Sonata Arctica – Letter To Dana Lyrics 17 years ago
Hi to everyone, im from Argentina so maybe my english is not clear. Ive listen to the song a lot of times and I came up to an explanation to pretty much all of the doubts I had, it may not like you, but this is the way I see it.
My first BIG question was WHO was the one writting to our darling Dana O´Hara, that brougth me to my first BIG answer. I think the one that is writting to Dana is her FATHER!! I think this
Realise that the song never talks about passion and that hes always calling her darling, I think dads call girls like this in english, dont they?
Also realise that HE(the one who sings) knows a lot about her father and I think he is talking in third person".Your father disowned you because you have sinned.But he did forgive you in condition he was in
And I you won't do those things anymore
Dana My darling I'm waiting for"
Besides when he died was a beatiful day because he went to heaven I suppose. When Dana´s mother(her wife) passed away it was a Rainy day maybe because she suffered. And finally when Dana dies he will see her again so its a beautiful day.
"And I didn't mean to bother you anymore
Your mother wished: Come visit your fathers grave, Dana" this supports my theory, he want Dana to visit his grave.
"I promise you: I won't write again 'til the sun sets behind your grave" Now this has sense.
The only thing that breaks my idea is "I'm old and I feel time will come for me, my diarys
pages are full of thee" Here it seems as hes not dead GRRRR but I dont know what thee means maybe that can explain it.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH, TELL ME IF YOU LIKED MY INTERPRETATION AND PLIS HELP WITH THAT LAST QUESTION.
