With their latest release "Tarassis", dEMOTIONAL has proven themselves as a solid six-man-army worthy that place. dEMOTIONAL has become notorious for their energetic live shows and their way of combining modern guitar riffs and the two singers vocals. "Tarassis" is recorded, mixed & produced at Studio PH" by Pontus Hjelm (Dead By April), and it is the product of a young metalband that are experimenting with different genres and tempos, though at the same time keeping their distinctive sound that made them so popular. Just like the album "State: In Denial", the new album "Tarassis" went straight in to the national album chart. After spending a big amount of their time in 2014 writing new material and recording the new album, 2015 dEMOTIONAL successfully headed out as main support to Dead By April on "The Stronger Tour all over Europe.

Demotional Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There has been sorrow caused by my mistakes
But when the ground is shaking and the walls are caving in I'm the man to follow
It's time to testify I've had a thorn in my side all my life
Even though I've always kept moving on I've been frowned upon
There's only so much a man can take and I think that I'm about to break
Well I'm not proud about decisions I have made
There has been sorrow caused by my mistakes
(The man to follow)
Bruised, tears, corrision and pain
Defining me, it's time to repay
Give me one good reason to fight
I'd like to see you make it on your own
I don't even want this throne
Well I'm not proud about decisions I have made
There has been sorrow caused by my mistakes
But when the ground is shaking and the walls are caving in I'm the man to follow
(The man to follow)
Well I'm not proud about decisions I have made
There has been sorrow caused by my mistakes
But when the ground is shaking and the walls are caving in I'm the man to follow
(The man to follow)
(A man to follow)
(A man to follow)
I don't have to defend a thing that I've done
Silent virtue, an unsustainable order has begun
Why me of everyone?
Well I'm not proud about decisions I have made
There has been sorrow caused by my mistakes
But when the ground is shaking and the walls are caving in I'm the man to follow

In Demotional's song Follow, the lyrics talk about accepting one's mistakes and taking responsibility for them. The singer admits that he is not proud of the decisions he has made and the mistakes he has caused, which have brought sorrow. However, he is also aware that he is the person to follow when the situation is dire. When the ground is shaking and the walls are caving in, he is the one who can lead and show the way.
The song also touches upon the idea of suffering and the consequences of one's actions. The singer has had a thorn in his side all his life, but he has always kept moving despite being frowned upon. But there is a limit to a man's endurance, and he feels he is about to break. The bruises, tears, corrosion, and pain have defined him, and it is time to repay. He challenges his detractors to give him one good reason to fight and asserts that he does not even want the throne.
The lyrics also hint at a sense of injustice the singer feels. He does not have to defend everything he has done, but he knows that an unsustainable order has begun. He wonders why he has to bear the brunt of it all when there are so many others to choose from. Despite all this, he also realizes that when the ground is shaking, and the walls are caving in, he is the man to follow.
