Lyric discussion by xomom 

you know how you hear the phrase " i would die for him/her" from people who are in love? i think this is kind of an exaggerated story on that phrase... she literally swapped lives with him; she committed her whole existence to him, and then died, as all humans do. i dont think that its that he made her die, per se, more like he absorbed her whole life. i think the cursing she's asking about is his immortality.. as in, will you be here alone when im gone?

i think the most beautiful part is her complete acceptance of her death. no jealousy that he lives on without her, but simply an appreciation of the love they shared.

i think the mummy idea is just an anaolgy for true love, you know how you meet that one person who just sweeps you off your feet and brings you to life, and then basically gives you all of themselves, without hesitation.

its a real gem of a song.
