This song is a masterpiece. It really tells a story.The emotions, the desperation, you really feel it. And i just love how it starts with 'Tell me..' and ends with 'I tell you..' Wow.
monologue at the beginning is very chilling. but i like how it sets the mood for the rest of the song. i think we're supposed to feel a sense of pity for this male character, even though we accept that he is evil.
I like this song, but th ebeginning sounds very creepy, and puts me in the mind of a stalker. Maybe I don't know the whole story, though. Just my two copper pieces, here.
@SlairMongrel Actually, it is about a stalker. This song is in a trilogy of lyrics, starting with Caleb, then this, then Don't Say A Word. Juliet is also rumored to be part of the series. Go to songmeanings and see just how amazing this trilogy is!
Oh, lol, the footprints continue from the fire to the other frame, or so it looks like because of the crack right at the junction between the two footprint sets. :0
Also, it's not just day, it's dawn, and the guy is heading towards the sun whilst the other one is going to the setting moon.
Oh, oh and the big crack on the sun side separates the snow from the grassy part!
So, practically, there are three worlds, three times... o. o hmmm...
@Aaeternitade I'm guessing it has something to do with illusions/ignorance. If you look at it, we're actually looking through some glass, the silent side is intact, but the day side has broken glass, thus breaking the illusion. Also, about the fire and such, I think they tie in with that, as nothing/illusions dont last forever. The night side has evergreens and he's holding a light. But the day side has a fire (burns out) and a normal tree (leaves fall, breaking beauty) Ye, I think too deep. :L
@Jannyleinchen Yes, it's "I steal your earring". "Steel your earring" makes no sense at all. He steals his victims earring, he doesn't make it a type of metal. Wtf
u know? i was really surprised when i found out that a sonata song was girl friend related, i thought it had to do with folk stuff, but now i know that it wasnt a song but all of them o.O
that was just the last thing i would imagine. Anyway Sonata is freaking awesome ^^
You say hanah montana-i fucking punch you in the face
92% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5
its the problem of each person what they hear. if they rather listen pop, good for them.. dont forget metal is underground,it wouldnt be "correct" that 100% of the people listened to it
Heh, I'm a little late to the party here, but does it really matter about what genre music is? I like what I like, I don't see why we have to bind ourselves by the genre we listen to and ONLY listen to that.
@WhiteWolfeh Hey, u NEVER ever, think like that, that is totally wrong :) (as long as u dont listen to justin bieber). Being open minded is just one more thing that makes u better. So u may listen to whatever u REALLY LIKE (just try not to mix something as epic and great as sonata with something like rap xD)
He does growl quite a lot on the Unia album. But since SA is a power metal band, they mainly focus on melodic singing. But you're right, Tony Kakko has amazing growls.
i'll never play this song with my band cause our project is similar to Nightwish..but I play it every time I'm approaching to my keyboard...it's..i don't know how i could explain it..it's but amazing...maybe the best stuff Sonata have ever written..i love it..
the 1st SA song i heared was fullmoon. since then i loved SA. so i downloaded a lot. and found this song yesterday on my mp3 at work and looked up the songtekst becasue i didn't really understood it but actually all of their songs are some kind of story. and the voice i love it!!!. tallulah and mary lou are also awesome songs.. actully all of their songs are awesome!! :)

@Dougz10 that's an excellent intrepretation, i think the artwork takes a deep thinker to decipher.

what of the word silence placed on the plains of the night side?
