About Cardiac Arrest

The narrator of the song uses cardiac arrest as a metaphor for having such strong feelings for someone that it brings a painful sensation in their chest when they kiss or look at them. This also emphasizes that he knows she isn’t good for him—as the song develops, we learn that she doesn’t feel the same way. Originally released as a single in 2013 from their "Transpose" EP and peaking at #15 for US Alternative Songs, “Cardiac Arrest” appears on American alternative rock band Bad Suns‘ debut album "Language & Perspective". .

Cardiac Arrest Lyrics

I've been tryin' to keep my grip
Yeah, I think I'm over this
I can hear it now, oh no, oh no
Yeah, my tongue will let it slip
Why'd I do those things I did?
I can taste it now, oh no, oh no

I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips
I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage when we kiss

My innards turn, your eyes, they roll
I'll be there to take the fall
I can feel it now, oh no, oh no
Same old story since day one
But I've got no place to run
I can see it now, oh no, oh no

I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips
I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage when we kiss

Oh, whoa
High voltage in her lips, they catch me when I slip
Oh, whoa
High voltage in her lips, they catch me when I slip

I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips
I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage when we kiss

Oh, whoa
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips
Oh, whoa
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage when we kiss

I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips
I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
