Song lyrics
Help me if you can 
It's just that this is not the way I'm wired so could you please 
Help me understand why 
You give in to all these reckless dark desires, you're 

Lying to yourself again, suicidal imbecile 
Think about it, put it on a faultline 
What'll it take to get it through to you, precious? 
No one asks, why do you wanna throw it away like this 
Such a mess, I don't wanna watch you 
Disconnect and self-destruct one bullet at a time 
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die 

Medicated 
Drama queen 
Picture-perfect nonbelligerence 
Narcissistic 
Drama queen 
Craving fame and all this decadence 

Lying through your teeth again, suicidal imbecile 
Think about it, put it on a faultline 
What'll it take to get it through to you, precious? 
No one asks, why do you wanna throw it away like this 
Such a mess, I don't wanna watch you 
Disconnect and self-destruct one bullet at a time 
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die 

Lying to my face again, suicidal imbecile 
Think about it, put it on a faultline 
What'll it take to get it through to you, precious? 
No one asks, why do you wanna throw it away like this 
Such a mess, no one else, no one else 

Disconnect and self-destruct one bullet at a time 
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die 
If you choose to pull the trigger 
Should your drama prove sincere 
Do it somewhere far away from here

I love how Maynard can portray such a message without being so... consoling and sappy as most anti-suicide songs are...

He somehow manages to keep that somewhat selfish attitude that I love so much...

am I the only one who doesnt think it's suicide prevention...? Regardless, it is great, but I think it's a personal message and I read that an estranged friend of the band/Maynard killed himself shortly after the release of this song.

I'd have to say that, yes, this is an Anti-Suicide song. It's a rather.. err.. blunt one, but its wonderfull all the same ^^

Love the way he sits there and calls whoever he's singing to an Idiot, I agree with him.

You're blatanly wrong about the meaning of the song. It's not anti-suicide persay. (I heard Maynard say what it's about in an interview, so I know I'm righ) What it's about is the people who don't understand those who want to die. It is a criticism of those who criticize the suicidal, rather than help them. The video? No director could understand maynard's vision, so he said screw it and get the bikini bandits

It's about suicide, yeah...I dunno about suicide prevention...it does seem very personal.

Maynard's talking to someone who doesn't have terrible, life threatening problems. Using threats of suicide and violence to garner attention. I'm not saying he didn't have a friend die, I'm saying that in Maynard's mind this person had to reason to be this way.

Just focus on the followin lyrics:

"What'll it take to get it through to you, precious?
No one asks, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, I don't wanna watch you
Disconnect and self-destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
Medicated
Drama queen
Picture-perfect nonbelligerence
Narcissistic
Drama queen
Craving fame and all this decadence"

and then

"Disconnect and self-destruct one bullet at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger
Should your drama prove sincere
Do it somewhere far away from here"

Anyway. That's what I see.
