With a video announcement to YouTube, the group revised their identity in 2015, and updated their name to Ember Falls with this message: “In short, Mekanism is no more. From this day forward, we will be known by the name EMBER FALLS. With the introduction of Tuomas into our family, we feel this name change is necessary to properly reflect the sense of newness present within the band: a new vision, a new sound and a new chapter in our story.”
Shortly before the debut of their first album, they released the first single titled “The Cost of Doing Business” in the form of a lyric music video in December 2016. With the name change, a new composition and a hit single “Shut Down With Me” were released, after which the band signed a worldwide record deal with Spinefarm Records. Ember Falls‘ debut album “Welcome to Ember Falls“ was released in February 2017.
The band credits their sound influence to both melodic metal, pop music, and electronic music.
Rising Tide
Ember Falls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've gone a long way from home
I wish we could stay
Stay to breathe life into this
Barren soil, dear
The ship has sailed
Whatever you need, whatever you long for
Show you how we could rise
Whatever it takes to sail the Rising Tide
We've gone a long way
We've gone a long way from home
But we've never been so far away and lost from shore
We've gone a long way
I wish we could stay
Find the reason why we're at the break of day
My blood will wash away
If we can't end the shadow play
Whatever you need, whatever you long for
Believe me, this is my song to
Show you how we could rise
Whatever it takes to sail the Rising Tide
Rising Tide
By your side
Cold, we're naked and torn
We are spinning in the eye of the storm
But still holding on
Cold, naked and torn
We are spinning in the eye of the storm
But still holding on (I'm holding on)
Whatever you need, whatever you long for
Believe me, this is my song to
Show you how we could rise
Whatever it takes to sail the Rising Tide
Rising Tide
By your side
"Rising Tide" by Ember Falls describes a journey away from home - the singer wishes they could stay to bring life to barren soil. The ship has sailed, and they are lost at sea, but the singer is still holding on. They implore the listener to believe that they can rise and sail the Rising Tide, no matter what it takes. The storm is raging fiercely, but the singer promises to be by the side of the person they are talking to, no matter what.
The lyrics of this song touch on themes of perseverance and trust, as well as a sense of displacement and longing for home. The "Rising Tide" could represent a variety of things, such as the general tumult of life, the drive to succeed, or even the inevitability of change.

We've gone a long way
We have come a great distance
We've gone a long way from home
We are far from where we began
I wish we could stay
I desire to remain in this place
Stay to breathe life into this Barren soil, dear
Remain to bring vitality to this lifeless ground
The ship has sailed
Our opportunity has passed
Whatever you need, whatever you long for
I will provide all that you seek
Believe me, this is my song to
Have faith in me, this is my message
Show you how we could rise
Demonstrate how to succeed
Whatever it takes to sail the Rising Tide
We will do what is necessary to advance
But we've never been so far away and lost from shore
We are far from familiar territory and directionless
Find the reason why we're at the break of day
Discover the cause for beginning anew
My blood will wash away
I will sacrifice myself
If we can't end the shadow play
Unless we stop these deceptive games
Cold, we're naked and torn
We are exposed and damaged
We are spinning in the eye of the storm
We are in the center of tumultuous events
But still holding on
Nevertheless, we persist
Rising Tide
The unstoppable momentum of progress
By your side
I am here for you

@geisterfurz007
One of the best suggestions I ever got on Spotify! Fell in love with this band in an instant - keep it up!
@dennisjensen3418
Exactly what happened to me xD
Seems like an completely underrated band to me.
@1SilverLeaves1
This is the best track on the album hands down, the "Cold, naked and torn..." passage comes with an insane melody.
@simplemods
the second chorus we never knew we need it
@LorcanWard
I've listened to the new album 3 times this morning. Its amazing and one of the best albums I've heard in years. They really outdid themselves on this one. Love the vocals and the guitar solos are insane. Everything is so well thought out.
@anttisaaristo
Could not agree more! Lit af
@samuelrampi7297
