“Lies” – Anette Olzon, Shine (2014)

Songs called “Lies”, 12th in a series

Another artist I’d never heard of before I started looking for songs called “Lies”, Anette Olzon is, according to Wikipedia, a Swedish singer best known as the second lead vocalist of Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish.

Fun fact: My son (who likes to amass metadata on subjects interesting to him but obscure to others; no idea where he got that) pointed out the following chart to me some time ago. It’s from reddit user depo_, and shows that Scandinavia leads the world in metal bands per capita:

Lyrics

Thousand lights passing by
Stories floating around
Silence is long gone by now
All the wishes we had
Dreams that we shared

I remember the time
Closing down open doors
Making fences grow strong
Burning the plants that had grown

Deep inside from the time when love was our life
Now it’s goodbye

Chorus:
All of the LIES just passing us by
I’m holding to keep it inside
Why no wrong can’t be right
All the wonders are gone
No more flowers will fall tonight
All of the LIES just passing us by

Verse:
Threads of life going by
Precious moments run by
Tossing and turning our minds
All the magic is gone
No more feelings of hope

Will we ever forgive
Will the wounds start to heal
I’m tired of pushing the day
Putting down all behind- moving away

Chorus;
All of the LIES just passing us by
I’m holding to keep it in sight
Why no wrong can’t be right
All the wonders are gone
No more flowers will fall tonight
All that is gone just passing us by

LIES just passing us by
I’m holding to keep it in sight
Why no wrong can’t be right
All the wonders are gone
No more flowers will fall tonight
All that is gone just passing us by
