    Jump by Van Halen when found out that it’s about hanging yourself.

    Well, I still like it but it’s with a double feeling.

      From genius.com : “The original inspiration for the lyrics came from David Lee Roth watching a person on TV who was threatening to commit suicide by jumping off of a building and Roth figured someone in the crowd must be thinking, “Go ahead and jump”. It was, however, not written about suicide – the song is about ‘jumping’ on the opportunity to hook up with someone.”

      Though I can see where you got that.

        The lyric “I jump up and nothing gets me down” jumping off a stool/chair but because of the noose he doesn’t get down.

        But I can see your point.
