Salla wants wings

Versions: #1
you want out
yet you don't know where would be good
and you hide everything
what should I do
if I saw just one tear
I would dry it
 
you tell me that daylight scares you
yet you spend your nights awake
and can't get sleep
 
I can't help
 
maybe with unbroken wings
we will glide sometime
somewhere below every else is sleeping
no one will find us
we will be marked into the darkness
trees of the pitch black woods gain a secret
 
inside you
there is a heavy, shoreless water
it moves the apathetic
as the tide rises or falls
carrying the wretch
 
when I can't reach you
I always fear
that you will hurt yourself again
 
and I can't help
 
maybe with unbroken wings
we will glide sometime
somewhere below every else is sleeping
no one will find us
we will be marked into the darkness
trees of the pitch black woods gain a secret
 

Boy

Versions: #1
when the algae rafts at night wash into the harbor
will he come watch
and his bottle mail is in the cold
green dousing its neck
the boy doesn't wait, he dives
and tries to reach his bottle
the fish won't hold him, he sinks
into the prison of that force field
realm of water
 
in there he saw heaven
and that sea was bottomless
blinded and entangled him
into the world that lies there
 
there's no worry, no dark
earth's pressure tires and vanishes
such a grand bliss!
and he stays in the fairytale with seagrass in his lap
 

oh lord stay with me

Versions: #1
oh lord stay with me
its already the dawn
and all gone is
light of the sun
who would comfort me when im in down
who would get safety in his soul in fight
 
my days are running, all towards their end
is joy all temporal like shadow of darkness
there is nothing permanent in this place
only you my lord with me you stay
 
you make evil ambush all to vain
you take my pain, and fry all my tears
where there is now dead, its your winning all
when you Jesus your my shield are
 
you my lords cross please light my way
when to the dead valley leads my trail
from that lights way, all the shadows disappear
in the living, in the dead you'll stay with me
 
from that lights way, all the shadows disappear
in the living, in the dead you'll stay with me
 

A artist

Versions: #2
Who is meh and who is eek
Who do you have to suck up to
Who is still believable
Who has piss in the head
Who is the most famous artist in the family?
(For there are so many of them)
Whose music is selling out
and whose art show is shit?
 
You've been working on some stuff
And you sure remember to advertise
Is your beret tilted, huh, huh?
As your source of inspiration
you have an old fossil who knew:
the Earth is flat.
 
From a column you can borrow
a fancy new sentence.
Say that it's your own -
you sure are very humble.
You're definitely not ordinary
for you have a nice scarf
That's like, bought from New York Soho.
 
Well isn't that cute
You would like to show off
And provably your business card says 'A artist'
But it's lacking a 'N'
Did you forget what we learned
When wasting time in primary school?
Even back then your business card said 'A artist'
 
But you're lacking a head
I had forgotten about that
 
Who is meh and who is eek
Who do you have to suck up to
Who is still believable
Who has piss in the head?
Your bag is showing PAP and Image
Curtis is already liveless, but you can feel him.
 
You've been working on some stuff
And you sure remember to advertise
Is your beret tilted, huh, huh?
As your source of inspiration
You have Brecht and then Nietsch
good Lord you're important
 
Brand clothes caress your body
Somewhere in China children are sweating
You sip on Merlot as a visitor
Making contacts and giving them pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu...
 

Be there somewhere mine

Versions: #1
You say that someday after years we'll have time
So much time that we can throw ourselves to float on it
We'll take the twins to the Turku Castle and see the cruise passing by
It's on its way to Stockholm, on the deck there are other people too who have time
 
chorus:
Am I waiting for you in vain after all?
What if the same just happens like to the others?
The distance tortures and bothers me
Who decides, which are the ones who are able to make it?
Be there somewhere mine
 
I've again set the table for two just for fun
Even though I know that you won't be home for 3 weeks
Will you still love me when I'm wrinkly?
The goldest evening sun paints us to the world more beautiful
 
chorus
 
The connection is bad
Call me again tomorrow
 

The Sailor's Wife

Versions: #2
She just could not help herself
Allowed bitterness to take seed
It nested somewhere in her chest
As she never went to any school
She then had a lot of kids
As many as she has toes
 
Her heart would always crumple down
When departure drew near once again
But only the weak show their feelings
On the docks they wave
Everyone whose lot is to wait
 
The man was taken by the ship and cresting waves
Far from here and into warmth
The wife stayed to raise their kids
Years ate their trails onto her face
 
She was not always like she is now
So hateful and so old-fashioned
Now she only talks to walls alone
Cross-stitched pictures stare at her
As she shuffles through postcards
The kids never come to visit her
 
Left on the shore again
Still that holy wrath warms her heart
Oh how the years have passed since then
When the kids took her to the dock
And the ship came, but he never did
 
At the old hotel
In her bright blue dress
She had been doing her hair for an hour
In the attic room
He gives a long look
Walks up to her, asks for a dance
Says that every dance of the night
Is hers and hers alone
 
With red cheeks, she shakes her head
Makes note of every word
She is hesitant
While he is strong and determined
Takes whatever he desires
And now he desires the girl
Life is a reverie from a song
Prince of the seas and his kingdom
The orchestra plays
The violin's silence could not be sweeter
With firm grip he leads the dance
Takes care and never lets go
The hands still have strength and feeling
Old age is far and illness unknown
 

Don't You Understand

Don't you understand what I said to you
I can whisper it one more time
That I will show my new games to you too
To that I'd also like to add that I care about you
 
I will show my new games to you too
To that I'd also like to add that I care about you
To that I'd also like to add that I care about you
 

Very Quietly

Very quietly, very quietly
The voices of the fairies resound
They dance the whole night again, singing
The whole night, singing
 
Very quietly, very quietly
The little stars light up
They wait through the night again, shining
Through the night, shining
 
Very quietly, very quietly
The voices of the fairies quieten
They fly up to the stars again
Up to the stars
 

Thank You II

Maybe you remember me
And you can't confide
Write about us now that your current one is angry
And can't stand me at all
I see you in my dreams
Nobody can take them away from me
 
Many times it goes like this
Everything doesn't show on the surface
You got angry when you couldn't get into my closed rooms
You wanted to know
Why there was always a piece missing
Why did I wander and sidestep
Oh, if only I knew that myself
 
Even though everything will be forgotten
Thank you for putting up with me for even a little too long
You accepted a half out of madness
I've never known how to give more anyway
 
If I could ask for one thing
Even if it wasn't true
Tell me that I'm one of a kind
So that I believe it
Others aren't as much
Nobody can exceed
But someone still has to avoid
 
Even though everything will be forgotten
Thank you for putting up with me for even a little too long
Thank you for accepting a half
I've never known how to give more anyway
 
Thank you for trying to understand
I knew even you couldn't do it
If I sometimes remember too much
I'll drink one more and I'll remember much less
 
Yo, you can leave out the name at the end of the message
I think you've poured yourself a glass again, no
The music ended, I'm thinking about the old times
We agreed to still be friends in our thirties
On park benches, on an outing in Hertsikka1
Hey, hey, I haven't finished the story yet
That evening on the walls of houses
In a shadow play both of us looked like monsters for a moment
But it was only for a moment
We're cool, right?
You opened me up, I'm grateful and mellow
In a county of veils
As thieves in a pity
Where people are too scared of getting stuck together
 
In oblivion we hear voices
Might as well medicate yourself with one more glass
When your partner is distraught and asks you who sent that text
(What? Stop it)
Sleep would be nice now, but I'm being grilled by my loved ones
Fiery nature, come and drop a couple of curses
Both of us go on some strange spiel
Until in the end I'm sitting curled up on the floor of the study
Oh, sounds sweet?
One of a kind? Yeah, to each their own
With you I don't have to wait for oblivion
I remember until my memory dies and the dome collapses
 
(Even though everything will be forgotten)
(Even though everything will be forgotten)
 
Thank you for putting up with me for even a little too long
I'll pour one more time and everything will be forgotten
Searching takes its time here
And in the end we'll see what we ended up weaving
 
Thank you for putting up with me for even a little too long
I'll pour one more time and everything will be forgotten
Searching takes its time here
And in the end we'll see what we ended up weaving
 
Thank you for putting up with me for even a little too long
I'll pour one more time and everything will be forgotten
Searching takes its time here
And in the end we'll see what we ended up weaving

Tougher hands

Versions: #3
On top of a dresser, an old school picture
silver-lined and fading
The photographer wanted to make everyone smile
I prayed that you give angels
to protect with their wings
Oh, surely you won't make a child walk alone
in the dusky night
 
When the first snow
Birthed in the heavens
Came into the ground
He did not come home in the evening
 
A tougher heart and tougher hands
have grabbed him
The most familiar streets and stones and ditches
They have hidden our son
A tougher heart and tougher hands
have grabbed him
The street won't talk, won't confess anything
Where it has lost the boy
 
That which you took
was someone elses
 
The length of life is a mothers worry
The cradle is silent now and the rocking chair
Who could harm a mothers little one?
 
When the first snow
Birthed in the heavens
Melted into the ground
He did not come home in the evening
 
A tougher heart and tougher hands
have grabbed him
The most familiar streets and stones and ditches
They have hidden our son
A tougher heart and tougher hands
have grabbed him
The street won't talk, won't confess anything
Where it has lost the boy
 
Damned guilty one!
Some faceless human!
Which one of you is it?
And whose hands are clean?
 
Wherever I go in the world
You will be there to take care of me
 
A tougher heart and tougher hands
have grabbed him
The most familiar streets and stones and ditches
They have hidden our son
A tougher heart and tougher hands
grabbed him
The snows melting today have revealed the boy at the bottom of a ditch
