Ever since I got the demo for this song, I've had it on a continuous loop.
I think I know the lyrics to this song by heart now.

The stage for this song is set in Italy....

Italy... well, it's known for being very avant-garde (Imagine its masqueade balls.)

I was worried about making the images for the song, but after listening to the song, I had a couple of ideas.
If you watch the movie, you can see three different kinds of Venetian carnival masks being worn.
I definitely want to go there someday and see them.
