The point of no return

"PHANTOM:
Past the point of no return
No backward glances
Our games of make-believe are at an end

Past a thought of “if” or “when”
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend

What raging fires shall flood the soul
What rich desire unlocks its door
What sweet seduction lies before us

Past the point of no return
The final threshold
What warm unspoken secrets
Will we learn
beyond the point of no return

CHRISTINE: You have brought me
To that moment when words run dry
To that moment when speech disappears
Into silence
Silence

I have come here
Hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind I'’ve already imagined
Our bodies entwining
Defenceless and silent
Now I am here with you
No second thoughts
I'’ve decided
Decided

Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion-play has now at last begun

Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait before we're one?

When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud burst into bloom
When will the flames of lust consume us

BOTH: Past the point of no return
The final threshold
The bridge is crossed
So stand and watch it burn
...We'’ve passed the point of no return

PHANTOM: Say you'’ll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude

Say you'’ll want me
With you here
Beside you
Anywhere you go
Let me go too
Christine that’s all I ask of… "



"PHANTOM: Down once more to the dunge
on of my black despair!
Down we plunge to the prison of my mind!
Down that path into darkness deep as hell!
(...)

MOB: Track down this murderer!
He must befound!
Track down this murderer!

(...)

CHRISTINE: The tears I might have shed
for your dark fate
Grow cold, and turn to tears of hate...

RAOUL: Christine, forgive me, please forgive me
I did it all for you, and all for nothing

CHRISTINE: Pitiful creature of darkness,
what kind of life have you known?
God, give me courage to show you you are not alone...

MOB:Track down this murderer - he must be found!
Who is this monster, this murdering beast?
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!
Revenge

PHANTOM: Take her…
Forget me…
Forget all of this…
Leave me alone…
Forget all you've seen…
Go now… don't let them find you!
Take the boat…
Swear to me never to tell
The secret you know of the angel in hell!
Go… Go now, go now and leave me!
Masquerade… Paper faces on parade
Masquerade… Hide your face, so the world will never find you...
Christine, I love you...

CHRISTINE:Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime

RAOUL:Say the word and I will follow you...

CHRISTINE: Share each day with me each night, each morning...

PHANTOM: You alone can make my song take flight
It's over now, the music of the night... "

Banda sonora do filme Fantasma da Opera, a banda sonora é exactamente a parte audio do filme, o que faz algum sentido uma vez que o filme é um musical. Um filme que adorei!
Este post tem estado a ser montado ha cerca de 2 semanas (entretanto cheguei a fazer outros) e acabou por ser publicado num dia mais apropriado. Afinal este vai com um bocado da alma e teve de levar uma grande parte da musica seguinte... a faixa que tinha escolhido revelou-se insuficiente. Talvez entre na historia deste blog como um dos mais longos posts, mas, 'as vezes, as "palavras sao como pedras" e nao sao nunca suficientes! Dai ser tao dificil fazer excertos, com medo de os tirar do contexto.
Estas faixas sao relativas ao desfecho do filme... o desespero do Fantasma em querer a mulher que ama e esta a deixa-lo, amando-o tambem, por um outro amor. Se sempre achei estranho a escolha, uma vez que o amor pelo Fantasma era tanto mais magico e incontrolavel, porque teria fugido com Raoul? Acho que agora começo a ser capaz de o perceber... nao vou aqui explicitar tanto assim.
O ponto sem retorno. Momentos musicas e de cinema que marcam a alma bem fundo, pela energia, pelo drama, pela arte, pelo que representam... porque tantas vezes me sinto como esse Fantasma... Presunçao? Talvez, quem sabe...?
