Addendum: She isn't capable of love. "I just sashay from side to side." It makes her uncomfortable when someone expresses love for her. So, she gives them a little shove. It's easier than trying to explain... |

Hrm...nice try Kalki, but I think you have to look a little deeper. I mean come on! This is Hannah Fury! Listen to the tone of the song...sweet..yet sinister. The question is WHY does she "defenestrate" these lovers? Your version doesn't explain why she would have even let the second (or is it the twentieth) guy get close to her. I mean, if she really loved the first one, she could have just worn black the rest of her life. She wouldn't have WANTED to love the next guy..."I want it so". So, why does she do it? Why else? They aren't good enough for her. Maybe they're ugly. Maybe she's ugly and can't attract a good-looking guy. Maybe she is very beautiful and is so in love with herself that nobody she finds is good enough for her. Maybe she is just ugly inside, demented, and can't accept...can't STAND... that anyone could love her. She seems to fondly remember "the room underneath the bell", holding hands, talk of hummingbirds...perhaps her first experience of "love". Alas..."Things were just better inside of you"...Better inside of you than inside of me? Or, better inside of you than outside of you? I think the former. Maybe he was too GOOD for her. "That's when everything changed" Of course! Pushing someone who loves you to their death...now that's a life-changing experience. Probably made it easier the next time though...even necessary. She obviously isn't going to settle for someone who "wants to walk straight down the line" and is "so sweet". So, my advice: don't turn your back on this girl. |

Kalki, I like your analysis of the song. I hadn't considered that the first part is about Sarima. I can see that, with the part about folding up his clothes. But I wondered who the "she"s and who the "I" in the song are... Sometimes, it seems to me like Glinda could be singing and reflecting about her own involvement in Fiyero's death (I think she had him killed). She is saying to bury the switchblade, and keep silent. I think "she loved him, you know" is refering to our dear Elphaba. I think the "I" in the song is Glinda, asking herself if all the voilence is really over. Or perhaps asking if the deed (killing Fiyero) is done. Or maybe he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time...I dunno. But Hannah surely expresses the torment that Elphaba felt, years of it. It's very sad. She was so alone. OK I'm going to cry now. |
