Ever Dream

Tarja's 'Ever Dream' is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of longing, love, and the deep desire for connection. The lyrics convey a sense of yearning for a profound emotional bond, one that transcends the ordinary and touches the very soul. The repeated question, 'Ever felt away with me,' suggests a longing for a shared experience, a moment of unity that is both rare and deeply cherished. This sentiment is further emphasized by the line, 'Just once that all I need,' indicating that even a single moment of true connection can be profoundly fulfilling.

The song also delves into themes of healing and transformation. Phrases like 'Heal the scars and change the stars' and 'Turn loose the heaven within' suggest that this desired connection has the power to heal past wounds and bring about a sense of inner peace and transformation. The imagery of being 'castaway on a lonely day' and finding solace in another's presence highlights the idea that love and connection can provide comfort and relief from life's hardships.

Moreover, the song's recurring plea, 'Ever dream of me,' underscores the depth of the singer's longing to be remembered and cherished. The use of metaphors such as 'Your beauty cascaded it on me' and 'In this white night fantasy' adds a layer of ethereal beauty to the song, painting a picture of a dreamlike, almost otherworldly love. Tarja's powerful vocals and the song's evocative lyrics combine to create a deeply emotional and resonant piece that speaks to the universal human desire for love, connection, and understanding.
