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...

* Best Finnish Act at MTV Europe Music Awards 2006

Heal My Wounds
Poets of the Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One wrong word and it all may come crashing down
For the fates are devious by heart
They envy you your dreams, so they'll let you drown
And there is no why, there is no how, it's like the sky, just one free flow
But you're here right now, and this is your show, so take a bow, cos the show is on right...
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
No-one else can heal your wounds
Once again taboo becomes your law
What you want seems taken by another tide turning
Away from our flower field where we used to lay beneath the sky,
Riding dreams to some other side
Do they burn, the wishes whispered, like secrets, they yearn, just to be heard
I'm done with questions, I have no answers, the choice is yours, cos the show is on right
Here and now
The bigger the lies
The more they want to believe them
And like a vice
Hold on to what they believe in
Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
No-one else can heal your wounds
Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down cos I need you to rise
No-one else can heal my wounds

I burn to make you understand
I am passionate about making you comprehend
One wrong word and it all may come crashing down
A single misstep could lead to complete failure
For the fates are devious by heart
Destiny is cruel and unpredictable
They envy you your dreams, so they'll let you drown
Fate resents your aspirations and will not help you achieve them
And there is no why, there is no how, it's like the sky, just one free flow
Life has no clear explanation or formula, it's an unencumbered force like the sky
But you're here right now, and this is your show, so take a bow, cos the show is on right...
The present moment is yours to command, so enjoy the spotlight
Here and now with all dreams realized
In this moment, all of your aspirations have come true
Would you choose still more time to do
Given the chance, would you continue pursuing your goals?
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
Don't give up when it's time to stand up and fight again
No-one else can heal your wounds
Only you can recover from the pain you are experiencing
Once again taboo becomes your law
Forbidden desires once again control your life
What you want seems taken by another tide turning
The things you desire seem out of reach and beyond your control
Away from our flower field where we used to lay beneath the sky,
Our past happy memories in the flower field are now gone
Riding dreams to some other side
We used to dream big, but now our dreams have taken us elsewhere
Do they burn, the wishes whispered, like secrets, they yearn, just to be heard
Our quiet yearnings and whispered desires burn within us to be acknowledged
I'm done with questions, I have no answers, the choice is yours, cos the show is on right
I have no further explanations or solutions, the next move is all yours
The bigger the lies, the more they want to believe them
People are more likely to cling to bigger falsehoods
And like a vice, hold on to what they believe in
False beliefs can be suffocating and hard to let go of
Don't fall down cos I need you to rise
I need you to succeed and not give up on yourself
No-one else can heal my wounds
Only I can recover from the pain I am experiencing
