A Love Suicide is the main theme of Rule of Rose and the sixth track of the Rule of Rose Original Soundtrack. The song is used in all promotional trailers for the game, and played during the opening sequence and credits in-game. The music is preformed by The Hiroshi Murayama Trio with soundtrack composer Hiroshi Murayama on piano. The vocals are sung by Murayama's wife, Kaori Kondo.
The lyrics of this song could very likely be about Wendy's love and devotion for Jennifer and all the deadly things she did to prove her love for her friend. Also, the title "love suicide" could be a description of Wendy: someone who is willing to face death for her love.
Lyrics
Say where is my shame
When I call your name?
So please don't set me free
I'm as heavy as can be
I will do you harm
I will break my arm
I'm a victim of your charms
I want to be dead
When I am, I lament
I can be so mean
You can beat me
I would like to shame you
I would like to blame you
Just because of my love to you
And love itself is just as innocent as roses in May
I know nothing can drive it away
Though love itself is just as brief as a candle in the wind
And it's greedy just like sin
Alone but sane
I am a love suicide
'Cause love itself is just as brief as a candle in the wind
It is pure white just like sin
Alone but sane
I am a love suicide
'Cause love itself is just as innocent as roses in May
It is pure white just like sin
"All the Madmen"connection
A Love Suicide has been noted to share similar lyrics with the 1970s song All the Madmen by English musician David Bowie. The song deals with the theme of insanity, which is also a theme in Rule of Rose. Finally, All the Madmen ends with a repeated phrase in French that translates as 'release the dog', similar to Stray Dog. Despite the loose connection, nothing from the game developers has been said about the lyrics. [1]
A Love Suicide Lyrics
So please don’t set me free
I’m as heavy as can be
I will do you harm
I will break my arm
All the Madmen Lyrics
So I tell them that
I can fly, I will scream, I will break my arm
I will do me harm
Don’t set me free, I’m as heavy as can be
