in Spring `02. I was… Read Full Bio ↴The idea of forming my ”own” band started somewhere
in Spring `02. I was helping one of my friend to get
his musical career back to its course and I offered him
a song I made to the Burning Point ( but I guess that
the other guys in BP didn`t share my enthusiasm towards
that song so it was kind of “left“ over...).
Back then I was in the middle of the Feeding the Flames
recording sessions so I kind of “forgot “ the whole thing
and the next time I saw my friend he told that they had
enough songs of their own already so...
the song was “left” over again...
that poor thing was Temples of Gold.
Then it hit me , there was not going to be the third time...
I contacted one my friend who was the guitar player in
one of my hometown bands and we started demoing couple of
my songs…But suddenly he had his handfull of other “projects”
so that one died right there...
Totally frustrated of that situation I finally called
Tapsa and Jussi in the end of the year `02.
After about 5 rehearsals we had something like
12 “new “ songs...
The word new is used very cautiously here because few of
these songs I`ve made years ago...
But I have “modernized” or “ up to date”
them a little bit so they sound very new,
even to me! Finally in Spring `03 we had our first
demo cd ready ( called , Ghosts in the Castle)
and I started sending it all over the world.
After a few negotiations of some of the record labels
we decided to make a record deal with Sound Riot Records,
I guess that mainly because they share the
same enthusiasm towards our music as we did...
So here we are!!!

World of Unbelievers
Ghost Machinery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost and confused with no hope of tomorrow
Stranger to all like a thief in the night
Chosen to be on your own
There is no reflection in the mirror of your time
Innocence born wiped away your past life
Sky's turned to black there's no signs of light
You tried your wings
And they got badly burned
Where's the missing link
Who's voice can't be heard
Into the world of unbelievers
You are bound to crash and burn
Heart in this world of unbelievers
Your voice can't be heard
Surrounded by insanity and cruelty
This train of madness you got fooled in
Stranger to all like a thief in the night
Chosen to be on your own
You tried your wings
And they got badly burned
Where's the missing link
Who's voice can't be heard
Into the world of unbelievers
You are bound to crash and burn
Heart in this world of unbelievers
Your voice can't be heard
The lyrics to Ghost Machinery's song "World of Unbelievers" paint a picture of isolation, despair, and hopelessness. The opening lines depict a person who feels trapped in a life full of sorrow with no prospects for a better tomorrow. They are like a stranger to others, and their loneliness is palpable. The line "chosen to be on your own" speaks to the idea that this person feels like they have no other choice but to be alone.
The second verse adds to the despair, with imagery of a life devoid of any positivity. The phrase "no reflection in the mirror of your time" suggests that this person feels as if they have no identity or place in the world. The line "and all the hearts turn to stone" implies that even those around them have become desensitized to their plight, and there is little hope for human connection.
The chorus reinforces the central theme of the song: that in a world of unbelievers, this person's voice cannot be heard. They have tried to spread their wings and make a change, but they have only been met with failure and disappointment. The final verse brings the song full circle, with the singer feeling lost in a train of madness and surrounded by cruelty.
Overall, "World of Unbelievers" is a poignant song that speaks to the human experience of feeling disconnected and alone. The lyrics offer a raw and honest look at the struggles that come with trying to be heard and make a difference in a world that feels like it is constantly trying to extinguish your light.
