As odd as it might be, this song makes me think of so many different things: Equus (the play by Peter Shaffer), that old animated film about the boy who makes a snowman that comes to life and flies him to the north pole, The Master and Margarita (mostly when Margarita is being taken to Satan's Ball), and of course, Joan of Arc.
I think all that just goes to show Natasha knows how to tap into really strong mythic, iconic imagery but still make it her own. How many other people can get away with singing about being the chosen one these days? ;)
