Even In Death

I'm sure alot of you have had this same opinion about this song, when I first heard this and read the lyrics i immediately could see it the story behind the words, i can just see the images that the woman in this story sees.

"give me a reason to believe that you're gone i see your shadow, so i know they're all wrong moonlight on the soft, brown earth it leads me to where you lay they took you away from me but now i'm taking you home"

She is seeing things in the first two lines of this song. She keeps on imagining that her husband or lover is still there hes alive and well walking around the house. no matter how many times her family or friends try to convice her that he was dead he was not coming back. But yet she just doesnt see that.

next you see her standing before the path that leads her to her lovers grave, the full moon high above her lighting her way. She is quite pissed off at her friends and family for burying him and thinks that she should finally take him home. So She takes a shovel and digs up his grave and takes his body home with her.

"i will stay forever here with you, my love the softly spoken words you gave me even in death our love goes on"

So she takes him home and keeps his decomposing body there and she hears the words he may have said to her before he died. And she knows that death can't keep them apart and she will still love him even if it is his corpse.

"some say i'm crazy for my love, oh, my love but no bonds can hold me from your side, oh, my love they don't know you can't leave me they don't hear you singing to me"

people are now seeing that she has become insane and a necrofeliac. So they try taking him away again but she wont let them. She thinks that they cant understand that he can't leave her side. And pretty much shes imagining that hes singing to her and that he is still breathing even though he isn't.

"i will stay forever here with you, my love the softly spoken words you gave me even in death our love goes on

and i can't love you any more than i do"

She seems to come to w realization that even though hes dead she gives him the same amount of love she had when he was alive. but eve nstill she cannot accept his death.

i will stay forever here with you, my love the softly spoken words you gave me even in death our love goes on

and i can't love you any more than i do. People die, but real love is forever"

By the end of this song I think she finally realizes that he is dead an she has come to terms with it. By using the line from The Crow. So she cotninues to live wit hthe corpse of her dead lover and not to let go of it even if she has to die to stay with him.
