My Dream's But A Drop Of Fuel For A Nightmare - SONATA ARCTICA - HD - Lyrics - 2007

[@eggmug562]

I dont think its about an actual clown. They use that term a lot. Its like fool.

[@matheusdeoliveirasilva9483]

Can anyone tell if this is about suicide?...

[@eduardolopezdecastillas.8943]

Yep. The clown can't take it anymore, can't sleep without having nightmares so he commits suicide.

@@eduardolopezdecastillas.8943 Do you have any idea what it means when he says "Shakespeare and company refuse to kill the kitten scratching me"? All I can find on Google is that dreaming about a cat scratching you may mean that you feel threatened; do you think it's about this, or does that part of the song have another meaning?

[@Diaval7711]

@@UchihaShamandalieI personally think that the scratching cat is reffering to exactly that for the clown himself is feeling threatened...

[@UchihaShamandalie]

@@Diaval7711 But I wonder what does Shakespeare have to do here... 🤔 That's the part that confuses me

[@Diaval7711]

@@UchihaShamandalie I'm not so sure what Shakespeare has to do with it, but I would just personally guess that it's mentioned there for the singer says he's a clown and so has something to do with theatre/entertainment kind of stuff like Shakespeare..? Sonata also likes to mention him quite the bit for Tony loves stuff like that, but there could and propably is a deeper meaning for it that I don't know (yet)
