I Walk Alone Lyrics

Put all your angels on the edge
Keep all the roses, I'm not dead
I left a thorn under your bed

I'm never gone

Go tell the world I'm still around
I didn't fly, I'm coming down
You are the wind, the only sound

Whisper to my heart
When hope is torn apart
And no one can save you

I walk alone
Every step I take
I walk alone

My winter storm
Holding me awake
It's never gone
When I walk alone

Go back to sleep forever more
Far from your fools and lock the door
They're all around and they'll make sure

You don't have to see
What I turned out to be
No one can help you

I walk alone
Every step I take
I walk alone

My winter storm
Holding me awake
It's never gone
When I walk alone

Waiting up in heaven
I was never far from you
Spinning down I felt your every move

I walk alone
Every step I take
I walk alone

My winter storm
Holding me awake
It's never gone
When I walk alone

Why the hell do people call Tarja a diva? Celine Dion is a diva, but no body hates her. Tarja is a finnish classical singer, and the reason she get attention at all is due to her amazing voice. What about the american idols, those are the greedy divas! They sing so they can be stars, Tarja sings because it is her life.

And now over to the song: It sounds to me that several of the songs on the My Winter Storm CD is dedicated to NW.

My Winterstorm... i think it refers to her time after being dumped by NW. A winterstorm is cold, unpleasant and deadly, Tarja survived the winterstorm after NW, and wants to remind them that she isnt gone yet.

we call her a dive 'cause that's what she is!

''I left a thorn under your bed''

She tells Tuomas that she will make her revenge or something like that...she prepared him a trap or something,the torn under his bed

''My winter storm Holding me awake''

her behaviour still remains the same,she's still an ice queen,greedy diva...her winter storm keeps her awake

''You don't have to see What I turned out to be No one can help you''

well,she turned up to another person,she is not the same,lovely girl they used to know,she's now a ''diva'' who knows what she wants

I think it is a response to NW, telling them that she's still here and stronger than ever. I think the doll persona is about showing she's not as fragile as people might think, becoming a phoenix and rising above all she's been put through. I hope all her songs will be as strong as this.

Well put Fucoc. I admire Tarja for how well she's come through her trials, and produced such a fine album.

The song is directly content to her being fired from Nightwish. Rather than dwelling with the scenario, Tarja chose to write and sing her own songs(like this one). She's actually telling Tuomas, the rest of Nightwish and EVERYONE that she will move on with her music career, alone.

Song Meaning

It's much harder for some to be alone than others. I hope nobody's ever truly alone. Much rather see them with someone else than alone. When one curtain closes, there's usually a window somewhere that opens. I hope so anyway...

I dont think the lyrics for this song are too complicated but its her different personas that confuse me in the video, especially the phoenix and doll ones. Great song though!

I haven't actually seen the video, but the song is pretty clear. You said something about a phoenix? Phoenix die in a big ball of fire, then are reborn in all their former glory from the ashes of their corpse. "Keep all the roses I'm not dead", implying people think she's over with, "Go tell the world I'm still around", indicating this as a sort of announcement... see?

Is this song a response to NW, or is it totally random?

Tarja said in an interview that this was not a response to nightwish but that someone had sent her this song and that she loved it because it had such a strong sound
