Suicide is painless
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see that...
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say...
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger
Watch it grin...
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
"Is it to be or not to be?"
And I replied, "Oh why ask me?"
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
And you can do the same thing if you please
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see that...
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say...
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger
Watch it grin...
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
"Is it to be or not to be?"
And I replied, "Oh why ask me?"
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
And you can do the same thing if you please

no-ones really even gonna see this comment after so long but i wanted to put my word out ther
If you take your own life thats like doing something that ur God is only able to do, so by saying "I can take it or leave it if I please..." is the same as saying God isn't real, I'm in control of my life not some God that doesn't exist.
Considering my growing disbelief in all things religious, I think its a very powerful song.
Thinking of suicide is a painless act as in, you don't care is you die, but the people around who you thought didn't care about are forever jilted by ur selfishness and as such it brings about many changes.
As for M*A*S*H, I never bothered to watch it... But each to their own eh? :)
Don't know what the heck xxincognitoxx is talking about...
meaningful because suicide is a vering meaningful thing...
wow
You got it buddy. I'm glad my brain is in my brain and mansons is in my brain and nietzches brain is a brain inside a brain too. Keep up the intellectual thoughts. Regardless how the song originated its message is jacked up. There is nothing happy about suicide...its a selfish way of giving up on life. Life isnt supposed to be easy we have to fight for our peace. Suicide doesnt bring on many changes it brings on one change and thats stepping off into eternity...(which could be worse)
I am, however, familiar with 20th century existensialists such as Sartre and Camus. Camus wrote an essay on this subject, it is called "The Myth of Sysyphus". Personal choice is a main emphasis. The first lines of the essay reads: "There is but one truly serious philisophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the funamental question of philosophy."
"Through early morning fog I see visions of the things to be"
Great line, but maybe that is my small, insignificant brain speaking....
this song is good but manic street preachers is the best cover of this.
