| Nightwish – Angels Fall First Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| A young woman dies, and the POET wishes to get a glimpse of the Heaven she's in to gain comfort from the thought, slight as it may be. And try to remember that the singer has next to nothing to do with the meaning - it's Tuomas who wrote the lyrics! | |
| Nightwish – Whoever Brings the Night Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Nothing to do with sirens, for heavens's sake, except figuratively! XD Just about a harem betraying its "clients", and more widely how easy it is to seduce men. Yes, it's a shame sometimes, being a man... :/ "Underwater", into the irresistible pleasure of - well, to put it bluntly - sex. Once you have experienced it, you can't despise these women for doing it all day and night... ;) Unless you've got spine and can resist (the opposite) sex, which I value. As for the rotten beauty - remember the last line of Beauty and the Beast... I have to say though, that if Nightwish has ever made a bad song, it's this. I almost hate it. (I'ts just so vain...The most vain NW song ever. Other ones are MPG and CoHLB.) It doesn't have that spark in the eye like "Know Why...", "Nymphomaniac..." and "She Is My Sin". Well, I've noticed that I don't usually like the songs which Emppu has helped write. The Siren was an exception. So go figure. |

| Nightwish – She Is My Sin Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| For me, this song means pretty much this: the man lusts AND loves a woman, but he knows that the lust is stronger - after a one night- stand it'd be over. He doesn't want to sin/hurt the woman (emotionally), (bride too dear for him), but can't help himself. Also, "I do envy the sinners" refers to the "real" sinners, those who don't bother thinking whether something's wrong. They just do what they "will". >:) | |

As a great fan of Nightwish, an adept English speaker and a native Finnish speaker, I MUST correct the mistakes here. Here's the CORRECT translation, made by me, and I daresay it's the best you'll ever see, unless you're so lucky as to see the one Tuomas himself made. Sorry if I seem cocky, but because I'm pernickety and adept, I take it as a sort of a duty to correct these sort of things. :) Death Makes An Artist Once only I got to see my dream I didn't feel smallness under the stars Once I got bars to my cradle From there a letter I write, as prisoner My Maker, to you Let me be come What my child believes I am In you the beauty of the world Death from which made me an artist My Maker... Here I created my own heaven Let me get away [2x] So the death is "died" from the beauty of the world. The meaning of the title is that you must lose something very dear to you, and the longing and other feelings for it - only them - make you able to write amazing songs, make great paintings or smt like that. Bittersweet. :/ The translation is also available in youtube, in the comments of the video where "EscapistPoet" sings this song - in Finnish! (She's French.) And my, she rocks! |

And what proof, exactly, is there to show that these journeys aren't, for example, mushroom based...? ;) The question, the title, I think means these things: what was said about male and female nightingales - for the sake of spark-eyed devilry -, and also that questions themselves can be answers/not every question needs an answer/not every answer is given, some things you must realize youself. Spark in the eye. ;) |

| Oh damn, someone had already replied on the shoulder. Only noticed now. Bugger... XD | |
| Nightwish – The Poet And The Pendulum Lyrics | 16 years ago |

The part "The shoulder cries more" means, I believe, that the shoulder you have cried against before now has worries of its own. You can no longer rely upon it to console you. Of course, tis just a humble opinion of this Finnish Nightwish fan... And the "Year of our Lord" I think is just a saying. No references to the birth of Christ, I guess every year is a year of Lord for Christians. (I'm no longer Christian. I'm nothing at the moment. XD) |
