| She = beauty. Beauty is suffering. Beauty is torture to those who can never possess it... and of course beauty would be personified as female, but I don't see the song as misogynistic, just a recognition of the darker nature of beauty, the pain and lust and vice it causes among those who "exist within its shadow". she is suffering indeed. | |
