Heroine

the truth is that the mediterranean sterotype of epicedium (death song that accompanies the dead to his journey) talks a lot about the sea and the boat that's come to take the dead person. it also mentions leaving the loved ones behind. i'm not sure who wrote the lyrics to it but it deffinitely has an italian death air to it...

oh, and then there's the repetition of: takes the sea, takes the trip... it even has the epicedium rythm to it...

I think this song's about a close friend who took an overdose and died. Leaving people who cared about him behind, feeling alone.

but of course i might be interpreting it totally wrong. it's just an idea.

It's obviously about a friend committing suicide.

when i saw them perform this in pomona, kazu started sobbing (tearing up, really) towards the end.

can't help but to wonder what that's all about.

your idea makes sense to me. Nothing else comes into my mind

reminds me of the Dark Tower novels by King. To the dark tower roland came. lots of Roland references.

Whatever the song is about, I wish that he would've just brought her with him, or stayed there...now she's so sad...

I'm thinking it could either mean a suicide or just the loss of a very good friend or companion. As in, trying to reason with someone to not leave your life only to have the words fall on deaf ears.

So this song might be about a french epic "The song of roland" from the perspective of roland's love after she finds out he died in battle and consequently dies from grief. Heroine in this case is just the feminine version of hero not the drug.
