The Fair Lady
Unveiling Desires: The Enigmatic Tale of The Fair Lady
Lyrics
The Lady smiles as you look into her face;
The Lady expresses a welcoming demeanor as you gaze at her.
She opens up her arms to you awaiting your embrace.
She extends her arms, inviting you to embrace her.
What is your desire? Fame, or love, or gold?
Asks about your desires—fame, love, or gold.
It's there in her hand, my friend
Indicates that what you desire is within her hand.
But answer if you can, my friend
Challenges you to answer what you are reaching out to hold.
What are you reaching out to hold?
Asks for clarification on your intentions.
CHORUS
Chorus—describing the atmosphere with beasts, demons, and a singing midwife.
Beasts and demons laugh and yell,
Beasts and demons react with laughter and yelling.
The lonely midwife sings
A lonely midwife is singing amidst the chaos.
They dance about like puppets
Depicts a scene of dancing puppets manipulated by the Lady.
But the Lady works their strings
Attributes control of these entities to the Lady.
Through a door that leads to a fire blazing red
Introduces a door leading to a fiery realm.
Where she makes no distinctions 'tween the living and the dead.
States that the Lady makes no distinctions between the living and the dead in this fiery place.
She can find your secret madness, she knows your secret name;
The Lady can discern your hidden madness and knows your secret name.
What demons do you hide, my friend?
Questions the demons concealed within you.
What creatures lurk inside, my friend?
Asks about the creatures lurking inside you.
To her, you know, it's really all the same.
States that to the Lady, it's all the same—revealing the Lady's impartiality.
CHORUS
Chorus—reiteration of the chaotic scene with beasts, demons, and the Lady's control.
All your hungers there to sate, all your thirsts to slake
Everything you hunger for and thirst to satisfy is available, but the consequences are unclear.
Look what you've been given, you can't see what she'll take.
Highlights the uncertainty of what the Lady might take despite what you've been given.
Who can ever know her heart, who will ever tell?
Raises the question of understanding the Lady's heart and finding someone to reveal it.
No one will believe, my friend
Asserts that no one will believe what the Lady offers or what you'll experience.
All that you'll receive, my friend
Emphasizes the disbelief surrounding what you'll receive from the Lady.
Before she locks you in your private Hell.
Before being confined to your private Hell, alluded to as a consequence of dealings with the Lady.
CHORUS (2x)
Chorus—repetition of the chaotic scene, suggesting a cyclical nature of the Lady's influence.
