Sleeping Stars

Go outside on a cloudless, silent night with a new moon (if it's cold and you;re at a high altitude all the better) and watch the stars while you listen to this song. I think that's the meaning right there.

Can you see them float in the night sky (get outside and you can) Can you hear those echoes of their sweet cries, creating a tune (turn off Wintersun for a few minutes and listen to the silence of a starry night) Can you see them shine so bright (look up ^o^ ) Can you feel their loneliness through their cold light, touching you (you really can, I swear you can)

Woohoo first comment......don't know why though, its an awesome song >_>

the atmosphere this song creates is awesome, with the ambient keyboards in the background.

I really love this song. Beautifull!! And the music is just WOW! The meaning is pretty simple though but nice to listen to none the less.

stars here resemble fallen angels ....

I think this song is, at least partially, about a near death experience.

"My eyes feel so heavy when the stars are calling me" Jari often used the stars to reference the dead in this work, so this is likely him feeling weak at a point when he was near death, likely when he suffered from tuberculosis. "I'm falling in a deep trance and my powers are weakening (falling in a world between dreams and reality)" further pushes this idea, but in an almost comfortable way. Here, Jari describes death not in a terrifying sense, but in a way that resembles comfortably falling asleep.
