Board Thread:Speculation House/@comment-28486044-20160727075112

Okay, just a bit of speculation I want to bounce off you guys. We know this song is about Ruby and Summer. We also know RT sometimes hides clues about future events in their songs. That got me thinking: some of the lines in this song are a bit strange.

"I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness": Is she? I mean, she seems nothing but positive throughout the series (except season 3, but I'll get to that later.) She could be hiding it, I guess, but we have'nt actually gotten any indication of that.

"You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness": Again, does she really feel that? I mean, I guess this and the previous line could be referencing how she felt in the years following the incident, but given that at least a decade has passed, you would think she would have come to terms with what happened. This line would make sense, however, if it was refering to how she felt at the end of season 3.

Now I get to my final point.

"It's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending Every scene fades black, and there's no pretending This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell"

"This bedtime story ends with misery ever after The pages are torn, and there's no final chapter"

These lines have nothing to do with a child losing their mother. Why? Because they all talk about the end the story. Specifically, the end of Ruby's story, or at least that's how I interpret it. While losing a family member, especially a mother might seem like the end of the world to a child, their mother likely wouldn't see it that way. The second set of lines are said by her mother, meaning that they make no sense. Except for one thing. If we, just for a moment, believe that this song could be foretelling the future of the series, this opens up two possibilities.

First, it could be victory at a horrible cost. What the sacrifice is, I don't know, but it's a possibility.

Second, which actually lines up better with the song, is that there is no victory. Maybe Salem wins, remnant is overrun by grimm, and Ruby and our others heros die. Think about it. "There's not a happy ending","Every scene fades black","There's no final chapter". Who could write a final chapter if everyone is dead?

Who knows. Maybe I'm just crazy. Maybe I'm overthinking the reactions of people overcome by loss. Or maybe, just maybe I'm right.

I guess we'll find out.
