Amy lee (lead singer) sings about suicide in "tourniquet". when she says "I tried to kill the pain but only brought more" it means she cut her wrist and thought it would stop her pain but now her pain hurts even more than it did. and when she says " my god my tourniquet return to me salvation" she is saying god be my tourniquet and save me from the road to hell and place my feet on the road to salvation (heaven). for those of you who don't know what a tourniquet is it is when your bleeding to death and you use a bandanna or a belt to tightly wrap around the upper part of your arm to block the blood from draining.

First things first, it is not right to commit suicide. That is our flesh. I believe this song talks a lot about choice. Choosing to die or choosing everlasting life through the Saviour. I lay dying and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal. At this point she could mad at herself, the blood being the crismson regret and betrayal meaning she betrayed everything she believed in...God. I'm dying, praying bleeding and screaming. If you think about this...this is a very ugly situation to where you finally did what you wanted to do and took it too far and now your praying that because you did it there's not a lot of time now and you wish you could get it back. Am I too lost to be saved? Am I too lost? At this point, she knows that she is lost and a sinner and she is bound for Hell because of that. My God, My tourniquet, return to me salvation. She is asking for forgiveness. She is asking God to come into her heart and bring salvation. Now, she is saying return to me salvation. So I'm not sure if she was doubting her salvation-going down a broken path in her life...or if she meant 'God come into my heart so that I may be saved.' That can be taken many ways. Yes, committing suicide is a sin. But if you have been saved by the grace of God than he doesn't see that sin. Therefore if you are saved and you commit suicide you are not bound for Hell. Just like it's not right to murder someone but if you asked the Lord to forgive you of your sins...you are going to heaven. But it's our flesh and the rotten devil that make us think sad, crazy thoughts about ourself and we might always make the right decisions. The Devil plays off of feelings..he puts thoughts in your head and watches you react to those feelings...most of the they are bad feelings. Suicide is a form of self-pity. Just like depression is. I suffer it when I think it, but I can't just sit there in my self-pity. It's time to make something of my life. But I wouldn't be anywhere without God. I highly suggest if you are unsure that you are saved..it's best that you drop to your knees and ask God forgiveness and for salvation. It is very important to know where you are spending eternity.
