Hi. Wow - you're really taken me back with this vid. Thanks. I hadn't watched it for ages. It's really weird watching now knowing everything that has transpired for them since then. I remember when I made this thinking that there was no way Dean was going to hell. When he uttered those words "I don't want to go to hell", I really thought he would be saved some how...
Anyway. I do remember making this section from the vid and I remember having discussions with my beta about it, because I don't think I was quite able to achieve a clear interpretation with it. And looking back on it I"m pretty sure I haven't...
The lyric is "The way you taught me to look past everything I had ever learned". My interpretation was that Dean's learned to look out for Sam, to be there for him, to care for him when he was hurt (and I thought the clip of him comforting him during his vision would symbolise that) but by making the deal he has had to look past that and do something that he knows will hurt Sam. So in fact go against everything he has learned.
I think I was thinking that Sam is the reason he's had to go against the very thing that has been ingrained into him since Sam was born and even though Sam hasn't exactly "taught" him this, it's something that Sam has made him do because he died.
Wow - complicated and I can see now that that probably doesn't come across at all. :/ Actually my brain often goes into complex and unclear interpretations .. it's why _sharvie_ is such a gem. She's not afraid to say.."What??" when I come up with these..
I'd be curious to know what came across for you in that bit... don't feel obliged to answer that of course. *g*
Thanks so much for picking out this bit. It's really made me think. :)
