"what a pile of shit to say " Can you actually say a pile of shit, because then you would have because you quite literally said the words "pile of shit", and I don't think the other person did :D ~Vampy

this song is really sad...especially when the boy is speaking the quotations. the reason nightwish is so great is because they put so much emotion into their songs.

"what a pile of shit to say" If you remotely knew anything about Tuomas or Nightwish, you would understand that the Finnish do not express themselves outwardly, they write it or just hold it in, and plus, If you people treat you like a failure your whole life your not gonna say how much you love them and miss them, your gonna say that you arent going to shame them anymore hence the song.

This song is the most amazing thing...I don't really care about all of this and what it really means...I care more about what it means to me, and how it affects myself. The second part where the boy is speaking..that blew me away...it makes so much sense and just is so amazing. The best part is this, "And you..I wish I didn't feel for you anymore"....so true...

Reading comments on this song makes me realize that Nightwish has done something really wrong on their last 3 albums. All kind of losers started to listen their music. And considering what kind of music they've been doing since release of Wishmaster thats not a big surprise. No, this song is not "deep". If its supposed to be it failed miserably.

I think this song ia about a young boy who is abused, or at least misunderstood. He never has anyone to talk to, so he puts all his thoughts and feelings down in song. The song becomes his best friend, and he puts all his strength into it, so it can give him the strength he needs to get through life. The song shows all the parts of his soul. Eventually, he tries to make his life better, but no matter what he does, he could never get back to the childlike innocence he used to have. So he tries to learn and he reaches for wisdom, but things are just too much, and the right choice unclear. He can't be God. And he says that people shouldn't sigh and wish for a better world, because the world's song, with all its different parts, has already been written and done. He is doing much the same thing, only for himself. During the spoken part (in quotation marks), he tells people not to remember "him", the silent, misunderstood boy, but the song that iss his soul. Deep down, he wants to be loved, to sit on his mother's lap and feel his heart has a home. He could live forever in that. But instead, he wrote his life and soul on the piano. Since he can't get his wish, and can't fix the problems in his life and the world, he has no passion for anything. He cares about the world, and people, but feels he is wasting air since he has no love, no passion, and nothing to give. He is like the ocean -- necessary but often abused and misunderstood, and terribly, terribly lonely.

Tuomas has said about this song, that it's about if he were to die tomorrow, what would he want to say to everyone that he loves, and that love him...
