If the subject is not obvious it was a waste of time, Hazlewood could have picked any female name but didn’t. In Greek Mythology, Phaedra lusted after her stepson who turned her down repeatedly so for revenge she killed herself leaving behind a suicide note accusing him of rape which caused Theseus to kill his own son. The velvet morning is resurrection, ‘Straight’ is his version of the truth. The gate stands for the eyes of his father to be opened. His life started when he was unjustly murdered because he was without blame, Phaedra lied then killed herself because she was selfish that is how she made it in. The last verse from the voice of Phaedra speaks of flowers universal symbol for children her secret was unbridled lust. Her selfishness prevented her from learning self-control, respect, or what true love looked like but then again she didn’t care either.
