Story Behind the Song
The original concept of this song came from Pat. He said that he was feeling a bit "suffocated" by some things and people at the time. The concept hit home with me and him and I (Justin) pretty much made it ours. (lyrically) The other guys were lending the perfect setting of raw anger and power in the music for us to get across what it was we were thinking.
This is our personal statement to those people that try to hold us down...We won't put up with it and you know who you are. This song describes it perfectly.
Lyrics
SUFFOCATE ME
Date: 8-10-01
Written by: FATE
Slowly you begin.
"Do you miss me?"
Seeking constant relief.
Wounds that worsen with time,
then it hits me...
I can't be what you need.
Push me away.
"Don't you love me?"
I need a way to let go.
Walls closing in all around you
But you don't know.
You don't know.
You can blame me for the way you feel.
Yeah, you can blame me for the way you feel.
I can't. I won't, so don't suffocate me.
(I can't breathe)
You want, you need, you don't
I can't, I won't so don't suffocate me
(I can't breathe)
You want, you need, I don't.
Why can't you see I don't need you?
There's no time for this now.
Different lives come apart.
Thats the answer so now you know,
Now you know...
You can blame me for the way you feel.
Yeah, you can blame me for the way you feel.
I can't, I won't so don't suffocate me.
(I can't breathe)
You want, you need, I don't.
I can't, I won't so don't suffocate me
(I can't breathe)
You want, you need, I don't.
(Breakdown)
I can't, I won't, so don't suffocate me X6
I can't, I won't, so don't suffocate me.
(I can't breathe)
You want, you need, I don't.
I can't, I won't, so don't suffocate me.
(I can't breathe)
You want, you need, I don't.
I can't, I won't, so don't suffocate me.
(I can't breathe)
You want, you need, I don't.
I can't, I won't, so don't suffocate me.
(I can't breathe)
You want, you need, I don't.
I can't, I won't, so don't SUFFOCATE ME!!
End!
