Full moon
Sonata Arctica Lyrics

Sitting in a corner all alone,
Feeling lonely and isolated, he sits quietly in his own world.

Staring from the bottom of his soul,
He gazes inside himself, his thoughts and feelings deep as his soul.

Watching the night come in from the window, window
He looks out the window, observing the darkness of the peaceful night.

It'll all collapse tonight, the full moon is here again
Something bad will happen tonight. The full moon rising spells trouble.

In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
Love is complicated, requiring compassion and empathy when things go wrong.

It has no name, there's one for every season
The complexity of human emotion can't be defined in a single word. Each season brings a new feeling to him.

Makes him insane to know
His emotions drive him crazy, leaving him feeling helpless.

Running away from it all
He flees from his problems, hoping to find peace somewhere else.

"I'll be safe in a cornfields", he thinks Hunted by his own,
He hides in the cornfields, thinking he'll be safe. Unfortunately, his own emotions and actions hunt him down.

Again he feels the moon rising on the sky
The moonrise reminds him of the danger and problems that lie ahead.

Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore
He seeks shelter in a barn, but he wonders if he can escape his internal battle.

Someones at the door, understanding too demanding
Someone comes knocking on the door, expecting too much from him, and he's not in the mental space to deal with it.

Can this be wrong, it's love that is not ending
He questions if what he's feeling is wrong. It's a love that he cannot escape.

Makes him insane to know
The intensity of his emotions drives him mad.

She should not lock the open door (run away run away, run way)
He pleads with her to not lock the door, possibly fearing he may hurt her out of love.

Full moon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
Under the full moon, he transforms into something different, losing his humanity.

Sees the change in Him but can't (run away run away, run away)
She notices his transformation but is powerless to do anything about it.

See what became out of her man full moon
She observes what he's become under the full moon.

Swimming across the bay,
He's discovered swimming in the peaceful water surrounding him.

The nit is gray, so calm today
The night is calm, with gray shades all around.

She doesn't want to wait.
She's impatient, wanting to complete their love tonight.

"We've gotta make the love complete tonight"
They have to make love tonight, no matter how dangerous it may seem.

In the mist of the morning he cannot fight anymore
As morning comes, he becomes tired of fighting his emotions.

Thousands moon or more, he's been howling
He's howled under thousands of moons, expressing his emotions to the universe.

Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
Someone knocks on the door, loud noises that will shortly come to an end.

Mess on the floor again
He's made a mess on the floor, a representation of how he's made a mess of his life.

See what became out of her man
She observes the transformation that has occurred to him.

See what became out of her darling man
She reflects on how he's changed from the man she once knew.
