Mmm....I'm getting sleepy, so I won't say much.

-I have a feeling that, the way you're saying it, it instead says more about Summer becoming evil, or at least changing sides, more than being actually dead.

-Death is never what it seems...sure, it's the end of your life, but is that bad? For many, it's a moment of release from the pain and torture. Also, I think I should mention in this regard the Tarot, more specifically the Major Arcana.

There are 22 Arcanas in the Major Arcana, starting from the Fool (0) to the World (21). Each card represents different things, and put in order, they are meant to represent the journey of one's life, from start to finish. Yet, Death is at the half of it. Why? Because the Death Arcana doesn't mean "You die", but rather it means the end of your previous life, and the start of another one. In other words, change, metamorphosis, for better or worse.

Thus, alluding more to the possiblity of Summer changing either sides or alignment.

-Take the lives of those you need...not necesarily the government. In Red Like Roses pt2, "Ruby" says how she was the one who needer her (Summer), and Summer says how she (Ruby) wasn't the only one who needed her. As such, we could say that was also the case with Summer. She needed her family and friends, just like Ruby needed her (at least, according to the song). And whatever change she got now, may force her to take the lives of her loved ones sooner or later.

"Reap the seed" in particular, could mean Summer having to kill Ruby.

-The 3rd verse can be taken as a "Fall from grace, into evil/darkness/villainy/whatever", alas, a change of sorts. "The moon will sadly watch the roses die"...she may be forced to kill her family (including the Roses), and with her very-apparent death, you could say Summer's Rose...died.

-The 4th verse, could be seen as Summer not-really "liking" the things she may be forced to do, and herself refusing to "Fall". What do I mean by this? That Summer, following this theory, is not a villain, nor a hero. She's an Anti-Hero.

Now, going to sleep.
