Tallulah Lyrics
Sorry.. But I have to say that I disagree with mopi, although he has the basic idea down.
I believe this song is about "One way love", so to speak. He's in love with Tallulah, and the feelings that she had for him have basically faded away, or weren't there to begin with. She could have been confused, or simply leading him on.
They both thought that they would be together forever, until Tallulah begins to show that she doesn't feel the same way that he does. He notices that she's hesitant to leave him, so he does it for her with a kiss on the cheek, then leaves with only "Bye".
The song shows that he obviously isn't pleased with what happened by "I hope your wish came true, mine betrayed me."
The chorus shows that he thinks that things would be perfect if she would just give him the chance and try to make things work. "This could be heaven"
Then later on, he sees her walking with the drummer of a band, who thinks that he's in love with her, but the feelings aren't true, just as she had felt for the main character before. He also realizes that he still has the same feelings for her as he did before.
I absolutely love this song, and it's really touching, even more so if you've experienced this before.
This song makes me wanna cry for some reason.
This songs is my fave by Sonata Arctica !!!!! Sonata Arctica ROCKS !!!!!!!!
This song unbelievably magnificant just like every other Sonata Arctica song. Tony K. is an awsome singer and writes the best lyrics of the struggle of seeking true love. Sonata Arctica is the best band ever.
me encanta esta canción. tiene una letra preciosa y me identifico mucho cn ella, aunq no del todo.aún la conocí hoy pero me gustó mucho y llevo toda la tarde escuchandola. I'm sorry for writing in spanish, but i'm spanish. :):)
This guy is going out with Tallulah and he sees she doesn't know how to tell him that she think they should maybe break up, so he spare her the hard part by going away from her, even though he still love her. Now he sees her some times later and she made up a life with someone else. He still love, and he know she still love him so he decide it is best if he doesn't talk to her anymore. The past is just to hard to live in the present.
A great song about a broken heart.
O, geez, Sonata Arctica IS the best band ever, and Tony K is just incredible. Did you know that English is Sonata Arctica's second language? That's just incredible. And so is this song.
I think Misery05 hit the nail on the head there, at least in tune with what I think this song means. The line "Don´t even dare to say you hi, still swallowing the goodbye" clearly shows that he still hasn't got over it yet (I know that feeling well) though it seems she's dealt with it and moved on already.
In passing, I found there's a short story called Tallulah, which I saw described as a sotry about "love and loss" which seems ot be rather appropriate here. I've not read it myself so I don't know exactly what it's about but given that Tallulah isn't exactly a very common name to use (I think) I wonder if this song was inspired by said story.
Misery05 has it down EXACTLY. I have been in his position, maybe not as widescale as that. But the song is touching. His sorrow and love is expressed very well in this song.
i love the line, actually, maybe 'love' is the wrong word, but anyway the line "I see you walking hand in hand with long-haired drummer of the band." that's good. and sad.
