jesus SUCKS
I don't think it's offensive, just not as scathing as it could have been. It feels a little juvenile.

Bodies is still absolute top tier cool.

With a little metaphor! It's very direct, and I think it detracts just a little bit and makes it read kinda cheesy.

This is all just nitpicking a good song, mind you

I remember seeing somewhere that it was something like:

Deny, decide, destroy, disobey, disguise

When I was an angsty teenager these were literally my favourite SP lyrics. They still pack a punch to this day, don't care if they sound corny.

Love is Suicide is top tier lyrically. Everything doesn't have to be some deep poetry metaphor. Straight forward is welcome in a song like this.

Agreed 100% there are no critiques. It's perfect.

I agree that given how lyrically dense and poetic the lyrics on Mellon Collie are, coming around to something as simple and unveiled as "love is suicide" feels powerful. Bill talked about using metaphor once because singing "it fucking hurts" doesn't convey enough, but I think it works the other way too.

What tattoo is it? Like a wrist tattoo as a painful memento or a hip tattoo, to cry to while having a shower, something like that.

To be honest I have never heard this song - or any of Mellon Collie for that matter.
