The name, Poets of the Fall, comes from the idea that two opposites form a whole, ie. there isn't one without the other. "Poets" here represent the positive side and "the Fall" the negative. Of course, when you join these two concepts, the "Poets" starts to sound just a tad mischievious as well... depends, of course, on how you perceive "the Fall". You might see it as a beautiful crisp season and the "Poets" are its insightful architects...
Among many others, the trio has received the following awards:
* Best Finnish Act at MTV Europe Music Awards 2006
* Best Finnish Music Video of all time in TV2's Musiikki-TV; two bronze Muuvi Awards and Best Music Video of 2006 at The Voice (video Carnival of Rust)
* Two Emma Awards (the Finnish Grammys) in 2005 - the best debut album and the best new act
* Best Finnish band at the NRJ Radio Awards 2006
* Commercial Radio Stations' Newcomer of the Year Award in 2005
The official website of the band is www.poetsofthefall.com.

Poets of the Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of your savior
In your hour of need
And taste the blame
If the flavor should remind you of greed
Of implication, insinuation and you will
'Til you cannot lie still
In all this turmoil, before red cave and foil
Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
It's all a game
Avoiding failure
When true colors will bleed
All in the name
Of misbehavior
And the things we don't need
I lust for after no disaster can touch
Touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall
Where enough is not the same it was before
Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Yeah feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love,
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Ooh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Ooh, when the heart is yearning
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Ooh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Ooh, when the heart is yearning
The song Carnival of Rust by Poets of the Fall paints a picture of a tumultuous relationship that has left the singer feeling jaded and disillusioned. The opening lyrics talk of turning to a savior in times of need, but also acknowledging the bitter taste of blame that comes with it. The interplay of power dynamics is suggested through the imagery of "implication, insinuation," and the sense that there is always someone waiting to pounce, as represented by the metaphor of the "red cave and foil" closing in for the kill.
The chorus brings in the idea of rain as a symbol of love and the desire to be fed by it, to quench a thirst that is unfulfilled. The tone shifts to one of desperation as the singer confesses that without this love, their life is nothing but a "carnival of rust." The second verse touches on the societal pressure to avoid failure, even though true colors will inevitably come out in the end. The lines "I lust for after no disaster can touch / Touch us anymore" suggest a desire for stability and security in a relationship, but the hope that the past will not repeat itself.
Overall, the lyrics reveal a longing for connection and love, but also an awareness of the dangers that come with it. The carnival setting adds to the sense of chaos and unpredictability, a reflection of the emotional landscape being described.
Line by Line Meaning
To breathe the name
To call out for help from someone you believe can save you
Of your savior
Of the person you turn to in times of crisis
In your hour of need
When you are facing a difficult situation and require assistance
And taste the blame
To accept responsibility for any wrongdoing
If the flavor should remind you of greed
If the act of accepting blame is done only to benefit oneself
Of implication, insinuation and you will
Playing a game of hinting at something instead of being direct
'Til you cannot lie still
Continuing to play games until the truth comes out
In all this turmoil, before red cave and foil
Not facing reality until it is too late
Come closing in for a kill
When consequences or negative outcomes become inevitable
Come feed the rain
To seek out love and emotional fulfillment
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
That love is a necessary source of sustenance
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
To engage in passionate experiences with someone you love
Yeah feed the rain
To continue seeking love and fulfillment
'Cause without your love, my life
Without love and emotional fulfillment, life becomes meaningless
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
A person's life becomes nothing more than a rundown circus or spectacle
It's all a game
Life is often seen as a game where you must succeed or fail
Avoiding failure
Trying to avoid making mistakes or experiencing negative outcomes
When true colors will bleed
When a person's true intentions or motives will be revealed
All in the name
People will use any justification to achieve their goals
Of misbehavior
Engaging in negative or harmful actions
And the things we don't need
Engaging in activities that are not actually necessary for one's wellbeing
I lust for after no disaster can touch
Seeking out a love that is immune to negative outcomes
Touch us anymore
A love that will not hurt us or impact us negatively
And more than ever, I hope to never fall
The desire to avoid heartbreak or negative experiences
Where enough is not the same it was before
Where the previous level of satisfaction is no longer sufficient
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Urging someone not to leave
Ooh, when the world is burning
In moments of crisis
Ooh, when the heart is yearning
When the desire for love and emotional fulfillment is strong

LYRICS
D'you breathe the name of your saviour
In your hour of need?
And taste the blame if the flavor
Should remind you of greed
Of implication, insinuation, and ill-will
'Til you cannot lie still
In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil
Come closing in for a kill
Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust, oh
It's all a game, avoiding failure
When true colors will bleed
All in the name of misbehavior
And the things we don't need
I lust for after, no disaster can touch
Touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall
Where enough is not the same it was before
Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust (carnival of rust)
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning
