This is a great explanation of the song lyrics, but a positive one. If it isn't positive then I think that Regina may be referring to a man that was her Samson, and because he loved her he was willing to be vulnerable. In the song she cuts his hair in his sleep, like to hurt him, to take his strength away. Maybe to exploit his weakness and because he didn’t care she saw that he may have had strength in many other ways but was powerless against her (unconditional love). It seems as if she left him after she conquered him. She loved him first, and then she found away to lose it. I’ve always felt this song was heartbreaking, but beautiful in how these decisions torment her. |
