Last Song Syndrome - 1

Last Song Syndrome
I don't know why this song keeps on running inside my head since yesterday when I watched it's music video on YouTube. Yes, until now. It keeps my head banging from side to side. It keeps me saying the line "Did we play to become only pawns in the game?"

This song was entitled "Bye Bye Beautiful" which was sang by the symphonic metal band Nightwish. It was said that the song were written for the former vocalist of the band Tarja who left the band after getting married. There's also an issue that the true meaning of the song was a band member was in loved with Tarja and got jealoused when she got married.


I can feel some anger inside the song. I don't know if you can relate with this. I embedded here the music video I got from YouTube and below is the lyrics.




Bye Bye Beautiful
- NightWish -

Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man`s face red
With their own blood.

They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins.

Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don`t you see
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting

Bye bye beautiful!
Bye bye beautiful!

Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind
Dead siblings walking the dying earth.

Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
Slow toll now the funeral bells.

”I need to die to feel alive!”

Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don`t you see
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting.

Bye bye beautiful!
Bye bye beautiful!
Bye bye beautiful!
Bye bye beautiful!

It`s not the tree that forsakes the flower
But the flower that forsakes the tree
Someday I`ll learn to love these scars
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words

...How blind can you be, don`t you see...
...How blind can you be, don`t you see... 
...How blind can you be, don`t you see...
...that the gambler lost all he does not have...

Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don`t you see
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting!

Bye bye, beautiful!
Bye bye, beautiful!
Bye bye, beautiful!
BYE! BYE! BYE! BYE!
