FullMoon
Sonata Arctica Lyrics

Sitting on a corner all alone,
The singer is sitting alone, soul-searching.

Staring from the bottom of his soul,
He is deeply introspective.

Watching the night come in from the window, window
He is passively observing the world around him.

It'll all collapse tonight, the full moon is here again
The full moon brings chaos and turmoil.

In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
Love is complex and requires effort.

It has no name, there's one for every season
Love is universal, yet unique in each situation.

Makes him insane to know
He struggles to comprehend the nature of love.

Running away from it all
He is attempting to escape his emotional struggles.

"I'll be safe in the cornfields", he thinks, hunted by his own,
He believes he can find solace, but instead he is tormented by his own thoughts.

Again he feels the moon rising on the sky
The full moon's effects are taking hold once again.

Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore
He seeks refuge, but wonders if he can ever truly escape his inner turmoil.

Someone's at the door, understanding too demanding
A visitor arrives, demanding an understanding of their relationship.

Can this be wrong, it's love that is not ending
Despite the struggles, their love persists.

Makes him insane to know
He is still trying to understand the complexities of love.

She should not lock the open door
He is trying to communicate that she should not shut him out.

(Run away, run away, run way)
The full moon's effects are taking hold and he feels the urge to flee.

Full moon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
The artist feels a loss of control over his emotions and actions.

See the change in Him but can't
His partner sees the changes wrought by the full moon but can't fully comprehend them.

(Run away, run away, run away)
The singer again feels the urge to flee.

See what became out of her man
The artist's partner is struggling to understand who he has become.

Swimming across the bay,
The artist is seeking an escape from his thoughts and emotions.

The nit is Gray, so calm today
The water seems peaceful, but the artist's mind is anything but.

She doesn't want to wait.
His partner is eager for their relationship to progress.

"We've gotta make the love complete tonight..."
They are seeking physical intimacy to strengthen their relationship.

In the mist of the morning he cannot fight anymore
The singer is physically and emotionally drained.

Thousands moons or more, he's been howling
The full moon's effects have been plaguing him for some time.

Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
The relationship seems to be coming to an end, and the door is a symbol of that.

Mess on the floor again
The relationship has caused emotional turmoil and confusion.

Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore
The artist's lack of control has persisted and intensified.

Sees the change in him but can't
His partner is still struggling to understand what's happening to him.

See what became out of her man
She sees the extent to which their relationship has changed him.

Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore
The artist is consumed by the full moon's effects and isn't fully in control of himself.

Whoa, whoa
A vocalization expressing emotional intensity.
