	Applauds Perfectly said MalachiAD.. perfect.

No Picture Troy Wanna Be	#2 by Troy Erskine at May 10, 1978 at 7:00 PM EST
	For me, this song is a lot like the other songs that Sonata has done (Letter to Dana, Mary Lou)-- a suffering girl who may or may not find her way. This has to be one of my favourite songs by them, it's simply so beautiful. I see it exactly like princess sophie said; an abusive relationship, and the song is telling her that there are good things in life that are within her reach, if she'd only find it within herself to find them. this one part of the repetitions of the chorus sums it up : Dancing on the path and singing, now you got away You can reach the goals that you have set from now on, every day There is no way you would go back now, oh no, those days are past Life´s there for the ones who love to live and take it all, for it is free. It's telling her she can be who she wants to be, she can still love and experience the sunlight in its fullest. Accepting her past and loving herself all the same. I don't think it really means anything about suicide as I see it, but more so overcoming your demons and still surviving, and not taking the easy way out.

	I recently got out of an abusive situation, so that's how I see this song. It's kind of like a talisman for me, because even though my father tried to manipulate and hurt me, I play this song and I feel better, kinda knowing that there's good within sight.

No Picture David Average	#5 by David Tims at Feb 10, 2000 at 11:59 AM EST
	I'm a HUGE fan of Sonata Arctica, I have purchased all their known albums to date...and this song stands out, it is very touching in meaning. It's about a girl who takes things to the extreme because she was bored with her life, which was probably more or less, lonely. "Leave with the first light, go when you still see the moon. Run for the sunlight, gate is now open for you" - Her last vision in the living world is the beautiful moon outside her window, she dies and sees the light of heaven, which beckons her, the gates of her heaven open. "Dancing on the path and singing, now you got away" - By killing herself, she feels she took the easy way out of her life. "You can reach the goals that you have set from now on, every day" - In her "Better place", she can achieve what she could not in life, whenever she wants. "There is no way you would go back now, oh no, those days are past" - There is no going back to being alive once she has passed on. "The Shades of darkness filled her life, In every single corner you can not turn right. Night could pass for a day, in her lack of faith, she let it all fade away. Once more, a cry in the lanterns light?" - She felt her life was too hard because she had to actually work to get somewhere, the part about "In Ever Single Corner you can not turn right" basically means "Life isn't going to be easy, you can't have your way all the time." - So in her frustration, she kills herself to get away from it all. She feels she was overly dramatic and ends herself. I hope I explained it well, I'm somewhat drowsy. :)
