget everything you see and hear
Another occurrence of radio suicide
it's just another radio suicide
It's just another instance of succumbing to the allure of radio suicide
