Enigmatic Tales Unveiled: And Also the Trees' 'Shrine'
Lyrics
Material folds
Reference to physical or tangible aspects
>From rough, modest clothes
Transition from coarse, simple clothing
Slabs of cold sacred stone
Blocks of cold, consecrated stone
The peasant girl kneels
A girl from the lower class kneels
In strips of feeble water light
Illumination in weak, narrow streams of water
Slim fingers clasped
Fingers pressed together delicately
Warm steady, precise
Warm, stable, and accurate emotions
The unwanted love for a murder
Unwanted affection for a murderer
In strips of feeble water light
Repetition of line 5, emphasizing the setting
Echoed sighs
Sounds expressing emotions
Soft madonna eyes
Gentle, compassionate eyes like Madonna
Bathe in smooth, flicked flame
Immersed in a soft, flickering flame
The peasant girl kneels
Reiteration of the peasant girl's posture
The peasant girl kneels
Repetition for emphasis
crosses herself slowly
The girl makes a slow religious gesture
The warmth envelopes, seals
Warmth surrounds and seals the moment
But stays as quitely she leaves
The warmth persists as she departs quietly
To love a murder
Reiteration of the challenging love for a murderer
To love a murder
Repetition and emphasis on the complex theme
