Masquerade! Paper faces on parade --- Masquerade! Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
I just got back from yet another date with a girl I'm not attracted to. Why do I subject myself to this? For the record, she asked me this time.
We watched the Phantom of the Opera. I have forgotten how much I loved that movie. As a kid I had the biggest crush on Christine. I loved her long hair.
The Music of the Night gives me the shivers every time I listen to it. I mean come on- it's a man with a beautiful voice who thinks he's a monster who wears a mask to hide his face and sings about a forbidden love he will never experience. And the song is just so dark and secretive and sensual. It makes me die every time I hear it.
I could blog all night about the symbolism of the mask. And of forbidden love. Instead I'll let you do the thinking for yourself.
You know, I have always clung to this hope that I would be cured- these horrible feelings ripped from me. I have now accepted that they will be with me for the rest of my life. I'm ok with that now.
Pitiful creature of darkness --- What kind of life have you known? God give me courage to show you you are not alone.

Yes, that music and those lyrics are amazing.

Just simply beautiful.
Good music. Hm.. Yes. :)
And I'm glad you're coming to the point you can stop hating yourself for the feelings you have. So many people can't!
Dang, now I want to go watch that movie again! And pay more attention to the symbolism this time :)
