Matt Talbott (singer, lyricist, rhythm guitarist) explained at a concert once that this song is about taking a nap on the couch with his woman. He and his woman have insomnia, and this song recalls them both sleeping on the couch together on a Sunday afternoon.
Suicide Machine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sleep comes to everyone
While we wait for the Sunday afternoons
Sleep comes to everyone
Everyone, baby, yeah
But you
[Verse 2]
Sleep comes to everyone
While we wait, wide awake and blue
Sleep comes to everyone
Everyone, baby, yeah
But me and you
[Chorus]
And so I give myself away
To everybody every day
And so I give myself to you
And you need it more than I do
[Chorus]
And so I give myself away
To everybody every day
And so I give myself to you
And you need it more than I do
[Verse 3]
Sleep comes to everyone
While we wait for the Sunday afternoons
And sleep comes to everyone
Everyone, baby, yeah
But you
[Verse 4]
And I had this one figured out
That's why the suicide machine is built for two
A simple, sick device devised to overload on love
To bring us colored dreams and soundtracked waves of fun
[Chorus]
And so I give myself away
To everybody every day
And so I give myself to you
And you need it more than I do
[Chorus]
And so I give myself away
To everybody every day
And so I give myself to you
And you need it more than I do
[Verse 5]
Sleep comes to no one else
Like we have, falling through the ground
Fulfilling promises of endless summer nights
I'm losing ground, you're losing sound
[Verse 6]
Somewhere through a thousand blues
A dragonfly descends with just a whisper
I'm lonelier than God
And all my wishes spin the fishes in the air
And everyone a different shade of you
[Verse 7]
And to the left where up is down
Now stands a zebra made of shapes of me and silver and the sun
So bring no guilt with you up above the flatline
Let's just hit the sky, exploding into one
