Can some explain something to me........?

Question

Ok, so I watched the Phantom of the Opera the other day (the 2004 movie) and LOVED it, but i have one question about one of the scenes. In "The Point of No Return" I don't get what the Phantom is telling or singing to Christine....and what she sings back

Can someone clarify this for me please???

Answer 1

Here are the lyrics. He is basically seducing her and she is falling for it.

PHANTOM:

You have come here

in pursuit of your deepest urge,

in pursuit of that wish,

which till now has been silent,

silent . . .

I have brought you,

that our passions

may fuse and merge -

in your mind you've already succumbed to me

dropped all defences completely succumbed to me -

now you are here with me:

no second thoughts,

you've decided,

decided . . .

Past the point of no return -

no backward glances:

the games we've played till now are at an end . . .

Past all thought of "if" or "when" -

no use resisting:

abandon thought and let the dream descend . . .

What raging fire 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

where words run dry,

to that moment where 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 -

and 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, at last,

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 . . .
