I think I like the final version better, but I love this song. And while many people say this song reflects the book, I just don't see the connection all that much.
I've been trying to get my hands on a copy of Nabokov's book, Lolita, and I've realized that, while this is about Emilie, it really fits that book. A lot.
Most women who dress in EGL in Japan have no idea what the name "Gothic Lolita" came from, so calling this song Gothic Lolita makes no sense. And by the modern definition of the word "Gothic" (a cross between romance and horror), child abuse has nothing to do with it, so I don't know what EA means in that quote romakonoe shared. I would guess EA does not think child abuse is romantic in any way....
@goodyfun well from what i know of it, a lolita is also someone who is a sexually promiscuouse(sp?) young girl, or a girl above or below the age of consent who is desired by older men. That may be what she is referring to. I cant be entirely sure though
@goodyfun it would actually. Just one of those we'll-never-know-for-sure-unless-she-tells-us deals. Kind of Like Hiromu Arakawa and Envys gender... o.O
@goodyfun The gothic literature which informed the gothic movement grew about due to the collapse of english society and its corruption. While some of the more modern stories have aspects of romance you'll find that the general consensus is actually a perversion of romance. Dracula for instance has very little to do with romance, even Harper and Mina's relationship could be seen as shallow, and Dracula's intrusion is merely a further corruption of love by ennui.
"So I'm home tonight finishing the lyrics for a song on my upcoming "Opheliac" album entitled "Gothic Lolita." Oddly enough, it's not about the fashion, though I am a huge f a n of that as well (duh), but rather about the real thing, if you know wheat I mean. Really, what's more "gothic" than a child who grows up dead because of emotional murder at the hands of hapless pedophiles? "
I think it's more in tuned with Lolita by Vladdimir Nabokov. Really a great book, but I think that's what she really was referring to by "Lolita" but just my thoughts.

The song isn't based on the fashion. Emilie Autumn stated that herself: "Really, what's more 'gothic' than a child who grows up dead because of emotional murder at the hands of hapless pedophiles?"
It's a different take on Lolita and shouldn't be mistaken for a complete reference to either the fashion or the book.
I like the song, I just hate the fact that it's called "Gothic Lolita". This song has nothing to do with the EGL Japanese Fashion, but I afraid a lot of people confuse Vladmir's "Lolita" and the Elegant Gothic Lolita style.
I like this song. And by the way, This is only the demo version she recorded with her laptop... The album version is a lot longer than this version (And her vocals are more rougher.) XD
And yes, This song isn't about the fashion at all. Emilie's said herself this song is about her childhood as a rape vitim... Although she doesn't discuss it much, And I don't blame her. And It's more than likely it's about the book titled 'Lolita' too, since Emilie is a fan of that book.
didn't like the song much but its beter than amy lee. pfft, like that says alot... Found it looking at Bloodflowerz. Allow me to recomind chaism - isolated and The Birthday Massacre or otep if your more a metal type person looking for something with a good female singer. Genitorturers is worth mentioning.
no its not. Lolita refers to a young girl under the legal age for sex being in a relationship with an older man. Forbidden love? mabye. Creepy: definatly. Something Emilie Autumn knows nothing about: for sure.
that's the modern use of the word. Yes, when we refer to lolita today it's a young girl in a relationship with an older man. But the words gramatical meaning is "forbidden love"
Sounds strange... I've always got to know it means "forbidden love", which i thought might be right... The way the dress and act is very focused on seducing
this isnt the whole song??? "Thank you, kind sirs You've made me what I am today A bundle of broken nerves A mouthful of words I'm still afraid to say I don't mind telling you Now that I'm old enough to love I couldn't begin to Even if my pretty life depended on it And funny thing, it does"
this song is so poser, a girl is talking about being a gothic lolita while singing off key to dance music. Do u people even know what "lolita" means? Look it up posers.
Dear, do -you- know what being a lolita means? It's about manners and behaving like a lady or gentleman. It's about beauty. If someone seems to be posing as a lolita, simply turn up your nose and walk off, or give them a quiet scolding. This song isn't even about the fashion or lifestyle 'gothic lolita'; it's about Lolita, a book about a girl in a relationship with a much older man. Look it up, pigeon.
No human being can be gods ! They're humans ! Amylee is just a good singer and Emilie Autumn is just a great amazing artist ! Children, stop fighting and watch the brilliant video, while listening to the great song !!! Come on !!
In my opnion you all need to stop discussing whether or not it is Amy Lee or how to spell Yuck. Unless someone out-and-out asks something, can't we just watch the video without having a fight raging underneath? -_-
first: I know, this girl is Emilie Atumn no Amy Lee ¬¬ second: I only say: Amy Lee Sucks (for me ok??) third: In my country (Mexico) it's "yuk" and "iac"

What do you have wedged up in your ass? You need to learn how to respect other people's opinions. While Emilie is a wonderful singer, Amy lee is a great singer as well, and you should respect that. They both have their talents, and comparing the two is like comparing Iggy Pop to The Rolling stones. But, judging by your horrendous display of immaturity, I doubt you even know who either of those two are.
Bitch shut the fuck up, cuz noone cares what the fuck you have to say about her, she's a far better singer than Paris Hilton, why don't you go critisize someone who can't beat your ass!
Actually, no one cares about what YOU have to say. If you cannot respect other people's opinions, then don't bother to state your own. And you think you can compete with Hilton? She's rich and a social icon. While I don't care for her voice at all, I respect those who do. Hun, get some common sense, please.
I think I kinda like it. Her voice is very unique like SpikeeNiikura said. Its not great, but I like to listen to it. Her music is also unique, which matches her voice. If someone like amy Lee (all hail Amy)were sing it, I think it wouldnt be as good, her voice just matches it.
this is thw first song i´ve heard from her,and i really like it! her voice is very unique , but i think she´s a very cool singer and this song is real neat!
It was good... Untill she opened her mouth. D: Because singing about pedofiles with medeocre vocals is so loli... Its not even the fact its about that which gets to me as i like Jonestown tea by OTEP, its just this song. D:
This is a realllyyyy goooooos soooong! I want the EP and I want her 1st cd really bad, but If I can't get it at tower records, I can't get it :( *sigh*
