Letra y Significado de THE POET AND THE PENDULUM, Nightwish


ilse minerva opina:

Puesto #1 Ahora, The Poet And The Pendulum, es una canción con la que Tuomas decidió soltar todo lo que sintió tras la salida de Traja Turunen y las consecuencias de ello en general; sociales y emocionales. Esta canción, además, está fuertemente influenciada por la obra "The Pit And The Pendulum" de Edgar Allan Poe, empezando por el nombre y la portada del álbum, y continuando con su temática misma y forma de expresar y analizar la situación que desea. En dicha obra, un hombre se halla en una habitación oscura, esperando por su ejecución, misma que sería realizada por una cuchilla. Entiéndase eso aquí como que Tuomas se puso a esperar su ejecución tras sacar a Tarja, sabiendo el impacto que ello tendría en sí mismo; su impacto emocional directo, la incertidumbre y alto rechazo de sus fans que se supone que lo apoyaban. Es una canción tan profunda para Tuomas que, según sus propias palabras en una entrevista, cuando recién la sacó, y necesitaban tocarla en conciertos, él necesitaba usar ciertos filtros para no escuchar la letra y así poder llegar a completarla en la presentación. Simplemente, le costaba el hecho mismo de tocar esa canción gracias a todo lo que depositó en ésta.


1 - White Lands Of Empathica

(Dead Boys whisperes something:)

(Boy soprano:)
The end
The songwriter's dead
The blade fell upon him
Taking him to the white land of emphatica,of innocence
The poet ??? meadows of heaven

2 - Home

The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A window writer torn apart
By chains of hell

One last perfect verse
It's still the same old song
Oh Christ how I hate
What I have become

Take me home

Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world
Forgive me, I have bur two faces
One for the world,
One for God, save me
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world

My home was there at last, these meadows of heaven
The venture filled days more with every smiling face
Please no more words
Those from a seventh hell
No more, please tell me once my heart goes by

Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world
Forgive me, I have bur two faces
One for the world,
One for God, save me
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world
Whore for this cold world
Whore for this cold world

3 - The Pacific

Sparkle, a scenery
With childish lies, I fall
With beauty underneath
The end, I'm free

Tuck me in
Beneath the blue
Beneath the great
Beneath the ray
One night reigns a journey in time
See them, the light

(Anette + Boy soprano:)
On the shore he sat and hoped
Under the same belief
Blue sky, the light chose you
Shows you hope

(Dead boy whisperes:)
I'm afraid, so afraid of being raped
Again and again and again
I know I will die alone, but loved
You live long enough to hear the sound of chaos
Long enough to find yourself screaming
And if you want
Live long enough to see your best friends betray you
Years have I been stripped unto this altar
Now I only have three minutes left to live
I just wish the tide would catch me first
And give me a death
As I hoped for

4 - Dark Passion Play

(Marco:)
??? Drum the ride up, Christ
Join in Hell and fantasize
The whole world would it take to ???
And cross will stop the ??? however
Run away
Everyone must bury their own
The victim buried their heart under stone
????
????

(Anette:)
The morning dawn upon this altar
Remains of the dark passion play
Preformed by his friends without shame
Screaming on his curse ???

Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world
Forgive me, I have bur two faces
One for the world,
One for God, save me
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world
The whore for this cold world
The whore for this cold world

(Dead Boy:)
Today,in the year of our Lord 2005
Tuomas was called from the cares of the world
To stop crying at the end of this beautiful day
The music he wrote, at long pain, about silence
He was found, walking, dead, with smile on his face
And one thousand pages of erased text

(Choir:)
Save me

5 - Mother & Father

(Anette:)
They've stilled my sun, your life
Oh when did you become so cold?
The bleed will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love

Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all
Bleed no more
You had such oceans within
In the end I will always love you

(Dead Boy:)
"A new beginning"
