History TearJerker / WithinTemptation

* The music video for "[[https://youtu.be/IfLoCG1MLqI Frozen]]". It ''definitely '''will''''' hit home for someone who had suffered {{domestic abuse}} in their lives. The father in the video is an alcoholic who often abuses both his [[WouldHitAGirl wife]] and [[WouldHurtAChild daughter]], and the wife in the end murders him to protect her daughter.

''No one remembers how it began.''

Oh, dear Lord! [[Music/WithinTemptation This Dutch hard rock band]] [[TearJerker is good at triggering the tears.]]

-->''Couldn't save you from the start''\\

''I’m waiting for the light of your supernova, your last goodbye''

-->''Made me promise I'd try to find my way back in this life''
-->''I hope there is a way to give me a sign you're okay''
-->''Remind me again it's worth it all''
-->''So I can go home.''

-->''Please, say my name''
-->''Remember who I am''
-->''You will find me in the world of yesterday''
-->''You drift away again, too far from where I am''
-->''When you ask me who I am.''

-->''I've been so lost since you've gone''
-->''Why not me before you? Why did fate deceive me?''
-->''Everything turned out so wrong''
-->''Why did you leave me in silence?''

-->''Couldn't save you from the start''
-->''Love you so, it hurts my soul.''

-->''She danced with you last night so you will remember''
-->''All you have shared, a lifetime''
-->''The angels were watching and death will be waiting''
-->''Until the time is right''

-->''I'm waiting for your last goodbye, 'cause I'm not over it, not over it''
-->''I'm waiting for your last goodbye, the kiss of time''
-->''Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning, stars are falling down for God's applause''
-->''I’m waiting for the light of your supernova, your last goodbye''

* "Supernova", despite a [[LyricalDissonance poppier tone]] compared to the rest of ''Resist'', is about someone searching for a sign that a deceased loved one will be okay. Unfortunately, and in contrast to some of the other example, inspired by RealLife events as it was written by Sharon after the loss of her father in April 2018.

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TlNstxpsUw Say My Name]]" is about a relative with Alzheimer's. The lyrics combined with Sharon's vocals really does it...
