Nightwish - Noise Lyrics






Crave the machine
Revere the screen
Zoom in for flak and misery
Bleed some pixels

Shoot yourself
Pose for the dead
Have a near-life experience
In a hot air matrix

Now you're a star
Vain avatar
Feeding the beast
In your loud Egoland

You have become
Tool of a tool
Digital ghouls
Telling you to
Shut up and dance!

Color a yarn and the crowds will gather

Noise
From a sunless world
Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
At a slave of brave new world
Noise
To decoy the human voice
Brain insomniac, paranoiac
Endless noise

Please love me
See how I bleed
Please endure
I have such empathy in me

Hum, noise, hum
Beautifully numb
Tapping the quiet air
To have a meaning

By a carrion
Sad hologram
Lost in the maze
The real and human feel

Sunset is free
From this deity
The Earth has a real voice
Go out and get in

I will follow

Color a yarn and the crowds will gather

Noise
From a sunless world
Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
At a slave of brave new world
Noise
To decoy the human voice
Brain insomniac, paranoiac
Endless noise

Feast your eyes on the black mirror
Feed the beast, join the gathering
Tell a tale
Feast of fears is drawing nearer

Beyond the human horizon
Something terrifying sleeps

Noise
From a sunless world
Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
At a slave of brave new world
Noise
To decoy the human voice
Brain insomniac, paranoiac
Endless noise

    Interesting to see Artists from all genres being critical of people being their phones a lot, especially at concerts, that's all you see now days. We're all guilty of it 😭

  17. A.... N....

    The revindication after EFMB. Love it.

  18. T.... ....

    Is that little Freya Jansen in the video?

  19. S.... S....

    Nothing to say more. Everything is told. Everything suggested but told, without understanding lyrics for the moment (then I will read), the song is perfect. And I love the end ;)

    #AskNightwish : Do they know they are spreading love and peace all over the world with their music ? Best regards from France.

    What yet to become fakers. Yaaaaaeeeeehhhhhhh.

  33. T.... ....

    Tuomus almost always obscures the meanings of his songs. However, this is one of his very few works where he makes the theme is very apparent. It’s incredibly fascinating to see Nightwish go this route.

  34. t.... h....

    👏👏👏 fuck yes 🤘🤘

  35. J.... C....

    🤘😍🤘

  36. E.... R....

    One word: Masterpiece

  38. V.... ....

    The song os great, the vídeo is criticizes só much thing, each song i become more in love with this band.
    But... Where is emppu?

    V.... ....

    Emppu is the monk who is attacked....

  39. K.... S....

    So deep meaning

    Fans from Indonesia 🇮🇩

  40. S.... C....

    Tuomas shitting on Greta Thuborg is priceless

    S.... C....

    Don't think u watched it properly if you think that lol.

  41. A.... D....

    I’ll stand with your words Emppu....... and I’ll stand in front of you as well. Let the digitally weak all fall........I’ll be there to piss on them all too........COME....!!!!!!

  42. G.... A....

    Oh Holy Nightwish i love the video and the lyric, it's so wonderfull

  43. M.... D....

    So, he's basically saying society glamorizes everything they can, are ruled by their obsession with social media, and because of that they need to record all of it for the sake of publicity.


    The people in black robes and hoods are basically the cult of social media.

    Well, he's not wrong. Also, great song.

  44. L.... L....

    This is Halloween baby.

  45. K.... C....

    Wild, twisted beauty. Floor at 2:58, the harmony at 2;05, the violins and the electric guitar - this is the definition of "symphonic metal." I will see them in person someday. Truly, I could die happily listening to this. ...Though it took quite a few fans to finally (barely) recognize Emppu without his full long hair.

  46. c.... ....

    great song and video but who owns that ass. good lord

  47. M.... G....

    awesome band always

  48. L.... L....

    The anti-facegram anthem, thank you Nightwish!

    Excelent criticism of excessive use of social media.

  49. S.... ....

    Speaking of ''Noise to decoy the human voice'' : seeing Justin Bieber and The Pussycat Dolls on music trending instead of this makes my soul sick...

  50. K.... P....

    So is this Storytime part 2?

  51. l.... 8....

    turns out we do live in a society, huh?

  52. M.... ....

    A 'sequel' in type to The Sound of 'Silence' perhaps? That was my first hot take while watching it.

  53. S.... ....

    Game of thrones song resemblance, someone else hear that?

  54. G.... S....

    Can’t wait to get this album! Song is great!

  55. S.... D....

    The irony is so strong

  56. a.... f....

    Nossa não curti, e para que colocar uma mina de bunda de fora? O Nightwish não precisa apelar

  57. g.... ....

    I love this metal + technology. The gothic vibe and poetry contrasts with the usually simple/technical dictionary used in social media.

  58. J.... J....

    Anyone know the models name?

  59. A.... ....

    This is like Black Mirror, i like it.

  60. g.... ....

    0:05 Death Stranding? Kojima? 😮
    2:48 P.T.? KOJIMA??!! 😲

  61. Z.... L....

    #AskNightwish Do you plan to do more songs based on sci fi stories? (and was 4:01 inspired by "The Sheep Look Up"?)

  62. D.... A....

    Dayum she thicc

  63. R.... ....

    the White House in the background, I see what you did...

  64. K.... ....

    On the Nightwish very low. :-\ I was waiting to unpack it and nothing. Old songs are best of

  65. R.... P....

    This song chilling because of its message which is truth and the video really depicts that well

  66. B.... B....

    Deep. Beautiful. Holopainen. Nightwish.

  67. �.... ....

    雰囲気からして最高!

  68. x.... ....

    The lights as phone props was actually a really good idea. A bit too thick, but really not a problem.

  69. �.... ....

    WE ARE LIVING ON NIGHTWISH'S AGE

  70. E.... ....

    Nightwish, Always fantastic. Never dissapoints. They only get better. This song. Wow. I ordered the CD already! The message is clear. We all see it around us. Lots of people let that screen rule over teir life. And the media..... its sad.

  71. M.... K....

    Semblant
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIedr_9_9hA

  72. T.... o....

    I don't suppose there's some Platonic influence? The video has a theme of the lesser reality (like social media) and the greater reality (or the natural world). This reminds me of the Analogy of the Cave, where a slave was dragged from the cave in which they had been lied to with shadows all their life and gradually adjusted to the greater world. Further more, when Kai's phone screen turned red it was like the blue light filter had been turned on (which makes your phone blind you less!) As soon as he did the other slaves/prisoners assaulted him, like how the slaves did to the philosopher slave when they returned, simply becsuse they knew of something better that disagreed with the others. #AskNightwish

    Obviously the video is to be taken metaphorically but I love it to pieces.

  73. T.... M....

    Fantastic!!!

  74. g.... ....

    "You just got canceled!"

  77. T.... T....

    Thanks. I will be listening to this for a few following days...

  78. D.... ....

    Simply brilliant.Kudos to Tuomas for absolutely knocking it out of the park with the new hardware. They may indeed be the one..

  79. R.... Y....

    Next Level Awesome!

  80. T.... P....

    Phone bad

  81. s.... E....

    I liked the bit at 3.08 when it suddenly became the grand designs theme.

  82. A.... C....

    Hola Nightwish. Me quedo con la música, excelente, y con la cerveza de Tuomas.

  83. B.... F....

    I’m just a fan and all, but I really do miss Taria... Nightwish just sounds like every other gothic metal band with a female singer these days.

    B.... F....

    You got it bit reversed. Every other gothic band with female singer tries to sound like Nightwish. Plus: It's been 15 years(!!) since Tarja was in band. Both parties have moved on long time ago and are doing fine. Life is too short to be stuck in the past.

    B.... F....

    jeppe jeppinen I love Nightwish and acknowledge that they were very influential to a plethora of copy cat bands. My personal opinion is that I enjoy the Tarja period more and wish that it hadn’t ended the way that it did. Life is too short to care that much about opinions that differ from yours. Our opinions don’t really mean all that much at the end of the day.

    B.... F....

    @Big Face TV What he says is right though. Move on and enjoy new sounds and experiences. Good luck.

    B.... F....

    Mr David I’ve moved on. Definitely enjoying new sounds and experiences. Still like to check in on what Nightwish is doing these days. I still love the guys in the band. I’d like to enjoy the new stuff more than I do, but I don’t. I’m fine accepting that it’s just not for me. Once again just an opinion; you’re entitled to yours as I’m entitled to mine. No one is right or wrong. Just opinions.

  84. J.... C....

    Fans: This sounds nothing like Nightwish! What are they doing?!?

    Also Fans: This sounds like every other Nightwish song! They’ve run out of ideas!

    Me: “Nooooooise!”

    J.... C....

    No 'fan' who listened to all of their albums would say this is doesn't sound similair in ways to other songs of theirs.

    J.... C....

    Mr David Fair point. I was simply pointing out the irony of seeing two conflicting complaints in the comments. And I would agree to an extent. Tuomas is getting a little too comfortable with certain riffs. But at the same time, with this single, I feel like everything is more focused than it was during EFMB era. There’s no meandering filler. Everything feels done very much on purpose. And I am excited to hear what this album will have to offer if this is the ‘safest’ track. I have a feeling we’re in for quite the ride!

  85. L.... F....

    Que caraio de música boa! A Floor arrebenta, já imagino ela dando esses gritos fodas ao vivo...

  86. M.... E....

    YouTube: "How many 'Yes' jokes will be posted in this comment section?"
    Nightwish Fans: "Yes!"

    M.... E....

    Isn't this the comment section of Youtube in general?

    M.... E....

    @Mr David Yes!

  87. T.... H....

    Marco’s pill popping face >:D

  88. O.... C....

    Perfecting the lack of identity, I see. Back to Oceanborn, I be.

  89. M.... B....

    Ok, i see people complaining that this is not Nightwish? What do you want? You want them to stay the same forever, making tracks and albums that sound like the previous records? Come on man, people grow up and evolve. They are not kids anymore. We all grow up and evolve one day it happens to us all. I think this video is pretty damn good and so is the song. The fact that this band is still going strong after all this time is a prize of its own. Not many rock and metal bands are making it these days. Only like the Korn's, Slipknots, and a few others and Nightwish. They are still doing their thing man and they are still one of the most talented bands in the world today with a unique style of their own. Dont even mention Tarja, that shit was like 20 years ago now..move on. Im stoked to hear the rest of this album...peace and love!

  90. A.... S....

    Since when does Nightwish have to show bare ass to draw people's attention? Maybe you guys wanted to get socially involved (and it is praiseworthy in itself) but those issues have been criticised so many times before that they're beyond boring. I'm a huge fan of yours but that song won't get to the top of my list.

    A.... S....

    Your feminist ways are getting in the way of the message. But, you dislike a song because the music video shows a bit of cheek?

  91. P.... H....

    As expected the Band are as good as ever they were. The addition of Floor has transformed them. Fast Forward to the Release Date if this is any to go by. Hope to see them soon, once again. Once I saw them live with Ms.Jansen I was sold even more than the very first time I saw them. This truly is a Fabulous "NOISE"

  92. M.... B....

    Awesome stuff man. This video reminds me of the 90's early 2000's when rock and metal bands were still doing videos like this. You just dont see vids like this done this way too much anymore. Theatrical, dramatic, and to the point. Strong message, purpose, with meaning. Also the song is good too. Mixes well with the video. And that note Floor hits at the end though...

  93. O.... R....

    Alrighty then

  94. �.... �....

    Brutal music...!!!! FLOOR the best...!!!

  95. F.... B....

    que rica las rubias :) <3 <3 <3 <3

  96. R.... K....

    What is the symbol at the end? Sumerian ? Cuneiform? #AskNightwish

  97. B.... W....

    Tuomas: "Oh rubber ducky, you're the one! You make oil-baths so much fun!"

  98. V.... ....

    Raise your hand if you're old enough to have experienced life without internet and mobile phones. 1966 here!

    V.... ....

    1998 here but grew up in very rural area of Ukraine xD no internet, no mobile phone, barely any TV. We spent our childhood exploring on our bikes, camping out at weekends, jumping into quarries to swim on summer days, board games and cosy winter nights round the fire, we had barely money but friends and family and all we ever needed was each other :) I wouldn't trade my childhood for the world.

    V.... ....

    1954.......

  99. N.... B....

    Do you have any questions to Nightwish regarding this video? Comment with #AskNightwish

    N.... B....

    #AskNightwish why is the level of the vocals so low? Completely hidden behind the instrumentals.

    N.... B....

    @Jeremy Tassin I was wondering who the little girl was as well!

    N.... B....

    I hope there is behind the scenes!

    N.... B....

    #AskNightwish Whose idea was to include the Mona Lisa?

    N.... B....

    No a question but I love Tuomas’s costume in this video #AskNightwish
