Suicide Kiss

For everyone (all 100,000 of you) who wanted more information on the song Genesis sings in Suicide Club, it’s called “Suicide Kiss.” You can download an MP3 here. Although the song is in Japanese, I found a translation of it (though I can’t figure out how to permalink to the post, damnit!!). I love that he references Luc Besson.

Time and time again the sky is blue.
And yet it’s strange how people
seem to always fall in love.

An unfamiliar yellow dog…
… keeps grinning as it tears
us from the ones we love.

Because the dead…
Because the dead…
Because the dead shine all night long.

I want to die as beautifully
as Joan of Arc…
… inside a Bresson film.

Lesson one, apply the shaving cream…
… and smile as you then
slowly slice away the heart.

Because the dead…
Because the dead…
Because the dead shine all night long.

Feel the warmth of the spring rain as
it gently moistens down a cheek…
… that’s streaked with dried up tears.

A guileless boy but five years old
stares blankly in the face of death…
… while his heart is cut and torn away.
