    Within Temptation - ‘Utopia’ (lyrics):
    The burning desire to live and roam free
    It shines in the dark and it grows within me
    You're holding my hand but you don't understand
    So where I am going, you won't be in the end
    I'm dreamin' in colours, of getting the chance
    Dreamin' of trying the perfect romance
    The search of the door to open your mind
    In search of the cure of mankind
    Help us we're drowning
    So close up inside
    Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
    Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
    Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
    How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?
    I'm searching for answers not given for free
    They're hurting inside, is there life within me?
    You're holding my hand but you don't understand
    You're taking the road all alone in the end
    I'm dreamin' in colours, no boundaries are there
    I'm dreamin' the dream we all seem to share
    In search of the door to open your mind
    In search of the cure of mankind
    Help us we're drowning
    So close up inside
    Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
    Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
    Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
    How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?
    Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
    Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
    Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
    How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?
    Why does it rain?

    The old man is suppose to be like an Angel. The massage of the video is shown that God and his Angels can't always step in. They are sadden on how humanity is now a days. The massage to the song also has a saying that humanity should change and do something before the world becomes worse.

      Pretty sure the song is about the idea of a perfect couple who knows that nothing lasts forever and beauty only ever lies in impermanence. So they're making the best of things while they can. Kinda reinforced by Hydra's "Covered By Roses" tbh.

    Angels don't have to be invisible either. Many people have saved lives by smiling at others, or waving, or generally being kind, and helpful. They don't get any special credit; but to the person who's life they brightened; there will always be a special place in their soul for that 'Guardian Angel'.

    The simple act of pulling the kid at the end back sends a powerful statement.
    "If you can help and make the world a little bit better, why wouldn't you?"
    Because if everybody just let's everything go and not work on making the world a better place, it'll end up a Dystopia.

    He's not a simple angel, he's God who's deceive to see how his creation turns into a mess, how man are bad and the end is a small hope in the darkness. As Sharon says "A sheltering ray shines through this night although it's small, it's bright". But I agree with you, the world would be a better place if people minds of the other.

    But then this video also encourages me, because at the end he saves one life. It may be just one, but that little boy is never going to forget that, for the rest of his life. And because of that, even if it's just one person ... it's worth it!

Hearing this song convinces me that maybe there are people with truly good intentions out there. They're just extremely hard to find.

    This song has so much meaning to and understanding. This song shows that everyday people take for grant about what they could actually be doing to help. Instead they are fulfilling their own greedy needs. I see countless people around me who never bother to try and make things better for others and just idly stand by. Its unbelievable what people do and not try to do their part in something better for all.

We can't change the wrongs or "evils" committed by others,So what good does it do to hate or dwell? Hate is a Poison that Only hurts the person feeling it not the person who did them wrong. When life gives you "Rain" just use it as a tool to help you grow and BE THE BEST YOU "YOU" CAN BE! live in love

    the man represends an angel who watches silent how the world becomes wors and worser how ppl do bad stuff to one another
    he crys bc the young girl sells her body she could be on school with her friends with her parents having a good careless life
    the world would be a better place if ppl understand what they do to one another

    Does it really matter what the pentagram itself means? Symbols only carry whatever meanings we personally attach to them on an individual basis. What is good health or protection to one may be an evil invocation to another. What the song and video are getting at is that we make this world heaven or hell for ourselves and each other, and we could be making it a whole lot more heavenly than we have been lately.

    I didn't just feel like crying during this song. :/ I cried the first four times I watched it, especially when I saw the one tear fall down the man's cheek. It's just so...terrible to think of all the evil in all our everyday lives that we're all so use to, we never think twice about it. :'(

    Aspects of religion such as this are so beautiful - and this, coming from an agnostic. Well done I say.

    Screw all the other genres of music talkin about sexualities and other crappy stuff!
    This is what deserves to be a song,
