Hedwig and the Angry Inch – the Origin of Love:

In Plato’s Symposium, a party is being held in which a series of speeches are given paying homage to Eros. "The Origin of Love" is taken from the speech given by the playwright Aristophanes.

According to the speech, long ago,humans were composed of two people stuck back-to-back, with two faces and eight limbs. Male-male humans came from the Sun, female-female humans from the Earth and male-female humans from the Moon. The gods, out of jealousy, split them in half. Now, throughout our lives, we are always trying to find our "other half."

Quote:

 

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.

Nope.  Not getting any explanation on this esoteric nonsense. It’s for me.
