Odotus [English translation]
Dear Finland, I don't - I don't know what kind of a tomorrow is waiting for us
I have no idea
Dear Finland, I don't - I don't know anymore where we are going
Still I give my hand, I hope someone would accept it
We get buried into empty faces, we disappear into cold nights
We get buried into overwork and then go to sleep into small studios1
These calendars are always allegedly so full, but from the inside the head is more and more empty
So motherfucking2 intelligent phones make us even dumber here
This entire country is made from satan's3 props everyone is being tried to shoot to the ground
Only this has to get returned to the people4, are you ready to work your ass off until you're free
There are no room for martyrs
Lift your chin up off the ground already
We still have time to fix everything, the emperor didn't turn their thumb5
So just take one step
Just take another one after that
Hang on to me, suddenly pieces fall into place
I'm here to block if they try to make me trip, and I'll catch you if you fall
Together even deep scratches can be endured, tomorrow morning is brighter
I would like to show you the sun
Carry you away, behind a black curtain
You just have to let go
I would like to take you away
It's useless to wait that everything would be brought in front of you, by living you won't get a full board
My eyes look straight ahead
Yea, pockets full of hope
Still there are too many two-faced people and double standards
Nothing else matters, as long as your own stall is clean6
They won't stay by my side, you have to think of others as well
To keep afloat you need to be able to swim as well
Sometimes we are kings, sometimes even by bones7
It's useless to try to fool the cheater
But for you I'll always stay authentic
Sometimes even clowns' tears are real
Däni8 why do you always have to screw up, it's like climbing barbed wires
The two of us are just the creator's9 own, in this company we're like outlaws
When you're lost on the field, I can bring you home, homie
With you I see tomorrow, leading the way
So pedal to the metal still, take the wheel and look up
And I trust that someone is guiding there
I would like to show you the sun
Carry you away, behind a black curtain
You just have to let go
I would like to take you away
I would like to show you the sun
Carry you away, behind a black curtain
You just have to let go
I would like to take you away
1. studio as in one room apartment, small apartment2. madafakin is a direct quotation loan word from the English "motherfucking", used in some rap songs3. very widely used word when cursing in Finnish, doesn't literally refer to Satan4. people of a nation5. most likely referencing a Roman emperor who decided if someone should die by showing thumbs up or down6. karsina literally means the pen or the enclosure of farm animals, basically this means that you don't care about anyone else as long as you are doing well yourself7. I am not sure what they mean by this8. Uniikki's real name is Dan, and in Finnish it can be said as Däni9. luoja is literally a creator but it's also a word often used when talked about god
