The song alludes to lord tennyson's poem "the lady of shalott" (based off a legend from the days of king arthur, elaine of astolat), and a collection of tennyson's poems is a freqent image in the video. Tennyson's "the lady of shalott" is a poem about a girl living in a mysterious tower, who is cursed with death if she should leave. The lady of shalott does leave and she takes a boat and floats down a river toward camelot. She dies while singing before she arrives. She is found with the boat near camelot, and sir lancelot and all the people marvel at her beauty.
