Lagoon Lyrics

There is so much truth in "imagine a perfect hideaway without a time"...

Well, at the first look there are examples for that things need some specific components to be "perfect". But then there is the serpent, being whispert after "a friend", so it seems to be meant quite ironically. Or do you need a serpent in a perfect eden? Well, in the bible the serpent (the devil) is a false friend to Adam and Eva, making them eat the forbidden apple. But in this song to me it sounds as if Tuomas means any friend with serpent... maybe that there is something bad in every friendship. And then there is the "ocean soul", of which i think as an overflowing soul, full of thoughts and feelings, but content in itself... So i think this song is about that someone with an "ocean soul" does not need things other people need to feel happy.
