Terrified of poverty and tempted by Hades' vast wealth, Eurydice has abandoned the man she truly loved, and who loved her back, to instead become the cruel king’s mistress. In this song, Eurydice realizes and regrets her mistake.
[EURYDICE]
What I wanted was to fall asleep
To close my eyes and disappear
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air
Lily white and poppy red
I trembled when he laid me out
"You won't feel a thing," he said, "When you go down"
Nothing gonna wake you up now
Dreams are sweet until they're not
Men are kind until they aren't
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
Is anybody listening?
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
Nothing
Nothing gonna wake me now
Flowers, I remember fields of
Flowers, soft beneath my heels
Walking in the sun
I remember someone
Someone by my side
Turned his face to mine
And then I turned away
Into the shade
You, the one I left behind
If you ever walk this way
Come and find me lying in the bed I made
