hmm... abracadavre...
well, first off, i know that the word abracadavre means raising the dead in a simplified way, but it literally means "magic corpse".
the lyrics... ah the lyrics. yet the song itself is an interesting topic all on its own. the song is focused on samantha's state of mind throughout these events, like 115, but 115 was more focused on her anger towards richtofan and the death of her father. However, Abracadavre is more about her mental state thoughout her life, and how she even views herself.
THE LYRICS:
the first and second verses are both riddles. "I can fly like a bird, not in the sky, which can always swim yet always dry." what flies like a bird and swims in the water, yet never leaves the ground, and never gets wet? lets hear som more... "say goodbye at night and morning hi. i'm a part of you: what am i?" what goes away during the night and returns in the morning, and is a part of you (including the first example above)? YOUR SHADOW!
the second verse goes something like this: "i am what men love more than life; fear more than death or mortal strife" What do men love more than life, yet fear more than death or strife? we need to hear a little more: "what dead men have and rich require; i'm what contented men desire." what do dead men have that rich men do not? what do contented, or happy men want? the answer is NOTHING. men love NOTHING more than life and fear NOTHING more than death or strife. Dead men have NOTHING and rich men need NOTHING. and happy men desire NOTHING. make sense? well, if not, i can't explain further.'
ELENA'S VOCALS:
when she says the lines: "i can see tha damage that i am causing you is so benign" she means that she is aware that she's causing you pain, but she believes its not important. she does not care for your pain.
when she says: "you want me to be gone, but i have just be-GUN!!!" she is saying that even if you try to force her to stop her actions, she has not been satisfied and has 'just begun'.
"i am the only one undone!! i'm a broken miracle now-!" i interpret this as her more evil side (hence the louder, angrier voice) saying that she's the one who is in pain and nothing can be done to stop her wrath.
CHORUS:
here's a major part to the song: the chorus of the song basically stating that samantha isn't sure if she's really there, if she's just s SHADOW, or NOTHING at all (riddles?). she also states theat she thinks all the pain is just inside her head. this is an important line which states how she decides to either fade away like a forgotten spirit, or try and exact her revenge i=on Richtofan and the gang.
probably the most simple sections of the song is the bridge. she states: "these shackes they come with certain opertunities" which means that even though she has no hope of being anything but a spirit in geat pain, she has the power to try and kill richtofan. she also states that she is "wretched but powerful". this means that even isf she is so horrible, being dead, she does however have incredible power, the ability to raise the dead and attack richtofan with endless waves and hordes of the undead.
well, thats what i think; feel free to reply and share your opinions with me. adios...
