Oh, dear Lord! This Dutch hard rock band is good at triggering the tears.
- "Memories" is probably the best known.Made me promise I'd try to find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way to give me a sign you're okay
Remind me again it's worth it all
So I can go home. - "Say My Name
" is about a relative with Alzheimer's. The lyrics combined with Sharon's vocals really does it...Please, say my name
Remember who I am
You will find me in the world of yesterday
You drift away again, too far from where I am
When you ask me who I am. - More significant ones are "All I Need" and "Our Farewell" (My child, see the sadness in your eyes...)
- "Somewhere," about searching for a lost loved one and not knowing where they are or even if they're still okay or alive."Wherever you are, I won't stop searching, Whatever it takes, Need to know..."
- "Forgiven" is even worse. The person being addressed in the song committed suicide.I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you? Why did fate deceive me?
Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence?- And the singer is regretting that they couldn't do anything to save them:Couldn't save you from the start
Love you so, it hurts my soul.
- And the singer is regretting that they couldn't do anything to save them:
- "Swan Song" and "Pale." The song sounds happiest when she is about to give in to death...
- The music video for "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 wife and daughter, and the wife in the end murders him to protect her daughter.
- "The Last Dance" is arguably an example of this.She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime
The angels were watching and death will be waiting
Until the time is right - "Supernova", despite a 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 Real Life events as it was written by Sharon after the loss of her father in April 2018.I'm waiting for your last goodbye, 'cause I'm not over it, not over it
I'm waiting for your last goodbye, the kiss of time
Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning, stars are falling down for God's applause
I'm waiting for the light of your supernova, your last goodbye - "Never-ending Story," a beautifully bittersweet song about the small, fleeting (but never meaningless) nature of life.We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey, no one's to stay
Where is it going, what is the way?
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful, sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.
