| I agree with the first two comments -- I think that this song is saying that whatever humans do (create or destroy), the world will continue on as it had done since the beginning of time. I'm not sure if this song compares "good" or "evil," but I definitely think that after humans (hence, the empty human skulls) taint this world and end up ultimately dying out, the purity that was once pure and savage nature will reign and endure. But then, ineveitably, some persons will taint this world once more, judging by the "tyrant's return to the sea." | |

| In my opinion this song is about how no matter what humankind does, nature will prevail. Human species, as arrogant as it is, is at the mercy of "mother earth" and there is nothing we can do to change that. | |

| I think this is about a "de-evolution" in a beautiful kind of way, the arrival of an utopic world in wich we all can live and let live. The water is definitly life, we have all this "Evolution of species" reminders -in wich water is the craddle of life-, it talks about the fittest, and I think here the fittest is whomever is willing to respect life, the tyrant is anyone that attempts it's destruction. When it talks about seadrops foaming empty skulls it refers to true (utopic) wisdom -in the phillosophic way, where noone that gets to know REAL goodness could never do any wrong- overflowing the materialistic minds at last. I guess the reference to Atlantis means that the Utopy is reached, Atlantis was originially used by greeks as an anti-ideal realm, was later used in modern literature to describe an utopic society, but the important part is that both versions agree that Atlantis was destroyed (in ay case, Utopy undone) and along with Darwin's resurrection, it means life for every being... Or "some sort" of life, not the life we know from everyday (let's not forget allusions to death characters) reminds me of the "Evangelion" anime's ending. And I think "Fox and Hound" reminds us that Tuomas loves Disney's movies, as "Giant spiders" alludes to Tolkien's LOTR. | |

| i think its about a darkened and bad world where humans destroyed everything but in the end everything turns to good and mother earth is relieved once again | |

| The tyrant could be Mother Nature. The natural world is harsh and cruel and humans try to civilise it. Or the sea could represent death. I think Tuomus uses the sea like this in other songs like the term "ocean soul" and stuff. So it could mean the human speicies dying or returning to the sea in the sense that we evolved from sea creatures... this would make sense because of the reference to Darwin in the song. | |

| With reference to what I wrote above about humans trying to civilise nature: I think the second and third verses are about humans civilsing nature. I remember reading something about "the fox and the hound" I think it was a disney film or something.... | |

| Actually, I think the tyrant is the humankind. "Healed and happy She oversees The Mother The tyrant's return to the sea" Life evolved from the sea? Humans too, in the end. So mother nature'll be happy to see us returning to the sea &stop terrorizing everything. | |
