Elissa’s song engages in the themes and metaphors of
fin’amors (refined loving). Ahead of Day 7, which will focus on tales of lust and trickery, she describes being tricked by Love, which tempted her with sweet affections but then turned around and imprisoned her in the painful suffering of unrequited love. The song’s narrator has lost her beauty, which both suggests the power of love and also hints at the fleeting nature of love and youth.
