Trivia
The contents of this song are fairly ironic considering Talya Sindel and Jorge Rivera-Herrans, who play Circe and Odysseus respectively, are dating. What's more ironic though is that Talya Sindel initially auditioned for Penelope.

Goofs
When Odysseus is trying to convince Circe to let him and his crew live, he states that he hasn't seen Penelope in 12 years. However, at that point, he would've only been at sea for 10 years since he left Ithaca to fight in the Trojan War. Jorge Rivera-Herrans has pointed this mistake out and constantly makes fun of himself for it, though this timeline does match up with dialogue in Madeline Miller's novel "Circe." This miscalculation caused the lyrics of a few songs, namely "Different Beast" and "Get in the Water," to be edited to fit the time shift.

Quotes
Circe: There are other ways of persuasion. There are other modes of control. There are other means of deceit. There are other roads to the soul. There are other actions of passion. You have so much left to learn. Want to save your men from the fire? Show me that you're willing to burn, woah!
Odysseus: Who's to say, with the mistakes I've made...
Circe: Don't be afraid!
Odysseus: ... that they will be the last...
Circe: Think of your past.
Odysseus: ... mistakes I ever make?
Circe: Don't break when there is so much power, so much power, but there's no puppet here!
Odysseus: There is so much power, so much power, but there's no puppet here.
Circe: This is the price we pay to love!
Odysseus: I'm just a man.
Circe: There is no line, never enough.
Odysseus: I'm just a man!
Circe: So much power, so much power...
Odysseus: Forgive me...
Circe: ... but there's no puppet here...
Odysseus: I can't!
Odysseus: Back at home, my wife awaits for me! She's my everything, my Penelope. And she's all my power, all my power, but it's been twelve long years! Oh, twelve long years since I have seen my wife! And now the god of tides is out to end my life. So I beg you, Circe, grant us mercy, and let us puppets leave!
Circe: Poseidon, eh?
