The band recorded their first demo (named 'Weeper's Aeon') in 1998 and in a short time they had enough of a following to safely attempt a full-length album - 'Sweet Desire' - recorded in 1999, which later got the attention of Spinefarm Records and led to a professional contract. Their career truly began progressing after the release of the album 'Be My God' - from 2001 - which was issued as they went on a joint tour with the power metal band Edguy.

However, vocalist Tanya Kemppainen quit the band in 2002, leaving Lullacry without its main element. Many female singers applied for the post, but the then unknown Tanja Lainio ultimately stepped in and brought her lightly bitter contralto vocals along with her. Their following release was entitled Crucify My Heart. The single Don't Touch The Flame taken from this album included a cover of the Nine Inch Nails track ''Head Like A Hole''.

Prior to the record of a new full album the EP 'Fire Within' was released including alternative versions of two of the bands classics tracks, a W.A.S.P. cover, and two new tracks.

In June 2005 the band announced the completion of their fourth album entitled 'Vol. 4' which was released in September of that year and was proceeded by the single ''Stranger In You'' released in July and including a Kiss cover. After a long hiatus, Lullacry released their fifth studio album 'Where Angels Fear' in 2012.

They announced a split in 2014 following three farewell shows.

Tanja Lainio - Vocals
Sami Vauhkonen - Lead Guitar
Sauli Kivilahti - Guitar
Kimmo ''Heavy'' Hiltunen - Bass

NOTHING TO LOSE
Lullacry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You asked me why
I kept telling lies
I broke the rules
But I don't care 'cause I got nothing

You are the sun
I am the flame
I feel no shame

'Cause I got nothing

I got nothing to lose
Its the hardest thing to do
To see it coming over you
Never though I could break the rules

Now I got nothing to lose
Just move ahead
And don't look back
I won't be there

And I don't care 'cause I got nothing
You are the sun
I am the flame
And I got nothing

I got nothing to lose

The lyrics of Lullacry's song "Nothing to Lose" can be interpreted as someone who has many regrets and has repeatedly broken the rules in their life. The singer is asked why they constantly lie and break rules, but they do not care because they have nothing to lose. The singer acknowledges that they have made mistakes but accepts them without any shame. They relate this to their overall life and say that they do not have anything left to lose, which is the hardest thing to do.

They do not care about the past or the future because they have nothing.

The singer compares themselves to the sun and the flame- they are separate entities, and though they may work together, they are not the same. Similarly, the singer is different from the person they are addressing. The chorus repeats the phrase "I got nothing to lose," emphasizing the singer's sense of liberation from their past mistakes. The singer urges themselves to move forward without looking back, even if they may not be there in the future.

Overall, "Nothing to Lose" is about accepting past mistakes and moving on from them. The singer has faced many regrets, but they have reached a point in their life where they have nothing to lose by accepting their past and moving on.

Line by Line Meaning

You asked me why
You inquired about my behavior

I kept telling lies
I frequently fibbed

I broke the rules
I disobeyed the guidelines

But I don't care 'cause I got nothing
Yet, I have no concern for the consequences of my conduct

You are the sun
You are a radiant presence in my life

I am the flame
I am the one who is attracted and ignited by you

I feel no shame
I do not experience any guilt or regret

'Cause I got nothing
Because I have nothing significant to lose

I got nothing to lose
I am not afraid of losing anything

Its the hardest thing to do
It is the most difficult action to take

To see it coming over you
To witness its influence upon oneself

Never though I could break the rules
I never anticipated that I would deviate from the norm

Just move ahead
Just progress forward

And don't look back
And do not reminisce the past

I won't be there
I would not remain in a place or relationship that inhibits my freedom

And I don't care 'cause I got nothing
Furthermore, I do not give any importance to attachment which holds me back

And I got nothing
And all I have is a lack of attachment and fear of loss
