| At first, when I heard this song, I thought of Romeo and Juliet, ACT III, scene V, and it reminded me of how Juliet wants it to stay dark outside so that Romeo doesnt have to leave. But, after thinking about how the lyrics say "Sleeping weeping with you" and the song is called "Sleeping sun" So, it sounds like shes talking to someone, not the sun, but someone she loves but cant be with. Its almost as if she is the moon, and he is the sun, and sun and moon cant be together because when the sun goes down, the moon comes up, so she wishes the sun and the moon can go down together. | |

NW ROCKS//// Anyone noticed how eatheral Tarja is ... kinda freaky when you stare into her eyes.. has that freaky supernatural tone attached to it ... shivers..... ( even if its on one of NW's vids) | |

| i love this song as well. my first listen i couldnt do anything but listen to tarja over and over for 2 hours straight. but one thing has always puzzled me... what is the significance of 222? a third of 666? i thought that first but it seemed too immature. does anyone know this? | |
