"Lost in Paradise" (Jamie ♥ Claire)- Outlander

PLEASE READ: (Lyrics & dialogue below) - Love this couple, love this song! :) I’ve wanted to do it for some time, but needed to wait ‘til we reached this point of story to do it justice – mainly told from Claire’s POV, a little also from Jamie’s (especially 2nd & 3rd chorus)...story follows lyrics - Some symbolism shown: the sepia tones bleeding into clips are segues into a different century to tell that part of story. Mostly from her memories, as she is reliving them/missing and wanting Jamie. The last phase of vid shows no sepia when showing the past, reminiscent of her memories with Jamie becoming more fixed in her life, and all she can think about – he and their love is her paradise. “As if I was human” – shows the strangeness of the forked lines in her palm that Mrs. Graham pointed out (likely making Claire feel like an oddity, also that she could time travel when others could not)– "Run away" (shows instances of the danger they were in) “We’ve been falling” (falling in love) “lost in paradise” (lost in love with Jamie or lost in her memories of them together, depending on century shown at time). Also, those who've read the book know what some of the clips/symbolism stands for not yet shown in TV series- I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so will leave it at that. :) Rest of symbolism take as you will...

Dialogue-
Jamie: Whatever happens, we’ll make sure you’re safe
Mrs. Graham: Most hands have a likeness to them, there are patterns. Most divided lines are broken – yours is … forked.
Claire: I’m back…I was with another man for two years and I loved him deeply as his wife
J: Promise me that we’ll always find a way back to each other…
C: I promise
J: I believe you, Sassenach.
C: I know. He’s dead.
C: If you take away the one last thing that makes sense to me…then I will die, with you, right here, now
J: He broke me, Claire
C: Tell me, talk to me, make me understand!
C: You belong to no one else but me, and I belong to you, and nothing will ever change that
J: You have your choice- him or me!

“Lost in Paradise” performed by Evanescence

I've been believing in something so distant as if I was human
And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me
All the promises I made just to let you down
You believed in me, but I'm broken

CHORUS
I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise

As much as I'd like the past not to exist it still does
And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here
I'm just as scared as you

CHORUS

Run away, run away
One day we won't feel this pain anymore
Take it all away
Shadows of you
'Cause they won't let me go

So I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise
Alone, and lost in paradise
