Song lyrics

Send "Dead Boy's Poem" ringtones to your cell

"I live no more to shame nor me nor you
I'm sorry"

Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home

Sing what you can't say
Forget what you can't play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
- My loveletter to nobody

Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and  told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night

Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god

Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and  told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night

If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker's cry the one without tears
For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother's lap,  chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life

Teach me passion for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell [this bitter farewell]
I live no more to shame nor me nor you

And you... I wish I didn't feel for you anymore...

A lonely soul... An ocean soul...

10 posts	Well, I think this song is more about a love hurt which triggers a suicide at the end, of a young boy... Yes very romantic indeed . DBP is a good song, with very emotional lyrics which fit perfectly, which triggers (with me) a lot of emotions, and toughts... But romantic? Not in this lifetime it's not!

251 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is a lovely song. It's a personal song by/about Tuomas. He's the Dead Boy. It's like the story of his life. I believe it's him saying his thank yous and sorrys to those he cares for. Not about a child committing suicide

512 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I saw an interview with Tuomas and Jukka, and he said, and I qoute: "The basic idea is if I were to die tomorrow, if I really died, there'd be so much I wanted to say. There are so many people whom I should thank, so many I should apologize to but haven't apologized. So many people I should tell to go fuck themselves but haven't had the guts to do so far. I just had to write a song for them. It might be that Dead Boy's Poem is the best song we ever wrote." Gotta love the guy. Still, I can really see the other thing with the suicide in here. Maybe it wasn't what they originally intended, but there are so many songs that work out that way. And do I really have to say that I love it??

128 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Ah amazing song! I love how it finishes with Tarja singing "a lonely soul...an ocean soul". It's really sad too. I still don't have the Wishmaster album, I need to get it; I have all the others. I heard this off the Highest Hopes cd.

50 posts	98% of Nightwish songs are written by Tuomas But there are some that seem like more personal than others... Ocean Soul Dead to the World Dead Boy's Poem Ghost Love Score They're all basically about him... Tuomas writes about himself, most of the time. And about things he experiences or feels... Like "Wish I had an Angel" is about a bar or something like that, Ive heard. This one, and the bonus track on Dark Passion Play "The Escapist" are one of my fav songs... But this one just sends chills down my spine, the way he writes, and the way he uses the words...
