Avantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when I think of her I feel it grow
Something begs me to come home again
Something I can hardly stand
But I'm to defy, I have to ignore her cry
I don't know what to do, I'm missing you so bad
Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again
Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine
Where are you now if you are there anywhere
Please forgive me for how I decide
But before I can come with rapid strides
Don't expect you'll have to understand
Jakob needs my helping hand
First I have to go one out of two ways
Which both are wrong and I'm to go
So afraid, so ashamed
So deranged - but I know...
Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light
Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again
Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine
Where are you now if you are there
Anywhere, anywhere...
Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light...
I can't wait for you - Are you there - anywhere
The song "Anywhere" by Avantasia is a tale of heartbreak and the difficult choices one has to make when love is involved. The singer of the song is torn between his past love and his present duties. He remembers the love he shared with her, even though it was long ago, and feels a longing to return to her. However, he cannot bring himself to do so because he is bound by duty to help someone named Jakob. The singer is torn between two difficult choices and is forced to make a decision that will affect the lives of those around him.
The lyrics are filled with emotion and convey the longing and pain that comes with heartbreak. The singer is waiting for tomorrow to see his love's smile again and to take away the sorrow from his 'blistered heart.' He asks for forgiveness for his decision, knowing that it might not be understood by his loved one. At the end of the song, he is left with the question of whether his love is still there, anywhere.
Overall, "Anywhere" is a powerful ballad that tells a story of difficult choices, love, and heartbreak.
Line by Line Meaning
I remember it was long ago
I recall a distant past when I was with her
But when I think of her I feel it grow
Thoughts of her make my longing stronger
Something begs me to come home again
An inner voice urges me to return to her
Something I can hardly stand
But the pain of separation is almost unbearable
But I'm to defy, I have to ignore her cry
I must resist the temptation to go back, even if she pleads with me
I don't know what to do, I'm missing you so bad
I am torn and lost without her by my side
Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light
Hoping for a brighter future, a glimmer of hope
Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again
Longing to see her smile and be happy
Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine
Wishing for someone to heal my broken heart
Where are you now if you are there anywhere
Wondering where she is and if she still cares
Please forgive me for how I decide
Asking for forgiveness for what I must do
But before I can come with rapid strides
Before I can return to her quickly
Don't expect you'll have to understand
Not expecting her to comprehend my actions
Jakob needs my helping hand
Someone else requires my assistance
First I have to go one out of two ways
I must choose between two options
Which both are wrong and I'm to go
Neither option is ideal, but I must make a decision
So afraid, so ashamed
Feeling terrified and guilty
So deranged - but I know...
Feeling crazy and irrational, but still aware of my situation
I can't wait for you - Are you there - anywhere
I cannot wait any longer for her - asking if she even exists or cares
