I love this song. It describes Gollum perfectly because he used to have such a better life 'till he found the ring and it destroyed him. It shows how he feels betrayed by everybody because they turn him away. The story of Gollum is so sad because he could have such a better life if he could give up the ring, but because it's so corruptive and he'd had it so long before, there's no way he can get away from it. This song describes him feeling that there's no hope left for him and then starting in the second verse how he feels there's no hope for Frodo and Sam either. It makes me sad because there really WAS no hope for him. He wasn't as strong as Frodo and he'd had the ring for at least 500 years, which explains why he looked and acted the way he did. Besides the book and movie meaning, this song makes me think of people in the world who feel betrayed and alone and the ones who feel there's no hope for themselves. For those people I just wanna say: God loves you no matter what, even if you don't beleive he exists at all. He knew when he sent Jesus that not everybody would accept him, but he loved us so much that he sent him anyway. What really gets me is that Jesus CHOSE to go through it all. Jesus said that if he wanted he could call 12 legions of angels to save him. ONE legion is 12,000, so that means there were 72,000 angels waiting for his command. But he still didn't call them. He chose to stay on the cross and die for us because he loved us too much to live without us. I think the people who feel the way Gollum does wouldn't feel that way if they gave their hearts to God, but that's between them and God. To meursaultsrevolver I just wanna say that I think they put Arwen in so many times bcuz they thought people would want to know what happens between her and Aragorn. Not everybody has read the books and they would want to know why she was in one movie and then left out of the others until the end. I guess that's just the way they had to do it. Anyway, I love the books, I love the movies, and I love this song.
