KARELIA LYRICS

1. Restless

I wake up before morning light
Put on my shoes and tiptoe until I’m outside
Silence and dark all around
I just hear my steps while starin’ at the frost on the ground

[Chorus:]
A lifetime on the assembly line
Restless, restless
Wrenchin’ pieces of human rights
Restless, restless
I wake up before morning light
Just like yesterday and tiptoe until I’m outside
Silence, dark n’ frost on the ground
Am I really bend my steps towards the workin’ town?

[Chorus]

Monday: assembly line
Tuesday, it drains my strength
Wednesday, I just feel the void, go on...
Thursday: assembly line, restless
Friday, I go crazy my brain’s startin’ to faint away
Saturday, I lost my soul...
... Sunday at last....

[Chorus]

2. Trial

The whole truth, who can tell?
I raise my hand and swear
(Stick to the facts, stick to the facts!)

[Chorus:]
I never slap her down, never shout at her
Never have a grudge, calm down, understand
Tolerant and stuff
I never beat for fun, your honour
I was such a cunt
(Stick to the facts, stick to the facts!)
This trial does not make sense
The whole thing is a farce
(Stick to the facts, stick to the facts!)

[Chorus]

She was blind drunk, you know the kind
I had no choice but to strike, beat her to death
She can go to hell for all I care
Your honour I’m not to blame, it’s only right...

[Chorus]

3. Mirror Mirror

I’ve sensed the end for several weeks
You’re right: you’d better leave me now
Be sure I’ll call you a bitch
As soon as you’ll close the door
My lil’ honey

[Chorus:]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror tell me how
Could I get better and reach full growth
How could I get through the thorns
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Have you ever seen a pawn?
Full of regrets, pain n’ groans
Keepin’ all for his very own
My friends will prove me right, and yours
Will always be siding with you
Be sure you’ll shake your hips with lust
When I’ll be rolling about in dirt

[Chorus]

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Did I deserve such a whore?
Would I resolve the doubt with a... BANG

[Chorus]

4. Lift Me Up

[Moby cover]

Plain talking (plain talking)
Take us so far (take us so far)
Broken down cars (broken down cars)
Like strung-out old stars (like strung-out old stars)

Plain talking (plain talking)
Served us so well (served us so well)
Travelled through hell (travelled trough hell)
We know how it felt (we know how it felt)

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Plain talking (plain talking)
Making us bold (making us bold)
So strong out and cold (so strong out and cold)
Feeling so old (feeling so old)

Plain talking (plain talking)
Has ruined us now (has ruined us now)
You never know how (you never know how)
Sweeter than thou (sweeter than thou)

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
[4x]

Lift me up, lift me up
Ohla la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Ohla la la la
[4x]

5. Please Come On In

You break my balls
Seekin’ the truth wantin’ to know
Sit down n’ don’t ask me any question by now
Just let me take you to a trip inside my brain
Please fasten seatbelt you’ll know the story to the end
Twist of fate (so unfair)

[Chorus:]
Please come on in, pay no attention to the stains
Please let me show you through my brain,
It’s a kind of Disneyland
Please take a look to my complete set of remains
Please watch your step, don’t trip against
The creepy memories and blanks
It’s funny place, do you enjoy the trip my friend?
Hang on: star attraction of the walk
Just let me take you to a trip inside my brain
Please fasten seatbelt you’ll
know the story to the end
Twist of fate (so unfair)

[Chorus]

Here we are: the far end
If you feel like it my friend, open the door
Open the door my friend
(Come on sweetie, stay on my knee
... isn’t that funny? [sniggering])

[Chorus]

Did you enjoy the trip my friend?
(so unfair)
You know the story to the end
(so unfair)

6. Lovin' Wife

Look at you, crawlin’ on the floor
Look at you, cryin’ your eyes out
Do you still want to show off now?
Do you still want to pack your bags?
Remember the words from that guy:
“For better or for worse”, then try
You got to love me until I die
You got to be always on my side

[Chorus:]
Forgive me lovin’ wife
‘Til the end, we’re tied
I gashed you to my lasting shame
But realize you’re the one to blame
Anything you say happens to make me mad
I’m not such a violent man

[Chorus]

Please honey, don’t go
Please don’t leave me
Don’t leave me now
Don’t refuse or it’ll be the last straw
I’m gonna smack you just for show
Cause I kept myself in a cage
Silently wound up n’ filled with rage
I’ve tried to call you on the phone
Nobody back there nobody home
Do it again and I swear my dear
Dirty blood will pour from your nose
... Once again

[Chorus]

7. Crash

I got the courage to fuck with hell
Goin’ through the gears I rave
It’s blowing hard through the windows
And through my mind
All around scenery’s flashing by
Nothing left but wind in the sails
Nothing left but white rage under the veil

[Chorus:]
To crash, cleaning up from stains
To crash my way through the pain
My engine’s roaring, wheel’s going mad
Takin’ me far away, miles away
Empty bottles clinkin’ under the seats
I’m gettin’ high but who even cares?
I’d rather let it beyond any control

[Chorus]

As a crazy falcon divin’ onto its prey
As an idiotic Christ, laughing while people pray
As the dashboard covered with blood
Right in front of me

[Chorus]

A new road’s open, better this way
Winds are calming down, silence at once

8. Give It Away

Please give it away, confess once for all
Good pretending but useless to lie,
Understanding as I’m burnin’ inside
Please give it away, from who was that call?
Is he well-built, brighter than I am?
Did he touch you, have you been at bed?

[Chorus:]
Please give it away, and bring me down
Bring me down it’s only right
Please give it away, is he slim n’ tall?
Is he well-built, brighter than I am?
Did he touch you, have you been at bed?
If you tell me there’s another guy / If you tell me that you’d like to try
If you tell me that I’m not the first: If you recognized you did me dirt
If you let me see under the couch
Hidden here, hidden there, back in the wardrobe
I see that you’re scared but you’re lying
Don’t try to fuck around
I see clear and if I’m right
I’m sure I’ll lose my grip
Without you, fuckin’ slut, life doesn’t make any sense
I’ll kill myself

[Chorus]

9. From My Window

Look at that jerk hangin’ on his phone
Look at that gay, ridiculous he’s roaming around
Look at that junkie with exhausted veins
Look at the nigger, released n’ free from his chains
Look at that mess, look at all these stains

[Chorus:]
Lookin’ down from my window to the square
I enjoy the wally’s fair
I’d like to join them but I don’t even dare
Look at that bitch, showin’ off her tits
I’m gonna grab her ass n’ fuck until I break her hips
Look at her man, proud as a peacock, shinin’ bright
Look at their outward bliss
The way they display simple smile
From here I see any kind of crap

[Chorus]

I won’t rise to fame nor catch the girls
I’m out of touch, don’t play the game
I withdraw to new positions
... The foetal one in such a case

[Chorus]

10. Losing My Religion

[R.E.M. cover]

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
