The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my mind … The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your mind … The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my/your mind … The Phantom of the Opera is here/there Inside my/your mind
克莉絲汀也有黑暗面,在魅影的歌詞中也提到了:
《The Music of the Night》歌詞
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night
Stranger than you dreamt it Can you even dare to look Or bear to think of me? This loathsome gargoyle, who burns in hell But secretly yearns for heaven Secretly… secretly But Christine
Fear can turn to love — you’ll learn to see To find the man behind the monster This repulsive carcass, who seems a beast But secretly dreams of beauty Secretly… secretly Oh, Christine
But his voice filled my spirit With a strange, sweet sound In that night, there was music in my mind And through music, my soul began to soar! And I heard as I’d never heard before
Yet in his eyes All the sadness of the world Those pleading eyes That both threaten and adore
但是勞爾從頭到尾都是在否定魅影,也就等於是否定克莉絲汀的黑暗面:
《Why Have You Brought Me Here》歌詞(勞爾)
This Phantom is a fable Believe me There is no Phantom of the Opera … There is no Phantom of the Opera … What you heard was a dream and nothing more
然後勞爾就唱了情歌《All I Ask of You》,克莉絲汀也以為勞爾能讓她擺脫魅影,兩人最後相吻,有些觀眾在這裡拍手,也有人覺得他們的愛情很美好,是偉大的愛情(維基上寫的),我只覺得無法認同這膚淺、空洞的愛,因為這一對注定要失敗。
勞爾不願去看見黑暗面,在這點上完全否定克莉絲汀,這對關係絕對是巨大的傷害。對克莉絲汀來說,在愛情中還要壓抑和隱藏黑暗面,她就無法表現出完整的自己,她會覺得少了什麼,她無法拋棄黑暗面,因為黑暗面同時也蘊藏著力量,所以她徬徨著在墓地裡尋找父親或魅影,唱出《The Phantom of the Opera: Act II. “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again” (Christine)》。
魅影回應克莉絲汀《The Phantom of the Opera: Act II. “Wandering Child… / Bravo, Monsieur…” (Phantom, Christine, Raoul)》,這時勞爾也出現,三人的三角關係拉扯著,勞爾覺得克莉絲汀的心又偏向了魅影(很理所當然呀)。
魅影替代男主角,在劇中劇舞台上和克莉絲汀假戲真唱《The Point of No Return》,彷彿也在述說他們真實的關係,克莉絲汀把魅影罩袍頭上掀開,魅影露出戴著面具的臉後,換魅影唱起求愛歌《All I Ask of You》。
被其他人打斷後,魅影帶著克莉絲汀躲到地下迷宮中,這裡的《Down Once More… / Track Down This Murderer》魅影述說他的臉造成他種種不幸,克莉絲汀有一段歌詞說:
This haunted face holds no horror for me now It’s in your soul that the true distortion lies
