@[GodzillaFoil:15689] I think this a great analysis of the song. I believe "Velouria" is someone that the writer is infatuated with and maybe only saw once. A women that he constantly comes back to in his mind's eye and perhaps envisions an ideal world where they could be together. The one line that gets me is "even I'll adore you", suggesting that she's so mysterious and graceful that even the writer adores her. This might be telling us something about the writer himself. That maybe he is cynical and usually doesn't see the beauty in people. This woman, on the other hand, encompasses so much wonder (maybe even simply in her appearance alone), that this cynical man can't help, but adore her. I think this is something we do all the time, men and women alike. We see someone that embodies our notion of beauty and we instantly become infatuated and start imagining a separate world where we could meet and fall in love with that person. Even though we may never actually talk to that person in this world. It's superficial yes, but it's also very human. |
