Topic: What the f**k is an Ocean Soul?

[Mooning Freddy]

... That Nightwish keep singing about? You know, like in "Without innocence the cross is only iron,
hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name... "

And while we are on the subject, I absolutely love Nightwish, they are one of my favorite bands, but what's with that wishing obsession the band had with Tarja on every second song? Ok, so you have wishing in the name of the band, it doesn't mean it has to be a motif in the lyrics of each song!

"Mandylion without a face, deathwish without a prayer" – End of All Hope

"Oh how I wish for soothing rain, all I wish is to dream again" - Nemo

"I wish for this night time to last for a life-time" – Sleeping Sun

"I wish I had an angel for one moment of love, I wish I had your angel tonight" - Wish I had an angel

"Warrior! Disciple! In me the Wishmaster" - Wishmaster 

"As I always wished to be - one with the waves, Ocean Soul" – Ocean Soul

And that's only in songs I know of...

I love Nightwish, but I was never able to make heads or tails out of their lyrics, haha.

I WISH I had heard of Nightwish before

Could the wishing thing just be a theme of an album?  I know I used to wonder why Pink Floyd always had lyrics about some Wall, and then I smacked myself in the face and realized they were all on the same album....The Wall.

it's a theme, often related to desire of the unattainable I belive. Can't believe some of you haven't heard of them. Next you'll be telling me you don't listen to Blind Guardian or Yngwie Malmsteen!

It's a repeated meme. Really. Not that hard to figure out. They found something they liked and referenced it. That said, I love Nightwish, both with Tarja and without. I do prefer with Tarja though.
