For the people who don't know the last 3 minutes of the song is meant to simulate drowning because statistically that's how long it takes for a human being to drown.
I lasted 2:50 second in that simulation. There is a website that simulates being stranded in the ocean and times how long you survive by how long and fast your scroll your mouse to promote life jackets.
It's not exactly true. The cold shock in cold water lasts about 1-3 minutes. You can't swim, because your muscles cramp. When you break through the ice, you can die within 1-3 minutes, but you can survive more than 40 hours in water warmer than 26°C.
You'd think music like this would leave you depressed. Its the opposite, it exorcises the bad stuff away. You just pour it all out, and fight back against the world. Thanks Emilie for writing these-- its good medicine.
+Song Thief I've always felt that music is a way to purge the soul and Emilie does this beautifully. Whenever I'm feeling depressed or off-balanced I listen to EA and it helps. I'm so glad that EA is not afraid to write songs like this, most would shy away from the topic.
Emilie has always had a way of making death very VERY real and it definitely gets me through the darker days. I may be depressed but god I don’t want to go through the three minutes at the end of this song.
I've actually heard that this song is talking about a mass suicide in France where women threw themselves into the Seine River. 306 women committed suicide in the river in the span of six years. One woman, appropriately called the "Unknown Woman of the Seine", was unable to be identified.
@Rachel Fourie The Unknown woman of the Seine was so beautiful (she was believed to be around 16 years old) that the pathologist decided to make a death mask of her face that later became popular in France among the artistis like Albert Camus who compared her to Mona Lisa.
Guys...think about the lyrics. "Three Hundred and Six, In only Six years.. If it was an accident, Where are the tears? I am still unidentified, Behind the cathedral, Is where my body hides, But I'm not inside." Just think about that...most people would assume it's about a suicide or something similar, right? But when you look a little deeper, it really truly starts to sound like 'Gothic Lolita'. This song seems to almost mirror thoughts of suicide after a traumatic experience.
No one really knows why, but from what i've researched it sounds like a ripple effect. Women were having hard times at that point in time and when people were hearing about women killing themselves by drowning other women just choose to go that way. The most famous one is a 16 year old girl who was unidentified, because she had a smile on her face as if she was accepting death peacefully like she was happy that she was dying.
I think that this is one of (if not the) creepiest songs by her. It's a freaky and depressing story and I love the fact that Emilie uses her amazing talent to bring it into the spotlight.
It is C: Its one of the greatest stories and mysteries ever, and she's a genious for writing this song. The instrumental at the end signifies the 3 minutes that it takes for your lungs to fill up with water before you drown.
That's mean. =( WingedZephyr gave us access to Emilie and it's thanks to her that I came across her music. They're both good fans, and are doing good by spreading the Plague so Emilie can get more exposure and support.
Its about the river Seine,in Paris, when they once decided to fetch up all the bodies at the bottom. They found 306. They laid them all out behind a church,and people came round to identify them,and such. People found their relatives,friends and all. Every single one was identified,bar ONE. It was a young girl. When they saw her-she didn't decompose, and she was..smiling. And nobody knows who she was. They call her L'inconnue de la Seine.
I like the harpsichord sort of sound (or what I believe is a harpsichord) in some of her songs... I don't play instruments really... Been awhile since I used a ukelele or clarinet, but in terms of sound I really like the organ and harpsichord instead of the piano... The harpsichord just has a very classic feeling to the sound it makes... I don't know what sound was in the very beginning, but it sounds weird... It's like a car's window wipers when the front window is dry...
That is indeed a harpsichord you heard. As for the weird sound at the beginning, that was made by a synthesizer. I don't know for sure what it's supposed to be.
Statisticly speaking the numbers may be low, but when you are talking human libra its hard to measure the impact. A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect as they say.
This is what makes her amazing. She uses the talent she has to speak the truth in the most brutal way. People would never understand if you don't point out things like she does.
Just search on google, however after some search I discovery that: "Unknown Woman of the Seine" was a girl found dead in a river, a staff member was so taken with her beauty that he made a cast of her face, creating a haunting death mask of the young woman, she was never indetified, however I don't find anything about 306 womans committed suicide. Ps: TH-cam won't allow links in comments, search by you own it's a really interesting history ( sorry about my english )
I heard that gothic lolita is about when emilie herself was raped as young girl, got pregnant years and years, had an abortion and in a result wanted to kill herself. This song sounds very familiar to the story she wrote in her book...
It's a song about an event that happened, I believe in France, where 306 women drowned themselves in a river in the span of six years, the last one who was found was I believe sixteen years old and she was found washed up behind a church.
Could you please tell me more about that? I'm french and never heard about it, im trynig to do some research but no french websites are able to gimme more informations ^^
You do realize that WingedZephyr is NOT Emilie Autumn. Just one of her fans who created videos here. She has posted about the video situation in one of the forums.
If you have netflix and can have movies mailed to you there is a documentary I have a download link too, I'll message it to you though, youtube doesn't allow web addresses in comments
That pic of her makes think. If I wore that, I would feel like I would have forgotten something.... Something important. Something like a shirt. I'm glad she can pull it off, though.
***** Ah! Thanks, I love the deeper meaning behind a lot of her songs. I only just actually started listening to her, my friends love her and I've heard several songs.
covering myself in blood makes me look good.....so i have no doubt that it would make her look good. and yes I have problems.....I have done it before. as a prank. lol.
Nicolette James I've heard she was too. Not sure where I heard it, could be the osmosis affect where info spreads via common interpretation or I've read it somewhere.
My only criticism of this song is the end... She stops singing and then it is this really long period of background sounds... Although it is a very interesting song that I overall enjoy... But the second half of the song is background music while the first half is singing and I generally want them both if possible or at times just background music... But having both and then just background music feels like she took a 5 minute song and wrote 2 1/2 minutes of lyrics...
Actually, that last bit of instrumental is meant to remind the listener of the time frame. That time frame was meant to represent the 3 minutes and six seconds (roughly) that it takes to die by drowning.
@@BestMoth Went to listen to this song again and I remember reading this reply and it changed my opinion on that part of the song since it's a fairly artistic choice... But man, it's been 3 years since these comments happened? Talk about time passing...

ikr? That's why I love her so much😃✌
I agree. I think the problem with a lot of art these days is it tends to go the other way. Kind of coddling.

9thalso that woman was supposedly used as the face of the CPR dummy.
"The pistol.
The poison.
The noose.
Or the knife."
That part gives me chills. Every time.
Guys...think about the lyrics.
"Three Hundred and Six,
In only Six years..
If it was an accident,
Where are the tears?
I am still unidentified,
Behind the cathedral,
Is where my body hides,
But I'm not inside."

MeganBaxter That's what this song is about.
She brought us and taught us the breath of life.
She's known today as the CPR Annie
hoping to go out that way
@xkaix8027 are you still feeling this way?
her ability to give emotions to the story she's telling is immaculate. i love her as much as any artist i know. she is a role model to me.
Her music is Victoriandustrial, which is a genre specific to Emilie's songs that she created.
I think that this is one of (if not the) creepiest songs by her. It's a freaky and depressing story and I love the fact that Emilie uses her amazing talent to bring it into the spotlight.
Still listening in 2019 because it’s still so good 😍😍😍
2020 too 🥺
And 2021
2021 baby
It is C:
Its one of the greatest stories and mysteries ever, and she's a genious for writing this song.

It's kind of like she tried laying those maidens to rest, with such a song. c: she's great
Best quality I've heard on youtube of this song
I always sort of assumed that this song was about L'Inconnue de la Seine, the unknown woman of the Seine.
Which is somewhat macabre in the fact that the image of her death is helping bring life to others. An odd kind of immortality I would venture.
Yes. And she said in that post that she wanted to cut the connection to EA, so that she could pursue her own art or whatever.
That's mean. =( WingedZephyr gave us access to Emilie and it's thanks to her that I came across her music. They're both good fans, and are doing good by spreading the Plague so Emilie can get more exposure and support.
Her shade of red hair reminds me of Mrs.pumpkins comical dream x3 i love her voice so much... never heard another singer like this!
I love her music and she was awesome in The Devils Carnival!!!
I played this on two diferrent windows, around one second apart. Cool eerie echo effect on an already cool song.
Its about the river Seine,in Paris, when they once decided to fetch up all the bodies at the bottom. They found 306.

yep thats true and the unidentified girl had an eerie smile on her face as if she was accepting death peacefully and happily.
Your videos are as good as wingedzephyr's ♥

New favourite song
This song is one of my favourites....
Statisticly speaking the numbers may be low, but when you are talking human libra its hard to measure the impact. A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect as they say.
I won't lie. emilie Autumn has a gorgeous, luminous voice. But damn... her words are brutal.😓💞💖👍
but true..
This is what makes her amazing. She uses the talent she has to speak the truth in the most brutal way. People would never understand if you don't point out things like she does.
my favorite of the bonus songs
This song speaks to me in some weird way.
Do you know your ABC's Alphabet Girl ?

love this!!
holy shit... its scary how much I relate to this.
The chorus reminds me of the poem "Plena Timoris" by Thomas Hardy.
This song blows my mind every time I hear it, for some reason it reminds me of Alice Cooper's 'Pick Up the Bones'
love this song
I love it
Something about this speaks to me but I'm sure why.
what a story :3
lovely
Woah. Her hair looks super bright red.
.... sexy...
I just discovered this..thank you jesus..every song is SPLINDIFERIOUS
I always quote this song in the newer and newer versions of my suicide notes, because I want to drown myself in the river.
same
Wow. Hope you’re still with us.
Go to Google and type in :
L'Inconnue_de_la_Seine
^
That. Then click the wiki.
I heard that gothic lolita is about when emilie herself was raped as young girl, got pregnant years and years, had an abortion and in a result wanted to kill herself.
This song sounds very familiar to the story she wrote in her book...
Whatever she's eating...
it looks delicious.
probably a cookie with pink icing. In the photoshoot there were several sweet things
She wanted to do work as an artist and not to be known for ever for the EA vids, but for her own work.
2024 and here I am...A true RAT!
This song is amazing and i love EA but as im french i didn't undertood all of the lyrics can somebody tell me the meaning of the song ? pls
+lolstrass Which parts do you not understand?
+lolstrass I might be able to explain or translate.
It's a song about an event that happened, I believe in France, where 306 women drowned themselves in a river in the span of six years, the last one who was found was I believe sixteen years old and she was found washed up behind a church.
the three minutes of no lyric is how long it takes for a person to drown and so she put that in to add to the song
starishheart Thank you very much it's way more clear now!
Really?!?! OMG! Where can i read more about this?!?!
Could you please tell me more about that? I'm french and never heard about it, im trynig to do some research but no french websites are able to gimme more informations ^^
306... She knew
Me enamoré
3:40-4:08 reminds me of Tim Burton
I want to have a tea party with emilie autumn
Ich liebe diese Frau
its actually "In only on day" not "early" but its a really good video
2025, still adore this
especially near the second half
i did turn lesbian for EA years ago...and still am :D

i think your hearing instruments that are making it sound like that cause i got to listening and i can hear what your taking about.
Me neither :\ poor girl

That pic of her makes think. If I wore that, I would feel like I would have forgotten something.... Something important. Something like a shirt. I'm glad she can pull it off, though.
what is this song about? ii love it but, what is it about?
It’s about a string of random suicides in France. The long instrumental at the end is intended to represent the time it takes to drown.
Me too ;D
@YandereDoll really can u give me the link for that story
mich auch
Why did wingedzephyr make their videos private???
This song reminds me of Marilyn Manson, strangely.
why did those omen commit suicide?
The * *pistol*, the *poison*, the *noose*, or the *knife* * - why do i pick the knife every time?? Lol 🔪 🔪 ❤ ❤
Dark lyrics
@pinkixtheEMO She wasnt sto do other things.
Why did 306 women kill themselves in only 6 years...so many people...is there some reason?
Aside from it just generally being a really shitty time to be a woman, I don't think there was a broader reason.
Its possible they aren't all suicides. "I am the abandoner."
I took that as a reference to the fact that when you kill yourself, you’re abandoning your friends and family.
Better than wingedzephyr's :)
lol ok thanks
whats this song about?
A Jane Doe who committed suicide in medieval France.
oops meant women....
What's this song about?
***** Ah! Thanks, I love the deeper meaning behind a lot of her songs. I only just actually started listening to her, my friends love her and I've heard several songs.
It's about the mass suicide in Fance
Maybe about Jack the Ripper, its kinda related bit to it tough
+Midnight Shadowolf The title comes from the 306 deaths of the seine river in France. Though, the song is indeed about The unknown woman of Seine.
And the girl that she keeps mentioning, she is now the CPR doll used in First Aid.
Mm She's at the top of my Lesbian list. (Yes, I have list.) My friends worry about me.
You have good taste, she’s gorgeous.
Would turn straight for EA ... (JUSTSAYIN) xD
Lives not libra. Damn phone.

covering myself in blood makes me look good.....so i have no doubt that it would make her look good. and yes I have problems.....I have done it before. as a prank. lol.
With history of hers, I really dont blame her to be asexual...
mrselaisa Asexual? I don't think she's ever said she's asexual.
