| It would make sense if Century Child was Jesus. But Marco said none of them are religious. But also, in Christianity, there's stuff about how you should be dead to this world. Coz this world's crap, and if it means nothing to you and you want something more, that's a good thing. | |

| This song could have biblical meaning...I'm not religious, but I know that in the Revelation the bible says something about a Queen giving birth to a child, and the child is special in some way... | |

| I agree that this song is excelent...and that he does kind of personify the child as innocence. But,throughout Century Child, he mentions a cross, and alot of reference to the Bible. Don't know who of you here are Christians, I am kind of and kind of know the Bible...Jesus ate with the sinners, and he saved them, and Jesus was not excepted by all the people as the chosen Mesiah ("Remaining, yet still uninvited") This song, no doubt, has some reference to the Bible. And then, the last part is what gives me doubt "Who gave his life not for the world but for me" Christians believe that Jesus gave his live for us, for ultimate redemption. If this song has relation to the Bible, I'd say the song is about Jesus' mother and father. Heaven Queen being His mother, and Tuomas being his father. But who knows, if you listen to APC, you'd know that this song could have alot of meanings, and that you don't have to be a Christian to write a song about it. | |

| still can't figure out what it is about. yes, Century Child could be Jesus, and he gave comfort to the fallen - but the rest doesn't suit to this idea. maybe it's about not being satisfied with your own life. Tuomas writes his lyrics as his most personal poems, therefore this is about desiring more from life, and yet feeling that this "more" is not the best... Dunno how to tell more clearly. It's like... When you feel you have to change something, but you know that if you do change, it will be still bad... There is no innocence in this world any more. Take me away, Heaven queen. | |

| Very cool, Satakiel! I also LOVE this song - it is my all-time favorite of Nightwish and I totally agree with your take on all of that. Throughout the Century Child album, the "child" is innocence personified. The only part I disagree with is that Toumas has a low opinion of himself because he refers to himself as the beast or the wolf. I think that he just feels that he is different than what "civilization" expects... | |
