I could almost swear that Sonata Arctica made this song about my future self XD It's about someone who's been through a very abusive, traumatising life.
"In a house where no one never sleeps,
lays a man who sees more with his eyes
Picturing the past before him,
in a bed, alone, with clothes on
Paying for a service he doesn't really need"
Here, the guy is in a club, or a brothel (basically a place where you can pay for sex), thinking about his past. Although he doesn't really need sex to make him feel better.
"With his eyes, he sees more love and lust
more tears, far too much to handle
Can't tell a soul, not this time, they'd lock him right up
Too much of burning bushes too much for his weak soul"
He sees the girl as a woman more than just a whore and it hurts him to know that is how he sees the world and it really hurts him. But he can't tell anyone, otherwise he'd be hauled away to a mental house, or jail. The last line metamorphizes "burning bushes" as maybe lust from both men and women and it's too much for him to handle. Stating that men who rape and women who prostitute themselves or have sex a lot really weighs heavy on his mind, this stemming from a past trauma.
"In his mind, oh so jaded, he's gone too far behind
Of all the visions seen, this one makes him scream"
He thinks too far back and has a flashback of when he was raped probably and screams.
"He cannot live neither die in this world
Burning sensation inside, you know how that hurts?
Making up for the crimes of your life
With scythe as your sword,
you must fight 'till the end of time"
The first two lines here show that he can't live in the world, but he can't leave it either. Everything he's been through and sees tears him up inside. The next few lines speak to him directly, telling him that to make up for the trauma that has happened to him, he has get out there and make a difference in people's lives.
"Don't look behind, or you will fall through the time
Only time can make you see behind of the curtain hiding
the secret. Your time is up when you see the light"
The singer continues to speak to the person, telling him he shouldn't focus on the past, and that time will heal the wounds of life. The last line is basically just death.
"You can live as a noble man but when time,
You won't be left behind"
He can live as a good person, helping out and stuff and when his past comes back, he won't dwell on it anymore, for he's gotten over it.
"With the sound of time ringing in his head,
He leaves the house where no-one never sleeps
Job well done knowing that at least one will be pleased"
With his past still haunting him, he leaves the house, feeling somewhat satisifed that at least the girl is pleasured.
"Hiding is always useless, pictures will fade with time"
It says that hiding from your past is useless, time will heal the wounds.
"Seeking for a winner of the day, prize of life is here
Of all the visions seen this one makes him scream "
"Winner of the day" basically means which girl he'll fuck today. "prize of life" means that basically what currently yearns, but doesn't really need is sex with girls. And of course the last one is about his flashbacks and how they haunt him.
