| Sonata Arctica – No Dream Can Heal A Broken Heart Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| You're right in the fact that we both agree that he's the victim. Our reasoning is different, but both of them makes sense. But that's what I love about Sonata songs, you can interpret them in whatever way that lets you connect to the song. My interpretation, for example, strikes home in the way that I heard it, which is the plausible reasoning for how I took it. | |

Alright, let's give this a go. My dream, it seems, fails to see the mornings My one and only aim I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness I feel something on my lips I should not The narrator is telling us about how he is in love with this girl, and only sees her in his dreams, but they never come true. Having his dream of being with her is his only goal in life. In his dream his girl kisses him, but he knows that he shouldn't let her. One, too many poison kisses And I'm drowning in the deepest sea I found my destiny, something I'm here for I'm knocking on my heaven's door He refers to the kisses as poison because he knows that nothing but hurt is going to come from them, and he's just hurting them. He describes his pain as "drowning in the deepest sea". He has found true love in this girl though, and says it's his destiny and he's going to get it. One day we will run out of tomorrows And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of Ok, here I think he's talking to the girl he loves, who clearly doesn't love him back, and he's trying to convince her to be with him by telling her that soon, there will be no more time to be with anyone else, and he wants to dream about all the things they'd do as a couple. Until today, I lived in the shadow world Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated Independent thought deleted... Here I think he wins the girl back, although she doesn't feel as strong for him like he does to her. Here we also see something that can be seen a lot in real life situations. He is so in love with her, but he knows that being with her will only cause him pain in the end, which is brain is telling him, however his love for her is too strong, so it blocks out the warnings his brain is telling him. One too many poisoned kisses... And I'm drowning in your deepest sea I found my destiny, something I'm here for... I'm knockin' on my heaven's door. And the map to find my sleeping wishes Is hidden where I cannot see When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses To fall back in a living dream... Alright, here the narrator is wanting to know what he has to do to win his love back for good, or "map" if you will. When he awakes from his dreams about her he is realizing that it is all fake, and he needs her "poison kisses" or lies, to calm himself down and continue living his "dream". "Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong. If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong... So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see If the life beyond this dream is what you seek..." Here it's his love speaking. She's telling him to be strong in his feelings for her. That if he can hear a "song" when he sees her then he's found the right one. I'm guessing the love betrayed the lover, which he why they broke up, and now she's telling him to trust her again. And then the last line she tells him that once he dies, he'll be able to live his dream with her. "Fill your deepest wishes, Come take my poison kisses Life is too short, this golden hour lats for a lifetime..." Here she's telling him to futfill his dreams by taking her kisses, which she knows shes giving him falsely. Even though it's false he should enjoy it because he'll have the memories, even if it hurts. Give me your poison kiss, Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now He's asking her to send him into a sleep with her kiss, so that he can dream about her. With your poisoned lips Oh, come night, I want my missing wish Help me get one kiss, somehow Hold me now No dream can heal a broken heart... When we're apart... Ok, here he finally comes out and admits that his dreams are not true, and that all she's doing to him is hurting him, and it broke his heart. By "when we're apart" he means that when they're not together in a relationship, not just physically in the same room which i'm sure some people will think it as. ...On the sea of wishes My dream that no one misses Tears me apart, always somehow Goodbye love... Again, he's saying how his dreams are great, and he wishes that they could become reality and he could be with his love, but all it does is hurt him and break his heart further. At the end he simply says goodbye to her, perhaps for forever. |
