Yours Is an Empty Hope Lyrics

Lyric discussion by HiggsBoson

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?

My Interpretation

@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.
