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 |

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.

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