Suffocate

About Suffocate

"Suffocate" is a track by UK rock band Feeder re-recorded from their 1997 album Polythene, and was released as an in-between single to bridge the gap between the then-current album, and its follow-up Yesterday Went Too Soon. Feeder would later repeat this in-between single process building up to a following album, with "Just a Day" in 2001 and "Shatter" / "Tender" in 2005. The single reached the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 37. The version of "Suffocate" released as a single is a full-band version of the acoustic track from the "Polythene" album, with slightly amended lyrics. The song began life in 1994 as part of the band's demo under the name "Give". At that time the band were called "Real". At the time of its single release, Grant Nicholas said that he wanted to revisit the song. Frontman Grant also once said that "Give" was the song that secured the band's record deal, which in turn was one of the reasons for its inclusion on The Singles. more »

Show it to me one way 
I've got to see it all
Scientific radar
Reaching through the storm
There's got to be hope
As people move on
We've got to keep on believing

It's time to give it everything 
A world unite let us in
Hear me cry
Suffocate, let them die
A better life, say goodbye, hear me cry

I see everything silver and gold
Way up I'm reaching out
Clouds white as snow
There's got to be hope
As people move on
We've got to keep on believing

It's time to give it everything 
A world unite let us in
Hear me cry
Suffocate, let them die
A better life, say goodbye, hear me cry

Hear me cry
Why don't you hear me
Why don't they hear me
Suffocate
Let them die
A better life to say goodbye
Give, give enough I care
