| The Tear Garden – Valium Lyrics

This is about a lover who is borderline abusive and the only thing she can do to get through these episodes of pain he puts her through is by taking mental Valium, by diverting her attention elsewhere and deny what is happening to her at that moment. |

This is not only talking about reliving a traumatizing event, but seeming to relive the same things in life over and over again. |

| Barzin – Building A House Lyrics

I think this song describes that moment where you realize a person has changed into someone tired, crippled, and old emotionally. For some reason I picture this being written about a parent. |

| Epica – Sensorium Lyrics

I definately agree that this song is discussing the meaning of life and the purpose of human existance.
"I’m not afraid to die
I’m afraid to be alive without being aware of it"
The way this particular line is written implies that there is also a fear of wasting the mysterious space of life we are given. |

I always thought it was about two people who were deeply physically attracted to one another. The narrator then realizes that she is in love with him to the point of obsession. |

The Lady of Shallot is my favorite poem by far. Emilie's interpretation is very literal but I still love it. She makes the main character come alive with realistic emotions. |

One of my favorite Emilie songs. Very blantant references to Ophelia in this one. One of my favorite Shakespearean characters! |

| Emilie Autumn – Marry Me Lyrics

I'm pretty sure I'd have to agree with NoxAria and say that if there is a specific reference she was going for, it would be Catherine Howard. Henry was said to be quite handsome when he married Anne Boleyn. She was falsely accused of adultery and incest as an excuse for Henry to get rid of her. Catherine was executed for cheating as well, only in her case she had in fact commited adultery. She was also the most frivilous of his wives.
As for Marie Antoinette, only the chorus really matches her. She actually loved her husband. Not to mention Louis would not be looking for someone younger. As far as I know he was famous for being shy and hardly (if ever) had any mistresses. |
