Let It Kill You

Lyric for those who like to read and listen:

[Verse]

The clock spins fast but the days move slow

A fire burns where the shadows grow

I touched the edge and it cut me deep

But I can't stop

I can't sleep

[Chorus]

Find something you love and let it kill you

Let it break you

Let it thrill you

Let it pull you under

Drown in the blue

Find something you love and let it kill you

[Verse 2]

The mirror cracks when I meet its eyes

Truth tastes bitter but it's sweet in disguise

I chase the rush

I crave the fall

It's heaven's whisper or the devil's call

[Pre chorus]

The tighter I hold

The faster it fades

But I still run into the blade

[Chorus]

Find something you love and let it kill you

Let it break you

Let it thrill you

Let it pull you under

Drown in the blue

Find something you love and let it kill you

[Bridge]

Every breath feels like a dare

Every step

I'm gasping air

But I'd rather burn than fade away

Loving the pain

Dying to stay

[Pre Chorus]

The tighter I hold

The faster it fades

But I still run into the blade

[Chorus]

Find something you love and let it kill you

Let it break you

Let it thrill you

Let it pull you under

Drown in the blue

Find something you love and let it kill you

Let it kill you , let it kill you , Let it kill you

That's a really evocative line Elvis: "Find something you love and let it kill you". That's the one by  Charles Bukowski?

The song is unique, and memorable. I think it's really powerful.

This is one I can imagine being very successful if it was recorded by a well known band.

@ElvisNash - Great song, I like the pre-chorus the most. catchy. the mirror cracking is why I don't look into mirrors.. perpetual 7 years bad luck ;)

I'm confused a little. This is Elvis's lyric right? I absolutely love the simplicity followed by the profound "let it kill you" line. Short, simple country lines are what Suno does best. This one was perfectly and appropriately simple, both for Suno and for the sake of the lyric. I think it's a great lyric, and I think the music is a perfect fit.

Let me add a little to my critique. I think this is a uniquely excellent lyric. I think the music from Suno is good, if somewhat generic country music. But I think this lyric (that I think is not just good, but great) demands and deserves better music than Suno came up with on that try. The music is fine, but it's not good enough (in my opinion) for THIS lyric. This lyric reminds me (in terms of profound meaning) of "Good Old Boys Like Me" written by Bob McDill and recorded by Don Williams. McDill doubted there was any market in country music for the song he had written, saying it was "too smart for country music." Yours is also intellectual enough that it requires, and deserves more than generic music. It might be the best lyric I've seen on this forum. . . and one of the best I can remember in years.
