This song is about a man who adopts the identity of a woman who wrongfully died in the past. Anastasia, was the daughter of the Czar who was overthrown during the Russian revolution. She was (probably) killed with the rest of the Russian monarch. The myth that she escaped is possibly significant. Even if she hadn't escaped physically, her personality lives on through the man she has reached.
