Ow. Too bad this song didn't make Dark Passion Play. I heard it for the first time on Youtube, and it got me sad. It would've fit in nice with the rest of the album.
Obviously, Nightwish didn't think so... ^^
I have no idea what this song is about.
What I have noticed is that he mentioned the "Dead Boy" again, just like in "Dead Boy's Poem" and "For the Heart I once had" and "Romanticide".
Just like the words "dying children" seem to return in lots of his songs.
What they mean, I have no idea. But I'm sure they don't refer to Tuomas himself... I think....
Actually I don't believe it would have fit on DPP. You can fit 80 minutes of audio on a standard CD, and DPP is already 75:47 long, as downloaded from iTunes. this track is 4:57 long, so it's just barely over the 80 min mark. It's highly possible they wanted it on the album, but were forced to cut one track and this is it...
