Hanging is the lethal suspension of a person by a ligature. The Oxford English Dictionary states that hanging in this sense is "specifically to put to death by suspension by the neck", though it formerly also referred to crucifixion and death by impalement in which the body would remain "hanging".
Hanging oneself describes a method of suicide in which a person applies a ligature to the neck and brings about unconsciousness and then death, by means of partial suspension or partial weight-bearing on the ligature. This method has been most often used in prisons or other institutions, where full suspension support is difficult to devise. The earliest known use of the word in this sense was in A.D. 1300.
There are four ways of performing a judicial hanging – suspension hanging, the short drop, the standard drop, and the long drop. A mechanised form of hanging, the upright jerker, was also experimented with in the 18th century, with a variant of it used today in Iran.
Suspension, like the short drop, causes death by using the weight of the body to tighten the trachea with the noose. Prisoners are often reported to have little or no struggle before they go limp, because their jugular vein and carotid arteries are blocked and blood flow to the brain is reduced. The Royal Navy formerly hanged mutineers by hoisting them up from the deck of the ship by their necks, using a rope passing over a yardarm.

Breathing in breathing out
I can sit and watch for hours
You're my TV you're my book
Knowing learning when I look
I'm just hanging biding my time
There's no other by my side
I go down and down and down the river rages
And I see you in the morning then your gone
I'm waiting around for the evening til your home
If I could change the way this is I'd stay with you
But if you don't know what I feel now
What can I do
Phone is ringing out my name
The worlds just gonna have to wait
Leave me here so I can dream
I'm more than happy cant you see
I'm just hanging biding my time
There's no other by my side
I go down and down and down the river rages
And I see you in the morning then your gone
I'm waiting around for the evening til your home
If I could change the way this is I'd stay with you
But if you don't know what I feel now
Getting lost in the summer, I hung like the sun in the sky but I stayed up with the moon,
But there's always something that keeps me in tune with the fact it'll all be over soon
The time, that I've been wasting
I'm never wasting my time with you
If this isn't real then you can't tell me it's all been a dream
'Cause I will never wake up,
Take the fall, the winter and spring but I won't let the summer go just yet
We all know by now I'd rather be hot
But you can't appreciate, what you haven't got
So get lost in the summer and hang like the sun in the sky, and stay up with the moon
And don't let that something that takes the fun from your eyes catch up with you too soon
The time that we are wasting
We're never wasting our time with you
If this isn't real then you cant tell me it's all been a dream,
'Cause I will never wake up
I often dream about my sin I often have pain in my head I open my eyes when I want to see you I listen to you I make you talk when I want to hear you I make you shut up It's just a reason to stay unexcited Just a way you can stay cold Just a way you can stay unexpected It's kind of way to stay overdosed I am guilty so I'm going to pay for that
How 'bout a little bit of soul, some integrity.
I'm not talkin' about no fake kinda feeling
But the girl in my dreams will be
For real without a doubt so
I don't know who you are but find your way to me
Uh, in no rush to see
Baby, I'm hanging, hanging on for you
(I'm hanging) That's where it is, go 'bout my business
Hanging, hanging on for you
And you'll be mine in future time
It's true ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
How 'bout we wait a couple years till you do it right
I gotta a little game left
Soon I'mma hang up in a play and share this line
And you can do the same yes
Cause this horizon soon will focus into view, yeah
Uh, in no rush to see
Baby, I'm hanging, hanging on for you
(I'm hanging) That's where it is, go 'bout my business
Hanging, hanging on for you
And you'll be mine in future time
It's true ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
There's no rush, we will touch
And it will be a whole other level girl
Just one kiss, yes this is
The heaven that will conquer the devil's world
Uh, in no rush to see
Baby, I'm hanging, hanging on for you
(I'm hanging) That's where it is, go 'bout my business
Hanging, hanging on for you
And you'll be mine in future time
Hanging, hanging on for you
(I'm hanging) That's where it is, go 'bout my business
Hanging, hanging on for you
And you'll be mine in future time
It's true ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hanging, hanging on for you
(I'm hanging) That's where it is, go 'bout my business
Hanging, hanging on for you
And you'll be mine in future time
Please believe me when I say it's nothingI think you
really should know
All that you say, cuts me
And the blade is getting dull
Before it's all just
A funny memory
Can you give me something to use?
And not another
Story that will never come true
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
All these plans are all I have
And now it's all no good
Well how can you just change your mind
When you know I'm hanging on your words
I'll take all the blame if you change the subject
We're throwing rocks at the stars
It's getting almost perfect
The way we crash in this same old car
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
All these plans are all I have
And now it's all no good
Well how can you just change your mind
When you know I'm hanging on your words
Your words are hardly ever worth the wait
To many times to many days
You got to know it's to late
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
All these plans are all I have
And now it's all no good
Well how can you just change your mind
When you know I'm hanging on your words
