this song is way deeper than just being about the Edward Mordrake story. it is wreathed in the same theme of obsession that is in many of the "alice" tracks. though truly horrifying are the images of a man with a face on the back of his head the "was it a woman's face or a young girl" line suggests he can never escape from the one he loves but can never have and it just leads to madness and tragedy. the entire song is just an eerie metaphor
