A one two three four, one

A little bit attention

Need some affection

Suicide, suicide, suicide bid
Suicide, suicide, suicide bid
Suicide, hey

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, babe (yeah)
Don't do it, don't do it, don't, do it

Yeah, yeah

Don't put your neck on the line
Don't drown on me babe
Blow your brains out

Don't do that, you got a good thing going baby
Don't do it (no) don't do it (no) don't

Don't try suicide
Nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide
Nobody cares
Don't try suicide
You're just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide
Nobody gives, nobody cares
Nobody gives a damn

OK

    To start off, this song was firmly tounge-in-cheek. The real meaning is seen as a joke. First it says "Don't Try Suicide"...then "Nobody cares." Simply put, if someone said they were going to commit suicide, you wouldn't say "Nobody cares." The song is just a morbid joke, thats why I love it.

    Dark humor at its finest. Never fails to make me smile.

    I always assumed it was a parody of over-simple "inspirational" songs such as "Just Say No", although I think it predates that specific example by some years.

    Hey! I know how we can win the war in Iraq! Fill Baghdad up with speakers, and play a never-ending loop consisting of just this song!

    One of the words is sampled on the song "Yeah" which proceeds to the next track on "Made in Heaven

    I don't know if I know anyone who has ever tried to commit suicide. It makes me sad that someone would feel so hopeless about life. Tomorrow is a new day. If you are someone who has tried suicide or feels suicidal, you need to remember that you have loads of people who love you and give a damn. And that bit about not getting into heaven is SUCH a crock of shit.

    No, not very strait forward at all... It seems to be a relationship of some sort, whether romantic, familial, or just a friendship, but the verses are one member of the relationship, seemingly a male telling the other (presumably female) that [she] should not kill [her]self,"When you do it, all you do is get on my tits" then the chorus brings in a dialogue of some sort, perhaps between the two, but more likely the person considering suicide with themself, [she] hears "Don't try suicide, nobody's worth it" and then within says, "Nobody cares...Nobody Gives a damn"

    Its all about the internal conflict, and how ridiculous it can sometimes be, with such a serious subject the arrangement is almost humorous, as if it were actually satirizing the melodramatic progressive rock bands of the time... my rambling thoughts

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
