Somehow when I analyse this, it makes me think of Tarja, a lot of songs on Once actually do. I started to think so because some of the lines in the chorus of Bye Bye Beautiful: "Did you ever hear what I told you, did you ever read what I wrote you, did you ever listen to what we played". That made me think that some of the songs were messages for Tarja and when you listen to some of the songs on Once, you start to see it. That's my interpretation however, not necessarily yours Anyway here's my analysis of the song. "We used to swim the same moonlight waters Oceans away from the wakeful day" They once had the same dreams and opinions of the music, and he thought that would never change. "My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I'll bleed forever" He cares a lot for her, sees her as a kindred spirit, which would make it so much more hurtful if she would betray him. "Scent of the sea before the waking of the world Brings me to thee, into the blue memory" The memories of the days when she was still like him when it came to music, before she changed, brings him some kind of sadness even though it is nice to think about it. "A siren from the deep came to me Sang my name my longing" She came into his life at the right time, and he saw how she could help him with sharing his poems and songs with the world, what he longed for the most. She is described as a siren, because of her amazing voice, but also because something was luring under the surface that he did not see at that moment. "Still I write my songs about that dream of mine Worth everything I may ever be" He still sees the music and lyrics as the most crucial thing, as the thing that is important to both of them. And that it will always be so. "The Child will be born again That siren carried him to me" She seemed like his muse, she gave him inspiration (the child being his innocence and the imagination for his songs). "First of them true loves Singing on the shoulders of an angel Without care for love n` loss" He thought that he had found a kindred spirit and he never thought it would be over so he flew high and felt happy. "Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night" He starts to feel that something is wrong and it leads to depression, he only finds comfort in something familiar. "I have lost the path before me The one behind will lead me" He has lost his course and only by remembering the values they had at the beginning he will find the right course again. "Take me Cure me Kill me Bring me home Every way Every day Just another loop in the hangman`s noose" He wants it all to stop, because he feels like he and the band is near the end no matter what they do. "Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home Every way, every day I keep on watching us sleep" Same as above. He feels that he can't wake the band again, that it's doomed. "Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve Of you and me Forgive the adoring beast" He feels like he was tempted into doing what he wished the most, because he found someone so much alike himself. And now he begs for forgiveness because he let himself be tempted in such a way that almost let him into decay. He sees himself as the Beast that fell in love with the Beauty because she saw something in him that not a lot others had. And now he sees that she betrayed him and he wants the world to forgive him for that. "Redeem me into childhood Show me myself without the shell" He wants his innocence and his dreaming back, he wants to feel like he can trust the world again, the trust she took away when she changed, because he was certain she was never going to, but he was wrong and he started to feel that something was wrong with his judgmental skills and therefore he could never trust anyone. "Like the advent of May I`ll be there when you say Time to never hold our love" He will be there when she confesses that her intentions were not as she first expressed them to be and that the mutual love for music is no longer there so there's no reason to think about it anymore. "My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I`ll bleed forever" After all what he gave for it to work out she kept going down another path that was so different from his own and because of that he feels like they have nothing in common anymore, which truly hurts him. Well that's my analysis and interpretation. You're allowed to disagree and I would love to hear your opinion. |
