After Forever - Beautiful Emptiness Lyrics






[Child:]
You're the worst of all
with all your accusations and compunction
I can't suffer this duress from someone
so deprayed and selfish
You embody all that I've been through
Without you I am sure I will be loved

My existence conforms to your distress
Your ambition, the cause of mine
A disruption, I'm nothing, even less
Misfortunes never come singly, and I was there to stay

You don't allow me a single place,
nor any love into your lives
An unperceived, annoying presence you'd rather ignore
But in my life you know you'll leave a beautiful emptiness

Where you used to be
Impotent screams
will turn into the love of silence
My liberation, then silence,
will be perfect and pure
It's all in my dreams;
I'll remove you
and all our mutual disgust

In my dreams,
I solve the problem by removing it
My wish is to see you grovel
like you once forced me to!

There's no other way, here's my course of life
A path without the sickening trace of you
I need the beauty of a cleared, pure world
This eternal interruption of your rash life can save me!

You don't allow me a single place,
nor any love into your lives
An unperceived, annoying presence you'd rather ignore
But in my life you know you'll leave a beautiful emptiness

It's sad to feel you don't believe in love
It's sad that you're so cold,
and I'll be the same if you keep on poisoning my life
Drowning in self-sacrificing visions
When you're gone, then we will all be released

It's sad; my life has been like hell so far
It's sad that you're the cause
And I'll be cured in this beautiful, empty world
Floating, floating away with your perilous visions and hate
When you're gone, silence will fill up the emptiness
When you're gone, we all will be released

In my dreams I shall rinse my body and soul
My wish; the accomplishment lies here before me in my hands

I will be released from your accusing eyes
and torrents of verbal abuse
You'll know the causes are your own mistakes
while life flows out of you
and exempts me forever!

    So is this statistic right, 9 out of 37k viewers are retarded?

  3. l.... c....

    such a beautiful and sad album, sins of idealism and beautiful emptiness are my favorites

  4. S.... ....

    2:22 She notices that the floor fan is off and looks to the side.
    2:29 She looks to the side again to see if anyone in production has noticed this mistake
    2:40 She continues to singing while points her finger at the fan and look at the production: "Hey, people! Wake up! Turn on the fucking fan"
    3:41 Now the fan is on and and her hair is fluttering like advertisement of shampoo


    HAHAHAHA I really love this woman! Wonderful since early on stage ♥

    S.... ....

    Jajaj... muy bueno! 😉👍

    Her best performance

  9. h.... ....

    Great band and powerful singing by Floor Jansen

  10. M.... E....

    floor kicking asses then and now!!!!

  11. M.... ....

    It's sad to feel you don't believe in love
    It's sad that you're so cold,
    and I'll be the same
    if you keep on poisoning my life
    Drowning in self-sacrificing visions
    When you're gone, then we will all be released

    It's sad my life has been like hell so far
    It's sad that you're the cause
    And I'll be cured in this beautiful, empty world
    Floating, floating away with your perilous visions and hate
    When you're gone, silence will fill up the emptiness
    When you're gone, we all will be released

    These are some of the most beautiful and painful lyrics I have ever heard...they really hit home😢

  12. L.... M....

    The sound of the beginning is like the one that Nightwish uses in the last tour ... strange

  13. M.... B....

    She’s an unstoppable force of nature.

  14. B.... J....

    PERFECT PERFORMANCE

  15. H.... V....

    Fantastic singing by floor...

  16. m.... ....

    Barely 23 yrs old and you can bet your bottom dollar that Nightwish even wanted her then ;) Kudos to The Gathering 9 years earlier /,,/

    m.... ....

    @dburuma Indeed, Anneke influenced a whole generation of singers. But most people don't know about Orphanage, for instance, which was as popular as The Gathering back in the mid 90s Netherlands. In my opinion Orphanage is the blueprint for bands like After Forever and Within Temptation, although like we both said Anneke really influenced all women back then. And also Liv Kristine and Kari Reuslatten.

    m.... ....

    Vinícius Ferrenberg Don’t forget the first album of The Gathering!

    m.... ....

    I think that the third album of The Gathering ‘Mandylion’ , was the first album with proper ‘front female’ vocals in the metal genre.

    m.... ....

    @dburuma Indeed it was!

    m.... ....

    mediastarz They did

  17. C.... A....

    Floor Rainha Suprema ♡

    Não me empurra

  20. A.... M....

    Que voz sensacional. Que instrumental.

  21. C.... C....

    Holy crud this album was 13 years ago. Still one of the best symphonic metal albums of all time - it has the dark music like Epica's Requiem for the Indifferent without the political lyrics. I'd even be tempted to say the best if it weren't for the cheesy spoken word parts. It sticks together unlike a lot of albums and every song had something to offer. Also Floor is a much better live singer than most other SM female vocalists.

    C.... C....

    15 years now. Still one of my favorite AF albums!

    C.... C....

    @Charlie Parra 15 years since I discovered them through this album. Times flies!

    C.... C....

    15 yeaaars, discovering Floor early works now

  22. D.... G....

    Floor has a lot of Power in her vocals!!!!

  23. p.... b....

    hola metallwish , crees que puedes subir el video de emphasis de after forever , los que veo por youtube no tienen mucha calidad o al menos uno q se vea bien

    p.... b....

    Hola que tal... te refieres al video oficial verdad ? hace años que busco una copia con la que se pueda trabajar y sacar algo de calidad aceptable... hasta ahora los resultados no son buenos y lo peor es que ya no se por donde más buscar, figurita difícil resultó este video...

  24. E.... P....

    Oh my god, Luuk kicks some arses on bass!

  25. J.... K....

    Very good touch on the keys too! Love

  26. J.... K....

    SUCH A POWER IN HER VOICE.....OH!....SO BEAUTIFUL!

  27. J.... K....

    I love you ALL even After Forever!!!!

    Amigos seguidores del canal... lamento comunicarles que por un tiempo muy largo no voy a compartir videos en YouTube, debido a reiteradas denuncias por derechos de autor, el canal ha recibido 2 strikes y se encuentra al borde de que lo cierren, no quiero perder el canal, ya que he dedicado mucho tiempo en confeccionar listas de reproducción y mucho más tiempo en remasterizar de forma totalmente amateur, viejos videos (en la mayoría de los casos de baja calidad), con el solo objeto de promocionar a las bandas que sigo desde siempre, tratando de ofrecer material sobre ellas acorde con las normas de TV en HD que hay actualmente, lo siento pero es la única solución para no perder el canal. Saludos\m/
