I think this song holds a connection with Joan of Arc and Eve from the Bible, Joan lead a whole army when she was 19 years old, was very courageous, and died on the end her head was taken off, but even though she died she lead them to victory, I think that she would call on her if she could because she searches for answers and needs courage in some parts of her life, but because of both of their stubborness she wills against it. Then she says that she wishes that she could change the world, and persuade God to not have punished the world for Eve eating the apple, 'God knows I would save you from all this shit!', but then she states that people are all the same so she quites, we all have sin and we deserve the punishment, maby I've got it hectically wrong but thats what I poicked up

My Interpretation

I agree... they all have a significant name, eve - the desiver (she's got tricks up her sleve), Joan of arch - the young (unstabile) courage (the one that needs guidance), marry - the virgin (she's been locked inside her skin).... all parts of a female - but i can't figure out who the heck louise is.... any surgestions

I think she may be referrng to Louise of Savoy. I think there is a story about her which says that she got chilled/a cold whilst watching a comet, which she believed was a sign from god, that she was about to die. She died 3 days later of black death.

Not sure tho - but that'd make a little sense at least.

Its been bugging me to death trying to figure out who the Louise is. I mean obviously she references many woman in history and the bible, but I don't know who the Louise is. Perhaps I will read into the Louise of Savoy that Firen mentioned. Thank you Firen!
