Cover art for Ophelia lyrics by Natalie Merchant

i think this has to do with multiple personality disorder and telling us ophelia's characters and how she cannot be helped, how she was left alone, not helped or anything like the melody in the background if you listen it sort of sounds like a carnival background or something, towards the end of the song before the different languages come up, so yeah.

another thing to add if anyone has seen the movie Sybil at the very end of that even her name wasnt her name. it's just curious as why ophelia kept her name with all her characters. Even in MPD sometimes people are able to speak different languages super fluent and other extraordinaire.

So yeah!!!! You definitely hit it!!!!!

your comparing reality, sybil, with fiction, Ophelia, cured your curiosity?
