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 ↴
That you'll find nothing underneath the peel
That I can't undo the times we disagreed
That I can't ignore the way I feel
'cause what I feel is the only truth I know
And I get by on this naivete of youth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe
Could you hold us up if I would drag us down?
Resurrect emotions from our past
N' if they had a king for fools would you wear the crown?
Build us up again and make us last
'cause what I feel is the only truth for me
And I get by on this naivete of youth
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I still leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe
And if we don't worry about a thing
Will we be sorry when the rain is falling again
And what does it matter
If fortune should favor
It's never the final amen
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I still leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe
In Poets of the Fall's song King of Fools, the singer expresses his worries about not being able to give his partner what they need and that they won't find anything substantial underneath his surface. He fears that they won't be able to move past their disagreements or ignore how he truly feels. Despite his apprehensions, he believes that what he feels is his only truth and that he can get by on his naivete of youth. He questions whether leaving his youth behind will lead to being crucified for wanting to believe. He asks if his partner can hold them both up when he drags them down and whether they could revisit old emotions to build them up again. He believes that what he feels is his only truth and that he can get by on his naivete of youth. He questions whether he will be crucified for wanting to hold onto his beliefs and his youth.
The lyrics are about the fear of not being good enough for someone, the fear of being seen for exactly who you are, and the fear of losing touch with your optimistic, youthful spirit. It's about the challenge of moving forward in a relationship without getting weighed down by past disagreements, and it's about the fear of outgrowing a youthful sense of naivete. The song also speaks to the reality that forging ahead in love requires faith in one's own truth and a willingness to accept shortcomings and what is left unknown.
