In addition to the eight pawns, a white horse is featured and Sade is shown in many clips with a lasso, evidently an allusion to her attempting to capture the "horse." In one brief clip she is seen in a silver outfit riding the horse, but after that second does not appear on the "horse" again. Is the horse meant to represent "Love?" The White Horse, of course, is well known in symbolism. The color white (of the horse) and the silver outfit Sade wears in the scenes where she is shown riding the horse or with the lasso are suggestive of the Moon. What do you think?
