Hi,
I do think lots of nightwish songs are about the lost of innoncence, but I think this song is not about that but about someone who is longing for the madness that left him.
Alice and the mad marsh hare are clearly representation of madness. And the sleepless nights can be experienced in different mental illness problems.
The treetops, the chimneys
The snowbed stories, winter grey
Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven
Wind in the wheat'
A railroad across waters
The scent of grandfatherly love
Blue bayous, Decembers
Moon through a dragonfly's wings'
those are the best moment in our life, real or fake, which come back like souvenirs, emotions and feelings and fill up and all mix up in the mad people head.
Mental illness makes us cry a lot, but it also makes us feel things we never could have felt otherwise, makes us experience things impossible for normal people, so that is why he wants his tears back, he desire to dive into madness again, before he dies.
