This song is so amazing!

"Your common sense, your best defense, lay wasted and in vain."

This gives me hope that women don't have to be pigeonholed - we can be whatever we want to!

Eigentlich schon eine allgemeingültige Aussage: "..natürlich muss eine Frau praktische Schuhe tragen, die keine Knochen brechen, oder den Fuß missgestalten.."

Thank you for sharing! kind regards

You're right, it does sound like DID.

I still think this could be about reincarnation.

@PsiChoCybia I heard the Carmelite part. I know Carmelites are an order of nuns, and I just thought of the line "get thee to a nunnery."

@allieinthebx64 love the song and all of her music - CD TIGERLILY is just amazing

@kiPiTsiLent

seems to me that Ophelia is really every woman, in many walks of life, from God's bride as a nun to a courtesan , aside from the suicidal shakesperean character - riddled with insanity, using suicide to "forget", or perhaps just a woman with multiple personalities

@Tigerpaw1979 I'm not trying to be mean or anything I just wanted to let you know that the song is actually based off of the character Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet

@candelazul And "Noah's Dove"-fantastic :)

[Tigerpaw1979]

It seems to me this song could be about a woman with DID, or multiple personalities, thus why we see the inmate in the straightjacket. Being that I have DID as well, this is what the song seems to me. Very beautiful and a classic none the less.

@treg1980 She is too thought provoking for mass media attention. The populous wants musical cotton candy.
