| Nightwish – Procession Lyrics | 5 years ago |

I think this is a song about DNA. Our DNA are the singers of the gone, that remembers when life formed, remembers all the suffering. In a way, our "winning" DNA is the direct result of suffering of "zillion sideshows". "Winning" life forms developed into monsters, but at some point, we have started to take steps away from it as well, with more understanding and wisdom. The species that eventually proceeds us will understand the language of our DNA. The DNA of the species that will proceed us will remember humans and all the suffering that was needed for it to be formed. |

| Nightwish – Dead Boy's Poem (feat. Sam Hardwick) Lyrics | 9 years ago |

Am I the only one who thinks this song is about Tuomas' own ambition and feeling of inadequacy as a songwriter. Being ashamed for not being good enough and/or having a writer's block and having lost his passion because every idea, every thought is already composed and told in this world. He had high ambitions but feels like he failed to live up to them. Songwriting is what is his only strength, comfort, chance for immortality (songs are remembered even after death). He has lost his passion, but yet he still remembers the love that ignited his passion for songwriting in the first place (reference to Gethsemane lyrics). |
