Yours Is an Empty Hope Lyrics
Tear me to bits enjoy the scene
Of screen name verbal vanity
Churning the words imbued in filth
Your tongue oily water under my bridge
You have the world, it's all for you
I wish you'd find the lost in you
Grateful for the pain, it proves we're alive
Can you feel it?
I can't make you want the truth
It's up to you
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope
Feed me to pigs in your fantasies
Your sea roars bitter elegies
Like Narcissus who bribes the pool
A hollow voice, ruin with a roof
Stop! Life is now, still all for you
Turn from the hate, turn from the smoke
I see the parchment of your soul
The notes, the song
Join your voice
I can let you have the world
It's all for you
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an
emp-ty hope
Yours is a
dying love
I can let you have the world
It's all for you
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope
Of screen name verbal vanity
Churning the words imbued in filth
Your tongue oily water under my bridge
I wish you'd find the lost in you
Grateful for the pain, it proves we're alive
Can you feel it?
It's up to you
Yours is an empty hope
Your sea roars bitter elegies
Like Narcissus who bribes the pool
A hollow voice, ruin with a roof
Turn from the hate, turn from the smoke
I see the parchment of your soul
The notes, the song
Join your voice
It's all for you
Yours is an empty hope
emp-ty hope
Yours is a
dying love
It's all for you
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope

I think it is about the empty hope that some Nightwish/Tarja fans (but who are trolls too) have about having the original Nightwish band back and the fact that they still blame and hate Tuomas for her departure from Nightwish. When Tuomas says that " life is now" is for them to enjoy what they got now which is the new songs and the band as it is now. He talks about a new world which means that there is new music being created and it's still all for the fans if they are willing to accept it and enjoy it. I guess...

I guess he is right, people should learn to enjoy the now instead of living stuck and bitter about what they think they lost. That applies to Nightwish but that also applies to everything in life. Stop crying over the past and what you lost and enjoy the now, people!
I think it's about the author and someone has had a great disagreement. The author is fine and has moved on. But the other person still holds resentment and bitterness and it's destroying them. The author knows this and wishes to help, but their patience was worn thin and just wants to shout at them to "MOVE ON".
It's not good to harbor bitterness. Forgive and move on. It's not your problem anymore.
@bluebottleblue It's for the followers of the other person, if you check the history of this band then you will understand...

The lyrics are completely incorrect. The original lyrics seem to talk about people using the internet to their narcissistic advantage. It seems implied anyway, especially with the correct line, "Of screen name verbal vanity", and the mention of Narcissus and so on.
I highly doubt this song is about Tarja or even Anette. It would be childish to hold on to conflicts from many years ago as grudges.
Well Tuomas said in an interview that he wanted to write such song to get it out of his system. Marco helped with writing the lyrics. He clarified that it doesn't have to do with the album concept. I think it has something to do with Tarja. Was anyone able to grip another notion?
@HiggsBoson you know the song sounds so strange, so bitter. So if it has something to do with Tarja, then what is Tuomas's problem? It has been years since they kicked her out. She moved on long time ago, I thought NW did too as well. Why returning to the subject (again) after all those years?

@HiggsBoson It's got nothing to do with Tarja. It has to do with, essentially, seizing the day.

@HiggsBoson There wasn't even a song for Tarja on Imaginaerum. Why on EFMB then? Maybe this one is for Anette but most probably for nobody specific.

@HiggsBoson @alexander2 If it's for Anette or Tarja, then Tuomas is a SAVAGE. "A hollow voice ruin with a roof". Damn!... Hopefully it's not about either of them though.

@HiggsBoson It's not for Tarja but for her trolls followers called Tarjaholics who always attack Nightwish and their singers after Tarja quit from it. And the funny thing is they have a wish that somehow and someday later, Tarja will rejoin with Nightwish again... For them that's the ideal condition...

greg109507o Yes it is about the empty hope that these trolls have about Tarja returning to Nightwish and the fact that they still hate Tuomas for her departure from Nightwish.

Some say it's attacking religious faith some say no, well, I won't talk sh*t about what it is like certain people do, let alone with nerdy verborragic arrogance.
Why should we ever have expected decent behavior from a morally deficient being who hasn't had a proper job for decades, and who profits from the myth that there is any such thing as intellectual property? (There isn't. Neither "music" nor "journalism" nor "web design" are actual productive work). The song is about the "horror" of non-fans using the medium of the internet to express themselves authentically. Tuomas, like any celebrity (or any religious person, or, tragicallly, most non-white persons of a certain age), believes he is part of some special elite above the rest of the human race, deserving of protection from authentic expression of other peoples' opinions (which they can designate "hate speech"). What's at the root of what we're witnessing here? Arrogance, or timidity, or megalomania, or all three? It doesn't matter. What we know we're witnessing is advocacy of censorship. Censorship is nothing to do with governments, censorship is "anyone at any time attempting to police someone else's self-expression". It is inherently "dehumanizing" in a way that no act of violence is.
You don't know nothing you're talking about, totally crazy comment by someone who probably believes in libertarian utopy. Thinking is also an act, something created by a group using the mind to be sold is a propriety of that group, when you build something physical you also use intellect for it. you don't know how music, religion, journalism and many other things work, and you don't know anything about many other things you talk about with arrogance and presumption, the only indecent person here is you, with your autistic robot-like ancap nerdy souless racist sh*t.
