Ghost Love Score
Nightwish - Floor Jansen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oceans away from the wakeful day
My fall will be for you
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever
Scent of the sea before waking afterwards
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory
My fall will be for you
Into the blue memory
A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be
The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true lovers
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love n' loss
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
the one behind will lead me
Take meCure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose
Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep
Relive the old sin of
Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast
Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love
My fall will be for you
The opening lines of Nightwish's Ghost Love Score perfectly sets the tone of the entire song. It speaks of two people who used to share a beautiful connection, swimming in the same moonlight waters and far away from the reality of everyday life. The lyrics suggest their love for each other is deep and they are so intertwined that any fall or suffering they might endure will be for the other. The line "If you be the one to cut me, I'll bleed forever" is a beautiful metaphor suggesting their love is never-ending, and if one were to leave the other, the love would still remain as a part of them always.
Furthermore, the song speaks about the power of memory and how it can transport someone to a different time and place where they felt boundless happiness. The scent of the sea before waking can trigger thoughts of someone special and transport the singer to a world of blue memory. The song also mentions a siren who brings the child of one of the true lovers, showing how the power of love goes beyond the ordinary world. The repeated lyrics "Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home" might suggest a longing for a certain kind of love where one feels complete and safe, no matter the cost.
Overall, the lyrics of Ghost Love Score speak about a love that is powerful enough to transcend time and space, that goes beyond reality and enters the realm of dreams and memories. It's a beautiful song about being lost, being found, and most importantly- being loved.

This entire Wacken 2013 performance shows Floor in absolute and full vocal glory.
She always was and still is supremely good.
But that night she surpassed herself.
This is, hands down, one of the best vocal performances I have ever heard.
I believe she is in her later vocal prime currently, her absolute peak being roughly 2010-2013, and now still being VERY far away from vocal decline.
Imagine being in your later vocal prime and still being better than 99,9% of singers will ever be on their best day.
Also, her vocal prime is pretty prolonged compared to most other singers.
She is also so consistent in her singing.
When this show took place, she already was a performing singer for over 15 years.
Now this show is almost a decade old. And she still is amazing.
That is very impressive. She kept getting better consistently for a long time,
she prolongs her vocal prime to well over a decade, more like 15 years, and her vocal decline (which will happen. it happens to every single singer eventually. It is natural and inevitable.)
will presumably happen firstly: very late and secondly: very slowly.
I never was so impressed and in awe by any other contemporary singer.
Her range, breath support, breath control, coordination, intonation, projection, versatility, expression, diction, longevity, efficiency, consistency, vocal control, stage presence, charisma, authenticity, crowd interaction, every aspect you could think of, she does it perfectly. Just admirable.
Tuomas as a composer and Floor as a singer are a match made in heaven. Also the fact that Floor gathered skill and experience for 15 years before she joined Nightwish was very important for this combination to become this amazing.
And even though Nightwish with Floor as a singer gave countless brilliant performances and even though this entire Wacken 2013 show was as good as live music can possibly get,
this particular song, Ghost Love Score at Wacken 2013, is probably the most glorious and elevating and overwhelming moment she as a singer and this entire band will ever have given to the world. I will never get tired of listening to this. Never. I vividly remember how I saw this video for the first time. And how overwhelmed and captivated I was.
Forever grateful for being able to listen to such music.

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I`ll bleed forever
Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever
Into the blue memory
A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be
The child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Sitting on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love n` loss
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me
Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman`s noose
Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep
Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast
Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever

Anybody else here in 2023 still watching this video? I’ve been listening to this song on Spotify every week and watching this video AT LEAST once a month since it was posted. I am seriously so addicted to not only this song itself, but Floor’s version, specifically this performance. It’s phenomenal the way she captivates an audience of this size live and continues to captivate an audience of hundreds of thousands through a recording! Ugh! I can’t get enough.
