Group members were Petri "Pete" Walli (guitar, vocals), Jukka Jylli (bass) and Sami Kuoppamäki (drums, percussion).
During their existence, Kingston Wall released only three self-financed albums on their own label, Trinity. The albums were Kingston Wall (also known as I) in 1992, II in 1993 and Tri-Logy in 1994.
The group was disbanded by Petri Walli in December 1994. Walli went travelling to India and Norway. The definite end for Kingston Wall came on June 28th 1995 when Walli jumped to his death from a church tower in Helsinki.
After the band's demise, the three Kingston Wall albums have been re-issued as double CD's with bonus tracks by Zen Garden record label (Finland). In 2000, a remix album titled Freakout Remixes was released, which featured trance/techno remixes of Kingston Wall songs by Finnish electronica artists, and in autumn 2005 a 3-disc set titled Real Live Thing was released, which featured live bootlegs from various live shows, available now for the first time ever.

Kingston Wall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trilogy
Stuldt Håjt (8: 59)
As the round comes to an end we go around it
again till we've got no need to pretend
you'll find an endless space in there and it's in
every word you say
still the main things to be aware of
STULDT HÅJT
If seriousness comes along
there is always for you this song
to take you back as you're going wrong
If we cannot move I'm sure
it's because it's all so new
It's because it's all so new
and still the oldest just new for you
"The finnish mythology includes a masterkey to the
understanding of the uni-verse and all myths:
The ALPHABET:
A system of 29 sounds with own meanings based on
the ROT (root)-language, the first language
in his story of mankind.
But as it's completely rational, don't forget
STULDT HÅJT"
The lyrics of "Stuldt Håjt" by Kingston Wall seem to be about the cyclical nature of life and the search for a deeper meaning. The first stanza describes going around in circles until there is no need to pretend anymore. The singer then speaks about finding an endless space within every word said. The chorus offers a sort of escape from the seriousness of life, with the lines "If seriousness comes along, there is always for you this song, to take you back as you're going wrong." The singer acknowledges that life can be overwhelming and confusing (perhaps due to the newness of experience), but emphasizes the importance of not losing sight of the root language and the masterkey to the understanding of the universe.
The reference to Finnish mythology and the alphabet suggests that the song may also be about the power of language and the importance of maintaining a connection to one's cultural roots. The STULDT HÅJT line may be a reminder not to get too caught up in the rational, analytical side of language; instead, perhaps one should turn to the more mystical and intuitive aspects of the alphabet.
Overall, "Stuldt Håjt" is a lyrically dense and thought-provoking song that brings together themes of circularity, language, and mythology. The song seems to offer a sense of comfort and escape from the seriousness of life, while also reminding the listener of the importance of staying grounded and connected to cultural roots.

Once the cycle of life comes to a close, we repeat it until there is no longer a need for pretense. There is infinite possibility within this cycle, present in everything we say. However, we must be mindful of the most important aspects.
If seriousness comes along
there is always for you this song
to take you back as you're going wrong
If we cannot move I'm sure
it's because it's all so new
When life gets too heavy, there is always an escape in music. This song can guide you back on track whenever you get lost. If we feel stuck, it's only because we're experiencing something brand new.
It's because it's all so new
and still the oldest just new for you
Even though these experiences are new for you, they are also the oldest experiences there are. They have existed long before you and will continue to exist after you.

Finnish mythology contains a key to understanding the universe and all myths: the alphabet. This system of 29 sounds has its own meanings based on the root language, which is believed to be the first language in human history. However, even with this logical explanation, we must not forget to embrace the irrational and mysterious aspects of life, represented by the phrase 'Stuldt Håjt.'
