Serenade of Self-Destruction Lyrics
Seeming that our view can't be changed
Deciding where to go
And believe in your disaster
Deleting a future untold
This is the devil in me
Expecting deeds in the making
Will show no final relief
Seething in a monstrous cage
Ideas meant to placate
When meeting your disaster
Are only for a desperate fool
Can come from deep underground
Believing sources unbroken
Will tear the legion apart
(You are just a slave to the dust)
Another time, where you and me will be freed with one more last endeavor
(You cannot escape your fate now, no)
Please embrace me in your peace
I want to fly into the bright
Would you please guide my last goodbye?
Why won't you lie with me, my light's ending
On a night when I find, I'll take my final flight
(You will never earn my trust)
Provoke the need, give word to deed and dive into another God-like atmosphere
(You will never find your way out, no)
Please embrace me in your peace
I want to fly into the bright
Would you please guide my last goodbye?
Why won't you lie with me, my light's ending
On a night when I find, I'll take my final flight
Than breathe in my shame
They'll know my name
All hell in flames
We proudly die
(For it we would die)
For our sovereign
All hell will arise
(Hell will surely rise)
In earning reward
(Earning our reward)
Collision of skies
The ocean wept dry
(Every ocean dry)
As my degradation throws me out of line
Please embrace me in your peace
I want to fly into the bright
Would you please guide my last goodbye?
Why won't you lie with me, my light's ending
On a night when I find, I'll take the final flight
Into the serenade forever lost in time
This song talks about suicide. It talks about 3 types of suicides. 1 - For religion (Like muslim bombermans) 2 - For honor ( like samurais) 3 - Crap, I dont quite remember this one. I think has something to do with anomic suicide ( search for Emile Durkheim´s concept of anomic suicide if you are interested)
Simones actually talks about her inspiration to write this music, the son of her mother-in-law´s bestfriend died and she said she´d write a music about it, and then this was created :)
The interview is on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YdcosElCjE
Actually in the interview she said "regular suicide" and for "religion" and "honor", like you said.

I think its a plea to mankind to change their ways before the world becomes even more hellish than it is. Its talking about people getting involved in the issues that affect the world and become one nation united against a common goal: World Unity and if we dont things may get beyond repair.
