A Love Suicide
Mercuzio Pianist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I call your name?
So please don't set me free
I'm as heavy as can be
I will do you harm
I will break my arm
I'm a victim of your charms
I want to be dead
I can be so mean
You can beat me
I would like to shame you
I would like to blame you
Just because of my love to you
And love itself is just as innocent as roses in May
I know nothing can drive it away
Though love itself is just as brief as a candle in the wind
And it's greedy just like sin
Alone but sane
I am a love suicide
'Cause love itself is just as brief as a candle in the wind
It is pure white just like sin
Alone but sane
I am a love suicide
'Cause love itself is just as innocent as roses in May
It is pure white just like sin
The lyrics to "A Love Suicide" by Mercuzio Pianist is a heartfelt and sorrowful confession of a person who recognizes the destructive nature of their love for another. The opening lines of "where is my shame when I call your name" shows the vulnerability of the singer, who is aware that their love is not healthy yet cannot help themselves from calling out to the person they desire. The line "I will do you harm, I will break my arm, I'm a victim of your charms" speaks to the power imbalance in the relationship, where the singer is willing to hurt themselves to gain the affection of the other person.
The chorus has contradictory statements where love is described as both innocent and brief like a candle in the wind and greedy like sin. It highlights that love can be destructive and fleeting, but it is also pure and innocent. The last line "Alone but sane, I am a love suicide" shows the realization that their love has taken over their life and is consuming them, leaving them alone and broken. The lyrics of the song portray the emotional pain and turmoil of being in a relationship that is harmful, yet the person cannot let go of their love for fear of being alone.
