Kim about ‘Suicide’
This song is about greed. How often we want more than we need? And in so many phases of our lives. Always and everywhere: too much sugar, too much pride, too much oil … the list is endless. I fear, greed will defeat us men ever, and there is little hope that this will change someday. (1)

Lyrics
See them all fly, fly so high, higher and high
Watch them burn, the fire is hot, but nobody learns
Who said, “this is what we want to, this is what we
Need to, this is how you have to live”
Just who says, “take what you want to, much more
Than you need to” … suicide
Having it all
Having it all
You better get ready to fall
Having it all is suicide
Enchanted lives, before they get out the knives
Should we forget how to feel, and say
We’re keeping it real, with the devil we deal
A voice inside of you cries “danger“
You know that it’s no stranger, better listen while you can,
‘Cos time is running out, the future is in doubt
You know it’s just suicide
Having it all
Having it all
You better get ready to fall
Having it all is suicide
Watch them fly … Take what you want to
Watch them burn … suicide
Having it all
Having it all
You better get ready to fall
Having it all is suicide
