To me, it sounds very theatrical - I can almost picture it as an opera onstage. There were quite a few references to the cover art - "a lady in the brightest white" and "a snowy owl above the haunted waters." The cover art hit the feel of this song right on the mark. There's sort of a Phantom of the Opera thing going on with a woman falling for some sort of demonic-type being and then realizing how terrible he is. I really don't get the last verse though, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the song, unless the demon and the woman both died and everyone else is rebuilding or something...maybe I've just seen too much theatre. |
