Swans -- No Cure for the Lonely

[derKuntz]

Quite often people, who are constantly threatening to kill themselves, are making the lifes of the people around them so miserable, that when they actually do kill themselves, it comes as a relief. Living close to a drama queen can be a drag.

What a great fucking song!

no cure indeed..:)

[Ghostboy231967]

Suicide is the ultimate selfish act, with no consideration for others and the painful sorrow if inflicts.

[squizz222]

@Ghostboy231967 What about the sorrow of continuing to live in misery? Ever thought about that?

[Eddie2112x]

@Ghostboy231967 A very populist view, barely considered. If the people around the victim are so devastated at their suicide, then where were they in the victim's life?

@Eddie2112x

Not to mention that we live in a culture that loathes anyone who isn't mindlessly content. Despite its horror, suicide is a very human act in a dehumanized society. Its funny how we celebrate enlightened self interest, but are quick to demonize a desperate individual's final attempt at happiness.

absolute gem, very, very precious lyrics

'Cut down the preacher, he just lies

Burn all the books that closed my mind

Destroy it all, it's all untrue

How can I even breathe without you?'
