All these stories we´ve been told
in our veins like poison we are getting old
for now our dreams are on hold
watch them slowly form and unfold
The dreams we encounter and have
we should hold near us
listening to the roar
of silence that fears us
Sooner or later they will be
dugged from the sleet and the snow
whether or not we like it
it will be time that shall flow
Because the fear of losing it all
is so powerful but
together we will stand tall
or crawl to the wall
What is left of us you can
change for other parts
and look at us now in our
shelthered houses and hearts
Sooner or later they will be
dugged from the sand and the soil
whether or not we like it
it will be space that shall boil
Often we hide behind trenchcoats and whatnot
when the great rain begins to fall
we don´t notice the signs all around
because the umbrellas they cover the sky
Please don´t take my love away from me
please not right now
please, please

Through then to now many words are
written my way of course that´s okay with me
Up and down this world takes a different
form each day, but none of us can stay
What becomes of us in the evening?
Is there a lie at the end of the tunnel?
I don´t know, I just say whoa
life is a foe when you live by the flow
Hey hey my love I wish you could see
this song tonight...maybe you will
So we cry to see the sunset in our eyes
the ultimate sunglass thrill
We become the places we´ve been to
the people we meet are there in the funnel
So it goes when the world turns its toes
the people share their woes as the sunset grows

Rose of the curve has the nerve to
swelter and swerve and light my verve
deserving to blur the lines that draw
the serpent to crawl inside to further observe
The fickle affections that turn into afflictions
those remorseful reactions that are rooted in attraction
a natal contraction of love is only inaction if
distraction and destruction is the only fought concoction
of love inside and up above
The road will lead to withering
on the cement of the asphalt guise
the road led to smitten wings
lighting a signal between the fireflies
The road leads to a sweaty shore
where we evermore may roam care free
if ever we should wonder why all things
pass then look beyond the sea
The curves of the rose choose to expose the
secret feats of frozen treats that enamours to write prose
and oh so the rose its blooming grows on me while the crows
dose on places without traces, new names of faces
The blinding work of deed
in relation to our inner need
that feeds the greed and bleeds the seed
exceeds the creed and leads the plead
Fights to salvage what can be saved
enraptures those who love engraved
protects the ones that can be blamed
the framed, shamed, maimed and taimed
claimed by love, saved if push comes to shove
The road will lead to withering
on the cement of the asphalt guise
the road led to smitten wings
lighting a signal between the fireflies
The road leads to a sweaty shore where we evermore
may roam care free if ever we should wonder why
all things pass then look beyond the sea

Kudos to you my love mutta älä ole niin saita
kudos (kudos)...kudos mullekin paita, kulta...kultapaita, kulta
intrically we´ve been weaved to this thing called reality
eipä siinä ihmeellisempää kun on suu ja silmät kii, silmät kii
Nyt silmät kii! We are free to be what we wanna be
tyhjyyteen huuda wii!
Come on is there anyone in this
house tonight in this city alright
joiden elämässä on muutakin kuin vain ihmisten lait
I feel it´s coming like a wave, a tidalwave yeah
I feel like we should be hanging on our sheets
but we´re not and we´re not gonna be
Kites like thoughts they fly by, illuminating the sky
samalla tavalla talsien takiaiset ja taulapäät
eivät taliaivoin tavoita niitä kai milloinkaan
So funk it with your funkit näin kaatuu pankit
ja vallan ottaa monkeyt lainaa antaa kun hankit
vankityrmässä on tankit mutta kengistä jäi lankit
So funk it up, pump it down
get your life from the ground
it´s not same mistakes that we make
it´s the all intentional
all groove comprehensional
do you realize that those lives
are forever lost, lost, gone
they´re forever gone
Diana & Dio
Michael Jackson let go
mummi kohta ukki
äiti, joulupukki
we´re still here but we´re not
gonna be here for ever that´s for sure

Dreamweaver ask them why
let it all go and try not to cry
through their thoughts make it known
that nobody is ever all alone
And all you should know is within you
and all that can´t be said it still pins you
and all that you need is around you
and all that was lost it surrounds you
"This too shall pass"
the indigo child remarked
but do not be afraid
to let your life be sparked
Days gone by bear a mark
harking like a lark in the dark
wearing these weary memories
like twisted knives stuck on trees
How could we have known what is to come
blindly gazing our eyes up to the holy sun
your heart should always be just like a tree
spreading in the skies, rooted, free
"Now we are free"
the bearded old man he said
he was weaving dreams
threading them through tears shed

Waiting on the line hoping that you´d come by
wondering, not really knowing where to go
but holding tight onto love
Hating all the time will only drain your soul dry
moving for a while without a reason to rhyme
Heeding the battle call, even the strong will crawl
I will not let you fall, if only I could do more I would
why not look inside the maze fazed by all that
went wrong
Losing all hope is gone when you let it go down
chosing which way to go, the nearest port to freedom
feeding the cattle´s squall, faking that I belong
caving into these walls one day we´ll be standing tall & proud
Why not look beyond the days
faced by this shit that just prolongs and oh my
furiously flawfull heart how awful your thoughts
how you do me wrong but you still make it right

Look at us now in our
sheltered houses and hearts
how we act out the great performance
called life where we all play our parts
Still is the nightingale with its
feathers pointed at the moon
it knows that the judgement is coming
sooner than the dawn breaks into noon
And still we don´t know how this story goes
defamiliarized we are from all our woes
where we are from is irrelevant as we
walk on the shores of the bloodbath
The shadows between us grow deeper
like a tree stretching into too many suns
the burdening cloak of worry has made
our shoulders look like the handle of guns
Surrounded by demons which
do not have a name or a face
covering our secret scars with
laughter that falls out of place
And still we don´t know how this story goes
defamiliarized we are from all our woes
where we are from is irrelevant as we
walk down the stairs of the aftermath
And we seem to find the
right words at the wrong time
or the wrong words at the right time
and I can´t quite feel the weight
of my hand caressing your face
And if in your heart there´s still
hope brewing for a better & brighter future
well let me tell you that this is now and
we are still here no reason why we should
fear of the things to come
so far we´ve come
And we struggle through
the rain and the shining sun
and care for each other
as for me well
it´s the same as for thee
we are free and
we should be happy
for who we are my love
Me
you and me
that´s where
I would like us to be
so you and me
(where we need to be)
where we need to be

You said we should not fret but you left your heart open
remembering there´s always so many obstacles in our way
our wealth is to leave the highest two always open
you must keep a good stealth just keep your friends
and your enemies closer to you
Feelings are hard to deny, but they are harder to abide to
but if it´s a storm across the water
bring your barkboat for the water to slaughter
Wouldn´t it be nice, wouldn´t it suffice well
the task is daunting and the daunting´s just begun
we stood there in the light with
hammers in our heads & hearts & hands
I love you, I need you, I´m scared to proceed
to the only thing that´s left
Feelings are hard to deny, harder still to reasonably defy
and if it´s a storm across the water
bring your barkboat for the water to slaughter
"Sinä yhdistit padot ja panssarit
minä erotin marttyyrit
antaa joen tulvia
minä soitan pianoa"
Laulun kuulija voi alkaa kuvitella
että laulun kertoja on päästään vialla
ja puhuu aivan hulluja
Hänhän soittaa kitaraa,
ei siis pianoa ollenkaan
miksi siis edes sanoa
”minä soitan pianoa”?
No ehkäpä rakas kuulija
tämän laulun kertoja
ei kerrokaan itsestään
vaan heistä joille aikaa jää
Siispä laulun kertoja
soittaa pianoa
antaa joen tulvia
se on aina kaikkialla

He was lying half dead when the
men came down and then saw him there
they wanted to help but he
was beyond anyone´s mortal care
He said "I am a mere mortal going through
this portal temporally spaced out
dreaming of dying or being an immortal
chortling along the way
Falling pray to my selfish vices
driven by the greed to love
calling the fray, empty dices
that the changing chance offers us to play with"
Oh, they saw him go...
So they lifted, they lifted his worries down
down and out and about all around
they saw him go down and down he went
with sorrow and agony, sorrow and agony yeah
Oh, they saw him go
he was lighting out candles
before he went home
he went straight home
Bitterness is biting away
anger, frustration are here to stay
like your parents calling you home
when you have just started to play on your own
Burying your hands to the
plans that never were to be
regretting not a thing but always thinking
what it would be like to be free
But anything that comes, goes
fear not of carrying over your woes
your toes are firmly rooted to the hands of time
but soon the sands on your shoreline
will wash from the shore one last time

Falling in and out of comfort
what to call my home I don´t know
I feel like we´re going to make it
and other times I tell myself that
we already broke it, breaking it down
on down and all around oh God please
I don´t know how to say
how to help myself
Who to trust?
Do I let myself fall on
do I let myself fall on a crush?
a simple kind of crush that´s
the worst, the worst kind of love
But that´s all I have
right now, right here
nothing more don´t have the
strength to carry on any longer
Pretending I am happy
with my blunders
my blunders, oh God!
Somebody make me fall
make me fall asleep

Why would this ever end?
Let her go, let her go
let it flow through the snow
let the show begin when
the time is to grow
It´s a pity and a shame
that we all must go so
sad but the mad world
keeps us in hold
So cold so cold and
my thoughts are so old
when I think of life
as a vale or a fold
When the darkness prevails
let´s be bold and stay strong
if we think that our lives
in this world were all wrong
So the vale oh the
vale of life is thin
and the seeping thought
that you just cannot win
Vaivuttiin jo uneen
ennen aamun
koittaessa lumeen
kinokseen valoit haamun
Kasvot rakastuneen
allain maa mun
kielikin loi punoksen
kivun kudelmiksi saa mun
Mieli voipuneen
palaa taa
jos saan
vielä kerran rakastaa

In English "me" is a first person singular pronoun and is used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself as the object of a verb or preposition. Reversely, in Finnish "me" means "us", a first person plural, when someone refers to himself and at least one other person or other people. "Meme" is an element of a culture or a system of behaviour that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.
The intriguing linguistic juxtaposition, the homographic meanings of "me" eventually led to an entire album entitled Me(me), where all of the song titles are complementary homonyms, and can thus be understood both in English and in Finnish. Me(me) is my third self-produced home studio album. For almost three years I worked on these songs, the oldest ones being from the summer of 2008 and the latest ones springing to life this fall. The lyrics deal with dreams, burdensome times, grave losses, hope, depression, death and love.
The album is dedicated to Soila. <3
released December 24, 2010
Recording, mixing, mastering, lyrics, compositions & instruments by Jonas Saari, except on 1 & 8 the kantele played by Soila Kyyriäinen.
