Bye Bye Beautiful is the second track on Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish’s Dark Passion Play album.

The single was released on February 15, 2008 in three versions, CD, DVD and 12 inch. It includes an DJ Orkidea Remix Version of the song as well as a demo version of “The Poet and the Pendulum” and Dark Passion Play’s Japanese bonus track “Escapist”.
The vocal parts are shared between the band’s two vocalists, Anette Olzon and Marco Hietala. He is performing the chorus and the bridge giving him the lead vocals of the song. In the studio version of the chorus he sings “did we play to become only pawns in the game?”, but in live sessions he sings “did we play, to become pawns in the game?”, replacing “only” with a pause.[3]
In the Dark Passion Play tour, Bye Bye Beautiful has become a frequent opening track for live performances. A promo version of the track was leaked to the Internet on July 11th, 2007.
Music video
In the video for “Bye Bye Beautiful”, the four male members of the band are replaced by four female figures throughout the verses. Though some viewers supposed that the underlying message was “Nightwish is not just about beautiful females”, Holopainen said in a Finnish interview that the female doubles in this video have nothing to do with the removal of Tarja Turunen from Nightwish. “It’s just pure self-irony and rock ‛n roll”, he says, though some viewers get the idea that they were telling Tarja either that she can be easily replaced, or that anyone in the band could have been replaced, not just her.
The video was released on September 27, 2007.

Lyrics
Sweet little words made for silence
Not talk
Young heart for love
Not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he’s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
hold another hand while the hand’s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they’re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour´s never a wasted one
The violin, the poet´s hand
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he’s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
hold another hand while the hand’s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they’re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

Nightwish - Nemo
This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I’d give my everything
My flower
Withered between
The pages two and three
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I’d give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I’d give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore
Nemo my name for evermore
