I think that the child Tuomas so often mentions is an actual child, not a metaphor, a child that died, probably HIS child. In this song, the lines "a woodenswing without laughter" and "sandbox without toy soldiers" are the things he had dreamed about sharing with his child, then after their death, the things dont seem right anymore. The childs toys without the child, all the dreams and hopes he had for his child, all gone. I think Dead to the World and For the Heart I Once Had are about this child too.
But I could of course but completely wrong
Either you've JUST become a Nightwish fan, or you don't know much about them. Tuomas has never had a child, at least so far we know - he refers to himself as the 'Child' and 'Poet'.
