Reply To: Song lyrics that remind us of Once Upon a Time, season 4

[Sci-Fi Girl]

Thank you WickedRegal! 😀

And, you are so completely right about those lyrics coming from Ingrid! I hadn’t seen the complete lyrics as fitting any one character, but since you pointed it out, I do completely see it as Ingrid’s POV. 😎

And now, looking at it again knowing what we have learned of Ingrid’s past, with Helga, it seems even more perfect. And sad. 🙁

Like this verse, is when she is most afraid of hurting her sisters. Keeping her distance, watching the ball from afar, etc.

There’s a fever burning deep in my bones
Even when I’m with you
I’m on my own

And the lines about the lighthouse and the bandaid, that is the three sisters protecting and supporting each other, before things went wrong. 🙁

Though I still see some of the other fragmented meanings that I had noticed before.

This pair of verses for example:

There’s a darkness to my shadow on the wall
Every time I try to stand
That’s when I fall

There’s a fever burning deep in my bones
Even when I’m with you
I’m on my own

The first makes me think of both Rumple and Regina, telling of their seperate struggles with their darker tendencies. Every time they try to be better people, or to make better lives for themselves, they get knocked down again.

And with that second verse, I think of Rumple. He loves Belle, but he cannot shake his yearning for power. And that makes him feel alone, because it is a selfish desire that he cannot escape.

And then this verse:

Forget what I have done
Sometimes I’ve lost you
Sometimes I’ve won

Just let me do
Everything I can
‘Cause everything I do is for you

This speaks to the stories of several different couples: Snowing, Rumbelle, and maybe even Swanfire. Any of the devoted couples on the show, who’s stories involve repeatedly losing and finding each other again. 🙂 It seems to be a common thread on the show, doesn’t it?
