I'm a little late to this party so I guess consider this a journal entry to myself about a beautiful and terrifying song. To me, this song is about the spirit's journey, not necessarily through past lives, but perhaps the same spiritual energy in different people, whatever. Does it matter? Wandering through corridors, all alone, in a house with many rooms. Some full of glory and happiness, some filled with tragedy and suffering. Ophelia is the same being playing all of those roles, wearing those faces, wearing those facades.
Don't we all want to be America's sweetheart, love at first sight? Nobody wants to be so lost and alone as the final Ophelia. I personally fear suffering and meaninglessness so much. Terrifies me, enough for me to seek mindless distraction. To try and forget even the thought of it. To help me to forget.
Merchant poses such an eloquent and moving question. Now what is the answer?
