Line #25 TearJerker/WithinTemptation


1	Oh, dear Lord! [[Music/WithinTemptation This Dutch hard rock band]] is good at [[TearJerker triggering the tears]].
2	----
3
4	* "Memories" is probably the best known.
5	-->''Made me promise I'd try to find my way back in this life''\
6	''I hope there is a way to give me a sign you're okay''\
7	''Remind me again it's worth it all''\
8	''So I can go home.''
9	* "[[https://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...
10	-->''Please, say my name''\
11	''Remember who I am''\
12	''You will find me in the world of yesterday''\
13	''You drift away again, too far from where I am''\
14	''When you ask me who I am.''
15	* More significant ones are "All I Need" and "Our Farewell" (''My child, see the sadness in your eyes...'')
16	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6QE4EJrIFc Somewhere]]," about searching for a lost loved one and not knowing where they are or even if they're still okay or alive.
17	-->"Wherever you are, I won't stop searching, Whatever it takes, Need to know..."
18	* "Forgiven" is even worse. The person being addressed in the song committed suicide.
19	-->''I've been so lost since you've gone''\
20	''Why not me before you? Why did fate deceive me?''\
21	''Everything turned out so wrong''\
22	''Why did you leave me in silence?''
23	** And the singer is regretting that they couldn't do anything to save them:
24	--->''Couldn't save you from the start''\
25	''Love you so, it hurts my soul.''
26	* "Swan Song" and "Pale." The song sounds happiest when she is about to give in to death...
27	* 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.
28	%%* "What Have You Done," to a degree.
29	%%* More recently, "Lost," "Stairway to the Skies," "Edge of the World," and "Whole World is Watching."
30	* "The Last Dance" is arguably an example of this.
31	-->''She danced with you last night so you will remember''\
32	''All you have shared, a lifetime''\
33	''The angels were watching and death will be waiting''\
34	''Until the time is right''
35	* "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 examples, inspired by RealLife events as it was written by Sharon after the loss of her father in April 2018.
36	-->''I'm waiting for your last goodbye, 'cause I'm not over it, not over it''\
37	''I'm waiting for your last goodbye, the kiss of time''\
38	''Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning, stars are falling down for God's applause''\
39	''I'm waiting for the light of your supernova, your last goodbye''
40	* "Never-ending Story," a beautifully bittersweet song about the small, fleeting ([[TheAntiNihilist but never meaningless]]) nature of life.
41	-->''We're part of a story, part of a tale''\
42	''We're all on this journey, no one's to stay''\
43	''Where is it going, what is the way?''\
44	''We're part of a story, part of a tale''\
45	''Sometimes beautiful, sometimes insane''\
46	''No one remembers how it began.''
