Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture foster Average	#1 by foster meng at Jun 25, 1971 at 6:21 PM EST
	COME ON ITS A TRIBUTE TO Cthulhu mythos!

No Picture cinn Professional Badass	#2 by cinn mcrickson at Feb 28, 1973 at 3:49 AM EST
	I think the last lines are the fulfillment of the prophecy that they owl is saying. Considering how the Toumas feels about the Ocean, I almost get the feeling this song is about a flood being the final savior of the earth. Like man needs to be washed off of it and it needs to be given back to the creatures. Like almost all Nightwish songs, there are layers upon layers, so while one layer is speaking of a "love?" relationship, I believe that the true idea is the birth of one who will cleanse the earth.

No Picture Derek Average	#3 by Derek Mayfield at May 15, 1977 at 12:43 PM EST
	Not entirely sure about this one, but the Oceanborn in classic mythology is the Greek goddess Aphrodite, the most beautiful woman, who was born from the seas.

No Picture Micke Lead Player	#4 by Micke Nordin at Apr 12, 1981 at 9:11 PM EST
	Obviously, this is where the inspiration for the name of the CD came in. I also get the feeling that the cover picture is based on this song by the line "the lady in brightest white", but that's extremely taboo. I've thought of the song and come to the conclusion (very widely based) that the song is sort of describing the plans for domination between a Siren and an "evil" creature, such as a vampire, or maybe just a very evil person. Somehow "world domination" sounds like a cliched phrase, but that's about what I'd say they're discussing. not the brightest crayon in the box Not that you've received an in-depth interpretation of my view of this song, you are free to chuck blunt objects at my head...

No Picture KELSO Wanna Be	#5 by KELSO Is a COOL kid at Feb 28, 1982 at 10:17 AM EST
	it sounds to me like an innocent woman is in love with some sort of evil being. she says "i prayed for pleasure, wished for love, prayed for your-" and is cut off by the male voice saying "never pray for me". maybe its about a woman with stolkholm syndrome lol

No Picture Rosa Wanna Be	#6 by Rosa Beauchamp at Apr 27, 1983 at 5:33 PM EST
	It always gives me a sense of the antichrist sort of thing being born... Or something to do with sacrifice... ...anyways the the heck is this "Oceanborn" kid neways? They keep sticking that in their lyrics...

No Picture Chad Wanna Be	#7 by Chad Barri at Aug 18, 1989 at 10:06 AM EST
	Hmm... Well, not really religion or anti-religion, but more a creature-of-the-dark type thing. I can't wait to see an interpretation ;).

No Picture jga Average	#8 by jga qup at Mar 18, 2000 at 5:12 PM EST
	This is my favorite Nightwish song. I don't quite understand the lyrics yet, but I get the impression that it's about an anti-religious event. Yes, broad interpretation, I know.

No Picture isaac Average	#9 by isaac fritsch at Oct 4, 2000 at 10:51 PM EST
	To me, it sounds very theatrical - I can almost picture it as an opera onstage. There were quite a few references to the cover art - "a lady in the brightest white" and "a snowy owl above the haunted waters." The cover art hit the feel of this song right on the mark. There's sort of a Phantom of the Opera thing going on with a woman falling for some sort of demonic-type being and then realizing how terrible he is. I really don't get the last verse though, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the song, unless the demon and the woman both died and everyone else is rebuilding or something...maybe I've just seen too much theatre.

No Picture jake Professional	#10 by jake burns at Aug 27, 2005 at 5:01 AM EST
	I havent quiet interpeted this song yet but I dont think it has to do with religion at all. Gimme time and I shall decipher it

No Picture steven Lead Player	#11 by steven ratliff at Feb 15, 2006 at 4:56 AM EST
	The Oceanborn.... he born from the Ocean (the Oceanborn) is the one destined to be an Ocean Soul (how Tuomas describes himself)

No Picture david Average	#12 by david maynard at Jun 13, 2007 at 6:36 PM EST
	Sounds like a woman is conspiring with "the evil in the ocean" to bring about a great cataclysm. A new harbinger of destruction perhaps? They with both die, and become more, by combining a human soul with the ocean(however evil it may be) a new being will arise and... destroy the world? She doesn't seem to fully understand what his plans are until it's too late. "i dreamed for pleasure" then later "leave me be!" I was also considering that the lady may be a child, and doesn't understand because she is so young, or maybe she just fell in the water? "the spell to master this earth, carven on an infants tomb" and "this apathetic life may drown" and finally "From the cradle to the coffin, shall my wickedness be your passion" Drac
