A Blood Red Dream
Magica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
printesa Alma si-a pus o dorinta."
I remember how it all began
Alone in the dark, trapped in the castle walls
I heard a voice and wanted to run
But something inside me answered the mystic calls
There it was, on the wall, the old mirror
"I can give you eternal beauty
If you reach my hand and pull me out
I can sell you a dream in red for just a kiss
Pull me out !
I can give you whatever you want
But don't leave me inside
Don't leave me inside this trap
I can change the rest of your life, you just get me out
It's just a little step"
"Si Alma elibera demonul care ii oferi printr-un sarut tot ceea ce ii promisese :
Un vis in rosu sangeriu."
The lyrics are from the perspective of a princess called Alma who is trapped in a castle. She hears a voice from the old mirror on the wall, which offers her eternal beauty in exchange for freeing it from the wall trap. The voice promises to give her whatever she wants but asks her to pull it out of the trap. Alma is tempted and decides to do so, which releases a demon who offers her a dream in blood red. She kisses the demon, and it provides her with what it had promised.
The song seems to be about temptation, where the princess Alma is lured by the demon's promises of eternal beauty and a dream in red in exchange for free. The lyrics also suggest that the demon is a metaphor for the princess's deepest desires, and she needs to confront them to be truly free. The dream in red could symbolize fame, fortune, or any other worldly desire that one might have.
Overall, the song's message is about how sometimes in life, we are tempted to make deals that seem too good to be true, and we need to be cautious about making choices that might lead us down the wrong path.
