The kind of murder where nobody dies seems to relate to loss of innocence. As a victim of sexual abuse where my abuser was never blamed this song is gorgeous to me. Emilie's just so sarcastic about it all. ' I /perfectly/ understand. So it's /my/ fault?' And the constant little dig she gives 'You never did anything any man wouldn't do...' It's also sad though because it shows her being left 'a bundle of broken nerves' and that mouth full of words she'll never say is obviously 'he raped me and I couldn't do a thing about it.' If you listen to the Opheliac Companion Album (Basically the commentry (This songs commentry is 96 minutes something long)) She goes on to explain that it is about her. It is about what she's been through, and the fact that Lolita is seen as dressing up as almost dead little girls links to dead innocence.
