The Swan Song

Description

Yay, my first ever photomanipulation! This is my interpretation of the song The Swan Song, by Within Temptation.
An entry for the Within Temptation Contest [link] hosted by [link]


Interpretation
The myth goes that when a swan dies, it sings one final song, the swan song. What's also often said about swans, is that they mate for life and mourn the loss of their partner when they die.

Knowing this and by listening closely to the lyrics, it became clear to me what this song is about. It's about dying, to be freed of all pain and the hope of being reunited with lost loved ones. I tried my best to convey those ideas into this photomanip ^^


Lyrics
Winter has come for me, can't carry on.
The chains to my life are strong but soon they'll be gone.
I'll spread my wings one more time.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.

In my heart I know I can let go.
In the end I will find some peace inside.
New wings are growing tonight.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.

As I am soaring, I'm one with the wind.
I am longing to see you again, it's been so long.
We will be together again.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.
