One line really grabbed me. “So it’s my fault?” How many times have victims of assault, be they male, female, young, old, prudish, sexually active, sober, drunk, any adjective you can think of, have been blamed for their trauma?
Ruth Nield I blamed myself for being assaulted on the street. I still do. They keep saying it’s not my fault... I just don’t know how it’s not. I put myself in that situation...
I blame myself for letting my ex r*pe me for six months and then before I dumped him... mainly because I stayed due to battered wife syndrome and mental illness. Then his friends said it never happened and if it ever did it was my fault for being the way I am (I still don't understand what they meant).
The message of this song should never be ignored. It's not Lolita the style (I thought it was when I was in middle school) but after reading Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita I understood how in depth this song goes about a child being sexually abused by grown ups and losing their child hood because they are confused and manipulated into thinking something like that is ok. Lolita in the book was a pretty little girl who thought she had an "adult" mindset (what with kissing boys and losing her V to a boy her age at summer camp) but then is manipulated into some relationship with her step father. She had no where to go, no one to turn to, and wasn't allowed to go to school for a very long time because the perv wanted her to himself. The song breaks my heart, no child should ever go through this.
Ive never seen the book nor movie, i was trying to figure out what the song was about. After reading @Maniacaish post and listening, it makes sense. That is horrid
The awful thing is that even now, a lot of people interpret the Kubrick movie - and perhaps the book - as a poor man, being manipulated by a vixen who pretends to be innocent, but is in fact totally adult and 'wise beyond her years'. That's still a narrative we hear too often: about how a teenager 'manipulates' or 'seduces' a grown-up man. It's not his fault, he was seduced by her! Not even considering the fact that he's supposed to be the adult, and she's still a child, even if she's pretending to be an adult. Lot's of kids can pretend to be adults. I know I did. Doesn't mean they're ready to do what adults do.
@@Jazzisa311 Yep, and worse when a kid who's been through similar stuff reads the book/watches the film and it further confuses them and reinforces their erroneous belief of their own culpability...
"And you should be killed by an army of little girls." Hummm.....imagine what it'd be like if stone-cold murderers could be punished by the ghosts of the people they'd killed. *NOW SCREAM*
This song haunts me, to this day. One of the few pieces of art that depicts the pain of abuse. The voice breaks, the screams of pain, it all works so well and is something I’ll hear for the rest of my life
Words cannot express how this song makes me feel. Its exhausting to listen to but the sarcasm in her tone and words also makes it empowering to someone who has been through the same thing. I bawled the first time I heard this and sometimes i still do.
Same here. First song I ever heard from her was "I Want My Innocence Back" during a time in high school I was recalling repressed memories and beginning self-harm. I felt so understood and like I had some anger and distress to make me feel less like a freak.
Hi I am male but I strongly can identify with Emilie Autumn and her music and this song in particular has me very emotional, I often end up in sobs & tears listening to this beautiful yet tragic & true song. Thank you Emilie...you speak what too many keep hush.
I had stopped listening to Emilie Autumn for quite awhile but after being molested I keep coming back to this song. I can't even imagine how traumatic it must be for young victims of assault. My harassment was so minor compared to what some people have gone through, plus I'm an adult. It makes me wish there was something I could do. You're all so strong
I swear, this song is so emotionally draining..I listen to it almost everyday, but it leaves me emotionally drained, as aformentioned... Thinking about this, I can't even begin to imagine how it is for miss Emilie Autumn herself...
I can relate to this song and I'm only 15. Man how depressing life can be. But I love her voice and I think that she is the best. It's sad that some people don't even know who she is.
Lolita is a book, that I've been told is about a man with an interest in a very young girl. Lolita style on the other hand is a very modest and innocent style, that is not sexualized in any way. There are many other styles and categories within lolita including gothic lolita which is usually more classy or old fashioned and consists of mostly black.
She's so beautiful,I finally watched her in the Devil's Carnival. She makes a great painted doll&I knew immediately which character she was in the movie. That kissing booth scene was pretty awesome where she ripped the guy's ear off.
courtney warner I found her music before the devils carnival. I got into the devils carnival through Jimmy Urine and Chantal Claret (the translators) and when I watched the video for good little dictation machines I was like FUCK YES ITS MY QUEEN
My personal understanding of the song is since Lolita in a sense can mean property of an older man and EA is "property" of the man that raped her because he now controls her emotions because of the rape and she is gothic because she is dark and sad in a sense, therefore she is a gothic Lolita. Just my take on the song... Also for those that can't tell there is a lot of sarcasm in the song (as well as several other EA songs) directed about the rapist being the victim and not the child.
This hits way too close to home but I can’t NOT listen to it and cry. Harassed as a child. Gang-raped at 14, and then raped and exploited by a much older man when I was in my 20s (not prostitution. He exploited me with images, and forced me to do things with him, out of threats), all because I needed to rent a room. I wasn’t an innocent child, but I was young, needed a place to go, and I had never heard of a situation like this coming from a landlord/renter situation. By the time I saw what was coming, I was at risk of homelessness, and when that stopped scaring me, I was at risk of death. The last one did not get away, and I fought back with fire (not literally). He almost killed me. The second verse of this song stings and yet feels so cathartic. It’s not just about child sexual abuse. It’s about how it sets you up for an entire lifetime of harassment, and changes you into someone that cannot keep their cool around sex offenders (which honestly, I don’t think we should).
this song kinda triggers me now but i love it anyway. i listened to it when i was little and misinterpreted the meaning completely sadly. i thought it was about a little girl that was murdered LMAO i kinda wish i would have understood it more then. it would have helped me understand what was wrong
It's sad that this song probably actually speaks to some people. But good for her for getting her voice out about it, wonder how much this took of her?
it is sad. it's especially sad that a lot of it goes unpunished. i don't even know who or where the man is now. but he really fucked my life over. this song speaks to me and she gave me the courage to speak out to others to let them know they aren't alone.
As a shameful confession I have to admit I discovered this unique musician when I was looking up at the japanese lolita fashion OTL since then I'm a die hard fan of her music. At least for me her lyrics reflects that little wicked ugly face that is mostly asleep accumulating frustations day after day. Just listening to her through my day relax me and keeps me from punching some douchbags a girl has to come by from time to time.
+Miriam Rodriguez Why in the world would you be shamed by searching for Japanese Lolita Fashion? SOme of the outfits those girls get to wear are straight up gorgeous and unabashedly beautiful. Yes, the whole fashion was probably dreamed up so men could ogle young girls in cute outfits but there's nothing wrong with it, unless of course the 'looking' turns to general abuse of any kind. Telling a girl she's pretty isn't abuse, but telling her she's "Hot" and "I wanna bang her", to some degree, is. It's disrespectful, at the very least. At any rate, don't feel ashamed because you like a style of fashion. Lots of guys AND girls love Gothic Lolita cause it's fuckin' cute and pretty and shit.
+Tiberium Unchained no no, the fashion was created by girls in harajuku to protest the hypersexualization of ladies in japan by being extremely feminine while still remaining modest.
Huh, was it really? I heard somewhere that it was dreamed up so men could fetishize women in cute clothing. In all fairness, I can't remember where I heard that from.
Well, it's not true. I wear the fashion regularly and have been doing so for almost ten years. It's not like that. It was created o break the mold in which Japanese men wanted to force Japanese women. to be both sexy and feminine but also modest and quiet. It was a juxtaposition that led girls in Harajuku create a fashion based off foreign principles of beauty and it has now spread all over the world showing us that we can dress however we want. We don't dress for men, we dress for ourselves.
I'm sorry to hear that of you, personally I know that everyone deserves retribution in some form, I only wish the world wasn't as the way it is, or that I had the power to change it myself.
It's awful how the victims get blamed for the acts of the perpetrator. Like some people will say, "oh, she was wearing a slutty outfit, she was asking for it!" No, that's not at all true, and as Dick Gregory said, "If I'm a woman walking down the street naked, you STILL don't have the right to rape me."
Leif Merrow Probably, but I don't think you should be the one saying that since you'd probably not want them to be the ones burning you at the stake, make no mistake I defend no one in that. I'm just saying hate breeds hate and contempt breeds contempt, so before you say "burn them at the stake" , be weary as burning them at the stake requires you to do it to yourself, and trust me, the burning of fire will not be a cleansing pleasant feel, and no one truly deserves the fires I expect you expect them to go to after this life.
this song just killed me.... oh god. been constantly sexually assaulted, raped and abused by different people since the age of 7 all the way into adulthood. im now 22 and only just found a safe stable relationship. so much for protecting our children eh?
This song actually reminds of Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl. it does make a connection with some of the lyrics "been dead a thousand years but only lived 2 or 3" "be killed by an army of little girls"
Not really...Read the book....It's true she is abused but I don't really see this as what Lola what say...she just wanted to forget....This is more a victim who wants vengeance ...and quite rightly so...
I've never heard this song but saw a few of the lyrics tattooed on an adult film star. Wondered where they were from, looked them up and ran into this. Figured they were referring to abuse and found out the singer had it happen to her. These lyrics must mean a lot to that adult film star to permanently write on their body. Now I feel bad and wonder what her life could have been if that didn't happen. I know that industry is probably full of more women like her.
+Candi Sugacube Pretty good, though as a woman who attended an all-girls school the idea that locking up a bunch of women together would result in sisterhood and camaraderie ruined my suspension of disbelief even more than the talking rats did.
+chelonianmobile The general idea behind that kind of thinking is that women tend to look out for each other more often than men do. That being said, a lot of cruelty between women does happen and I suspect that an asylum would breed more ill will and hate than sisterhood and camraderie. Incidentally, I've never read the book in question.
+Tiberium Unchained actually, though obviously I can't speak for asylums in the time the book is set, psych wards nowadays DO breed a lot of friendship between patients especially same genders because we are around each other and living together and we have separate halls for girls and boys. when the doctors don't care about any of you and you're all stuck there trapped it bonds people
***** They are awesome. Actually,it was through their music that I found Emilie Autumn.I suggest "girl anachronism" or "half Jack" or "missed me"if you are going to try them!(:
man this song really touched base. how could someone who has never gone thru a traumatic experience like this ever understand the mindset? little girls are primary targets for predators. little boys are too, but from my research into this taboo topic, it turns out that police uncover alot more CP involving little girls than little boys. my theory is that men are subconsciously trying to suppress the power a woman can truly wield by breaking her will before she ever has a chance to become a woman. back in the day, wwaaaayyyyyy back in the day, the societies were much more matriarchal, that is, women held power, even over men sometimes. now, something has blinded mankind and turned that reverance into fear. now just turn women and girls into slabs of meat to be used for the pleasure of men. why not make the women BELIEVE that all theyre good for is the pleasure of men. i mean, physical superiority means SOOOO much more than emotional or spiritual. just wish this abuse of children would end.
Urbane professor Humbert Humbert (Jeremy Irons) marries a New England widow (Melanie Griffith) to be near her nymphet daughter. 1997. a very controversial film.. but it was adapted from a book written by Vladimir Nabokov
+TheShaylatte I think you're overthinking that. Society's stupid rules do indeed make it harder to stop them but people who molest children have no personal motive more complex than an erection and the assumption that they'll get away with what they're doing.
+TheShaylatte I kind of highly doubt that child molesters have this secret society or agenda against women in particular. Does the gender of a child even matter in a horrible situation like this?
Damn this song goes hard. It has so many elements working together and i just realized today what it's about. Stabbed me right in the heart. Underrated song.
I stopped devotedly listening to Emilie Autumn a few years ago. It's very nice coming back and giving older songs another listen, though - to see how much their meanings change for me, if they have at all. Anyway, what a good piece of music.
i was listening to this song late at night. it took me a while to understand the lyrics because i wasn't really listening. i was so tired that when i finally began to listen to the lyrics i started crying. it was such a surreal experience and i've been searching for this song ever since.
I adore this song. I see quite a few people fussing about it being confused with the fashion--- Realistically most people know the earlier definition of lolita from the book, just try to inform people of the differences. The character-type is a desirable young woman and the fashion is an innocent child-like appearance, overly simplified but not too hard to grasp and most people understand it. :D
I think I know what you mean. As i started listening Autumn I was full of anger so these kind of songs were perfect to me. Now i feel they're not for me because I have get over my anger so I rather listen her first album Enchant that has more peaceful music than Opheliac. I'm still glad that when i had my moments of pure rage, Autumn was always there for me and understood my feelings like no one else - even though she doesn't even know me! Now that is a Singer with a capital S or what? :)
not when your five years old, told to respect your elders and didn't understand what was happening but felt it was wrong but fear and confusion tightened your vocal cords and made speaking impossible.
I am in love with this song she is so great love her new cd fight like a girl. It really pulls you in and makes you think of what the mental patients were treated(: amazing
Don't think its' literally about rape or a fashion style exclusively, either, but I might be wrong. It might be more of a little nod to the fact how children get over-sexualized in our society, how sex is sold without regard to age under the guise of innocence (hm., think of underaged Johnson Brothers, all kinds of Miley Cyruses , Britneys, and Justin Biebers of our media, whose blatant sexuality was always flaunted at the age when it shouldn't really matter, how children are pressured to grow up way too fast and to measure their success only by how sexually developed they are, and how it all is approved by adults who are either closing their eyes on it or making this sh*t happen-and later these adults wonder with amazement or fear why a certain child is not "fitting" the mold of a cheery over-sexualized standard based on such established values, why a certain child acts as a direct and unpleasant, dark reminder of this socially accepted perversion by staying a child, forever.
"Murder where nobody dies" coudl be reffered to how society says we should look. I mean, kids skips dinner just because they want to look like that model. Like .. the society is kind of killing us inside and out. Just tht we do not die.
i heard that she have been raped when she was a yong girl.... also, it talks about a little girl not kids in general... here it only talks about girl(s)
:) You get it. Music can be such a stepping stone to excelling, and becoming a better you. Even if the music only meant something for a period of time, it still demands that retrospective reverence of being something that made you, you, in one way or another. I can still make my body move to the Opheliac album. For that very reason, I think. I revere where I've been, and bits of still chilling, and exciting to acknowledge every now and again. Anyway, mind me. I'm babbling. :)
This song is so messed up but so catchy, I can't stop listening to it! I've never been sexually assaulted, thank goodness, but I understand it is a very scarring thing and though this song is catchy it's actually a very serious issue, young girls and boys getting molested. I notice a lot of people posting how they've been sexually assaulted and I just want to say I'm so sorry that that's happened to you and I hope all those people who sexually assault others someday get punished. It really is atrocious and sickening what some people will do. Like I said I've never been sexually assaulted, at least I don't think so, but I remember as a kid getting spanked felt rather violating, even though I didn't know why at the time. And I've been catcalled before, I believe, and growing up I remember my brother made fun of my developing breasts so I kinda know how it feels.
Bree Rose I know I don't know the full extent of it, but that's why I said I only kinda know how it feels. It's not easy for me to share these things, to be honest. I am really sorry for whatever happened to you, I know I don't know exactly how bad it is.
+Bree Rose not everyone knows how it is, some people may have something subtle happen to them and they think they are the worst. Trust I've been there, multiple sexually abusive relationships and my friends brother was sexually abusive, I would know, I get all of the kind of attention, I get followed home sometimes and I get cat called from cars and Windows, but that doesn't mean I would go and tell someone that since they don't know someone else's story they aren't going to know anything. She even said she's never been through any of that, so why tell her that?
I really love this song, but the subject matter makes it so hard to listen to. Not that I'm truly complaining, because it'd be an absolute shame to try and ignore the meaning of this song. Especially since it's supposed to be difficult to listen to...
As some one who used to be a fan of the subculture I know that it can be a very sexualized and toxic subculture fashion like Kodona I don't really know when I discovered the scene...but when I was aware of the term LOLITA it was around 2014... When I was sixteen( I might have seen it in anime like Shugo Chara or Fruit Basket) In the anime/manga cosplay community people tend to dress in "LOLITA" ..... At first I thought it was a cosplay thing.....till I discovered the visual kei band( which became my favorite) Malice Mizer....the leader of the band Mana was dressed in " LOLITA" ...I realized overtime that it was a fashion scene.....I liked the visual Kei version despite not really enjoying the other version...for various reasons....😒I also discovered Ouji-Kei ( prince style...I still love this one) and Hime Kei( princess style) as well at the time....over the years I realized really fishy things about the community.... A while back I had borrowed some books at the library called...The Moe Manifesto,Otaku Encyclopedia all by Patrick W. Galbraith and another book called School girl something another ...how a something another made a nation cool.... I was disturbed by what he said about LOLITA fashion and anime/manga community.....my mother warned me about the scene saying it was named after a book about a man who has relations with a little girl....It was then revulsion hit me and I felt bad about ever saying the word LOLITA in front of my mom...I even told her" Nah 🙄that's just the book not the fashion 😂" little did I KNOW what I was in for ...😅 At some point I wanted to wear Elegant gothic LOLITA, punk LOLITA and classic gothic LOLITA ...but I don't usually wear women's clothes so I eventually came across Ouji Kei as a way to still stay in the scene without having to wear skirts or dresses plus I liked prince style better....I also discovered Decora( The pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu helped me discovered it..as well as Sebastian Masuda..) , Yami kawaii and other Japanese street fashions I knew already but didn't know the name for it and...that it was a scene outside of the cosplay community...... Around June of 2018 I discovered a website called Wunderwelt.Jp which I came across because Mana had a fashion line there called Moi meme Moite I think🤔(it's been a while 😅) I wanted to support one of my favorite guitarist of all time...so I went on UA-cam to see if anyone from the USA ever brought from there and how.... The first channel I can across was of a really nice person....the second seem nice too.....but after I think three and a half months I realized that ...this channel was very toxic and that the UA-camr in question was a prevy creep, obnoxious, pretentious, slightly racist, arrogant, pompous, materialistic , overy girly, sexist,spoiled,vain, obsessed, uncultured and unread jerk who makes fun of everyone who wasn't as pretty as her or rich...... And ignored her male audience. (And knew hardly anything about anime and manga) which really pissed me off ..she hardly knew anything about the SUBCULTURES of JAPAN and was even rude to her international viewers...... She called herself a "Streamy hot loli" Yeah everything about her channel was bizarre ..she was even slightly abusive to her gf...and builed her friends to being" LOLITA" she made jokes about stalking young girls including her own GIRL FRIEND! Still she usually dated men and said she fetished young lesbians... weird right?! I thought she was a bad example of the scene. Eventually I stopped watching her channel 😂 But as I watched other videos, read the blogs, joined groups, conventions......I realized that most of them if not all were like THIS..... ugh I guess..... This is too long but stick with me ok? I'm getting there ....😅 I came across a " LOLITA" in Hot Topic ( which was cramped as hell) to get some Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise...when I heard a girl shout" Anime is life" out if no where...I saw she was in" LOLITA" it was the brand Angelic Pretty so I asked her about it since I recognized the design...she sneered at me and looked me up and down ... And asked why would a guy know that?! Looked down at her own dress as if she didn't know what she had on.... Her friend/ boyfriend or whatever told her....I guess he was the one who brought it.... I was dressed as a gothic horror clown ..so she assumed I wouldn't know what she was wearing and was rude to me as we spoke...I laughed it off...and after a while she calm down... She tells me that she likes hime kei and LOLITA.... I told her I liked Ouji she asked what it was. I told her.... sneered at me AGAIN ..... I was even judged at a physican office for my style because the women thought I was part of the " LOLITA scene"I eventually readed Up on Idol culture from the 1960s - now in Japan and the subcultures of Tokyo.....I found out more disturbing stuff.... that was STILL going on! I read Masafumi Monden's Japanese fashion cultures book and that proved what Everyone was saying about how Kawaii fashion came to be....and "LOLITA"...... without "attacking" the wearers....who did the right thing..... I still look at "LOLITA" clothes now but not as much as before and some people I'm even still subcribed to still .. ..I don't like the subculture anymore through.. Even the boys fashion that are similar to LOLITA has this problem...Otona means adult and kodomo MEANS child. Together doesn't mean adolescent , yet people think it does... calling themselves "Kodona" which means"adult child" 😓It's like the fashion version of shota con....not like prince style at all! It's makes sense now why people keep mentioning Black Butler getting them "into"Kodona or Ouji since a lot of the followers are Fujoshi or shota fans..... I was wondering why they kept mentioning it even though Black Butler has nothing to do with Ouji..atleast not the anime.... especially since BB has shota Yaoi fanfiction As a fan of Black Butler and Ouji this is replusive I don't like loli or shota they are the most disgusting anime/manga themes..... They even sexualized Alice and wonderland.... I regret not listening to the warnings. Yet I still wanna read the fashion. Anyways I hope not to offended.
What... Do you not even realise the book this is about "Lolita", came much before the subculture? The connotations were already there when the community named itself after a book about a sexually abused girl
@@ghostmarquiche3352 Yes? I'm well aware of both Vladimir Nabokov's book and the history of the Lolita community. I understand that this song is not about the subculture. "Gothic Lolita," however, IS one of the most popular offsets of style in the community, most members of which have been trying hard to distance themselves from the book. Even if the title's not referring to the style, some might still decide to connect the two. With the exception of ero-lolita, sexual appeal is the last thing most who dress in Lolita fashion want to convey or be connected to... Ah, well. Probably worded my original comment wrong. Ignore me...
This song is about something I can't relate to but I can understand it because when I was a child, I would get scared when grown men would stare at me. I wouldn't even want to go to go to public places due to the stares. It makes me wonder about the many men who may stare at girls or young ladies... If what I experienced as I child seems to be a bad, it would be much worse for what the song talks about.
Makes me so sad to realize how much I feel like a Gothic Lolita. For the past two years, I've been hurt in more than a few ways by men far, far too old for me. How is it my fault? I could've said no--SO WHAT? I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I asked for it? How? By being MYSELF? I will ALWAYS be hurt and ALWAYS be a Gothic Lolita because of what was done to me.
anyone saying "lolita" is only for fashion, or lolita is a sudective little girl should really take the time and read the book! she describes the feelings that come out of the book really well in this song. never the less she had to go thro it herself.
sometimes i wonder if people come to my town just to meet a "grown man" and have the "grown man experience" which is far more unpleasant than it actually sounds.
You would know if you were a true plague rat that Emilie quite frequently writes about herself and other characters at the same time, a lot of, even most of her songs are at least semi-autobiographical. Mad Girl for example is about Ophelia, but it is also about Emilie. The same applies here.
One line really grabbed me. “So it’s my fault?” How many times have victims of assault, be they male, female, young, old, prudish, sexually active, sober, drunk, any adjective you can think of, have been blamed for their trauma?
Ruth Nield I blamed myself for being assaulted on the street. I still do. They keep saying it’s not my fault... I just don’t know how it’s not. I put myself in that situation...
@@Lazzie_the_Psilocybe_Deity even if you did, they didn't HAVE to assault ANYONE...
I blame myself for letting my ex r*pe me for six months and then before I dumped him... mainly because I stayed due to battered wife syndrome and mental illness. Then his friends said it never happened and if it ever did it was my fault for being the way I am (I still don't understand what they meant).

This song haunts me, to this day. One of the few pieces of art that depicts the pain of abuse. The voice breaks, the screams of pain, it all works so well and is something I’ll hear for the rest of my life
Me too, Keep strong ⚡✨
Words cannot express how this song makes me feel. Its exhausting to listen to but the sarcasm in her tone and words also makes it empowering to someone who has been through the same thing. I bawled the first time I heard this and sometimes i still do.

Hi I am male but I strongly can identify with Emilie Autumn and her music and this song in particular has me very emotional, I often end up in sobs & tears listening to this beautiful yet tragic & true song. Thank you Emilie...you speak what too many keep hush.
I strongly agree!
boy can be victims too. And the perpetrators definitely arent always men.
hey I know this is an old comment, but if you're still like this 10 years later, off yourself
the chorus is absolutely gorgeous, some of the best songs are dark, her voice is stunning
Light andvdark. Honest. Not fake emo
I love this song way too much for someone who can't relate to it personally.
Same
I feel that
Sameee
Be grateful you can't relate
I am an abuse survivor, but not sexual abuse. Only emotional and a little bit physical. So I'm not sure if I can relate to this or not
I had stopped listening to Emilie Autumn for quite awhile but after being molested I keep coming back to this song. I can't even imagine how traumatic it must be for young victims of assault. My harassment was so minor compared to what some people have gone through, plus I'm an adult. It makes me wish there was something I could do. You're all so strong
So many years later and I still cling to this song after listening on my middle school laptop at 3 am.
I swear, this song is so emotionally draining..I listen to it almost everyday, but it leaves me emotionally drained, as aformentioned...
Thinking about this, I can't even begin to imagine how it is for miss Emilie Autumn herself...
the beginning of this song reminds me of the theme for the dollhouse level in Alice the madness returns.
I can relate to this song and I'm only 15. Man how depressing life can be.
But I love her voice and I think that she is the best. It's sad that some people don't even know who she is.
You can't NOT love this song. It isn't humanly possible.
This song is very sad
Lolita is a book, that I've been told is about a man with an interest in a very young girl. Lolita style on the other hand is a very modest and innocent style, that is not sexualized in any way. There are many other styles and categories within lolita including gothic lolita which is usually more classy or old fashioned and consists of mostly black.
I'm a lolita, haha.
Also a term used to describe young seeming older women as well.
***** xD it was adopted as such when many people didn't realize what it actually meant. Welcome american 'adaptation'.
Finally, everytime I try talking about Lolita (the fashion style), people think I mean the book...and I'm just...ugh.
*****
Actually, for young-looking older women, "pseudololi" would be more appropriate. You probably found this out by the time I replied, though. ))}
She's so beautiful,I finally watched her in the Devil's Carnival. She makes a great painted doll&I knew immediately which character she was in the movie. That kissing booth scene was pretty awesome where she ripped the guy's ear off.
courtney warner I found her music before the devils carnival. I got into the devils carnival through Jimmy Urine and Chantal Claret (the translators) and when I watched the video for good little dictation machines I was like FUCK YES ITS MY QUEEN
I don't know why this popped into my head almost a decade later but I wish it didn't. It's heartbreaking.
"So it's my fault?"
....omg...I relate to this so hard...
you've really captured the personality she portrays in her songs with these pics :) ..well done.
My personal understanding of the song is since Lolita in a sense can mean property of an older man and EA is "property" of the man that raped her because he now controls her emotions because of the rape and she is gothic because she is dark and sad in a sense, therefore she is a gothic Lolita. Just my take on the song... Also for those that can't tell there is a lot of sarcasm in the song (as well as several other EA songs) directed about the rapist being the victim and not the child.
This hits way too close to home but I can’t NOT listen to it and cry. Harassed as a child. Gang-raped at 14, and then raped and exploited by a much older man when I was in my 20s (not prostitution. He exploited me with images, and forced me to do things with him, out of threats), all because I needed to rent a room. I wasn’t an innocent child, but I was young, needed a place to go, and I had never heard of a situation like this coming from a landlord/renter situation. By the time I saw what was coming, I was at risk of homelessness, and when that stopped scaring me, I was at risk of death. The last one did not get away, and I fought back with fire (not literally). He almost killed me. The second verse of this song stings and yet feels so cathartic. It’s not just about child sexual abuse. It’s about how it sets you up for an entire lifetime of harassment, and changes you into someone that cannot keep their cool around sex offenders (which honestly, I don’t think we should).
So damn dramatic
💔🖤
I'm so sorry for that :(
@@alfredorock-flores8480 her being raped and assaulted is "so damn dramatic"?
@@alfredorock-flores8480 shut up 🖕
Thank you for this masterpiece. I’m still listening 10 years later
this song kinda triggers me now but i love it anyway. i listened to it when i was little and misinterpreted the meaning completely sadly. i thought it was about a little girl that was murdered LMAO i kinda wish i would have understood it more then. it would have helped me understand what was wrong
this is the first song I've ever heard by Emilie Autumn and I've decided it's my anthem now
I have to admit a few minutes ago I didn't like it that much then I played it again.. and again. And now I love it
Same, with this song and another one.
same lol
It's sad that this song probably actually speaks to some people. But good for her for getting her voice out about it, wonder how much this took of her?
it is sad. it's especially sad that a lot of it goes unpunished. i don't even know who or where the man is now. but he really fucked my life over. this song speaks to me and she gave me the courage to speak out to others to let them know they aren't alone.
Ataries :'(
Listen to Daddy by Korn
It speaks to more people than you would believe.
As a shameful confession I have to admit I discovered this unique musician when I was looking up at the japanese lolita fashion OTL since then I'm a die hard fan of her music. At least for me her lyrics reflects that little wicked ugly face that is mostly asleep accumulating frustations day after day. Just listening to her through my day relax me and keeps me from punching some douchbags a girl has to come by from time to time.
+Miriam Rodriguez
Why in the world would you be shamed by searching for Japanese Lolita Fashion? SOme of the outfits those girls get to wear are straight up gorgeous and unabashedly beautiful. Yes, the whole fashion was probably dreamed up so men could ogle young girls in cute outfits but there's nothing wrong with it, unless of course the 'looking' turns to general abuse of any kind. Telling a girl she's pretty isn't abuse, but telling her she's "Hot" and "I wanna bang her", to some degree, is. It's disrespectful, at the very least.
At any rate, don't feel ashamed because you like a style of fashion. Lots of guys AND girls love Gothic Lolita cause it's fuckin' cute and pretty and shit.
+Tiberium Unchained no no, the fashion was created by girls in harajuku to protest the hypersexualization of ladies in japan by being extremely feminine while still remaining modest.
Huh, was it really? I heard somewhere that it was dreamed up so men could fetishize women in cute clothing. In all fairness, I can't remember where I heard that from.
Well, it's not true. I wear the fashion regularly and have been doing so for almost ten years. It's not like that. It was created o break the mold in which Japanese men wanted to force Japanese women. to be both sexy and feminine but also modest and quiet. It was a juxtaposition that led girls in Harajuku create a fashion based off foreign principles of beauty and it has now spread all over the world showing us that we can dress however we want. We don't dress for men, we dress for ourselves.
If only those "grown men" was punished for what they did to me, and many over underaged girls.
Most don't and get away with it.
I'm sorry to hear that of you, personally I know that everyone deserves retribution in some form, I only wish the world wasn't as the way it is, or that I had the power to change it myself.
It's awful how the victims get blamed for the acts of the perpetrator. Like some people will say, "oh, she was wearing a slutty outfit, she was asking for it!" No, that's not at all true, and as Dick Gregory said, "If I'm a woman walking down the street naked, you STILL don't have the right to rape me."
Rapists and pedophiles should be burned at the stake.
Leif Merrow Probably, but I don't think you should be the one saying that since you'd probably not want them to be the ones burning you at the stake, make no mistake I defend no one in that. I'm just saying hate breeds hate and contempt breeds contempt, so before you say "burn them at the stake" , be weary as burning them at the stake requires you to do it to yourself, and trust me, the burning of fire will not be a cleansing pleasant feel, and no one truly deserves the fires I expect you expect them to go to after this life.
Hmm, interesting point.
this song just killed me.... oh god. been constantly sexually assaulted, raped and abused by different people since the age of 7 all the way into adulthood. im now 22 and only just found a safe stable relationship. so much for protecting our children eh?
I'm so sorry to hear that!!! The world is really cruel I'm so happy you are okay now.
+Levi Ackerman thank you. just life isn't it. bad things happen and usually to good people.
I hope you have a wonderful life ahead! I hope you are okay wherever you are :)
Poulami Sarkar thank you
This song actually reminds of Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl. it does make a connection with some of the lyrics "been dead a thousand years but only lived 2 or 3" "be killed by an army of little girls"
lolita is originally a book by a Russian author Vladimir something or other this song is basically describing the book by the girls experience.
Vladimir Nabokov
+Haylee Horton yeah that's it thanks. I hate it that people always think it's a Japanese thing.
+Lilith Merva agreed, or that I can't look up lolita without having to sort through pages of Japanese lolita fashion first.
+Haylee Horton So that's where all this "loli" shit comes from.
Not really...Read the book....It's true she is abused but I don't really see this as what Lola what say...she just wanted to forget....This is more a victim who wants vengeance ...and quite rightly so...
Omg finally found this song in 2018, last time heard it was like in 2005-06' or earlier but still a good song.
I've never heard this song but saw a few of the lyrics tattooed on an adult film star. Wondered where they were from, looked them up and ran into this. Figured they were referring to abuse and found out the singer had it happen to her. These lyrics must mean a lot to that adult film star to permanently write on their body. Now I feel bad and wonder what her life could have been if that didn't happen. I know that industry is probably full of more women like her.
the timing at the begining used to really mess with my head, but now i kind of like it ;)
this song makes me sad especially sense i read the asylum for wayward victorian girls
how's that book?
hey do you know were to get it
+Candi Sugacube Pretty good, though as a woman who attended an all-girls school the idea that locking up a bunch of women together would result in sisterhood and camaraderie ruined my suspension of disbelief even more than the talking rats did.
+chelonianmobile The general idea behind that kind of thinking is that women tend to look out for each other more often than men do. That being said, a lot of cruelty between women does happen and I suspect that an asylum would breed more ill will and hate than sisterhood and camraderie. Incidentally, I've never read the book in question.
+Tiberium Unchained actually, though obviously I can't speak for asylums in the time the book is set, psych wards nowadays DO breed a lot of friendship between patients especially same genders because we are around each other and living together and we have separate halls for girls and boys. when the doctors don't care about any of you and you're all stuck there trapped it bonds people
Hahaha love the broken style intro!
Yeah.The intro reminds me of a part from "Coin operated boy" by The Dresden Dolls.
Ash kinkaid hmm never heard of them, are they good?
***** They are awesome. Actually,it was through their music that I found Emilie Autumn.I suggest "girl anachronism" or "half Jack" or "missed me"if you are going to try them!(:
Ash kinkaid thanks for the suggestions!
you're welcome.^ -^ hope you like them.
man this song really touched base. how could someone who has never gone thru a traumatic experience like this ever understand the mindset? little girls are primary targets for predators. little boys are too, but from my research into this taboo topic, it turns out that police uncover alot more CP involving little girls than little boys. my theory is that men are subconsciously trying to suppress the power a woman can truly wield by breaking her will before she ever has a chance to become a woman. back in the day, wwaaaayyyyyy back in the day, the societies were much more matriarchal, that is, women held power, even over men sometimes. now, something has blinded mankind and turned that reverance into fear. now just turn women and girls into slabs of meat to be used for the pleasure of men. why not make the women BELIEVE that all theyre good for is the pleasure of men. i mean, physical superiority means SOOOO much more than emotional or spiritual. just wish this abuse of children would end.
Well, seeing as how I don't the story, I ask for an explanation. This "Lolita" character was real?
Urbane professor Humbert Humbert (Jeremy Irons) marries a New England widow (Melanie Griffith) to be near her nymphet daughter. 1997. a very controversial film.. but it was adapted from a book written by Vladimir Nabokov
+TheShaylatte I think you're overthinking that. Society's stupid rules do indeed make it harder to stop them but people who molest children have no personal motive more complex than an erection and the assumption that they'll get away with what they're doing.
chelonianmobile i believe it is all in the subconscious, which can then be manifested as conscious
+TheShaylatte I kind of highly doubt that child molesters have this secret society or agenda against women in particular. Does the gender of a child even matter in a horrible situation like this?
The pictures you pick for each song fit the song perfectly.
any man wouldn't do....
thank you kind sir, you make me what I am today....
"The law won't arrest you
The world won't detest you
You never did anything
Any man wouldn't do"
Be careful when dealing with men.
Damn this song goes hard. It has so many elements working together and i just realized today what it's about. Stabbed me right in the heart. Underrated song.
as someone who was groomed and sexually abused for nearly a year when i was 11 this song holds close
I stopped devotedly listening to Emilie Autumn a few years ago. It's very nice coming back and giving older songs another listen, though - to see how much their meanings change for me, if they have at all.
Anyway, what a good piece of music.
Thank you for bringing the song to life and U did a good job on the video :) Much appreciated all of your efforts!
i was listening to this song late at night. it took me a while to understand the lyrics because i wasn't really listening. i was so tired that when i finally began to listen to the lyrics i started crying. it was such a surreal experience and i've been searching for this song ever since.
this song hit the nail of my trauma right on the head yikes
This song speaks facts. Wow 👏🏻👏🏻
I really wish they hadn't made their videos private, but I'm glad you're stepping up. :)
Ooooooh they meant THAT lolita....the original story is twisted u.u
I adore this song. I see quite a few people fussing about it being confused with the fashion--- Realistically most people know the earlier definition of lolita from the book, just try to inform people of the differences. The character-type is a desirable young woman and the fashion is an innocent child-like appearance, overly simplified but not too hard to grasp and most people understand it. :D
I sometimes go on walks thru the forest in the evening and listen to this song...
This is one of my favourites of hers.
Took me like half way through the song before I realized she didn't mean the Gothic Lolita fashion. XD
+Aorta Artery What is the book about
+Aorta Artery Nice. Is it in english? Where could I get it?
***** Thank you!
Same here I am a starting Lolita. But I really like song
Good thing you pointed that out, I was in for a surprise.
I think I know what you mean. As i started listening Autumn I was full of anger so these kind of songs were perfect to me. Now i feel they're not for me because I have get over my anger so I rather listen her first album Enchant that has more peaceful music than Opheliac. I'm still glad that when i had my moments of pure rage, Autumn was always there for me and understood my feelings like no one else - even though she doesn't even know me! Now that is a Singer with a capital S or what? :)
I just noticed that she's wearing 4 different kinds of stockings. Not just 4 stockings, but 4 different kinds.
Does that have a meaning behind it, or is this just an observation?
Looked up “gothic lolita” on UA-cam, found this video, decided to watch it out of curiosity, instantly became a fan of Emilie Autumn.
The kind of murder where nobody dies, love that.
not when your five years old, told to respect your elders and didn't understand what was happening but felt it was wrong but fear and confusion tightened your vocal cords and made speaking impossible.
thank you for posting, it was great!
Thank you so much!
I love Emilie Autumn so much!
this song is so beautiful...
I love her voice
I can relate to this song but she is a fantastic artist. I love her music.
Lolita is not just a fashion statement and neither is Gothic. Gothic can be a state of mind, like the book genre much alike to grimoire.
I am in love with this song she is so great love her new cd fight like a girl. It really pulls you in and makes you think of what the mental patients were treated(: amazing
Azta kurva 10 év után visszataláltam szeretlek naon Emiliyyyyyyyyyxx:) ha tudnád mivolt nevetnél :D lovely
One of my favorites by miss Autumn
Thank you SOOO much for making these! I have one question though: Where do you get these pictures? They are beautiful! Expecially this one
Don't think its' literally about rape or a fashion style exclusively, either, but I might be wrong. It might be more of a little nod to the fact how children get over-sexualized in our society, how sex is sold without regard to age under the guise of innocence (hm., think of underaged Johnson Brothers, all kinds of Miley Cyruses , Britneys, and Justin Biebers of our media, whose blatant sexuality was always flaunted at the age when it shouldn't really matter, how children are pressured to grow up way too fast and to measure their success only by how sexually developed they are, and how it all is approved by adults who are either closing their eyes on it or making this sh*t happen-and later these adults wonder with amazement or fear why a certain child is not "fitting" the mold of a cheery over-sexualized standard based on such established values, why a certain child acts as a direct and unpleasant, dark reminder of this socially accepted perversion by staying a child, forever.
"Murder where nobody dies" coudl be reffered to how society says we should look. I mean, kids skips dinner just because they want to look like that model. Like .. the society is kind of killing us inside and out. Just tht we do not die.
i heard that she have been raped when she was a yong girl.... also, it talks about a little girl not kids in general... here it only talks about girl(s)
The lolita movie you're talking about? If so, the lil girl was actually IN LOVE with an older man!!! Here, it's clearly rape...
Yes, but as i have seen, the girl was attracted by him too.....
Why keeping that important part of the book out than?
i really like this song, it is different from the music u get today!
:) You get it.
Music can be such a stepping stone to excelling, and becoming a better you. Even if the music only meant something for a period of time, it still demands that retrospective reverence of being something that made you, you, in one way or another.
I can still make my body move to the Opheliac album. For that very reason, I think. I revere where I've been, and bits of still chilling, and exciting to acknowledge every now and again.
Anyway, mind me. I'm babbling. :)
This song is so messed up but so catchy, I can't stop listening to it! I've never been sexually assaulted, thank goodness, but I understand it is a very scarring thing and though this song is catchy it's actually a very serious issue, young girls and boys getting molested. I notice a lot of people posting how they've been sexually assaulted and I just want to say I'm so sorry that that's happened to you and I hope all those people who sexually assault others someday get punished. It really is atrocious and sickening what some people will do.
Like I said I've never been sexually assaulted, at least I don't think so, but I remember as a kid getting spanked felt rather violating, even though I didn't know why at the time. And I've been catcalled before, I believe, and growing up I remember my brother made fun of my developing breasts so I kinda know how it feels.
I'm sorry but you don't know how it feels just because you were spanked and catcalled. it's awful to be cancelled but it can't even compare.
Bree Rose I know I don't know the full extent of it, but that's why I said I only kinda know how it feels. It's not easy for me to share these things, to be honest. I am really sorry for whatever happened to you, I know I don't know exactly how bad it is.
+Bree Rose not everyone knows how it is, some people may have something subtle happen to them and they think they are the worst. Trust I've been there, multiple sexually abusive relationships and my friends brother was sexually abusive, I would know, I get all of the kind of attention, I get followed home sometimes and I get cat called from cars and Windows, but that doesn't mean I would go and tell someone that since they don't know someone else's story they aren't going to know anything. She even said she's never been through any of that, so why tell her that?
Love all the sounds in her songs. :D
I can't relate to this song at all, same with a lot of EA's music, but I just love all of it so much!
I really love this song, but the subject matter makes it so hard to listen to.
Not that I'm truly complaining, because it'd be an absolute shame to try and ignore the meaning of this song. Especially since it's supposed to be difficult to listen to...
As some one who used to be a fan of the subculture I know that it can be a very sexualized and toxic subculture fashion like Kodona I don't really know when I discovered the scene...but when I was aware of the term LOLITA it was around 2014... When I was sixteen( I might have seen it in anime like Shugo Chara or Fruit Basket)
In the anime/manga cosplay community people tend to dress in "LOLITA" .....
At first I thought it was a cosplay thing.....till I discovered the visual kei band( which became my favorite) Malice Mizer....the leader of the band Mana was dressed in " LOLITA" ...I realized overtime that it was a fashion scene.....I liked the visual Kei version despite not really enjoying the other version...for various reasons....😒I also discovered Ouji-Kei ( prince style...I still love this one) and Hime Kei( princess style) as well at the time....over the years I realized really fishy things about the community....
A while back I had borrowed some books at the library called...The Moe Manifesto,Otaku Encyclopedia all by Patrick W. Galbraith and another book called School girl something another ...how a something another made a nation cool....
I was disturbed by what he said about LOLITA fashion and anime/manga community.....my mother warned me about the scene saying it was named after a book about a man who has relations with a little girl....It was then revulsion hit me and I felt bad about ever saying the word LOLITA in front of my mom...I even told her" Nah 🙄that's just the book not the fashion 😂" little did I KNOW what I was in for ...😅
At some point I wanted to wear Elegant gothic LOLITA, punk LOLITA and classic gothic LOLITA ...but I don't usually wear women's clothes so I eventually came across Ouji Kei as a way to still stay in the scene without having to wear skirts or dresses plus I liked prince style better....I also discovered Decora( The pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu helped me discovered it..as well as Sebastian Masuda..) , Yami kawaii and other Japanese street fashions I knew already but didn't know the name for it and...that it was a scene outside of the cosplay community......
Around June of 2018 I discovered a website called Wunderwelt.Jp which I came across because Mana had a fashion line there called Moi meme Moite I think🤔(it's been a while 😅) I wanted to support one of my favorite guitarist of all time...so I went on UA-cam to see if anyone from the USA ever brought from there and how....
The first channel I can across was of a really nice person....the second seem nice too.....but after I think three and a half months I realized that ...this channel was very toxic and that the UA-camr in question was a prevy creep, obnoxious, pretentious, slightly racist, arrogant, pompous, materialistic , overy girly, sexist,spoiled,vain, obsessed, uncultured and unread jerk who makes fun of everyone who wasn't as pretty as her or rich...... And ignored her male audience. (And knew hardly anything about anime and manga) which really pissed me off ..she hardly knew anything about the SUBCULTURES of JAPAN and was even rude to her international viewers...... She called herself a "Streamy hot loli" Yeah everything about her channel was bizarre ..she was even slightly abusive to her gf...and builed her friends to being" LOLITA" she made jokes about stalking young girls including her own GIRL FRIEND! Still she usually dated men and said she fetished young lesbians...
weird right?!
I thought she was a bad example of the scene.
Eventually I stopped watching her channel 😂
But as I watched other videos, read the blogs, joined groups, conventions......I realized that most of them if not all were like THIS..... ugh I guess..... This is too long but stick with me ok? I'm getting there ....😅 I came across a " LOLITA" in Hot Topic ( which was cramped as hell) to get some Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise...when I heard a girl shout" Anime is life" out if no where...I saw she was in" LOLITA" it was the brand Angelic Pretty so I asked her about it since I recognized the design...she sneered at me and looked me up and down ... And asked why would a guy know that?!
Looked down at her own dress as if she didn't know what she had on....
Her friend/ boyfriend or whatever told her....I guess he was the one who brought it....
I was dressed as a gothic horror clown ..so she assumed I wouldn't know what she was wearing and was rude to me as we spoke...I laughed it off...and after a while she calm down...
She tells me that she likes hime kei and LOLITA....
I told her I liked Ouji she asked what it was. I told her.... sneered at me AGAIN ..... I was even judged at a physican office for my style because the women thought
I was part of the " LOLITA scene"I eventually readed
Up on Idol culture from the 1960s - now in Japan and the subcultures of Tokyo.....I found out more disturbing stuff.... that was STILL going on! I read Masafumi Monden's Japanese fashion cultures book and that proved what Everyone was saying about how Kawaii fashion came to be....and "LOLITA"...... without "attacking" the wearers....who did the right thing.....
I still look at "LOLITA" clothes now but not as much as before and some people I'm even still subcribed to still .. ..I don't like the subculture anymore through.. Even the boys fashion that are similar to LOLITA has this problem...Otona means adult and kodomo MEANS child. Together doesn't mean adolescent , yet people think it does... calling themselves "Kodona" which means"adult child" 😓It's like the fashion version of shota con....not like prince style at all! It's makes sense now why people keep mentioning Black Butler getting them "into"Kodona or Ouji since a lot of the followers are Fujoshi or shota fans..... I was wondering why they kept mentioning it even though Black Butler has nothing to do with Ouji..atleast not the anime.... especially since BB has shota Yaoi fanfiction
As a fan of Black Butler and Ouji this is replusive
I don't like loli or shota they are the most disgusting anime/manga themes.....
They even sexualized Alice and wonderland....
I regret not listening to the warnings. Yet I still wanna read the fashion.
Anyways I hope not to offended.

Minus the title and the connotations it might attach to the Lolita subculture, this song is beautiful.
What... Do you not even realise the book this is about "Lolita", came much before the subculture? The connotations were already there when the community named itself after a book about a sexually abused girl
@@ghostmarquiche3352 Yes? I'm well aware of both Vladimir Nabokov's book and the history of the Lolita community. I understand that this song is not about the subculture. "Gothic Lolita," however, IS one of the most popular offsets of style in the community, most members of which have been trying hard to distance themselves from the book. Even if the title's not referring to the style, some might still decide to connect the two. With the exception of ero-lolita, sexual appeal is the last thing most who dress in Lolita fashion want to convey or be connected to...
Ah, well. Probably worded my original comment wrong. Ignore me...
This song is about something I can't relate to but I can understand it because when I was a child, I would get scared when grown men would stare at me. I wouldn't even want to go to go to public places due to the stares. It makes me wonder about the many men who may stare at girls or young ladies... If what I experienced as I child seems to be a bad, it would be much worse for what the song talks about.
This song is so... deep and sad. Btw, the Lolita book is awesome, one of my favourites.
That reminds me the lovely bones
I thought this song was gonna be about gothic lolita fashion (which I love btw, I'd like to try dressing gothic lolita sometime) but boy was I wrong.
this song is so important
Very Nice....
I love youuuuuu thanks for this video
Idk if I just watch this UA-camr's videos alot or if I just watch this video that much but I always see this user I'm
Makes me so sad to realize how much I feel like a Gothic Lolita. For the past two years, I've been hurt in more than a few ways by men far, far too old for me. How is it my fault? I could've said no--SO WHAT? I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I asked for it? How? By being MYSELF? I will ALWAYS be hurt and ALWAYS be a Gothic Lolita because of what was done to me.
thank you kind sirs...am i sensing some oblivion here?
anyone saying "lolita" is only for fashion, or lolita is a sudective little girl should really take the time and read the book! she describes the feelings that come out of the book really well in this song. never the less she had to go thro it herself.
I love all her songs because I can relate to them personally she is very creative with letting her past out I look up to her for that
Was a rough session in therapy today
me encanta!! es hermosa esta canción
I think this song is about the little girl definition of Lolita, not the fashion.
I love this song *_*
sometimes i wonder if people come to my town just to meet a "grown man" and have the "grown man experience" which is far more unpleasant than it actually sounds.
Beautifully awesome
It is not about the book or even the girl in the book, but yes, she does refer to it.
i used to listen to this in 2020 before i didnt understand the lyrics and now i do
I'm still here lol
me too
oh crap, this is good
I sent this to the person that raped me (statutory) it ruined my life, and I am about to ruin his.
You would know if you were a true plague rat that Emilie quite frequently writes about herself and other characters at the same time, a lot of, even most of her songs are at least semi-autobiographical. Mad Girl for example is about Ophelia, but it is also about Emilie. The same applies here.
If i am lolita then u are a criminal ,so its my fault this song is my most hated and loved song hello ptsd
