@[Yuuri:12500] Actually, there are many different comments you can make. When you go to make a comment, there are different types you can select (for example, General Comment, Memory, My Interpretation, Song Meaning, My Opinion, and so forth). For the comment I made, I selected "My Opinion", since that's what it is. It's simply my own opinion and take on this song, on the album. |

@[benjaminyq:10268] I agree with you, actually. This was exactly what came to mind when I first heard the lyrics of this song. I tried to discard the idea so I could enjoy the song, and tried coming up with a few other meanings this song could bring. But in the end, I believe your interpretation to be correct. |

Nightwish – Weak Fantasy Lyrics

I was shocked when this song came out, since in many of Nightwish's songs in the past consisted of some mention or another about religions and beliefs, especially Christianity. It was one of the things I loved about their music, how Tuomas seemed to be accepting of everything and had a fascination with it.
Even in the previous album with "Last Ride of the Day", there's the line "what's God is not the spark that started life". Then we got slammed with this, with "Behold the crown of a heavenly spy / Forged in blood of those who defy / Kiss the ring, praise and sing / He loves you dwelling in fear and sin", and so forth. It makes me wonder what happened in those four years, and why Tuomas all of a sudden has taken this turn.
I won't go too personal into it, and though I am very disappointed by this, all I really want to know is why his thoughts on it changed so much. From my own personal experience and I'm sure many of you have too, religion can be extremely toxic and hurtful, so I assume something along those lines must have happened towards him, so much so that he felt as if this needed to be written. I'm gonna sound petty here, but it soured the whole album for me. We go from listening to lyrics that explore beliefs in a beautiful way, to harshly speaking against a religion and marking it as false; a getaway from reality, which to some, may be true, but to others it's a way of life.
Now, I see where he's coming from, but that doesn't change the fact that I think this is unnecessary. I understand that the whole concept of this album is evolution and how everyone came to be without the aid of some supernatural being, but was this really needed? |

I think it pretty much spells it out, but it's to those who are famous, rich, ect. from ordinary people that obsess over them and can't get enough of the gossip. |

She was in love, her love died, and now she wishes to be with him, since the world is cold and lonely now without him. She wants to find hope so she can keep living; "justify my reason to stay alive". |

I'm probably off, but I think it's about someone who was lied about, then ended up lying about everything about themself. |

From my understanding, it's basicly someone in deep pain, probably close to committing suicide, but wants help to get past all the pain. |

This song is definitely different than what Nightwish normally plays, but it is beautiful all in the same. When you close your eyes, your mind travels somewhere in the Middle East. Quite enjoyable to listen to. |
