Nightwish – Escapist Lyrics 18 years ago
I agree with Jarli. Escapist seems to me to be referring to trying to escape the harshness of reality into your own make believe world where you are free. I especially love "Nightingale in a golden cage, that's me locked inside reality's maze," it looks like it might be great, but the nightingale is still imprisoned, in the same way tuomas is imprisoned within reality.

Nightwish – Amaranth Lyrics 18 years ago
Well...this is waaay off from your guys' interpretations...but to me it almost seems like a message from Tuomas to the fans about the band's new singer...

So the first stanza could be about Tuomas doubting himself and his decision. War between him and the day- the day referring to when the "new" band receives judgment from us (the loyal fans ^_^). But the main thing that sticks out is in the chorus, it talks about possibly TWO people or things... which I think means Tarja and Anette.

Caress the one, the never fading rain in your heart, the tears of snow-white sorrow. Refers to Tarja, sorta saying, yeah don't flame her she did what she thot was right and we had difference,s she is still a good person, etc.

Caress the one the hiding amaranth, in a land of the daybreak. Saying, but also keep in mind to give the new singer and the band a fair shot when the album comes to be released, because it might be a hiding amaranth, and you wouldnt know it unless u saw for yourself.

considering the theme of TPATP and Bye Bye Beautiful and MPG...and that this song is between then on the CD...I think this might be pretty plausible =).
