One of the things i really love about this album is the reference to various fairy tales in various songs and via various lyrics. Its refreshing to see inspiration being drawn from other sources. I loved this song the from the first notes in the intro. It really works well and the lyrics are stunning.
Its a warning and a story in one. Kinda like a warning to a close friend who has unwittingly morphed into something that maybe only you as their friend can still recognise and see right through the new disguise and although you dislike what they've become you care about them far too much not to warn them but its easier to do it via metaphor. There are notes of what too much power will do to someone and that the only way to reverse its effects is to "let go brother, let go."
