This is, in my opinion, makes the lines sound awkward, because then it doesn't explain the weird construction in the other lines of the chorus.īut, if you look at the beginning of each line as a full word that has its own meaning, it makes much more sense. "Ever felt away with me? Ever dream of me?". I think the trap in this case is to fall back on normal English conventions and assume that the lines, in their unaltered form, are questions. Forevermore means forever, and evermore means always ("ever"). If you look up the origins of words like these, you'll find that they're not exactly standalone words, but are simply more stylistic ways of relaying the meaning of the root word. The way I read it is that the phrases "ever felt" and "ever dream" are stylized similar to words such as "forevermore", "evermore", etc. I would argue that the lyrics are the way they are for purely artistic reasons, not because of a loss to translation into English. TL DR: This is all completely subjective but to me Tuomas wanted up in dat ass, but never got it and so he wrote some shit about it without making a song called "Hey Tarja, let's fuck, no seriously let's do it". If we look further on into the Nightwish library, we find other songs that feature lots of questions to someone, such as: Is that a matter of style, better understanding of English on her part (and maybe her own interpretation of the lyrics), or intentional? I don't know, but to me it sure seems like it's the case. If you watch the newer live performances with Floor, and having seen them perform the song live with her, she does put a slight bit more of a pause in between words than Tarja did. It's sung differently, but to me that seems the intent behind the lyrics. If you look at it that way, it's kinda clear what he's talking about. I think he just went a lot further into poetic license than most of their other songs, but it's clearly a song of deep longing, questions, a search for love. Given his command of English, it's pretty clear that he intended for it to be this way.

It feels like a glaring mistake at first. The worst line for me is "Just once that all I need".

There are two other songs I want to talk about and these are Planet Hell and Creek Marys Blood. Tarjas singing is spot on in this track and to me its a toss up between this and Ever Dream for best Nightwish power ballad. Joking aside, I love the song, but it took a while because of the mental disconnect required to sit back and just go with the lyrics. Nemo is a top notch power ballad with one of the simplest but most moving piano melodies Ive ever heard.

I think he was just so messed up and blinded by his unrequited hard on for Tarja he just forgot how to write for a bit, but the song was awesome so they were like, "Fuck it.
