Sleeping Beauty

Maybe a different angle, It's been a while. Here goes: When we chose to live, we chose the pain as well as the joy. Our souls desire both. This song was written originally in pain, not at the 'why me, please, please, please' stage, but at the awakening and rebirth. The writer awakens(Delusional) and moves on, its his painful choice. Maybe he stayed because the word soulmate was going through his head, over and over. Perhaps he felt a sense of cosmic responsibilty. He truly loved her. In the awakening, however, he sees that he did not love all of her, he loved the potential her from his perspective. We all have heard the old axiom about our not having the ability to change the unwilling, but, "what if she sees how I love her without limits, and that 'inspires' her to change"(Ego). Well that may be a possibilty, but you-know-who crapped out. She hurt him, I'd say infidelity was involved. This went on for a while. Then he chose to grow and move on. Touching on the 3 libras parallel, there is 1 thing lacking from this song that 3 libras has. It is Serene. It lacks the the sarcasm, anger and raw pain. Just listen to it. Two different angles, both of personal expression and perhaps one last attempt to wake her up. I'm sure she didn't, despite the shoddy fascade of 'lies'. He remains compassionate though, due to the type of awakening. He realizes on some small level why we are here, he aligns his purpose with what small slice of true he sees. He loves her in a larger more powerful way, knows she wont awaken, sings her one last pretty song, and lives on, elsewhere. No need to tell her hurtful things like 'appearantly nothing' anymore (however true that may be). The purpose of love and relationships does not always concern forever. The point of life is to feel, and to love, and to be (aware). There are those we bring into our lives that we recprocate subconcious lessons with, and then move on. That is actually beautiful. It's hard to see, but when we do, it clears the fog, it strengthens the soul. It allows you to see her beauty despite your dark memories, and be calm once again. The storm has passed, the sky is clear, embrace who you are now, sleeping beauty was there for you all along, you were just confused about the roles, you had to be.
