Three years later he released his first tape under the moniker Suicide Commando, and made an appearance on the vinyl compilation, Electronic. As Van Roy continued self-releasing tapes, he landed more compilation appearances on Rotation II and Induktion, Varianz und Deren Folgen, both released by Kugelblitz records.

1994 finally saw Suicide Commando's first CD, Critical Stage, released on the German label Off-Beat. Shortly after, in 1995, Suicide Commando released Stored Images, which contains to date one of van Roy's most popular songs, See You in Hell.

1996 was the ten-year anniversary of Suicide Commando, and with it came the release of Contamination, as well as the limited boxed version, which contained a bonus 3" compact disc featuring previously unreleased material. Contamination was released a year later in North America by the now defunct Electronic Death Trip records.

In 1998, Suicide Commando released the album Construct-Destruct and its sister release, Reconstruction including new clubhits like Desire and Better Off Dead, the former of which was picked up by Possessive Blindfold Records for distribution in North America with bonus tracks.

Van Roy was one of the founders of the Dependent Records label in 1999. It was on this new label that Suicide Commando's next successful releases, two singles and one EP: Hellraiser, Comatose Delusion, and Love Breeds Suicide, accompanied Suicide Commando's 2000 release, Mindstrip, which reached the number one spot on the Deutsche Alternative Charts. Later the Mindstrip album also was licensed and released in North America by Metropolis Records.

In 2002 Suicide Commando release the DCD Anthology on Dependent Records, a compilation of the best and biggest Suicide Commando hits to date, including club hits such as "Hellraiser", "See You in Hell", "Love Breeds Suicide", and offering some exclusive new remixes and rare versions.

For Suicide Commando's next release, Axis of Evil, a special edition double single called Face of Death was released beforehand, selling out in two days. The regular edition of the single continues to sell, and Axis of Evil was voted album of the year (2003) by the Deutsche Alternative Charts. In 2004 Suicide Commando released another limited edition double single, Cause of Death: Suicide + One Nation under God.

In 2006, Suicide Commando returns with the album Bind, Torture, Kill (also available as limited edition including a bonus disc, poster and sticker), featuring the single Godsend + Menschenfresser, released on Johan's own new label Noise Terror Productions, a new division of Dependent Records. The album once again reached the top position in several alternative charts across the world and got voted album of the month in the German Orkus magazine.

Released in 2007, one year after the band's 20th anniversary, the X20 boxset including 3 CDs (one remix CD, one best of CD and the Fuck You Bitch EP) and Suicide Commando's very first live DVD. The special remix CD and the best of album were later released as separate discs by Metropolis Records. End of 2007 Suicide Commando return with the song Hate me, their first new material since the bind torture kill album, released on the noise terror volume 2 sampler on NTP/Dependent.

Love Breeds Suicide
Suicide Commando Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know what to do
Life seems so empty without you
Don't know if it's true
You didn't want to hurt me, desert me

Love breeds suicide
Love kills me inside

Just want to know
Is there a reason for living
Just want to go
Back where we came from, I'm begging you

Love breeds suicide
Love kills me inside

You were my reason for living
Why did it end
Why did it end
You were my sunshine, my living

Why did it end
Why did it end

The second verse reveals that the singer is questioning the point of life without their lover. They long to return to a time when they were together but recognize that this may be impossible.

The lyrics are simple yet raw and emotional, evoking a sense of helplessness and despair that many people may relate to when going through the end of a relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

Don't know what to do
I'm lost and confused without you

Life seems so empty without you
My life has no purpose or meaning since you're gone

Don't know if it's true
I don't understand why you did what you did

You didn't want to hurt me, desert me
I know you didn't mean to cause me pain by leaving me alone

Love breeds suicide
Love can be so overwhelming that it leads to self-destruction

Love kills me inside
The pain and sadness of love can be unbearable

Just want to know
I need answers to understand what happened

Is there a reason for living
I'm struggling to find a purpose in life now that you're gone

Just want to go
I wish I could escape this pain

Back where we came from, I'm begging you
I want to go back to a time when we were happy together

You were my reason for living
You gave me meaning and purpose in life

Why did it end
I can't understand why our love had to end

You were my sunshine, my living
You brought light and joy to my life

Why did it end
I can't escape the pain of losing you

I think Johan Van Roy is sympathizing with the people who have committed/attempted suicide because of a broken heart in this song.

Everytime i hear this song, it is a mix of sorrow, regret, anger, pain, guilt, a need to dance, to bang my head, and awe for the perfect score, mixing and mastering. Lyrics are pure, straight to the soul. This genre should be called elektro metal, but for the greater good it's called Industrial. Also, a very nice and humble man, but a monster on stage. Perfection. This song will be heard for many years to come. I have a healthy form of jealousy for this one.

Man this song channels my rage for everyone who wronged me and the one i truly loved...and rejected me in a unsympathetic way. I will keep it brief. She closed the door and did not talk to me every again despite my months upon months of torment and attempts to show her how much i loved her. In the end, i got the short end of the stick and heres my motto for love. "A worthless sense of pleasure and depth". Truth be told...you will never find deep and rich love with anyone on this world.

@@renedescartes4789 Haha, those kinds of movies were a ton of fun back in the day. The story I was writing was sci-fi. Basically, it took place in a future where six large companies and their various divisions and subsidiaries controlled 96% of all economic activity and had supplanted the government. People lived on dozens of planets connected by wormholes, since faster-than-light travel wasn't possible. These planets were extremely overcrowded. People were basically all 3D printed (actually something much more advanced but based on a similar principle) and lived with technology integrated into their physical bodies and thought processes. They came in various trims, like smartphones, could be augmented and updated, and it was an endless rat race to augment yourself to be better than others. Of course, the rich kind of started with a huge advantage.

My girlfriend just got locked up in a mental hospital and her shrink brainwashed her into thinking I was a bad person, now she's completely shut me out and won't talk to me. But I still love her and don't think I can love anyone else. I carved her name into my chest and now I hear this song and it perfectly describes my situation. I love this song, and the best part about that is this song won't betray me.

@silentvoidwalker I believe I was 16 at the time. I'm 18 now. At the time I didn't have the skill to write a song about it like Mr. Van Roy, so that was my way of expressing myself. My chest has healed and I'm not crazy anymore. I am dating a different girl but it's mostly for the sex and I like her a lot, but I dunno If I'm feelin the whole love thing happening.

great song to listen to after a break up. this is for anyone whos ever had to endure the living hell of accidentally falling in love with a conniving, backstabbing, manipulative, hypocritical, two faced, lying, cheating, psychotic-Succubus of a whore for so long that by the time its over your left completely BROKEN, without a fucking soul or the ability to feel positive emotion whatsoever ever again and become nothing but an empty shell of what once was a man and is now just a ball of rage, malice, hatred, suffering and despair looking for the cheapest ticket out of this world because she has stolen the very essence that once was you and left you with NOTHING, but a wish for death.

Read Milton's Paradise Lost, You sound a lot like Lucifer(Byronic Hero), and look what happened to him. Part of being mature is accepting your limitations and helping others. I know because I've seen others get checked. 9/11 sounds like your case on a grand scale. You can still be unique while being part of a group. To thy own self be true. Hope this helps.
