Hmmm very very inturesting song. great song by the Rasmus once again. this song is very puzzeling first of all it is very inturesting that this song is about hiding from the sun, wich the sun is usualy refered to as happiness and joy warmth ect. but in this case the song is written showing the sun in a new light ^.^ as something to stay away from to "hide from". now hiding from the sun? no "the day reveals the dreadful betrayal, and its wiked mind" so its not only the day or the light that he wants to hide from, it is also this "betrayal" betrayal of what? well he mentions befre this that "i should have find the one and hide from the sun". the "one" hmm now whome is he refering to well the sun as he sees it as something that hurts him "cuts like a razor" well could this "one" have been someone that would come with him to hide from the sun. and maybe "betrayal" was made by someone else who wont go out of the sun with him. that starts another question what is exactly the sun? is it a metaphore for something? well he says that he is "afraid to look back into the heartless, world of dust and blood" he also describes himself as a rat running from the sun, so he says he is a coward because he is afraid and rats also represent cowards, so the sun seemes to represent the world full of blood hate heartlessness ect. things that he cant deal with things that hurt him, but he wants to find "the one" or someone else that feels the same way and can go away from the world with him. Now something that is realy puzziling to me is the lines "Dead promises Raining from the world so cold Ancient prophecies Remain from the world so cold " well dead promises happen all the time in real life thats just part of life, but ancient proficies what proficies are he refering to? that i do not know but apparantly "the time has come, hide from the sun". well thats just my crazy mumbelings about stuff anyways hope it helped somehow.
