I tried to sing the song she liked, I sing well, she liked them, but it doesn't work. With his music, Tuomas wanted to be a beautiful person, to make fall in love that girl he loves, writing songs for her. Through my music, through my silent devotion" "I only wished to become something beautiful I didn't have friends because people thought I was weird, I'm spanish and I live in a very little town, I was the 13 years kids with the Iron Maiden t-shirt who loved videogames, everyone here thought I was a freak, I was apart from the rest of the world, "the sea" as he says in the next verses.Īs I said, I was REALLY in love with this girl, so was Tuomas too, but this girl is not a exception, she thought I was a freak too, she wouldn't have never go to street with me, I was beast and she was the beauty, she is a normal girl, she is not a goth, she is not heavy, she's not emo, but she is still perfect and she is accepted in the world, she is part of the sea, not like me, I'm not a part of the sea, and I thought every day to become one of them, a ordinary guy who plays football and listen to pop music and goes to the gym to be fit, to be one with the seas, to stop wearing black clothes, to stop being like me, to be one with the seas, to be one more wave. Tuomas feels like me, in this song, he cries to sleep every night but nothing gets better, he is still alone and sad. I cryed almost every night, and this is what this song is about, is just my history years ago.

General CommentThis song means the world to me and this is my point of view, I relate too much to the lyrics, for better or worst.Years ago, when I was about 13-15 I didn't have any friend, no one, and was what worse, I was truly in love with a girl that thought I was ugly and weird.

I started to think at it when I saw Ever Dream performed in End Of An Era, so I read all the lyrics and I found many refers to her, so I like to think it. But I think that all his songs are nothing that a great loveletter to Tarja Turunen, his one and only love. I think that all Nightwish songs have great lyrics, that I like to comment and study like true poems, because Tuomas, in my opinion, is one of the best contemporary poets I ever read, and one of the few writers of these times that I like. he saw her like an angel sent on Earth, something like Beatrice in Dante's Divine Comedy, while he knew that this character of ethereal woman couldn't exist, and this topic (the fading of the angelic image) is the main topic of the album Once, that, on the artwork, shows what? A fallen angel crying on a marble tomb. These lines wanted to say, in my opinion, that Tuomas' love for Tarja, in the years he wrote Century Child, was not an emotion, but something more than it, a DEVOTION. This is in my opinion the key to understand many Tuomas poems: he is a beast, that TRIES to become something beautiful through its art (another link to Sappho's Last Song), and this topic is present also in other songs, like Beauty of the Beast and Swanheart, some of Tuomas' most personal songs.ĭefinitely, Ocean Soul is the clef-de-voute to understand all Tuomas' poetry, and it looks very strange to me that this song has such few comments, while it's one of the most difficult Tuomas' poems to undestand. Through my music, through my silent devotion. I only wished to become something beautiful But he never confessed his love to her, because he felt deep in himself that Tarja couldn't love one like him, so he never tried to confess his feelings to her. Should I dress in white and search the seaĪs I always wished to be - one with the wavesĪlso I think Tuomas always considered himself like a beats, an ugly person, being in love with a beautiful woman (i guess, and I like to guess she was Tarja). The lyrics are vey similar to the beautiful poem "Ultimo canto di Saffo" (Sappho's Last Song), by Giacomo Leopardi. General CommentBeautiful song, it reminds me of the legend of Sappho, who, in the Greek myth, committed suicide because of his love with Phaon, and died in the ocean.
