This is such a beautiful song(but I think all of her songs are beautiful..) and I love that it's a refference to "The Lady of Shalott." Before I read the poem I thought that it might be about sleeping beauty... but now having read the poem, I think Emilie does a great job at kind of giving Lady Shalott a voice and having her point of view in this song. This song is full of emotion and even before I read the poem I felt sad after hearing this song.
But I think this song is all about fate, which is what I like so much about it since I am a firm believer of fate and that certain things are meant to happen. For instance in the lines "'Cause I know I'm the cursed one
I know I'm meant to die."
It also works out perfectly since she is part of a story... so she really is "meant to die" as the author intended.
I also love the line: "But then I could have guessed it all along
'Cause now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me". Again Emilie is giving her a voice and bringing her outside of the poem and adding on to the story. This is wear the story meets reality(Emily writing the song about the lady of Shalott, a fictional character).
