I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself

Song byElton John
in AlbumHonky Chateau

I'm getting bored

Being part of mankind

There's not a lot to do no more

This race is a waste of time

People rushing everywhere

Swarming around like flies

Think I'll buy a forty four

Give them all a surprise

Think I'm gonna kill myself

Cause a little suicide

Stick around for a couple of days

What a scandal if I died

Yeah I'm gonna kill myself

Get a little headline news

I'd like to see what the papers say

On the state of teenage blues

A rift in my family

I can't use the car

I gotta be in by ten o'clock

Who do they think they are

I'd make an exception

If you want to save my life

Brigitte Bardot gotta come

And see me every night

About this Song

I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself by Elton John is a satirical and somewhat darkly humorous take on teenage angst and the tendency to dramatize emotions. The song portrays a young person's exaggerated reaction to feelings of neglect and misunderstanding. Key themes include existential despair, a craving for attention, and a satirical look at youthful melodrama. A particularly poignant moment is the chorus where the dramatic declaration of intent to kill oneself is juxtaposed with a jaunty, upbeat musical arrangement, highlighting the absurdity of the dramatized emotions.
