London Bridge Is Falling Down Lyrics Black Butler
Okay, hear me out! You know that classic nursery rhyme, London Bridge Is Falling Down? The one that gets stuck in your head for days? Well, what if I told you it was secretly, *totally secretly*, a theme song for Black Butler?
The Crumbling Bridge and the Crumbling World
Think about it! London Bridge is, like, a major symbol. A symbol of order, society, stability. And what's Black Butler all about? The slow, agonizing decay of Victorian society, wrapped up in demons and delightfully dark humor, of course!
The bridge *literally* falls down. Everything in Ciel's world *figuratively* falls down. Coincidence? I think NOT!
Bricks and Mortar… or Maybe Souls?
The rhyme goes through different building materials, right? Iron bars, wood and clay, even stone! All failing, all collapsing.
Isn’t that like the different methods Ciel and Sebastian use to try and hold their world together? Manipulation, violence, contracts with demons? It all feels a bit… shaky.
Each method to fix the bridge represents the methods to hold onto power and sanity in a chaotic world. Like trying to fix a leaky dam with duct tape! It might hold for a bit, but eventually, *everything falls down*.
Dancing Through the Ruin
And then there’s the “dance over, my fair lady” line. Doesn’t that just scream Black Butler? All that courtly etiquette hiding some seriously messed-up stuff?
It's like everyone is just waltzing along, pretending everything's fine, while the whole world is crumbling around them. Like those people who keep partying even as the Titanic is sinking! Denial is a powerful thing.
Imagine Ciel and Sebastian, forced to participate in a ball while plotting their next move. They’re “dancing” over the ruins of their pasts, their families, their innocence.
Sebastian: The Iron Hand (or Demon Hand?)
Let’s be real, if anyone’s trying to hold that bridge together, it’s Sebastian. He’s the iron hand, the unwavering butler, the demon in disguise!
He's constantly patching things up, cleaning up messes, and generally keeping Ciel (and their entire twisted operation) from completely falling apart. He's the ultimate fixer-upper...with a penchant for souls, of course.
Think about it:
"Build it up with iron bars, iron bars, iron bars. Build it up with iron bars, my fair lady."Sounds like Sebastian's solution to *everything* doesn’t it?
The Fair Lady and the Falling World
And who's the "fair lady" in this twisted scenario? Could it be *Ciel*? Forced into a position he never asked for, burdened by a contract he can't escape?
He *is* kinda fair... in a brooding, traumatized sort of way. And let's face it, he's definitely watching his world crumble around him.
So, maybe the rhyme isn’t *literally* about Black Butler. But the themes of decay, desperation, and the struggle to maintain order in a chaotic world? They fit surprisingly well!
Just a Theory… A Totally Plausible Theory!
Okay, okay, maybe I'm reaching. But isn't it fun to think about? Next time you hear "London Bridge Is Falling Down," just picture Sebastian desperately trying to hold Ciel's world together, one demonic contract at a time. You’re welcome.
After all, every good story needs a catchy theme song, even if it's an *ancient nursery rhyme* about a collapsing bridge.
So, go forth and spread the word! Black Butler and London Bridge are practically soulmates (pun intended!).
