    Storytime (Nightwish, Lyrics)

    `Twas the night before
    When all through the world
    No words, no dreams, then one day

    A writer by a fire
    Imagined all Gaia
    Took a journey into a child-man`s heart

    A painter on the shore
    Imagined all the world
    Within a snowflake on his palm

    Unframed by poetry
    A canvas of awe
    Planet Earth falling back into the stars

    I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan

    A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
    I am the story that will read you real
    Every memory that you hold dear

    I am the journey
    I am the destination
    I am the home
    The tale that reads you

    A way to taste the night
    The elusive high
    Follow the madness
    Alice, you know once did

    Imaginarium
    A dream emporium
    Caress the tales
    And they will dream you real

    A storyteller`s game
    Lips that intoxicate
    The core of all life is a limitless chest of tales

    I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    Searching heavens for another Earth

    Can't say it's too up for interpretation -- it's a personification of a story, and how stories can be captivating enough to leave a lasting memory in somebody's mind. The specific examples of types of stories all meshed into one serves to prove that it's not a tangible thing, but still something that leaves a lasting impact. I think there's also some strong nested messages about how it also serves to spurn imagination in various aspects.

     I am floating happy not knowing nautical course
     tie a wristwatch in slipknots and dock at my porch
     time is of no essence, the presence becomes presents
     peasants become pheasants and soar past acceptance
     current currencies worthless, fodder for feeding purses
     with iron clad words I solder together verses
     I'm trippin like I'm eatin' the fungi
     leaving me cornered like the puss that crusts in ones eye
    
     [V2 - DEACON]
    
     listen
     there's no light, just never ending night
     and the weather's like a hurricane when land is in it's site
     the sand within my hourglass could vanish any moment
     and i'm trying to read the signs within the symbols and the omens
     from the motions of the sea, to the color of the dark
     this ocean of my dreams was more than cover for the sharks
     recovering these parts is like discovering my art
     I wonder as I wander through my heart
    
     [V3 - KNO]
    
     Cus it starts a dream defferred
     A clipped wing on a white dove
     Seems absurd, a smudge on a white glove
     Not seen nor heard like screams from the night's lungs
     Cling to words so much that you won't budge
     Fiends in herds who yearn for the white crumbs
    
     Getting high like the city sky when it lights up
     Thats what the night does
     It hits your mind with the right stuff
     To keep you blind with a slight buzz
    
     [V4 - DEACON]
    
     The mind is like a puzzle that could never be completed
     we scuffle through it's pieces, strugglin for peace it's
     hard for us to sleep and even harder to awake
     the image in my mirror's gettin harder to relate
     I see me harbouring my hate and bartering with grace
     but I couldn't be farther from my faith, or my face
     through this waste of my mind, may i find direction
     I'm a waste of my time if I don't find it's lessons
    
     [V5 - NATTI]
    
     So all welcome to this generous helping of self reflection
     night thoughts brought to life with incandescence
     as the twirls on the tip of our index
     staring into space one's vision is endless
    
     [KNO]
    
     but glaring at the ground you can see where the end is
    
     [NATTI]
    
     so just close pupils and be pupils and listen
    
     [KNO]
    
     the headset's your desk the test is what's missin
    
     [NATTI]
    
     digest these notes of quotes of keys written
