PotO- "All I Need" - (Erik ♥ Christine) - Phantom of the Opera

Please read: (lyrics below)- update- not sure why this song is so low- it wasn't when I first posted! But over the months it has gone down in volume - maybe a YT glitch? ...I love this song (love all of WT's music) and when I first heard it I had planned to vid it with TVD (since song was played during Delena's dance) but there are so many TVD vids with this song, and I decided to do it with PotO instead since song fits E & C too and in doing a search I didn't see anyone who'd vidded this song yet for them. :) As always, symbolism abounds in the effects & transitions and how I used them- way too much to list- I'll let each viewer interpret how you wish. A few things I'll give - the white vignette (smoky border) shows when they're together in mind and heart, the black smoky border shows when they're apart or wishing to be forgiven or be together or trust one another, etc...overlays & masks show either memories of past or what future will hold, depending on lyrics - most normal colored ones are stronger, recently happened (or soon to be future), most monochrome ones are faded to show older memories - OR when fading to regular color masks beside it- to show monochrome as the past and regular color as present. Also- when she puts ring into his hand (the ring symbolic of her heart) she is giving her ring to him, as JS also said in his screenplay (not returning it). That's probably all I have room to write about symbolism (sorry- they don't give much space). ...in Christine's pov mostly, but also comes to be Erik's - it progressively tells their relationship - just when they come to trust, one of them hurts the other again, but true love is eternal and always wins in the end despite all obstacles. As ALW says, "Love Never Dies" ;-)

All I Need by Within Temptation

I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't I ever learn
I've lost all my trust though I've surely tried to
Turn it around

Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace

Don't tear me down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear me down
You've opened the door now
Don't let it close

I'm here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
From turning around

Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace

Don't tear me down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down
What's left of me
Make my heart a better place

I've tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away
Don't tear me down

Don't tear me down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place

Don't tear me down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something i can believe
Don't tear it down
What's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place
