      It's also really cool wordplay!! In the original story, when Orpheus turns to face her, she's just a shade - a spirit of the deceased - as opposed to the mortal woman he'd hoped to find when he got out of Hades

    Yea the singing is pretty and all, but holy shit the lyrics. The way flowers are used to represent naivety and the trusting bond set between her and Hades, Orpheus being personified life, while Hades is personified death. Yes the face value of the song is "oh damn I was wrong about death", but when dissected this isn't someone who wanted to die, this is someone who beautified death. Eurydice thought death as a graceful, painless pursuit. However, not only does she live with the guilt of leaving Orpheus behind, but she also lives with the physical pain of the labor work in the underworld. This is someone so easily wooed by the authoritative and pseudo-caring tone of Hades that she just decides to go along with it. Then she realizes a little too late that she fucked up bad. The message of this song is simple yes, but the way it is portrayed is just gorgeous lyrically

    I think this song is a character study- its a comparison between the promises Orpheus and Hades made to Eurydice. Orpheus promised to keep her safe (love-nothing gonna wake me now) and Hades promised her security (death- nothing gonna wake me now) the chorus changes it's meaning when she remembers vs when she recalls her current reality.
    she sings that she did something she thought was right and then realized that she regrets because Orpheus was who she loved, but she let security over the uncertainty of being alive fall between her and him. And she also realizes that she is safe the way she is now- dead. But being secure will not make her feel the way Orpheus does- since he loves her without the ornaments Hades offers. But like in real life, she forgets who loved her, and even who she was because she was metaphorically hungry- and do you notice that Hermes says "Eurydice was a hungry young girl. But she wasn't hungry no more. What she was was dead." So by getting what would have supposedly filled her hunger, she is still left empty, since nothing can satisfy her humanity except for the sacrifice of having to live in a cold, hungry world, depending on other people and on love to make it worth having lived.
    That's not to say Orpheus couldn't have stepped up and helped her so she wouldn't have felt desperate enough to sign her life away- but that's the point. I think this show is about human flaws, even in the "gods" we look up to. We all carry one shared humanity with us until the day we die- so we have to live through cold and hunger and fear so that we love the warmth, the joining of hearts, and the flowers underfoot

    Lyrics because I can't read the ones on screen properly
    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 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

    i feel like the fact that the song has kind of an ambiguous feel to it adds to the story.
    if you get rid of the lyrics, the song really doesn’t sound that sad. laments are often in minor keys and gloomy sounding, this just sounds neutral. there’s a weird contrast between the subject matter and tone of voice with the music.
    basically what i’m getting at here is that eurydice is slowly forgetting and will eventually have no recollection of orpheus or anything from her life, so it makes sense that this song isn’t melodically sad. she’s outwardly working with an empty expression.
    (spoilers: also this is EXACTLY what she went back to doing after the end. you’re welcome)

    I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. She sings: "Lily white and poppy red
    I trembled when he laid me out
    You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down" I feel like "trembling when he laid me out" as sex.... and at first I thought she was talking about Orpheus. But, then the next line makes me think that Hades told she wouldn't feel a thing as she died and went to Hadestown.... so I'm wondering, as Hermes said "a lot can happen behind closed doors", that part of her "selling herself" (as Hades tells us, he only buys what people sell) was also sex with Hades... He was not happy with Persephone at that time. And my Persephone (at Kennedy Center) seemed really upset to see Eurydice go up there and I'm not sure it was just because Persephone held a special place for them in her heart. What do you think?

      Yup! Basically, it’s Eurydice’s solo in the beginning of Act 2 where she regrets the decision that fate made her choose. She realizes Hades/Hadestown isn’t at all what she thought or wanted, and she misses her life up top with her Orpheus.

      No hades, the king of the underworld, convinces her to work for him in exchange for food and shelter. She doesn’t realize that working for him also means she can never leave and she’ll forget her past. She basically would have to become one of a ton of slaves for him and by now it’s too late to return. So she’s singing about her past and how she misses it

      @@nuhuhitsgreywater no, I understand it in the musical, on the level of working in mines etc., but I am talking about the myth; she clearly dies, that's the point, so how do we abstract that exchange?

      ⁠@@silasfrisenette9226I know this is a super old comment and you might not see this, but I believe in the original myth she gets bitten by a snake and dies from that, but I'm not entirely sure cause it's been a while since I read anything about the original-

      @@IcySpicy_Yeet yess, in the original myth she is bitten by a snake! But here it seems the hunger takes her, or that she can't bear the hunger and kills herself. I am just (still) confused about the level of agency she has in this decision, cause he asks her to sign a contract, but also it doesn't sound like she has much of a choice 🤨

      There’s definitely that. I also think that, just as Mitchell’s lyrics address the crises of late capitalism and climate change, here they are touching on another one that’s been in the news: the opioid crisis. It’s easy to envision this song being sung by an addict about her pusher, a man who lured her in with a promise of sweet oblivion, then, once she was hooked, started demanding sexual favors when she couldn’t pay and, perhaps, forcing her into prostitution. The “lily white and poppy red” really stands out-both water lilies and poppies are a source of narcotics.

    [Eurydice:]
    What I wanted was to fall asleep
    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 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
