Fairy Tale

Shaman's 'Fairy Tale' is a song that weaves a narrative of loss, longing, and the bittersweet nature of life. The lyrics open with a Latin prayer, invoking Jesus as the savior of the world and asking for help for those redeemed by his precious blood. This sets a solemn and spiritual tone for the song, suggesting themes of salvation and redemption.

The 'fairy lady' in the song is a metaphorical figure standing on the walls, perhaps symbolizing someone waiting for something that is no longer attainable. The stars dimming with the dawn could represent the fading of hope or the passing of time. The song tells a story of love lost, with the 'fairy lady's' love being long gone, and the realization that what she waits for will not return. The repetition of 'Oh, life is good' juxtaposed with the sadness of the lyrics suggests a sense of irony or a forced reassurance in the face of sorrow.

The latter part of the song shifts to a more personal narrative, with the speaker expressing overwhelming grief that feels like it could flood an ocean. The imagery of being alone and trying to mend a broken heart is powerful and evocative. The song concludes with a somewhat comforting thought that the lost love has transformed into something eternal, becoming one with the stars, offering a glimmer of solace amidst the pain of loss.
