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

Dawn
Poets of the Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no fight and no flight, disaster leaves your passion overrun
It's time to let go, it's time to carry on with the show
Don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn
n' I will be standing by your side
Together we'll face the turning tide
Remembrance, can be a sentence, but it comes to you with a second chance in tow
Don't lose it, don't refuse it, 'cause you cannot learn a thing you think you know
A new light is warm, shining down on you after the storm
Don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn
n' I will be standing by your side
Together we'll face the turning tide
The song "Dawn" by Poets of the Fall is a powerful and uplifting message about dealing with life's struggles and finding the strength to move forward. The opening lines describe the feeling of everything you have built becoming undone and the overwhelming feeling of disaster that can leave your passion for life overrun. However, the chorus offers a message of hope and resilience, urging the listener to let go of what is gone and to greet the dawn of a new day.
In the second verse, the lyrics address the idea of remembrance as both a sentence and a second chance. It acknowledges that sometimes we hold onto things or beliefs that might not serve us well in moving forward, but that it is important to be open to new experiences and to learn from them. The final chorus reiterates the idea that no matter what the turning tide of life may bring, the singer will stand by the listener's side.
Overall, the song speaks to the human experience of struggling with adversity and learning to adapt and grow from those struggles. It offers a message of hope and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is a new light waiting to shine down.
