about

Inspired by Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's drama Hamlet. This song is about mental health, and how not taking action over our own mind/body can in the long term lead us to a life of disgrace and sadness. This song is a highly reflexive effort of the artist to not enter the overwhelming madness that Ophelia suffered (because of Hamlet) and that ultimately led her to her drawing. In the chorus of the song, the artist describes how Ophelia tries to convince her of taking that same path as her using some “mad” but sweet melodies. However, ultimately the artist pleads to her mother to give her the strength to endure the grief that invades her.

lyrics

Ophelia was lying there
Afraid of what might come
Oh Sweet Cold Water
Guiding her to come Home

She speaks to me
Tempting me to be free
That sweet melody in my head
She speaks to me
Tempting me to be free

Ophelia was hangin’ there
With her anger always in the air
Oh Dear Mother
Help her to get somewhere
Somewhere safe
Down there, where she doesn’t care

She speaks to me
Tempting me to be free
That sweet melody in my head
She speaks to me
Tempting me to be free

She speaks to me
Tempting me to be free
That sweet melody in my head
She speaks to me
