PotO - "Familiar Taste of Poison" (Erik ♥ Christine) Phantom of the Opera

PLEASE READ – (Iyrics below) – Another cool song that fits them so well – story follows lyrics, told in Christine’s POV. Here is some of the symbolism meaning: The “poison” is the danger that is Erik, and when I show her drinking it – it’s to symbolize her choosing what he has to offer/drinking him in. Friends tell her he is dangerous and to stay away, and she knows they are probably right – but Christine is drawn to him for so many reasons, despite the danger, and makes her choice. “but the roses drain my inspiration” was a toughie to fit into this fandom, but I think I figured a way (lol) – the inspiration is her desire for other things (like Raoul) and in doing so, excluding Erik from her life (as she knows she should) – but the roses he sends her remind her of being with him and drain any former decision to forget him in her life… “The promises were spoiled before they left your lips…” – refer to Raoul and the promises he made her – which barely seem to matter after Erik’s own vows to her.
