I think this is a direct reference to "Dead Boy's Poem" and "Bless the Child", that convey a child and their childhood being "dead" when they reach adulthood because they have lost all innocence.
Time will not heal a Dead Boy's scars.
Time will kill.
Is a statement saying that no one can go back to how they were in childhood, so the whole song is basically mourning what someone used to be like, and how they can't get it back due to the "weight of the world".
There are also countless references to the past and the child, something Tuomas constantly uses in his lyrics as a motif.
