Is this song advocating suicide?
My friend just played me some of the new Metallica on iTunes, and one song really, really bothered me, and I don't know if I might have misheard the lyrics, or misunderstood what the song was trying to say. Is the song Cyanide (track #6) advocating suicide? If so that is really, really, really irresponsible and it makes me really angry to see any musical artist do such a thing!

These are the lyrics:
Sleep, and dream of this
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Come believe me!
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, won't you call your name?
Oh, call your name!
Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Wait, wait patiently
Your death-black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading on me
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name!
Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Say, is that rain or are they tears?
That stained your concrete face for years
Crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life
A narrow freshly broken ground
A concrete angel laid right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It's peace at last
Oh, peace at last
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name
Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Forevermore!
Forevermore!
It's the funeral I've been waiting for

It sounds to me like he's talking about being dead inside, and suicide is just the funeral, its not really killing him, b/c he was already dead to begin with.
I'm not totally sure, but thats what it sounds like to me.
Best of luck, I would hope he's not promoting suicide, thats no good.
