I love you first

I don't think this song is a literal caricature or biblical interpretation. To me this song uses symbols and metaphors to articulate the longing and hopelessness of coming to terms with the experience of lost love. Everyone has there own narrative and in our own narrative we play the key, Epic, grand roll. What is more hopeless than your own epic roll going unrecognized in the definitive book of mankind.

@blindingsun wow, long time coming reply. But If you would watch some of the interviews Regina gives about her personal inspirations you will find she draws much from her religious background.

i think, from what i gather, there are two threads to the story she is telling.

one interpretation is the biblical, the story of samsom and delilah, and the second, the more personal story of a friend of hers who had cancer. I think that may be where the lyric you mention doesn't fit.
