I find this song (more specifically the excerpt below) as particularly relevant to our discussion on Wednesday regarding the Minuet-turned-Madhouse. I'm having a hard time articulating it, but the very deliberate movement of the song is almost representative of the minuet, while the words express the insanity of the situation, in a sort of odd fusion of both in one instance (sort of how incongruent the music felt during the first part of the film in relation to the narrative track).
Enjoy (bang your head)!
My fears behind me, what can I do
My dreams haunt my sleep at night
Oh no, won't learn their lesson, white fills my eyes
And only then they see the light
My dreams haunt my sleep at night
Oh no, won't learn their lesson, white fills my eyes
And only then they see the light
Trapped in this nightmare, I wish I'd wake
And my whole life begins to shake
Four walls surround me, an empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze
And my whole life begins to shake
Four walls surround me, an empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze
And I don't care, fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt, help me
I can't take the blame
I don't feel the shame
Gone without a doubt, help me
I can't take the blame
I don't feel the shame
'Cause it's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
I am insane?
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
I am insane?
