What do you think of them, can someone decipher the meaning of Sound Of Madness and Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide, the part i want to understand is White, Lights, TRAIN, Wreck, like what does he mean??

Thanks To: WHShinedown17

Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide:
She's a still frame of suicide they say,
Cyanide in her plastic veins
She's a mannequin of misery,
She's on a bender,
But she ain't gonna break.
Hey, Hey.

Taste like sugar, but it's novacaine.
______
White lights,
Train wreck.

____
(Paralyzed? Pale Eyes?)
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
She's a killer,
She is mine,
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.

____ cerebellum feeds the brain,
Hurricane and the violent rain/rage.
They say,
She's a looker just like Anna Nicole.
Oh no.
Fuck the silver,
Let's go straight for the gold.

Digging deeper than a six foot hole,
She's snorting cocaine through a suicide note.
White light.
Train wreck.

____
(Paralyzed?)
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
She's a killer,
She is mine,
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.

White lights.
Train wreck.

____
(Paralyzed?)
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
She's a killer,
My my(?)
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.

____
(Paralyzed?)
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide.
She's a zero,
One in five(?)
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide


Sound of Madness:
Yeah, I get it,
You're an outcast.
Always under attack.
Always coming in last,
Bringing up the past.
No one owes you anything.
I think you need a shotgun blast,
A kick the ass,
So paranoid. . .
Watch your back!!

Oh my, here we go...
_______
___ couldn't get much lower.
Quicksand's got no sense of humor.
I'm still laughing like hell.
You think that (cryin to me?),
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Can't take your medicine.

I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight?

I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality,
If there's an afterlife,
It'll set you free.

As for what he means, I'm terrible at that sorta thing. I had to hear them live to figure out what like half of the songs we've already got mean.

"the part i want to understand is White, Lights, TRAIN, Wreck, like what does he mean??"

wanna understand "white lights, train wreck"?

step 1: place yourself in a near death situation. for example, stand in the middle of the freeway directly in the path of a speeding semi truck. (it is very important that you remember this feeling).

step 2: find a very potent drug, the choice is yours, use this drug until every drop of blood in your veins, every cell in your brain, is completely saturated with the chemical. continue to use this drug until it has consumed everything in your life, then use even more. when you've reached this point, you will again remember that moment you were standing on the freeway...only this time you will experience the impact and you will feel the full aftermath, that is, if you survive.

that's my take on it anyway.
have an awesome day! Big Grin
peace.

Let me help to talk you the wrong way off the ledge,
Let me help you hold the glock against your head..."

This song was written a bout a personal friend of the band. Where you have "paralyzed" in parenthesis it is indeed "pale eyes".

I'd offer more but I'm not Smiler

Puzzled and amused
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it.
Right in two.
