Elephant

Always hungry and always thirsty
I have the memory of an elephant, don't say a bad word about a brother
Always hungry and always thirsty
 
When I enter the meeting, it smells like bad blood
The suits think they know the character of Lahti
Give me seven days and I'll do the Makaveli
MC:s roam in Dante's Inferno with their necks backwards
If you ever dare to play the game, you and your sect will be run over
Sampo, give me penalty, I can sit for 12 games
In my feet there's black cement and elephant skin
They drop little pellets, we elephant shit
 
Yeah, piss-smelling suburbs, less and less visitors
The image of the city stays, and if someone tries to change it they will retaliate
The name of the game here is that jonne's don't drop my glass
In here the people don't turn the other cheek, but if you touch, it's on!
Few people have much to say, only warning examples of Lahti
But you only wait until the fire of Lahti spreads from here
And someday it will burn the ground
That's why the grapevine is active, so they would remember:
If you talk shit about my city you will whisper it
 
Always hungry and always thirsty
I have the memory of an elephant, don't say a bad word about a brother
Always hungry and always thirsty
Always hungry and always thirsty
I have the memory of an elephant, don't say a bad word about a brother
 
Pick up your disrt in Costa Rica, lift the bar yeah
Lahti United in this bitch, buy yourself an image
Rock Chicago, Rock Chicago
But you can't rock like us, or your knees let go
Automatic fire flow, overpowering
Little boys don't jump in your face and if there's some show I'll take care of it
As an elephant in the room, blindsided
Did you struck a gold vein? Please, take the money and run
 
Nikke comes into the house and the booth looks like Mordor
I can make them think that one can use hormones in rap
Fuck being relevant, I want to be timeless
Lahti United, every brother has others' back
Mammoths are alive, check that playboy
You can seal lines, homeboy
But you can't copy respect
 
Dipped in a hot cauldron, elephant you're on thin ice
You only breathe because you're allowed to live
Beware your dive
Be sure you don't suffocate because none of us will never resuscitate you
Dipped in a hot cauldron, elephant you're on thin ice
You only breathe because you're allowed to live
Beware your dive
Be sure you don't suffocate because none of us will never resuscitate you
 
Hey, hey
Messed up on the inside, lost my vibe
Blood is shed in fifteen minutes, barbies and kens
Zero three Lahti ruined the vibe again
Monolinguals abroad, nothing more than that
Where's your click? Fact or fiction?
Truth or mission? Solve that puzzle
The name of the game is elephant in the underworld
Or rap of today

Starry Night

You're a starry night
 
You're being watched from afar
Many surely follow you
But can't work out
whether you're just a shooting star
 
You live mostly at nights
And if I was more brave
I'd hover behind you
But you only glow at night
 
Oh starry night
Distant
Oh starry night
If you only knew
 
I've often tried to get you to come along
But usually I've just gotten beat up
I thought you could be caught
Maybe one day I'll get lucky
 
Of course you made it clear
That there'll be no love story, no
What else could I have expected
What else when you stare at the sky
 
Oh starry night
Distant
Oh starry night
If you only knew
 
You're a spring night
 
Your coolness will kill
But I still try to go on
Until the morning makes
you escape from me
 
Can't figure out your feelings
Why you dither perhaps you're scared
to show your heart
At night behind the stars
 
Oh starry night
Distant
Oh starry night
I wish I could find it
 
I've often tried to get you to come along
But usually I've just gotten beat up
I thought you could be caught
Maybe one day I'll get lucky
 
Of course you made it clear
That there'll be no love story, no
What else could I have expected
What else when you stare at the sky
 
Oh starry night
Distant
Oh starry night
If you only knew
 

Hero's Tango

'Once, I mistook an ocean for a lake' he recited the poem
In the depths of that mystery he spent his whole life
Under a dark ocean, in the shadows he wanders
Searching for a way back into the light to his loved one
 
Alone, the hero continues his journey into the night
That burden on his shoulders, like a promise, always would be
In this game this fool is struck down again and again
Only a moment of rest in death is given
Already called back again
 
Time breaks into eternity, a gunshot echoes
There’s never a happy end for him
This story has been told so many times before
The hero has a thousand faces and a hopeless path
 
Alone, the hero continues his journey into the night
That burden on his shoulders, like a promise, always would be
In this game this fool is struck down again and again
Only a moment of rest in death is given
Already called back again
 

To the beat of the drum's tradition

To the beat of the drum's tradition
Sings the flute of the cedar tree
The seasons change
Smiling lips harvest the corn
 
By the shining waters
Where the sturgeon can swim
The reap the tribes harvests
It's (all) given by Mother Earth
 
Spirit, hear our song
Preserving the tradition
Our sacred, excellent fire
Lead us to connection
 
Seasons change
To the beat of the drum's tradition
Nature nourishes us
To the beat of the drum's tradition
 

My dark luck

Actually I don't have much to write about.
I didn't mention anyone about the things that happened,
about the things that I kept to myself.
Let it be.
Finally that day shall come and longing will end.
And sure we will rejoin with lies again.
I don't understand people, each of them wear a different mask.
Indeed we all are drinking for the same problem bt nobody says it aloud.
I've had it up to here!
How should I talk about what happened?
Do you think this sorrow would go away without getting it off our chest? (ahhh)
This won't work like this.
When I'm about to burst, not talking about my sorrow..
Is sheer torture.
Although how nice that drama had ended.
We had forgotten what happened.
Why did you come out of nowhere now?
Give up.
Bro, forget everything that happened enough.
You've been drinking for the same sorrow everyday but
Is there anyone who is smiling among us?
Everyone is carrying a scar on their chest.
Everyone has a drink in front of them
Do you think the only person who fell in painful love was you?
O my dark luck!
 
Oooof let it be, let it bleed.
Bleed!
What kind of a scar are you?
Do you think the only person who fell in painful love was you?
O my dark luck!
 
Remember the times
When I couldnt wait till you come,
when you told me lies while you were looking me directly in the eye.
We had sailed for a love that would never end.
But you drowned in someone else's wave, remember that.
Now you come out of nowhere.
What do you expect?
You talk the same lie,
business as usual.
Are you checking up on me tell me?
Do you think I would buy this fuckery(hee)
And how do you like it now?
Go the same way you came.
I'm used to being without you here.
''I love you so much'',
if that's what you want to hear, let me say it.
I didn't tell anyone about what happened.
Now leave so that I won't lose my head.
Do you expect me to burn for you?
Every night in Karaköy in a bar,
Sometimes for nonsense,
I've been to police station and jail.
And sometimes my days pass
By a corner of my town.
What do you care
Fuck off!
 
Ooof let it bleed.
Bleed!
What kind of a scar you are ?
 
Don't act like you're the only one who fell in painful love.
O my dark luck!
O my dark luck!
 

My Comfort Zone

Versions: #2
What's wrong with me?
Oh, my comfort zone
You know , my heart is so sad
I cry everyday
 
My sorrow is increasing
And people are laughing at me
I miss you , and that became a scandal
I became crazy
 
Just let me see you
Come back and don't make me cry
Why do I feel that from the day you've gone..
Everything is so invaluable
 
***
 
What's wrong with your love?
You forgot my love
I can't sleep without you
My heart became blind
 
Why did you go?
I have changed so much
I cry everyday
No healing for my heart
 
Just let me see you
Come back and don't make me cry
Why do I feel that from the day you've gone..
Everything is so invaluable
 

The Bay of Tears

My brother went through the ice
I ran into a table's corner end
Drilled by a pile of worries
Sorrow is a joy
A nice kilogram of stone against my chest
Don’t come here to talk to me
 
The name of this drink is The Bay of Tears
It’s enjoyed alone and drinked bottom up
Now sorrow is my date, I dance with her
A cheek to cheek tango, the last waltz
 
Ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
The Bay of Tears
 
Ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
The Bay of Tears
 
Get out of my way now
I want to bury myself deep in self-pity
In a ocean bank
Because our Maija
After the lottery last Saturday,
Walked out on me
 
The name of this drink is The Bay of Tears
It’s enjoyed alone and drinked bottom up
Now sorrow is my date, I dance with her
A cheek to cheek tango, the last waltz
 
Ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
The Bay of Tears
 
Ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
The Bay of Tears
 
The name of this drink is The Bay of Tears
It’s enjoyed alone and drinked bottom up
Now sorrow is my date, I dance with her
A cheek to cheek tango, the last waltz
 
Let me see one more time
Those razorblades
Those balls of twine
And in the last quarter
In which Finland is leading Sweden five to one
And life on the planet turns into smiles
 
There’s a sturdy branch of the birch in the yard
But now I wouldn't bother climbing up there
Does anyone have a ladder to borrow?
Or how much does it weigh
If there's a place to swim in?
 
Ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
The Bay of Tears
 
Ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
The Bay of Tears
 

The Night Is Full of Stars

Versions: #2
I move in the wind of other people,
I don't see nor hear anything else
Time slips away hopelessly
 
It is not the first night
I don't know yet what's going to happen
when/how suspiciously everything gets silent
Like this, I meet you before midnight,
I find you by chance.
Then you grab my hand and tell me
switch the lights off, switch the lights off,
switch the lights off, switch the lights off
 
Because the night is full of stars
It pulls you along
and it could swallow us up
The night is full of stars
It takes hold of us
and gives reasons for follies
The night is full of stars
 
Hundreds of planets
are in the system with us
as far as the eye can see.
On this trip of dreams,
we just spend a moment
again unnoticedly morning has come
Is it for real or am I still dreaming?
It's still too early to wake up.
Again you grab my hand and tell me
switch the lights off, switch the lights off,
switch the lights off, switch the lights off

A wanderer's night star

The door of my home didn't even creak
When the boy left off to the world
It just stared bleakly
Only one lit the way
A wanderer's night star, a wanderer's night star
 
My father didn't offer me his advices
When the boy left off to the world
Just complains I got for the road
Only one didn't complain, it understood
A wanderer's night star, a wanderer's night star
 
My mother didn't give me provisions
When the boy left off to the world
Just evil looks I got for the road
Only one didn't say no, it pardoned
A wanderer's night star, a wanderer's night star
 
My girl didn't wave her scarf
When the boy left off to the world
Just accuses I got as a memory
Only one didn't accuse, nor blamed
A wanderer's night star, a wanderer's night star
Just accuses I got as a memory
Only one didn't accuse, nor blamed
A wanderer's night star, a wanderer's night star
A wanderer's night star, a wanderer's night star
 

The ring

Maybe the ring's to blame
That I gave to you
I had carved with six letters
The word I love you
Maybe it was too early
To tell you something like that
What is scaring you and you're avoiding me
Not letting me see you
Maybe my songs are to blame
But I can't find another way to touch you
Throw away my ring if you wish
But don't demand that I erase that word
 
Maybe it's that it's been five days
Since I saw you
I've filled a thousand pages to tell you
All that I feel
If they're wrong, I'd like that you come
And teach me the right thing
Don't leave me, I can't stand to
Live apart from you
Maybe my songs are to blame
But I can't find another way to touch you
Throw away my ring if you wish
But don't demand that I erase that word
