Tallulah
Sonata Arctica Lyrics

Remember when we used to look how sun set far away,
Reflecting on a past time when we would watch the sunset together in a distance.

And how you said "this is never over",
In that moment, you promised that our relationship will last forever.

I believed your every word and I guess you did too,
We both had faith in our love and the promise of it lasting forever.

But now you're saying "hey, let's think this over".
However, now you are proposing that we rethink the future of our relationship.

You take my hand and pull me next to you, so close to you,
You pull me close to you, as if you have something important to say.

I have a feeling you don't have the words,
But it seems that you are struggling to express yourself.

I found one for you, kiss your cheek, say bye, and walk away
I kiss you goodbye and walk away because I understand that we have reached our end.

Don't look back cause I am crying.
I cry as I leave, and I don't want you to see me cry.

I remember little things, you hardly ever do,
I remember the small details in our relationship that you seem to have overlooked.

Tell me why, I don't know why it's over,
I don't understand why our relationship has come to an end.

I remember shooting stars, the walk we took that night,
I cherish the moments we spent together, such as when we went for a walk and saw shooting stars.

I hope your wish came true, mine betrayed me.
I hope your happiness in life is fulfilled, but my own dreams have been shattered.

You let my hand go and you fake a smile for me,
As you let go of my hand, you put on a false smile to try to hide your own emotions.

I have a feeling you don't know what to do,
However, it seems like you are lost and unsure of what to do next.

I look deep in your eyes, hesitate a while,
I search for answers in your eyes, but there is a moment of hesitation.

Why are you crying.
I ask you why you are crying, trying to figure out your emotions.

Tallulah,
Tallulah is used as a name throughout the song and could be a metaphorical or literal reference to a person.

It's easier to live alone than fear the time it's over,
It's easier to live alone than to suffer through the pain of losing someone you love.

Whoa, Tallulah,
A repeated phrase in the song, emphasizes the importance of Tallulah or the emotions behind their relationship.

Find the words and talk to me, oh,
I urge you to find the words to express yourself and communicate with me.

This could be heaven.
The possibility of reconnecting and salvaging our relationship could bring us to a state of joy and happiness.

I see you walking hand in hand with long-haired drummer of the band,
I observe you walking alongside someone else, specifically a long-haired drummer.

In love with her or so it seems, he's dancing with my beauty queen,
It appears that you have fallen in love with this person and are dancing with someone who I once considered as mine.

Don't even dare to say you hi, still swallowing the goodbye,
I don't want you to even acknowledge my presence because I'm still struggling to come to terms with our separation.

But I know the feelings still alive, still alive.
Despite the end of our relationship, we both still have feelings for each other.

I lost my patience once, so do you punish me now,
I may have acted impulsively in the past, so are you using this as a form of punishment?

I'll always love you, no matter what you do,
Regardless of what happens, I will always have love for you in my heart.

I'll win you back for me if you give me a chance,
If you're willing to give our relationship another chance, I am determined to win you back.

But there is one thing you must understand.
However, it's important that you understand one thing before we can move forward.

Tallulah,
Once again, Tallulah is used as a name throughout the song and could be a metaphorical or literal reference to a person.

It's easier to live alone than fear the time it's over, over,
Reemphasizing the idea that it's easier to be alone than to endure the pain of separation.

Tallulah,
Still mentioning the importance of Tallulah and their relationship.

Find the words and talk to me, oh,
Encouraging open communication to work through their issues and reconnect.

Tallulah,
A final mention of Tallulah, concluding the song with the unresolved emotions in their relationship.
