The band started touring and went through some line up changes. The new line up including Sammy, Eliaz, Jari, Spit and Illy recorded a 5-song promo-CD which got quite nice response, especially from outside of Finland. Despite of the good reception of the Promo-CD, the year 2001 was uncertain time for the band Jari left the band and joined Finnish metal kings Timo Rautiainen ja Trio Niskalaukaus and Sammy moved to Helsinki Rock City and was soon after followed by the rest of the band. In the beginning of 2002 Sammy bumped into Jack (ex- Palmcut) while exploring the nightlife of Helsinki and they decided to join their forces and breathe new life into Private Line.
The band started intense rehearsing period and went on to record new kick ass material. In December 2002 Private Line released a new Mini-CD Six Songs Of Hellcity Trendkill (released by Bad Habits/ Kråklund Records). The Mini-CD got rave reviews from the Finnish rock media and also many international print and webzines were enthusiastic about these Finnish newcomers. The band did a 40-show tour in Finland and created a fanatic fanbase. Private Line's loud as f**k mix of 80's sleaze and early 90's alternative punk was now starting to make bigger and bigger waves. The lead singer Sammy`s vocals, stage presence and showmanship was more than often compared to the likes of Vince Neil (Mötley Crüe) and Sebastian Bach (Skid Row).

Anyway
Private Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wouldn't care if the sky fell down on me
The tide has turned, what did I learn?
I burned out but somehow did survive
Felt weak, yet I stayed alive
Now I find it so damn hard to keep on breathing
And I find it so damn hard to make it through to the other side
The world has brought me down
And she said, "Anyway," she said, "Anyway."
I couldn't find what I have been searching
I couldn't bear such a burden in my hand
Made a U-turn, there's no return
Deserve another chance to try
Or is it all just a waste of time?
Now I find it so damn hard to keep on breathing
And I find it so damn hard to make it through to the other side
Still every time I try to change
The world has brought me down
And she said, "Anyway," she said, "Anyway."
Don't say you made your choice for me
Say you made it for yourself
Don't say you made your choice for me
Say you made it for yourself
Don't say you made your choice for me
Say you made it for yourself
Don't say you made your choice for me
Now I find it so damn hard to keep on breathing
And I find it so damn hard to make it through to the other side
Still, every time I try to change
The world has brought me down
And she said, "Anyway," she said, "Anyway."
Don't say you made your choice for me
It's so hard
Say you made it for yourself
To keep on breathing
Don't say you made your choice for me
Every time I try
Say you made it for yourself
Still, every time I try to change
The world has brought me down
And she said, "Anyway," she said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
"Anyway" by Private Line is a song that portrays a struggle with disappointment and disillusionment in life. The singer expresses that they wouldn't mind dying or the world falling apart on them because they've survived through tough times before. However, it has become harder to keep going, and they feel like changing themselves just leads to more failure. They couldn't find what they were searching for and made a U-turn, but they still hope they can try again. The lyrics also touch on the idea of agency, that the singer wants others to make their own choices and not blame them. Despite all the hardships, the repeated phrase "she said, 'Anyway,'" is a reminder that the singer is still trying to keep going, even if the world keeps bringing them down.

I wouldn't mind if I were to die this morning
I don't care about living anymore
I wouldn't care if the sky fell down on me
I am indifferent to everything
The tide has turned, what did I learn?
I've been through tough times, but what have I gained?
I burned out but somehow did survive
I've been through a lot and yet I'm still here
Felt weak, yet I stayed alive
I've been vulnerable but I managed to keep going
Now I find it so damn hard to keep on breathing
Life has become unbearable for me
And I find it so damn hard to make it through to the other side
I can't find my way out of this darkness
Still every time I've tried to change
The world has brought me down
Whenever I've tried to improve my situation, I've faced obstacles
And she said, "Anyway," she said, "Anyway."
Despite the difficulties, she encouraged me to keep going
I couldn't find what I have been searching
I couldn't find what I was looking for in life
I couldn't bear such a burden in my hand
I was overwhelmed with the challenges I faced
Made a U-turn, there's no return
Deserve another chance to try
Or is it all just a waste of time?
I've changed my approach, but I don't know if there's any point
Don't say you made your choice for me
Say you made it for yourself
Don't blame me for your decisions, own up to them
Now I find it so damn hard to keep on breathing
And I find it so damn hard to make it through to the other side
Still every time I try to change
The world has brought me down
And she said, "Anyway," she said, "Anyway."
I'm struggling and faced with difficulties as usual, but her words of encouragement remain with me
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
She said, "Anyway."
Her words of encouragement are repeated and resonate with me
