    I declare this song my so far most favorite song, even when i listen to many variety of styles and bands, this song is perfection to me. From lyrics to Music. KICKASS Intro, verses, chorus, bridges, keyboards & guitar solos, DAT keychange at the end. Everything here, BPM, intensity, epicness.. all fits perfectly well to me. Thank you Sonata Arctica, for this motherf***ing great song!

    Imo, this is Sonata Arctica's best song! It speaks so clearly to me about freedom and being able to live on your own without worries of people controlling you, and it evokes the various emotions like a good power metal song should.

  • @meleder990
    @meleder990 5 років тому +44

    Sonata has only done two werewolf songs - FullMoon and Wolf & Raven. This song and "Ain't Your Fairytale" are about real wolves.
    It's just about a caged wolf who yearns for the freedom of the forests and hills. His threats could be interpreted as either delusionary or authentic - either his captivity has simply led to dreams of a wolf army coming to rescue him, or there actually is such a force.
    I prefer the first interpretation, it's more realistic and sadder... his rage comes out in these dreams and delusions. And I don't think it has anything to do with Fenrir - just because it's metal doesn't make it Norse.
    I have a mental image of this song, of a captured timber wolf in a foreign zoo, alone and mismanaged in a steel cage, staring endlessly at a single tree on the far hillside, realizing the true meaning of captivity: he isn't even free to look at the tree from another viewpoint.
    To date, my favorite Sonata song.

    love the video, keep them coming. By the way does anyone else think about the Space wolves while listening to this? oh well, For the All-Father!

    The first SA album I owned. The whole thing is incredibly dense and makes me feel like I'm in the thick of the forest. I absolutely love it, and this song as well. :)

    I know this wolf feels. Poor thing caged and tamed. People can be cruel. That poor wolf. It deserves to be free.
    This is why I somewhat like wolves better than most people.

    this should be a hymn to freedom, this gives the perspective of someone who don't have it's freedom and really want's them back, in the case a innocent wolf imprisoned in some kind of cage
    i love this album
