I've always wondered why Fredrik Johansson left the band after the projector album, anyone know the reason?
Question for you veteran DT fans
- Thread starter Creator_Failure
- Start date

from what I know Fredrik Johansson lacked time due to his family (or work?).. at the beginning he could cope with it.. but as soon as the whole thing became too big, he could not continue with it.. if I remember well I heard this in some interview or even on the interview on the live damage dvd

Thanks. Now we have only to discover the so-sought-after meaning of :.:: and we will have uncovered all of DT's secrets. :Spin:

I've been wondering about that also. The first thing that came to my mind when i saw that was that :::: is human emotion, or having a sense of being whole or complete, and :.:: was that something was missing from the person which caused them to retreat into their "haven"
Just a guess though, and a very simple one at that, would like to hear everyone else's thoughts!

Well, just about every forum member (make that every DT fan who has ever wondered the meaning of :.:
has their own hypothesis. I could make one, but most likely it's just another element of the oh-so-vast collection of things about DT which are open to interpretation, the most evident being most of their lyrics and some less-evident elements being their artwork and their very name. So i don't think they'll ever tell us what it means, just like they'll never answer if someone asks them what the lyrics on [insert song title here] mean.

I guess you could say the :.:: stuff is kinda like Tom Bobadil in The Lord of the Rings.
It'll never be solved who he was, as I rhink will happen with the :.:: . But as Tolkien said,:
"Every story needs an unsolved mystery"
So maybe :.:: is DT's?

Well, it would be cool if rahvin wasn't the only one who knew the meaning (if there even is any). But i suppose you could be right.
Only don't compare :.:: to Tom Bombadil. I totally hated that character.

thats not a mistery, it is obvious that Tom Bombadil is the Witch King of Angmar, you can find clues all over the books that support that theory
and while we're at it ::.: is not a mistery at all too, it has everything to do with the seven stars of Gondor that are placed above the white three and since Elendil and Isildur fled Numenor and came to Middle-Earth and thus found their HAVEN
So there you have it, Niklas and Mikael i dare you, bring forth ye mysteries, is this ALL you got?
