Concept or not - Viva Emptiness

[Swashbuckler]

And... here we go again. Since I saw Jonas and Anders post often nowadays I've decided to ask smth. Yup, this is another question about Viva Emptiness - is it a concept album or just thematic, or neither of that? As for me, I truly believe in concept: it is so obvious for me, that mafia and criminal thing, the story about some guy decided to start new life, betrayals, murders and so on. But with concept and story I see another layer of interpretation - the intimate lyrics about love, brake-up and personal relations. So I can say it's like a two different sides of a coin. Okay, first of all I ask Jonas or Anders, than you, guys. Let the battle for concept begin!

There's a thread with a lot of posts on this subject around here somewhere.

I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

yup, some old threads regarding this are veery extensive, with lots of home-built teories. Basicly Jonas said the album had a overall feel to it, but not a concept really, while lots of fans feel there is a certain story to it and have own interpretations.

HERE I GO AGAIN!

Not a full concept, but definite thematic threads. Criminals, Evidence, Omerta... come on...
