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

Poets of the Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like something is falling apart
You say you can't hold it together much longer
And I should look after your heart
But I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
And it's bending your will like a willow tree twisting
How does it make you feel
When you remember the times the two us lay here
In the arms of the world on the doorstep of heaven shining down
Do you feel a change coming on,
Rolling out of the blue like a storm,
And it's throwing your dollhouse world in disarray
So you can rebuild or conform
How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you
My worth is the look in your eyes
My prize the smile playing tricks on your lips and I wonder again
Do you ever dream of the world like I do
I too fear the change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Can you hear it scream at the hurt that I knew
How I wish you'd only see
What is this chill at my heel
That makes the protections I've built around my pseudo world premiere
Tearing my utopian fiction apart as it happens to just pass along
I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Crashing against my delirious thoughts where humanity's waiting alone
How I wish you'd only see
The lyrics of Poets of the Fall's "Change" portray a sense of impending upheaval and transformation in the lives of the two individuals in the song. The opening lines depict one of them confessing to feeling a chill in the season, indicating a sense of discomfort and unease. The person also expresses their vulnerability and dependence, urging the other to take care of their heart. However, the singer senses a change coming on, described as a storm that is bending and twisting the will of the person in distress. The change is also said to bring disarray to the person's world, giving them an opportunity to rebuild or conform. The chorus reflects on the memories of the two individuals and asks if they too sense the impending change.
The second verse further explores the idea of personal choices and how they affect one's dreams. The singer wishes that the person in distress could see how their choices could make their dreams come true. The bridge of the song talks about the singer's own fears of the change that's coming and how it threatens their utopian fantasy. It concludes with a plea for the person in distress to see that change in life is inevitable, but it offers opportunities for growth and a chance to achieve their dreams.
