THE CHEMISTRY CANNOT BE PREDICTED: WE CANNOT KNOW WHAT WE WANT IN ADVANCE
I agree with the Frankenstein inspiration but i still think we ought to try to translate the inspiration for the song into some form of interpretation for the song :
Here’s what i think : (wonder what you think ?)
The point is the potential disparity between the IDEA and the REALITY of a DREAM or DESIRE : I am talking BIG dreams/ desires: the things that we YEARN for or tell everyone we are dying for: A new life in a new country, a new job, a dream lover. There is something to be learned from knowing that an IDEA is rarely a sure guarantee of the eventual REALITY:
Frankenstein was an IDEA to create F but the REALITY was so far from the IDEA. In the song the warning of such a disparity between IDEAS and eventual REALITIES is applied to a love relationship (as opposed to creating human life).
So the warning is :
you might dream or desire strongly to have this big love story (IDEA) but be careful since NOBODY ever knows anyone fully until the idea is actually tried out and you both get to know each other (REALITY). Essentially, how can you know what a relationship can be in advance !
Unfortunately in life, we do often make this mistake, we run to love for either looks or security thinking the IDEA will make the REALITY, but after enough real life experiences, we learn that we just cannot ever know what we really want in advance, the ‘chemistry’ cannot be predicted (as in the story of Frankenstein)

Not quite sure what you mean as there is no point in having any ambition, any thought or any want if one cannot achieve at least part of that ambition. Your thoughts above seem very nilhilistic, and (sorry if I have spelt that wrong) I am not sure if people cannot have what they want - otherwise what would be the point at all? I am very positive and do not let negativity get in my way. I think goals and self determination are important and that it is only in having a personal goal and self...

This is obviously held firmly in a place and time. Some people have a different back ground, different skills, different abilities and different outlooks and these all affect not only who were are but the outcome of above.
Reality is beautiful and every time I look out the window at the beautiful world and see trees and fields; I am reminded that I am fortunate enough to live in a time and place where I can see such things.
I wish you luck in your life and that the individual hopes, dreams and goals that you may have - show you a way that you can achieve what you wish.
