Don't go by what someone else says the song should mean to you! And does that someone that told you live in Ethiopia or is he/she in a country where one can get an education, samara? I find nothing to suggest anyone dies. Quite a retarded notion. What caught my interest in this discussion is the possibility of her heart being occupied by her love for her father. I believe this is likely not what the author suggests, You all are focusing too much on the fairy tale. Why write a song only about a story that has already been told? The song is about love in a more general sense. Another reason I have come to this conclusion is that there are more allusions than the one just to the movie. The line about the oceans fair expanse is from another fairy tale, The Light Princess" Perhaps the mirror of sin is from Snow White? Anyway, if you read The Light princess (spoiler warning) a prince that is willing to die for a princess says that the world, his soul, and her hart, (which cannot feel love before his death breaks a curse), would be "If the world without a glance... if love cannot flow in thee". This refers to his feeling love in general, but she say that his love cannot be for her as her "heart is occupied" by another. The next stanza describes that the Beast believes no one will love him as he is beastly. The Beauty then says that however cruel the mirrors which indulge the sin of vanity, beauty is in ones character. Her offer to comfort his pain, from the wind and rain that comes from the superficial world, suggests that though his love for her must die she still cares about him and will maintain a friendly relationship. This is no comfort for he will always desire her in the primal way a predatory wolf desires it's gentle feminine pray. |
