Symbolism present in this song: Earrings: Pyramids within pyramids, most likely symbolizing capitalism or the illuminati Doorway: the start of the journey Withered twig heart: The prospect of love Caterpillar: Idea of the start of the journey, reinforced. Atmosphere through the first part: Indicative of the bleakness of love The Maze: the ordeal one must go through to attain love, with the ideal far on the horizon. The lone fruit: The forbidden fruit or the false hope. you made it so sweet, till I woke up on the concrete Walls closing in: Just that, in a figurative way. Falling from cloud 9 Pushing them back: Through almost supernatural force the protagonist pushes them back. Light emitted from the heart to the sky: Reference to scripture daystar rising in your hearts or in other words, the start of appeal to religion for help. Enter a child: This is Katys inner child that she guides through the corridors of life. Enter the mirror and hallway: Self-reflection as one currently is. The hallway is the path. The path is irreversible as evidenced by it falling away. The ugly media appears. Again she must break through not only her own introspection but also the prying eyes of others. Butterflies: a symbol of metamorphosis, of dreams Katy holds the half-eaten fruit in a wheelchair: The continued aftermath of dealing with a bad romance, which incapacitates her and holds her captive. The inner child faces off against the white demons and wins: The power of the inner child to cast off the chains of captivity. The end of the maze: Beautiful, mesmerizing. The cat: Reinforcing the captivating, entrancing, mesmerizing end of the maze. The Prince of the Unicorn: The ideal man, the unrealistic expectation, hence the mythical unicorn The prince crosses fingers: He lies The inner child and Katy both move their jaw: Seeing through the lies The punch: Dealing with the lie. Note that this was the final test of the maze of love as the white doorway shows the exit. Child gives Katy a butterfly:Her inner child gives her happiness and peace and a dream. Waving goodbye to the child:Waving goodbye to her childhood in recognition and respect of the past. Dont get me started on the lyrics. Fact is, this song is Sooo much more than meets the eye. Some only see witchcraft. I see an intelligent woman sick of storybook love and older and wiser for her experiences. And for me, this story had parallel elements that had nothing to do with her story. I like it for different reasons. youtu.be/k0BWlvnBmIE?t=38s
