Meaning
I wouldn't say that I have a meaning, per se, for this song, but I would like to make a few points. 1st: The French lyric doesn't mean "You don't want to die alone.", it means "I don't want to die alone." 'Veux' is the present indicatif of 'vouloir', not a misspelling of 'vous'. (And, by the way, 'mourrir' is misspelled. It should be 'mourir'.) 2nd: While the religious symbolism throughout the album could point to the Virgin Mary or Mary Magdalene, there are other possible meanings for that reference. It's commonly known that the English Queen Mary, daughter of Henry viii and the elder sister of Elizabeth I, was called "Bloody Mary". She acquired that name because she was a Catholic who persecuted and killed Protestants when she became queen. Also, there is a folk legend called "Bloody Mary" who appears when summoned by saying her name into a mirror. All things considered, I think those who see the references as metaphors are correct. To read everything literally is to impose a meaning that may not be there. Really, think about some of the lyrics by The Beatles or Stevie Nicks, just to name a couple who immediately come to mind. Can you parse those out word by word and find a literal translation? Of course, not. This is someone's art, not a newspaper article.
