Deep Silent Complete

Nightwish's 'Deep Silent Complete' is a hauntingly beautiful song that delves into themes of death, eternity, and the ethereal nature of existence. The lyrics open with a reference to creation and a decree from heaven, suggesting a predestined fate intertwined with the concept of 'sweet death.' This sets a somber yet serene tone, as if death is not something to be feared but rather embraced as a natural part of life.

The recurring imagery of the 'black velvet sea' and 'sirens calling' evokes a sense of mystery and allure. The sea, often a symbol of the unknown and the subconscious, is described as deep, silent, and complete, suggesting a finality and peace that comes with surrendering to its depths. The sirens, mythical creatures known for luring sailors to their doom, add an element of danger and seduction, implying that the journey towards this 'black velvet sea' is both inevitable and irresistible.

The lyrics also touch on the transient nature of life and the eternal night that follows. Phrases like 'brave day sinking in endless night' and 'the age will say
