This song is so brasutiful.
It's about this man, and he has powers - firebreathing. And he fell in love with a girl. But the feelings were not mutual, in fact, she hated him and cursed him, tuning him into a toad.
He was so hurt by her rejection he went through life miserable and inflicting pain unto himself. "I burn and bruise my feet. I spit, I’m naked, ever-hungry, I forget to eat. "
He was numb and wanted to stay that way "I stamp out flowers and I fill my ears with mud. (That way the birdsong will not stir and agitate my blood.) I stare at ugly things. I suffer cuts and stings. It’s been a happy, hopless, curseless ten-years hermitting!"
Then he meets her again one day "But then I smell the air and see her shrivelled there… And though my blood begins to jump and boil, I don’t despair." He tries to stay cool lol
He realizes she's dead and that he always loved her, despite her ruining his life.
So with her body in his arms once more, he kills himself w/ his fire. "I fell in love with her. My tongue is purple-black. I light a bluish rose and heap the flames upon our backs…"
