1. Apulanta (Fertilizer in English) is a Finnish rock band, founded in 1991 when members of the band were in their mid-teens. The name of the band means fertilizer, which they have since come to regret. Initially playing hardcore punk and hard rock, they soon shifted to a pop-rock style, and have been fluctuating between these extremes since; their songs currently tend to combine melodic and catchy choruses with heavy guitar riffs.
They have consistently topped the Finnish charts for almost ten years, and they continue to be one of the most successful rock bands in Finland. "Teit meistä kauniin" is one of the all-time biggest-selling singles in Finland. As of November 2005, 15 of their singles and 8 albums have reached the #1 spot on the Finnish charts.
Founding member Tuukka Temonen parted from the band year 2005 And they decided to take
Sami "Parta-Sami" Lehtinen as a full member to the band.
The band currently consists of founding members Toni Wirtanen, Simo "Sipe" Santapukki and the newest addon Ville Mäkinen.

2. The first Apulanta, was a hardcore band from Tampere. Their only release was a hardcore/noise version of a gospel song "Pekka Oli Kalamies". and it appeared on a compilation Työläisten Kontrolli (1981). This tape is very rare. Less than 100 copies exist.

Minä tahdon ulos
Tahdon ulos kattilasta
Minä tahdon pelastaa vielä
Sinutkin kiehumasta
Minä tahdon lentää ulos
Vessan ikkunasta
Minä tahdon tietää kaiken
Teidän karkkimaasta

Minähän olen sellainen
Joka pahankin karkoittaa

Mato

Olen nähnyt mustarastaan
Lastenhuoneen yllä
Toiminta helpottuu taas
Viimeistään syksyllä
Jee jee jee jee voisinkin

Mennä tästä uimaan
Minä kierrän ympyrää
Ja se saa mut rauhottumaan
Minähän olen sellainen
Joka rahankin karkoittaa

Minä poraan reikää ja
Teen viivaa järven pintaan

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Mato" by Apulanta express a desire to escape from a situation that is boiling and suffocating. The first verse talks about wanting to get out of a pot, presumably one that is boiling and dangerous. The singer also wants to save others from boiling in the pot, perhaps metaphorically meaning saving others from a dangerous situation. The desire for escape is further expressed in wanting to fly out of a window and know everything about a candy land. The chorus, "Mato" (worm in English), doesn't quite fit with the rest of the verses in terms of meaning, but it adds to the overall feeling of wanting to escape and burrow into the ground like a worm.

The second verse shifts focus to nature, with the singer seeing a blackbird above a children's room and finding comfort in the thought that things will get better in the fall. Swimming and making lines on the surface of a lake are mentioned, perhaps as further symbols of wanting to escape and find peace. The final line of the song, "Joka rahankin karkoittaa" (who even drives away money), suggests that the singer has a rebellious, anti-materialistic attitude.

Overall, the lyrics of "Mato" convey a feeling of suffocation, danger, and a desire for escape. The various images and symbols used in the song add to the sense of wanting to break free from a difficult situation and find peace.
