This song is basically Tuomas expressing a lack of inspiration - writer's block, like some of you said.
"The story behind the painting I drew is already told."
He feels he can't come up with anything original.
"No more tearstains on the pages of my diary."
There has been no sadness or drama in his life to fuel his emotions and make him want to create music.
"Tired but unable to give up since I'm responsible for the lives I saved."
He feels a responsibility to his band and to his fans to at least try and create a new song.
I think the song's music fits perfectly with its lyrics. One of my favourites from Once! \m/
