Nightwish – Feel For You Lyrics 17 years ago
I keep wondering if this isnt a song about Tuomas, the last part ''This ones is for you'' is repeated several times as to make a point about something

Nightwish – Sacrament Of Wilderness Lyrics 17 years ago
Okay here I come with a theory that are far away from the others here.

I think that the song is about the band.

Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow
-The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves
An encounter, symbolic, yet truthfull
With a hungry choir of woods
An agreement immemorial to be born'

I think this is a reference to someone who is a good inspiration to the band/Tuomas and that they are listening to his works (or something) to make their own music.

Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest
Accompany all charming tunes
of a sacrament by a campfire
A promise between the tameless
and the one with a tool
Tonight the journey from cave begins

This is a clear reference to the creation of Nightwish, the idea came when Tuomas, Tanja and i think someone else was out hiking (sacrament by a campfire). ''A promise'' i think is about that Tuomas (the tameless) and Tanja (the one with a tool, her voice) desides to start the band.

I want to hunt with the tameless
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar
we will honor the angel in the snow
We will make the streams for our children flow

The first one and the second I think is about that he want to write what he want. The third is that they will honour their inspiration. And the last is that they will make their music for their future fans, their children.

Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights
From my cave I watch the land untamed
And wonder if some becoming season
will make the angel melt in shame

He is thinkinig how the future will be and how it looks right now. the last one is that he is thinking if he will someday become better than his inspiration.

Thats what Im thinking

Within Temptation – The Truth Beneath The Rose Lyrics 17 years ago
I think its about crusade sbut not only christian crusades, could be other religions.

In comment to mhorton about that almost all wars can be connected to religion I would rather say that ALL wars can be connected to religion. because as a character in one of my favourite books says: No army goes to war without thinkin that the creator (god, Allah, whatever) is with them.

Nightwish – Escapist Lyrics 17 years ago
As nobody else has commented on this one I do it. The song is about Tuomas as he in one interview said he is a owl in a golden cage. Meaning he is trapped behind a shiny and beautiful cage but is different inside

Nightwish – Bye Bye Beautiful Lyrics 17 years ago
This is my guess what the lyrics are about

Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man`s face red
With their own blood

They are tired that someone (tanjas husband) is earning money on their work, and now it feels fine again

They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins

The first one could be about that they wanted to try different things and so. The other is that the change was really fast, no one expected it (Tanjas marriage, what i understand she came from studying or something and was married).

Did you ever hear what I told you

Did she ever listened to what Tuomas/the band said

Did you ever read what I wrote you

Did she ever listen to what they wrote in the letter

Did you ever listen to what we played

Did she ever listened to the music, the meaning

Did you ever let in what the world said

Did she ever listened to what the fans or the band said (no idea)

Did we get this far just to feel your hate

Is she going to hate them for what she did

Did we play to become only pawns in the game

Did they play just only so she could do what she wanted

How blind can you be, don`t you see
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting

They are saying that it was her choise and if she want to come back (perhaps not inte the band but as their friend) they would welcome it

Bye bye beautiful
Bye bye beautiful

Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind
Dead siblings walking the dying earth

Jacobs i have no idea, could be a sense of guilt in Tuomas, Tanja or the Band. Blindfold could be a meaning to those who dont understand will still not really understand why they did what they did. Dead siblings are all fans who is still hoping that the band will come again.

Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
Slow toll now the funeral bells

This is about that they felt that the band problably is dead (Tuomas said in one intervue that there is no Nightwish without Tanja).

”I need to die to feel alive”

Sometimes you have to fail to go on, (could be a reference to Poet and the pendulum)

Did you ever hear what I told you
Did you ever read what I wrote you
Did you ever listen to what we played
Did you ever let in what the world said
Did we get this far just to feel your hate
Did we play to become only pawns in the game
How blind can you be, don`t you see
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting

Bye bye beautiful
Bye bye beautiful

It`s not the tree that forsakes the flower
But the flower that forsakes the tree
Someday I`ll learn to love these scars
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words

It wasn´t their fault, it was she who desided to do what she did. and as another said before, scars means that he will be happy that her words made him go forward again.

How blind can you be, don`t you see
How blind can you be, don`t you see
That the gambler lost all he does not have

Again as someone else said, she thought she owned Nightwish and lost it because of that.

Did you ever hear what I told you
Did you ever read what I wrote you
Did you ever listen to what we played
Did you ever let in what the world said
Did we get this far just to feel your hate
Did we play to become only pawns in the game
How blind can you be, don`t you see
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting

Bye bye beautiful
Bye bye beautiful

This is what I think anyway

Nightwish – Creek Mary's Blood Lyrics 17 years ago
It is about the indians he even contacted one indian (John two Hawk)to make the song. One fun thing its that after they had recorded ot John and his wife gave Tuomas a Indian name Sunkmanitutanka Nagi which means (great) shadow wolf.

Nightwish – Planet Hell Lyrics 17 years ago
My guess is that Plantet Hell is symbolising THIS planet, earth. If you look in the ONCE cd in the afterwords they write something like ''Thank you to all our fans on this Planet Hell''

Nightwish – Meadows of Heaven Lyrics 17 years ago
i think its about his childhoods home, His meadows of heaven. It´s is also singed in Poet and the Pendulum so it can be that he is writing about that he will never again sit in the woodenswing and the sandbox again.

But maybe you´re right Snow white queen. Theres alot of references to lost loves and stuff like that in his songs so maybe...

Nightwish – Ever Dream Lyrics 17 years ago
No you got it all wrong, he was never in love with Tanja. On nightwish homesite (in nightmail) he said that ''he and tanja had a special and emotional relationship without any romantic attatchments. The fire was burning between her voice and his songs.''

So sorry guys no romantic feelings there
