Chapter Three:
iViva la Gloria!
This song introduces a new character: Gloria. The title is spanish for "Long Live The Glory", but we can assume that it's a blatant reference to gloria. Let's assume Gloria was born into a Christian/Catholic family, they consider Gloria to be a blessing from the heavens, and praise her. "Long Live Gloria!" "Standing close to the edge" indicates her being on the verge of exploding into rage. This song starts slow, and might be her parents calming her tell her she's a blessing, that they want her to live a long life, rage will get her explain that everyone has problems, "This is why we're all on the edge". The way she's raised,she's a symbol of love and peace. Unfortunately, she grew up in a similar town to Christian's, but her knowledge kept her away from going batshit insane. Eventually, Gloria loses herself in the darkness of the 21st century, and falls in love with Christian. "Gloria, where are you, Gloria?" She ends up being a pretty badass chick due to her smarts and her ability to stay out of trouble, until she is somewhat corrupted by Christian's ways, and becomes a 'bad girl", doing many things her parents wouldn't approve of. "You blast your name in graffiti on the walls". Considering that she blasts her name, she has nothing to lose, and is brave at heart. This song basically introduces us to Gloria.
