PotO/LND - "Weight of the World" (Erik ♥ Christine) - a request

** PLEASE READ to understand (lyrics below) - for best viewing watch in HD (or 720) - (YT has been glitching, reverting vids to 144, and I have to manually change back to HD each time I watch, sometimes needing to wait for video to load) - Fandom and song by request for ellafischbachbrock2352. (please note: I did take a few lines of rap out at the end of song)... Story follows lyrics - mostly told in Erik’s POV. When it shows the sparkle clip at beginning with the 4 shots of Christine (LND back through Hannibal), it’s like time rewinding to the beginning of how the intro all started… shows how Erik loves Christine and wants her with him, but struggles with the past (also with confiding in her of his troubles), and with the present and Raoul’s infatuation with her - all of it tearing him down, until he feels the weight of it all - betrayed and rejected - and lashes out at everyone, at times without realizing the great pain he’s inflicting on her. I had a few of my stories in mind when composing this - i.e. - the murky clips showing them in bed (at beginning) - also showing his ravaged back from where he was viciously whipped. They are like foreshadowing, to show that his dream - to be one with her - will happen ‘that moonless night.’ Throughout vid, she is leery of him, but listens in empathy when he does finally confide in her (i.e. - when lyrics speak of past unfurling and I show clips of them together, etc). Yet Erik is still hurt, bitter and angry, certain she will always reject him and acting out in that pain - and she does leave, for a time. Even once she comes back, he is still uncertain (LND clips shown earlier in vid), until one night… Also, any LND clips of kiss are meant to signify their reunion (not her death). The masking clip of 2004 E/C kiss shows the past of that night - with her coming to him through the chaos created. When it no longer shows them transparent, it symbolizes that they both made the choice to leave the past behind them.

dialogue - (from Mystery Legends Phantom of the Opera game and also 25th anniversary show)

Erik: I watched you every night from up here… you should never have left me… is this how you repay your Angel of Music?! … I gave you my music, I gave you everything.
E: Lead me, save me from my solitude!
E: But Christine… Destiny brought us both here… Come with me.
E: On that night you broke my heart… but now, you have made me whole again.

Lyrics of "Weight of the World" - performed by Saliva

Love to be beside you, The way you smell
The way your lips feel, and your fingernails
The way your fingers crawl up my spine
The way you always make me last in line

REFRAIN
I carry the weight of the world as the past is unfurled
But I won't stop to wonder
Going through this life on my own made me cold as a stone
I'm a ship going under
And I'd tell you this but I don't know how
I'm caving in and I'm falling out and I can't resist
And I can't rebound with the weight of the world as the world falls down

It's the way you thrill me, then pull away
The way you seem to kill me a little more each day
And it's what you're thinking in your twisted mind
The way your body trembles when it's next to mine

REFRAIN

As the world falls down,
Falls down (repeat 3X)

REFRAIN
