LYRICS ENERGIZE ME: Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart Energize me, fire up this flame that's burning between us
It's not a fantasy, another mystery It's just what I can feel, it' something I can see It's like a memory, an inner melody It's just what we all know, and we all hear
I was blind, I was closed down Could not feel or set it free
Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart Energize me, fire up this flame that's burning between us
It lies in everyone this whirling energy It's all around us too, electrifying you So dare to set it free, this virtue is the key To something we all know and we all use
I can feel it's inside me Open up enlighten me!
Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart Energize me, fire up this flame that's burning between us Energize me with a simple smile, open up your mind Energize me, activate the light that's given and taken
Can you believe in the power that's burning between us? Would you believe if you open up your mind, open up your heart
Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart Energize me, fire up this flame that's burning between us Energize me with a simple smile, open up your mind Energize me, fire up this fire that's burning forever

Marko, will you be my Phantom? For the first time since 2018, it was an absolute pleasure and blast to sing with you, vanha ystävä! After all these years, we reunited on stage like it was yesterday. Kuopio, how was it? :)
Do you remember this performance? Where were you when you watched it? And how did the pandemic and the coronavirus affect you? Please share your story.
This summer I'm getting back on stage and will perform at 5 festivals: 11 July – Rockwave, Athens, Greece 12 July – Masters of Rock, Czech Republic 13 July – Midalidare Rock, Bulgaria 26 July – Kuopiorock, Finland 2 August – Wacken Open Air, Germany
“Human. :II: Nature.” was released on this day, 5 years ago. A pandemic ago. The album came but our world tour was postponed! But time is elusive and it feels like last week we recorded the album, like yesterday we played those postponed shows live. I miss the live shows with Nightwish, but waiting makes it even more special! Which song should we play, in this elusive time in the future, that we haven't played yet?
Going on tour while pregnant with my second daughter Lucy was quite an adventure! And now, I'm looking forward to my theater tour in 2025, where I'll be sharing some very personal stories about my experiences with cancer, pregnancy, and balancing it all with my music career.
Your support means the world to me. Whether you've been with me since After Forever, joined along the way with Nightwish, or just discovered my solo work, I'm so grateful to have you all on this journey with me.
I hope this version of "Fire" touches your heart. Let me know what you think in the comments!

I'll take you through: How we wrote 'Yesterwynde' during lockdown Our unique album listening sessions during festival tours Tuomas's creative approach and how he shared his vision with us The unexpected positivity in the album's themes My battle with breast cancer and pregnancy coinciding with the album's creation Our decision to take a break from live shows
An extended version of this video is available on FloorWorld!
'Yesterwynde' is out now, and I can't wait for you to hear it! This album is our celebration of human progress and resilience. I hope it brings you as much joy as it brought us while creating it.

Performing at the Royal Park concert series, I found myself in the heart of Paleis Soestdijk, where Dutch royalty once roamed. Imagine preparing for a show in Queen Juliana’s former living room—it’s like stepping back in time. The gardens, the grandeur, and the stories these walls could tell. Despite the weather's mood swings, the energy from the audience and the beauty of this place made it truly special. It was an unforgettable experience, blending the past with the present in the most enchanting way. Can't wait to do it all again!
You can find an extended video on FloorWorld! Just for members!
This past year has been nothing short of extraordinary. From welcoming our beautiful baby girl Lucy to releasing my debut solo album "Paragon," and wrapping up Nightwish's world tour – it's been an incredible journey. Amid these amazing moments, I also faced a major challenge: overcoming cancer.

Riddles: 1. What's so fragile that saying its name breaks it? 2. A man who was outside in the rain without an umbrella or hat didn't get a single hair on his head wet, why? 3. The more I lie the more people trust me, what am I? 4. Voiceless cries, wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouthless mutters. 5. What has rivers with no water, forests with no trees and cities with no buildings? 6. What has 88 keys but can't open any doors? 7. What do 10 + 10 and 11 + 11 have in common?

LYRICS EQUALLY DESTRUCTIVE: Ground is shaking Waves are breaking The wind has lost control The air is shifting While its lifting force fools gravity A huge eruption Vast explosions As it bursts the earth water's pounding Waves are sounding deadly and extreme
But we are equally destructive
Equally destructive as we are Don't you think we've also gone too far? We are just a part of this machine and its endless stream
Alarming silence Predicts the violence that is yet to come We are senseless Proud while blindness is catching up with us We must measure While the pressure of nature's force expands We feel minor Punished and meager Betrayed by all our gods
We are a part of it We are equally destructive
Equally destructive as we are Don't you think we've also gone too far? We are just a part of this machine and its endless streamAfter Forever - Discord (MUSIC VIDEO)Floor Jansen2024-01-02 | Official After Forever music video for Discord from 2007. After Forever featured Floor Jansen on vocals.
LYRICS DISCORD: You need to get out of my sight A lonely heart can beat You're too dangerous A lonely heart can bleed I cannot stand it to be enclosed but isolated A lonely heart can be enclosed but isolated You're too much A lonely heart is weak Too dependant A broken heart will seek You take the life out of me, no heart is broken forever Its broken promises, but my faith is broken forever
Can't you believe that this power we feel can be for real? The smile that was given light now seems to freeze, but why?
A lonely heart will break Pressure will make me forsake you A lonely heart won't forsake me As if we're both the same, wounded and beaten but still not defeated A lonely heart can be wounded and beaten but still not defeated 'Cause I won't let you in! So if it's all for real Your weakness will be my strength Your heart should be melting You might be lonely but I am not beloved and bounded forever Because we're all the same, beloved and bounded forever
Can't you believe that this power we feel can be for real? The smile that was given light now seems to freeze, but why? Won't you believe? Won't you embrace it? Can't you believe The power between us?
Oh discord, see them fail, oh!
Won't you believe? Won't you embrace it? Can't you believe the power between us? Can't you believe that this power we feel can be for real? The smile that was given light now seems to freeze, but why?Northward - While Love Died (MUSIC VIDEO)Floor Jansen2024-01-02 | Official Northward music video for While Love Died from 2019. Northward features Floor Jansen on vocals.
LYRICS WHILE LOVE DIED: You love me, you hate me, would you please decide We've fed hatred through the things we didn't say I guess honesty sometimes really breaks things up I love you, I hate you and can't I decide what feels better when darkness has devoured light But I fail to believe this is also you When it's black! When all you see and do is black This raging part of you breaks me down A blinded hate marked within your soul
Black or white Love or fight Hate can taint our brightest memory Black or white Anguished pride
What if all stayed the same Was that better? Black and white turned to grey Is that better? We hurt the ones we love the most What if we turned the tide Will it matter? What if we left out pride Would that better withered hope and mourn the love that's turned black
When you're okay, you're smiling and you're doing fine You can charm and lure, make me remember why But that could be a facade to get what you need When you're not fine, you're raging, your face like a mask Eyes filled with fire seem to burn me down, as a dark opponent to your smiles And I'm scared! In fear and rage I turn away I've seen too much of this to know your games I've had too much I have to let you go Goodbye
Black or white, while love died No in between or grey for you Black or white, all tears dried What face will you put up this time?
What if all stayed the same Was that better? Black and white turned to grey Is that better? We hurt the ones we love the most What if we turned the tide Will it matter? What if we left out pride Would that better withered hope and mourn the love that's turned black
Black or white, while love died What if all stayed the same Was that better? Black and white turned to grey Is that better?

After Forever featured Floor Jansen on vocals.
LYRICS MY CHOICE: Is it not the choosing that makes the life we live so intricate? Are the options we have too endless to control? Can we oversee the offers and their demands and their goals? Can we oversee our own needs if we do not know What it is we really want?
Our minds, instead of our hearts What we feel confuses our thoughts
Security, an ancient quest Standing alone, the ultimate test Still we search for warmth in the materialized luxuries in life The times have changed but we are still the same Another choice 'cause we still don't know
Let me see where I belong Let me be a little part of it Can I choose my way in life? Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?
A choice without the illusion that luck is for sale 'cause I have all that money can buy
A choice means freedom And endless options Can we survey that? Can freedom be controlled? The option's bitter It leaves a part of you behind the borders of your choice
Let me see where I belong Let me be a little part of it Can I choose my way in life? Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?
Let me see where I belong Let me be a little part of it Can I choose my way in life? Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?After Forever - Being Everyone (MUSIC VIDEO)Floor Jansen2024-01-02 | Official After Forever music video for Being Everyone from 2005. After Forever featured Floor Jansen on vocals.
LYRICS BEING EVERYONE: Who am I at night when my eyes are closed tight? Who am I and where when I see far beyond? Every border, every dream, every hidden memory Every nightmare, truth or dare Who do I see
Now Look at me, Tell me what you see Are we just being everyone?
Where am I? Tell me, what should go, what should stay? Where am I, where am I? And where shall I go tonight? Every night a different theme, Every time you're in a different dream Am I me there, what am I? Who will I be
Now Look at me, Tell me what you see Are we just being everyone? Look at me, Tell me what you see Are we being everyone?
I cry, I fall I love, I hate I know many, though no face ever stays I breathe, I fly I kill, I die Though there's nothing that I know No-one can recall where I have been or who I was
Look at me, Tell me what you see Are we being everyone?
Look at me, Tell me what you see Are we just being everyone? Look at me, Tell me what you see It's me being everyoneAfter Forever - Digital Deceit (MUSIC VIDEO)Floor Jansen2024-01-02 | Official After Forever music video for Digital Deceit from 2004. After Forever featured Floor Jansen on vocals.
LYRICS DIGITAL DECEIT: Come enter, here's my world Closed off from pain and cold Come enter, come inside A secret place of light 'Cause in this world I'm rid of you, you can't get through
So here I am and I'm beautiful and all my friends would say the same So here I am; and you cannot deny that I am someone you'd embrace I am the queen; I'm pure and loved by everyone
Come enter, here's my code Through the world wide wire you'll know me The queen of her own world My story; meet my life
So now you see, there is another me Not someone insecure and strange My father's will in here, it doesn't mean a thing And I don't fear his violent rage
I am the queen; you know I'm loved by everyone
Come enter, here's my code Through the world wide wire you'll know The queen of her own world
Stop dreaming and wake up Your silly world is not what's real This world of fake friends and computers - digital deceit
This cyber wall (this cyber wall) is built to break out or hold The choice is yours (the choice is yours), will you dream or see what's real?
Oh...no, no more Just let me be alone with myself These conflicting thoughts increase my doubts
I am the queen, I must be loved This so-called 'wall' is there to protect a life controlled by keys, closed off from pain and cold
Digital deceit... digital, digital, digital...After Forever - Emphasis (MUSIC VIDEO)Floor Jansen2024-01-02 | Official After Forever music video for Emphasis from 2002. After Forever featured Floor Jansen on vocals.
LYRICS EMPHASIS: The game is over, time has taught life Open your eyes and embrace our so called paradise All the notions and thoughts, devise a way to make it yours The enigma of a reason
How can life be what you want it to be Find the emphasis in your own reality
Deviate from the search with episodic glimpses Of a spectrum no one can see or feel, nor declare
Slowly become aware life knows its prophecies Find the emphasis in your own reality
In all life you see A sudden shifting of events What's coincidence, what's faith?
The ambiguity makes the sense of our destiny worth searching for What can it induce?
If our being was omniscient? There's so much you'll never know, but
Your life will be what you want it to be Find the emphasis in your own realityStill riding yesterdays high! ☺️ AFAS Live 2023 recap!Floor Jansen2023-12-09 | ...Dec 8: Amsterdam show! 🎸 New solo & Nightwish music coming 🎶Floor Jansen2023-11-29 | 🌟 Recharged and Ready to Rock! 🔥🎤 Excited to be back on stage again Dec 8th in Amsterdam!

COME FULL CIRCLE LYRICS: Time to mend us To regain trust Still, we are on our own, with words unspoken
Time to heal us Hope is treacherous Down the road, where we once flowed, now all seems broken
We tried to talk and shout, to stop, break out, scream more, ignore. I never stopped believing but we fight, and bite, but said we might continue trying ’Cause we keep on swearing that it
All came from the heart I’m so numbed, where did we lose everything? All tears have dried As we collide Oh, I’m so numbed. Didn’t we do everything? We have come full circle, on and on
Time to see us As we were, not venomous Clear our hearts, break the chain Before we’re broken
We tried to talk and shout, to stop, break out, scream more, ignore I never stopped believing but we fight, and bite, but said we might continue trying ’Cause we keep on swearing that it
All came from the heart I’m so numbed, where did we lose everything? All tears have dried As we collide Oh, I’m so numbed. Didn’t we do everything? We have come full circle, on and on
Honestly Don’t let this be I always thought that we could break this chain But if you let me go And give up hope Our days together will be lost, in vain
Even though we tried to talk and shout, to stop, break out, scream more. I never stopped believing ’cause we fight our fight, but know we might continue loving as we keep on knowing that it
All came from the heart I’m so numbed, where did we lose everything? All tears have dried As we collide Oh, I’m so numbed. Didn’t we do everything? We have come full circle, on and on
It all came from the heart I’m so numbed, but we won’t lose everything! All tears have dried As we collide Oh, I’m so numbed, but we will do everything! We could break the circle all alongFloor Jansen - Hope (Official Audio)Floor Jansen2023-03-23 | "Hope" is taken from my upcoming album "Paragon", which is out now!

HOPE LYRICS: Life’s deranging You started changing Sidelined I stood by
The fights worth fighting You were biting But you lost this time
Hope Hope is where the heart beats on And even when you changed, and all feels wrong A better day will come if we stand tall, to give us hope Hope is where we’ll meet once more Our journey will continue as before I hope to meet again; the one I knew. You as you are, to stay.
Fear’s no mentor Pain your own war There’s no giving up
Hope Hope is where the heart beats on And even when you changed, and all feels wrong A better day will come if we stand tall, to give us hope Hope is where we’ll meet once more Our journey will continue as before I hope to meet again; the one I knew.

THE CALM LYRICS: When the world around us keeps on firing But the strength to take it in is lost And the face we show, keeps us in hiding ‘Cause the truth inside’s too hard to show
On and on and on…
And the world around us keeps on shouting But the will to hear its cry is lost With our inner storm we reap the silence ‘Cause the scream inside would get you crushed
Too many days behind the calm In this deafening silence In our heads the rage goes on and on and on An unheard violence Let lightning strike, set all ablaze Crash into brighter days Too many times behind the calm But on and on we go
And the world around us keeps on burning But the weight to stand our ground is lost It’s the gentle hearts that lose the fighting ’Cause the seeing ones diverse at cost
Too many days behind the calm In this deafening silence In our head the rage goes on and on and on An unheard violence Let lightning strike, set all ablaze Crash into brighter days Too many times behind the calm But on and on we go
And on and on we go Like a stranger in our own lives And on and on we go Ride a constant wave And on and on we go Born to deviate And on and on and on and on and on and on we go!
Too many days behind the calm In our heads the rage goes on and on and on An unheard violence Let lightning strike, set all ablaze Crash into brighter days Too many times behind the calm But on and on we goFloor Jansen - Armoured Wings (Official Audio)Floor Jansen2023-03-23 | "Armoured Wings" is taken from my debut album "Paragon", which is out now!

LYRICS ARMOURED WINGS: Take another breath and go to sleep You’ve seen this all before and it cuts deep But it’s hard for me to stand by, watch you weep Hang in there darling
I know you need; you need to bleed it out. And I’ll be by your side when you need to scream it out
Wish I could take the sting be like armoured wings around you, around you And I will keep you up through the storm, the storm that surrounds you, surrounds you, surrounds you You’ll be stronger every day, but it cuts deep
Years has melted into one large stone too heavy to roll it out alone But it won’t stay forever you should know Hang in there darling I know there are still many days to dread But the ones to come are your own stories, unread
Wish I could take the sting be like armoured wings around you, around you And I will keep you up through the storm, the storm that surrounds you, surrounds you, surrounds you
You’ll be stronger every day, but it cuts deep
Wish I could take the sting be like armoured wings around you, around you And I will keep you up through the storm, the storm that surrounds you, surrounds you, surrounds you
You’ll be stronger every day, but it cuts deepBTS look at the acoustic My Paragon rehearsal for tonights tv performance! 🔥 #floorjansenFloor Jansen2023-03-22 | ...
