Orianthi - Suffocated Lyrics






In the beginning it was worth this
Do the worst, feel complete
Passing standards others meet
(What we do best)
Now perfect endings make you anxious
Heavy head, a colder sweat
Leaving nothing here, nothing to regret

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

I miss the old days that we murdered
They're so far gone, out of reach
Watch 'em fade with summer's heat
(Well it goes like this)
Without a break from this distraction
I need a change, a different scene
A new approach to coming clean

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

Still searching for a back door out of here
Reassured that old friends will reappear
Why am I still suffocating
Just hold your breathe deep and I'll keep waiting
[x2]

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

    It's actually a cover. The original is from a band called sound the alarm... no guitar riffs but more vocal harmony. I'm not knocking this at all, I love it. But this made it big off of someone else's work minus a tad bit of pop metal doctoring. I just like to give credit where due.

  15. S.... T....

  36. S.... D....

    it's "suffocated" and its in the name!

  37. C.... V....

    My husband brought up a wonderful point. While listening to the original of this song. Suffocated is past tense. The official lyrics if anyone bothered looking is does indeed say 'why am I still SUFFOCATING', it would not be suffocated. 

    Also the original song is titled Suffocating. 

    All you complaining to the person who uploaded this video, she is correct with the lyrics.

    C.... V....

    @Christina VanDoren Yes, you are right -- the originals have suffocating, though, this one doesn't?

    C.... V....

    The original doesn't say Suffocated. The original song was Suffocating by Sound the Alarm. The lyrics are suffocating and Orianthi cannot change it to suffocated. I'm not sure what you aren't grasping.

    You could easily look up the original and it will prove my point. Then again I also know the band, they are local and my mother taught several of them in first grade. I can even tell you how they got discovered - Pen Argyl Battle of the Bands in 2003/2004. Good show. They had another great song Symphony in Red that sadly didn't make it onto their first official CD. Actually lots of their first songs didn't make it other then Count on Me (which was titled Dearly Departed) and this song Suffocating made it on with their other new stuff.

    Great band and I spoke with one of them about Orianthis cover which they stated the lyrics needed to remain the same or she breached the contract and could be sued.

    C.... V....

    @Christina VanDoren My bad, it was a typo.

    C.... V....

    @Scott Ferguson Gotcha. Yeah. Im not sure why the other guy is insistent I am wrong. Its not that hard either to get ahold of some of the band Sound the Alarm. I think Reychew or whoever just wanted to argue. I dont think I could make it any clearer that I knew the original band.

    C.... V....

    Mandela Effect.

  38. S.... ....

    Fucking Comic Sans

    S.... ....

    +v1Buzz (In comic sans) LOL

    S.... ....

    Slipknate This song reminds me of Undertale xD Same with Again by Flyleaf. Reminds me of Glitchtale

  39. d.... g....

    so many wrong lyrics....

  40. O.... P....

    The guitar squel on the chorus isn't at loud

  41. D.... X....

    Remember this song in "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock."

    And I always thought that solo was pretty B.A.

    D.... X....

    OH MY GOD SAMEEE....I still have Warriors of rock for Xbox 360 xD I play this song every time I play XDDDDD

    D.... X....

    +Breanna Babe Same, cant stop playing it

    D.... X....

    I always thought it was to

  42. l.... ....

    Super job on the join of two great ONJ songs with  lovely strings and   acoustics by John Farrer .  

  43. C.... V....

    I like how everyone is all "omg the lyrics are suffocated not suffocating"

    She bought this song off the band Sound the Alarm and the lyrics are originally "Suffocating".


    STA is still the better version then again I'm biased because I saw them where the got discovered (Pen Argyl Battle of the Bands 2003). I even remember when this song had a different title :)

    C.... V....

    Thank you I've been trying to remember the original makers

  44. s.... ....

    2:23 <3

  45. d.... l....

    Can anyone find me a download link to this song please?

  46. M.... ....

    In the lyrics its suffocated not suffocating then she would've called it suffocating.

    M.... ....

    and kid phb wasnt talking about the original... 

    M.... ....

    @reychew those aren't the lyrics and she wasn't allowed the change the lyrics, spoke to the original bands lead singer. Suffocated is past tense and makes zero sense in it. Plus the lyrics I posted are the original straight from Orianthi's lyrics for the song. Stop arguing child because it's no use when you don't have the original owners of the song backing you up. As the lead singer of sound the alarm said the contract is that the lyrics must remain the same, and they did and it is suffocating.

    M.... ....

    Do you all have a lack of ears?

    M.... ....

    @reychew I hear it perfectly fine. Its SUFFOCATING or do you not understand that if she changed the lyrics she can be sued by Sound the Alarm? I have stated before its not past tense and it is suffocating. 

    M.... ....

    @Christina VanDoren As true as that may be, orianthi changed the lyrics and it can clearly be heard as "suffocated" No offence but i don't care about the original lyrics because this isn't the original song. So you may know the original well and i'm more than ok with that but don't be saying the lyrics are one thing when they're not in this particular cover ;)


    Not hating im just stating the facts, in her booklet to the album it says suffocated. She changed them, Don't like it? take it up with orianthi not the youtube comment section please :) (with all due respect that is)
    Have a good one.

  47. k.... b....

    I like the song myself..

  49. K.... S....

    originally by Sound the Alarm. Still like their version better

    K.... S....

    Yes! I was so annoyed when I heard this and it was appropriately labeled a cover...

  50. C.... D....

    I love sing and play this song on the Guitar hero *-*

    C.... D....

    I dont understand how people like ariana grande? sure she can use her voice, but she chooses to use it for crappy pop filler

    C.... D....

    @PBAFan12 true buts its not ur spot to judge

    C.... D....

    @Anastasia Luciano it is to his spot to judge if that girl relies on our ratings to live her rich sucky singer life

    C.... D....

    @Jonathan Taylor okay true but would we like it if we rich and famous to hear all the bad stuff talked about us I don't think so...

    C.... D....

    @Anastasia Luciano​ touche good ma`am

  70. c.... w....

    i'm good at this song until the BITCHING intro solo :)

  71. c.... w....

    i thought i was the only one ...

  72. a.... ....

    a bit of advice if you're still having trouble. as was already said, practice on easier songs first, but also get used to sliding your fingers down one position on the buttons, so your index finger is on red. definitely helped while my stupid self was trying to stretch my pinkie. get used to sliding and changing the neutral position depending on what notes are coming at you.

  73. s.... ....

    Haha, still practicing on Hard. I can't seem to get a hold of the fifth button :P

  74. c.... ....

    because people on Youtube like to argue about religion, regardless of the video

  75. M.... ....

    this song is amazing on guitar hero...

  76. g.... ....

    Whats up with Orianthi? She gets recognition outside of the US. She has a awesome style. Plus anyone who always shows up with their guitar with them is just beast.

  77. m.... v....

    Great singing and that guitar playing gives me chills.. damn:o

  78. S.... S....

    Yeah, I'm religous and I have to agree with you, there could be a religous component, but there's no point in starting a fight over it.

  79. S.... M....

    Yep. I did it on drums...and Microphone XD

  80. C.... C....

    believe me i've tried didn't turn out to well eaither

  81. L.... ....

    Lyrics wrong... Suffocated, not suffocating

  82. C.... ....

    love this song on expert, 97% is my best :D

  83. S.... M....

    Try to do it on Expert XD

  84. T.... W....

    haha same!!

  85. K.... A....

    Same here xD

  86. C.... C....

    Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock Brought me here (: hard as hell though ): it's still an awesome song either way

  87. I.... ....

    Excuse me, but why does this song starts a religious fight? I mean... I don't get the religious part of this song...

  88. o.... ....

    I still don't understand why every yt comment section of a good song turns into one huge religious war... come on guys, we're all humans right?

  89. M.... t....

    I agree. Athiest all the way <3

  90. z.... ....

    so if an aethist said messiah doesnt belong, you wouldnt feel like popping them?

  91. O.... ....

    Yes because lets all be very tolerant and hate everybody who does not believe the same as you do.

  92. Z.... S....

    Oh my GOD I love this song!!!!!

  93. W.... ....

    I actually only found this from playing Guitar Hero Warriors of rock, i'm very pleased I did

  94. B.... C....

    whoa, since when did you have to be religious to listen to a song? crazy wierdos

  95. z.... ....

    if your an douche get the fuck out
