Phantom Of The Opera
Webber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again?
For now I find
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind

Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glance behind
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your mind

Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
It's me they hear
My spirit and my voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind

In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in you
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The phantom of the opera is here
Inside my mind

Sing my angel of music

He's there
The phantom of the opera

Ah
Ah
Ah (sing for me)
Ah (sing my angel of music)




Ah, ah, ah, (sing for me)
Ah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" tells a story of a woman named Christine and her haunting encounter with the Phantom. The opening lyrics reveal that the Phantom comes to Christine in her dreams and calls out to her with his voice, which she recognizes and responds to. She questions whether she is dreaming once again and realizes that the Phantom of the Opera is haunting her thoughts.


The second verse of the song is sung by the Phantom himself, as he compels Christine to sing with him in their strange duet. He acknowledges his power over her and how it grows stronger with each passing moment, despite her attempts to distance herself from him. As he sings, he reveals that the mask Christine fears is not just a disguise, but a part of his identity that he wears proudly.


The final verse is a reflection of the complicated relationship between Christine and the Phantom. Christine is desirable to the Phantom because she embodies the man and the mystery he craves. As they exist in this labyrinth of their own making, the Phantom is always present in their thoughts as a haunting presence. The song concludes with both Christine and the Phantom singing a haunting refrain in unison as the music fades out.

I wonder if I'm dreaming again

I see

Sing again with me like we used to


Our strange duet
Our unique two-person song

They exist within you as well


And in this labyrinth
And in this maze


Where night is blind
Where darkness obscures

The Phantom of the Opera is present here


Inside my mind
I can't get him out of my head


Sing my angel of music
Sing, my angel of music


He's there
He's present

The Phantom of the Opera


Ah
