Song Meaning of “Nemo – Live At Teatro El Círculo, Rosario, Argentina/2012” by Tarja
This is a beautiful song by Tarja that speaks about both the pain and beauty of unrequited love. The narrator longs for someone they cannot have and is stuck in limbo, not sure of what to do.
The song starts off with a dreamy imagery and longing lyrics – “Take my sorrow, take my dream away, I close my eyes, I still feel the pain”. These lyrics encapsulate the feelings of isolation and despair of not having the person they love – a powerful reminder that these moments of longing can’t always be escaped.
The chorus speaks of the pain the narrator feels, and what they would do to escape this agony – “If I could find a way, I’d take you away, escape from this sorrow that tortures my soul”. The chorus also speaks of the desire to be with the person they love – “Come on along, be my light in the dark, come to me, together we’ll fly”.
The song ends with a message of hope – and a reminder that although love can be difficult, it can also bring wonderful moments. The narrator states that they are ready to experience the joys of love, that they can be “someone else, I’m not so scared, I am ready now for my life to change.”
Although the narrator is still in limbo, they have the courage to keep going, and to hope for a brighter future. As the song ends, they’ve taken the first steps out of the darkness and into the light.
