Cover art for Captain Nemo lyrics by Sarah Brightman

this song is based on the main character of the book "twenty thousand leagues under the sea" and partly in the book "the mysterious island" both by jules verne. the actual name "nemo" is latin for "nobody". in the books he is described as being uninterested in the world and its inhabitants, but still goes out of his way to help anyone in need.

sarah brightman's song romanticizes him as a man with a mysterious underwater world separate from everyone else.

captain nemo's background represents him as prince dakkar, the Hindu son of an Indian rajah, devoting himself to scientific research, develops an advanced electric submarine, the nautilus. he battled injustice, especially slavery.
