I believe that this song is about a real part of Natalie's life: her birth as an artist. In the song she evolves from creating memories, to piano practice, to translating the Italian opera's vengeful role of Amneris into a jackal-headed woman thus creating art of art. Internalizing it all, she is on the verge of transitioning into what she will become.
I'm of two minds as to the title, either it's about Verdi not just writing about passion, he feels it and she feels it, it's a part of her; or as I like to believe, that Verdi's cry is the happy cry of knowing that an artist is born (the happy father).

She is truly a genius - beautiful!
