Nathan Wagner - Suffocate (Cinematic Version)

#nathanwagner #suffocate #cinematic

Hey everyone! Here's a new recording of "Suffocate"! I feel this version is a lot clearer and hopefully you like it better! Initially, I had labeled this song "Power Poison." It was about the idea of "Power without character is poison." As a young person, I was so attracted to the idea of fame. As I've grown, I could not be more grateful that my career didn't blow up overnight when I was 18. The larger the influence, the larger the wake you leave. If the 18 year old version of my self had blown up, I'm positive that wake would've been so full of devastation and hurt. I don't want power/money/fame if I don't have the character to make good of it. So grateful to each and everyone of you. Never thought anyone would ever care to listen. You'll never know how much it means to me that you'd even give me a moment of your time. Hope you like the track :)

Lyrics
If I were a king I'd probably dream
Of bringing peace into the world
Noble deeds, heroic things
Until I'd seen the shining pearls
And all of the greed stored underneath
Could go and leak at anytime
I want him dead, they bring his head
An impulse ruins all their lives

I could be wise most of the time
But just one slip up makes them starve
And all this chaos makes its way
As I'm here feasting on their farms
The problem ain't they're never good
The problem's power taints the mind
A heart of gold will turn to stone
The throne's where good men go to die

Hold on to me, don't give up on me
If I start to sink would you reach for me?
I get so afraid, break down suffocate
Would you help me breathe?
Help me breathe

If I were to gain all of this world
Don't let them take away my soul
Don't want the arrogance, the ignorance
This selfishness I hold
Instant access is a flame
That I don’t think I can control
Don't let this ember enter in
If I’m not worthy of its load

Don't wanna hurt the ones I love
Don’t wanna let everyone down
I try so hard but I slip up
Lose my grip, fall on the ground
The problem ain’t they’re never good
The problem's power taints the mind
Don't let this heart turn into stone
Don't let these lights burn me alive

Hold on to me, don't give up on me
If I start to sink would you reach for me?
I get so afraid, break down suffocate
Would you help me breathe?
Help me breathe

Don't let me suffocate
In luxury

"The throne's where good men go to die"
Dang, nathan. Dang.

Yet another GOAT outshined by "artists" that don't even write their own songs, such a world we live in... Paranoia is your first song I heard and instantly fell in love with your music, keep making great music man 😁

[afkdd]

[squishy]

[Mouadh_Ktari]

my best singer since 2020
such a voice mixed with flare
such a word evolved by blaze
such a masterpiece created in coldest flame🥶

There was an earthquake in Turkey, I seek solace in his songs and try to calm down. Fortunately, the songs are offering their best wishes, thank you. I hope my country will be saved. 🎗️🖤

[breenarnianwarhorse]

Ummm, this is an INCREDIBLE song. 😮 Really can hear the struggle of kings like David, and the poison of a throne. Wow.

I just cried. Nostalgia quickly kicked in. This is one of my top songs from you, Nathan. It's just amazing and so raw and genuine. You never cease to amaze me, thanks for making a cinematic version of it. I'm so excited to see your next videos. Thank you for the inspiration always! Bless you. 🤍🤍🤍🥺🥺

Freaking love this song. Your music is so good for writing. It's my main character's coronation, and I'm listening to this song on repeat as I type the chapter.

[EllCShan]

Always feel like suffocate to be your most powerful song next to "lonely". I like both of these versions do I feel like this one message more clear. I love this version it's so great. can't wait for your new album.

[albertshadow]

No words to describe what I felt watching this for first time, just, from another world.

[FlyingMelodys]

This song is beautiful, powerful, and full of meaning. I feel nowadays songs with deeper meanings tend to get lost in the vast endless void of music that is created and published without a second thought. Glad there are still those who value songs that speaks about meanings deeper then material items. Keep up the good work man, love your work.

[lightyagami]

To be honest, I am in love with your art. I will be 18 years old in 1 month. I listened to every song you released. I listening to you for over 3 years. And in this process, You inspired me more than anyone I know. You made me discover myself. And even maybe that's why I am who I am thanks to you. Keep on writing, singing, and composing. Your work is worth gold to me.

vocal clarity went so well here, i just shut my eyes and the sound was so good

[SparrowsxArts]

Suffocate was the first song I ever listened to from you and it instantly became my favorite song. Hearing this cinematic version honestly made my day. This song truly is amazing! A masterpiece!

[ScythLabs]

Jesus Christ, I've had this in my music playlist for a while but this is the first time I listened to it and actually HEARD it, my *GAWD* this sounds powerful

[meaganmitchell]

You brought me to tears again sir, thank you so much

[aige]
