    Full Lyrics:
    Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
    In tongues from the time before man
    Listen to a daffodil tell her tale
    Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn
    The meadows of heaven await harvest
    The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
    The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
    Finally your number came up, free fall awaits the brave
    Come
    Taste the wine, race the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time
    Come
    Surf the clouds, race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone
    Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
    The answer to the riddle before your eyes
    Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
    Returning swans and sedulous mice
    Writings on the garden book, in the minute of a lover's look
    Building a sandcastle close to the shore
    A house of cards from a worn out deck
    A home from the fellowship, poise and calm
    Write a lyric for a song only you can understand
    Come
    Taste the wine, race the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time
    Come
    Surf the clouds, race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone
    Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
    Riding hard every shooting star
    Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox
    Come, drink deep, let the dam of mind seep
    Travel with great Élan, dance a jig at the funeral
    Come
    Taste the wine, race the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time
    Come
    Surf the clouds, race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone
    Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
    Come

      @Yagami Now. I didn't, that was youtube's doing. I don't make any money from this
      video at all. It's a song I like and it's nice to have videos with
      lyrics, especially for people who like to sing along and want to check
      on the words/tone while they're learning the song in real time (this is
      something I do sometimes and I'm sure I'm not alone).
      So yeah, not stealing.
      I do have an info box which suggests another one of my videos in this
      video which appears for a few seconds. In a way, I can see how that may
      be morally questionable, so now that you've pointed it out I'll remove
      it.

  • @VictoriaTheBluehaired

    Many give their interpretations of the song, so I think I will share my small analysis too. I think this song is a call to do and create if you want and push forward no matter what.
    Élan - the word came from French and means a combination of style, enthusiasm and energetic confidence.
    Verse 1
    "Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk" - It's time to wake up and listen to the "spring". It can be a literal call to look into the nature but metaphorically spring can mean a start of something that will bloom later.
    "In tongues from the time before man" - The nature has its own unique tongue that cannot be characterized by human standards.
    "Listen to a daffodil tell her tale" - Throughout the song there are lot of references to the nature, which can be treated metaphorically or literally in a way of finding inspiration in the nature.
    "Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn" - Welcome other ideas, remember to search for your own answers and find something that was not discovered before you. (Or just enjoy your time with other people and appreciate the nature in search of the inspiration).
    "The meadows of heaven await harvest
    The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
    The elsewhere creatures yet unseen" - all three lines basically tell that there is a lot left to explore, create and try.
    "Finally your number came up, freefall awaits the brave" - it's your time now, will you make an attempt to step into the light or continue leaving in a fear of fail without even trying?
    Chorus
    "Come, taste the wine
    Come, surf the clouds" - Do it, get caught by the inspiration and enjoyment of creating.
    "Race the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time" - leave the blind people that drag you into the routine and monotonous work, telling you that you won't succeed. They just waste your time and guide you into the "darkness", creating nothing themselves.
    "Race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone" - The "darkness" grows from the things that you didn't even try.
    "Meet me where the cliff greets the sea" - Land and sea are different environments and that line can mean a meeting of two creators in different fields.
    Verse 2
    "The answer to the riddle before your eyes" - during the process of creation many people face the problems that they find hard to solve.
    "Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
    Returning swans and sedulous mice
    Writings on the gardens book, in the minute of a lover's look" - These lines can be interpreted both as trying to find inspiration to solve the riddle in different sources
    and as finding the solution in simple things (the greatest ideas are the simplest).
    "Building a sandcastle close to the shore
    A house of cards from a worn-out deck
    A home from the fellowship, poise and calm
    Write a lyric for the song only you can understand" - while creating something for others, find time for something you personally appreciate\while creating something from already existing concepts, don't forget to develop your own ideas.
    Verse 3
    "Riding hard every shooting star" - get the maximum of every opportunity you take.
    "Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox" - start to live, open your mind, don't take seriously the conservators who don't want to develop further.
    "Come, drink deep, let the dam of mind seep" - do it, dive deep into the process, break the borders of your mind.
    "Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral, come!" - be enthusiastic about every opportunity, break the groundless stereotypes created by humanity, do it!
    "Come!" - Just do it!

  • @nicodirei
    @nicodirei 6 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    I believe there's a couple of mistakes in the lyrics, and here's my explanation :
    "Raise the blind, he will guide you from the light" might (imo) refer to Homer, the blind Greek poet that wrote the Illiad and the Odyssey. Raise him (from the dead) and he will guide you from the light "writing ODES from the end of time".
    "Race the dark": Run away from the dark, defeat it. "It feeds from the WRONGS undone". No need to correct it: it means it becomes stronger from mistakes that were left without mending or atonement.
    I might be wrong, of course, but that's how I see and hear it. Good video nonetheless. Cheers.

    Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
    In tongues from the time before man
    Listen to a daffodil tell her tale
    Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn
    The meadows of heaven await harvest
    The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
    The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
    Finally your number came up, freefall awaits the brave
    Come, taste the wine
    Raise the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time
    Come, surf the clouds
    Race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone
    Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
    The answer to the riddle before your eyes
    Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
    Returning swans and sedulous mice
    Writing's on the gardens book, in the minute of a lover's look
    Building a sandcastle close to the shore
    A house of cards from a worn-out deck
    A home from the fellowship, poise and calm
    Write a lyric for the song only you can understand
    Come, taste the wine
    Raise the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time
    Come, surf the clouds
    Race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone
    Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
    Riding hard every shooting star
    Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox
    Come, drink deep let the dam of mind seep
    Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral, come!
    Taste the wine
    Raise the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time
    Ooh, come, surf the clouds
    Race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone
    Meet me where the cliff greets the sea, come!

    since when did the lyrics changed????????
    here are the "old and original lyrics"
    btw F for the hearing xD
    Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
    In tongues from the time before man
    Listen to a daffodil tell her tale
    Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn
    The meadows of heaven await harvest
    The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
    The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
    Finally your number came up, free fall awaits the brave
    Come
    Taste the wine
    Race the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time
    Come
    Surf the clouds
    Race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone
    Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
    The answer to the riddle before your eyes
    Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
    Returning swans and sedulous mice
    Writings on the gardens book, in the minute of a lover's look
    Building a sandcastle close to the shore
    A house of cards from a worn out deck
    A home from the fellowship, poise and calm
    Write a lyric for the song only you can understand
    Come
    Taste the wine
    Race the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time
    Come
    Surf the clouds
    Race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone
    Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
    Riding hard every shooting star
    Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox
    Come, drink deep let the dam of mind seep
    Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral
    Come
    Taste the wine
    Race the blind
    They will guide you from the light
    Writing noughts till the end of time
    Come
    Surf the clouds
    Race the dark
    It feeds from the runs undone
    Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
    Come!

      She is a machine in that sense. Although she was friends with the band before she wasn't very familiar with the lyrics of the old songs and new nothing of post-Tarja songs when she was called to fill in for Anette at such short notice. There's the whole mini documentary ''Please learn the set-list in 24 hours'' about it. There may have been some but I don't remember hearing any mistakes in those concerts. She sang with such confidence and passion it sounded like she had been singing those songs all her life

    For any of you wondering about what this song actually means, here it is:
    It's about travelling back in time, to a place where humans weren't a thing. And taking ones partner and going cliff jumping. That's all it's about.
    Now... tell me I'm wrong debils!
