someone else's beauty doesn't take away yours.
when I’m reading this
I’ve made it through one of the
toughest years of my life so far
I went to my limits
and broke them by going further
I was beaten down
but I stood up again
I thought I found the one
but I was only one of many
I loved and I lost
I’ve given everything
but everything was not enough
I didn’t feel at home in my own house
because I’ve lost the arms and
the laughter I’ve called my home
there were times when I felt better
than I’ve ever felt before
and afterwards I fell on the ground
I‘ve laughed harder than ever
and cried til my eyes burned
I’ve worked hard and I succeeded
and I’ve never been more afraid
at the end of this year
I didn’t feel like I’ve lived
but only that I survived
it was a constant rush
endless ups and downs
a rollercoaster year
but I‘m still here
and I’m going nowhere
cause I will never let anyone or anything
interfere with my own life
I’m a fighter
and in the end I will always make it
and I can be proud of myself
- rollercoaster year
My father recently passed away and I’m the kind of person that has a hard time saying goodbye. Just like letting go. That’s something that I need to learn. I wasn’t raised to be religious, but I hope there’s something there after this life. I would love that, seeing your loved ones again.

There are so many different styles of metal bands with a female singer, so just saying 'female-fronted metal' doesn't say anything about how the band sounds nowadays, so I think that term is outdated. I don't think it's disrespectful, but it's just saying that there's a female in the band. It's not saying what kind of style of metal a band is. I'm also not a big fan of namings, because EPICA has many different influences. The main influence is, of course, movie soundtracks, but it has some death metal, it has progressive metal. There's a lot of different styles woven into our music, but I don't feel like 'female-fronted metal' is trying to be diminishing [to] the band, or being anti-women or anything. I've always felt very comfortable in the male-dominated world. I prefer working with men, because men are very straightforward. Plus, I can totally win in the dirty jokes corner. I can stand my ground.
Simone Simons on whether she feels the term "female-fronted" is empowering or restrictive nowadays (2018)
For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. - Psalms 135:5
