hmmm... This song (and the video) is a bit like a german book... The bool is called "Die Leiden des jungen Werther" (The Sorrows of Young Werther) I don't think that this song is based on that book, but it's a good way to explain the meaning of this song, because it tells a similar story: 'The majority of The Sorrows of Young Werther is presented as a collection of letters written by Werther, a young artist of highly sensitive and passionate temperament'(= He is 60% emo and 40% artist)', and sent to his friend Wilhelm.[..]He meets Lotte, a beautiful young girl who is taking care of her siblings following the death of their mother. In spite of knowing beforehand that Charlotte is already engaged to a man named Albert, who is in fact 11 years her senior, Werther falls in love with her.[..]Despite the pain this causes Werther, he spends the next few months cultivating a close friendship with both of them. His pain eventually becomes so great that he is forced to leave and go to Weimar.[..]Out of pity for her friend and respect for her husband, Lotte comes to the decision that Werther must not visit her so frequently.[..]After composing a farewell letter [..], he writes to Albert asking for his two pistols, under a pretense that he is going "on a journey". Lotte receives the request with great emotion and sends the pistols. Werther then shoots himself in the head, but doesn't expire until 12 hours after he has shot himself.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sorrows_of_Young_Werther |
