nox doesn´t mean knocks!!!
there´s nothing inside the song like “knock on the door” or something like that.
when i met you...[...] opportunity nox...
when i missed you... [...]opportunity nox...
that´s part of the chorus. believe me.

@ssitissanguinis: How do you know what is in the song and what is not?
Santi said on January 25, 2003 12:47:
Then what does it mean... is it followed by “down”? :D “nox down”? :DDDDDDDD
sitissanguinis said on January 25, 2003 17:13:
no, there´s no “down” after “nox” it´s just...
opportunity nox
and nox means nothing special, it´s no synonym for anything.
i know it... don´t want to say from where. not here. wait until it´s published and you see that i´m right.

if you know German take a look at the German forum’s thread:
http://www.roxetteforum.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=27...
and you will know what sitissanguinis means.
And I think sb already explained it before, and as Pietro said, nox does mean knocks, it is when opportunity comes your way, opportunity knocks on your door...

Sitissanguinis seems to not quite understand that the word “Nox” is a revised, slang-type spelling of the word “knocks.”
Consider this expression... “When opportunity knocks, will you be there to open the door?”
Don’t make this more complicated than it is. Nox = knocks ... just spelled differently, in an attempt to be “hip”.

@lars-erik olson
i don´t think so... why do you know/think that???
did you already listen to that song, too?

Opportunity Nox is an expression. It‘s not a word made up by Per. Translated it means Opportunity Knocks. Like you have the chance/opportunity right here,right now. The opportunity is waiting for you! For example you get an offer you can‘t say no to.

That opportunity nox... and nox and nox... and then keeps on noking on every door :D
