this song is chillingly beautiful, no matter the interpretation.
here's mine: a naive girl swept up in the grandeur of gothicism, living it all through a veil of naïveté. he takes advantage of her childish infatuation, and forgives her for her meaningless playtoys (ex: tarot cards) that he knows are silliness. he doesn't mind that she buys into such foolishness, she is beautiful to him in spite of all that because he is a vampire, and she, his source of life. "you'll bring me youth when i grow old" & "i am your shadow in the dark" & lastly,
