Serenade of Self-Destruction Lyrics

Lyric discussion by RuneWalsh 

Cover art for Serenade of Self-Destruction lyrics by Epica

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.
