Ever Dream
Nightwish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ever felt away with me
Just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me
My love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me

Would you do it with me
Heal the scars and change the stars
Would you do it for me
Turn loose the heaven within

I'd take you away
Castaway on a lonely day
Bosom for a teary cheek
My song can but borrow your grace

Ever felt away

Come out, come out wherever you are
So lost in your sea
Give in, give in for my touch
For my taste for my lust

Ever felt away

Your beauty cascaded on me
In this white night fantasy

Ever felt away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nightwish's song Ever Dream evoke intense feelings of longing, love and desire. The opening line of "Ever felt away with me" sets a dreamy and ethereal tone for the song, drawing the listener in with its catchy melody and poetic phrasing. The singer is asking the listener if they have ever felt connected to someone else in such an intense and meaningful way that it defies description. The line "Just once that all I need" speaks to the desire for a deep and true connection with someone, even if it only happens once.


The next few lines continue this theme of searching for that one special person, with the words "Entwined in finding you one day" hinting at the idea of a soulmate or twin flame. The singer then asks if the listener has ever felt lost and disconnected without the object of their affection, before declaring that their own love for that person "lies so deep". The chorus of "Ever dream of me" is a plea for the listener to keep them in their thoughts and dreams, to hold onto that connection even when they are apart.


The rest of the lyrics are a mix of longing and desire, with the singer asking if the listener would do anything to be with them, to heal their scars and change their destiny. The lines "I'd take you away, castaway on a lonely day" suggest a desire to escape the mundane or difficult aspects of life together, while the imagery of a "teary cheek" and "borrowed grace" speak to a deep and emotional connection. The song ends on a final chorus of "Ever felt away", repeating the sense of longing and desire that permeates the entire track.


Overall, Ever Dream is a song about the joys and sorrows of love, and the intense connection that can be forged between two people who are meant to be together. With its soaring melodies and evocative lyrics, it is a true standout in Nightwish's discography.

@@tyryztoll yeah marcos power - range AND his fucking lung capacity and sustain are and were fucking incredible.

IDK why they would hire a new bass player without at least some singing ability. It's just essential to the band at this point - Troy is great tho on songs that dont have a lot of range and are in easy keys like sayyyyy

He just has no UMPH behind his voice at all.

Not bashing the drummer or the current bass player at all - they were hired and are doing their jobs just fine. The drummer is quite excellent actually, but man Jukka was way cooler looking lol. Dude should use his new Nightwish level income for some hair plugs - also i hate that this is coming out of my mouth but the new bassist is pretty ugly too lmao. When you think of Scandanavian viking style men you think of the Brock Lesnars, the Marco Heitalas, the Alexander Skarsgaard's etc - not these guys lol. I dont want them gone or anything, im just saying. Presentation helps A LOT in music.

Speaking of income and ill end with this: I heard that Marco Heitala left the band because of idk i cant remember but it was like "the lack of upward mobility or oppurtunity in the industry" - idk - i didnt look into it and i probly should but at the time thats all i read - sooo wtf man - your a world famous rockstar and beloved by all that hear you... I mean i get it if he was just burnt out - it is EXHAUSTING playing a lot ( i played 3-5 nights a week sometimes in college/post college bands as a guitarist and I would have to ice my hand sometimes ( we covered some Dream Theater AND some Joe Satriani LOL - so long and technical intrumentals= -pain lool.

Thanks Floor !! After this would it be too shameless to ask if you guys could also upload a high quality version of "Song of Myself" ? That performance is too epic for there not to be an official live version 😉
