Terror, pure and uncensored, fills my gut pushing the pile up from my stomach in to my throat, like molten magma spilling forth from the cavernous mouth of a volcano. But there is something else there too; a feeling that I can't identify. But then I realise. It is relief. Relief that the chase is finally over. Relief that I no longer have to run, hide or scream. In a moment, it will all be over.
I was only young when it began. I don't know how young, for I don't know how hold I am. Perhaps I am ancient. Perhaps I am a new born. I know not. But I digress. I know I was out of my crib. I remember that. And I remember my mother; sweet and kind
Because this darkness deep inside
Is slowly eating me alive
I'll say this now
And only once:
I'll miss you and goodbye
May all your happy days be blessed
And all your happiness be set
In stone forevermore
And in the nights
And when I'm gone,
May sadness touch you nevermore
For soon I will have disappeared
As quickly as the winter's snow
For then I will be happy
For then I will be gone
Because the darkness deep inside
Will no longer be eating me alive.

The Phantom of the Opera Translated
Subliminal messages abound in The Phantom of the Opera. Some are so entwined in such carefully constructed, phallic metaphors, that it may be difficult to sift through the passionate web of angst and decipher the lyrics' true meanings. So here, for your clarity, I have provided a translation of some of the musical's most elaborate lyrics. The original lyrics will be italicized, while the translations will not. It is my desire that your next viewing of Phantom should be an enlightened one, and my sincerest hope that these translations will clear up any confusion.
