My Medea

Artist: Vienna Teng

Album: Warm Strangers (2003)

Lyrics

inside the labyrinth walls

there lies a tiny child who sleeps alone

and as the daylight falls

the wind becomes so wild across the stone

for I have made her prison be

her every step away from me

and this child I would destroy

if you tried to set her free

so come to me my love

I'll tap into your strength and drain it dry

can never have enough

for you I'd burn the length and breadth of sky

for it's my thoughts that bind me here

it's this love that I most fear

and this child I would destroy

for I hold her pain most dear

no haven for this heart

no shelter for this child in mazes lost

heaven keep us apart

a curse for every mile of ocean crossed

for I must die for what I've done

a twist of fate a desert sun

for I see what I destroy

sweet reflection knife into me

for I see what I destroy

I can see what I've begun

This song reminds me of the Labyrinth, strangely enough.

I feel...the lyrics could have used a more varying melody. it's beautiful but it gets repeated too much. And the piano accompaniment could have been a pattern with more feeling in it... she sings it beautifully though...

I feel like this would be a song about Medea (the tiny child) trapped in the labyrinth and the Minotaur is secretly in love with her and wants her to always be with him but they can never be together together because he is a monster.

This is like the song that plays whenever some Romeo and Juliet, "no one understands us" teen couple breaks up on the CW before the ending credits.

I like to compare this song to The Shining. "Inside the labyrinth walls," "No shelter for this child lost," in the movie, the climax was Jack chasing Danny through a hedge maze. "Thi child I would destroy," Jack tried to kill his son, Danny. "for you I'd burn the length and breadth of sky," The book ended with the hotel exploding in flames with Jack in it.

Vienna's music is so gorgeous ^^. Her lyrics are honestly some of the most poetic songs lyrics I've come acrosss in quite awhile. I have a similar voice range to her too so I can actually sing along to her songs without sounding off key XD.
