Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for writing and understanding this song. It's been haunting me since the moment I heard it and almost instantly recognized whose "voice" he's adopting. It's horrifying and kind of heart-breaking. On one hand, Lestat is capable of such immense empathy, even for this person who violated him, and on the other, is he even aware of what he's doing here? Does he know on some level that he was victimized, or is this him refusing to know it?
Also, I've see some people on line speculating with complete ignorance about who Lestat is singing to because they haven't read the books and refuse to for some reason, and it just kills me not to say anything. So thank you for your informed and thoughtful commentary.
