The band started touring and went through some line up changes. The new line up including Sammy, Eliaz, Jari, Spit and Illy recorded a 5-song promo-CD which got quite nice response, especially from outside of Finland. Despite of the good reception of the Promo-CD, the year 2001 was uncertain time for the band Jari left the band and joined Finnish metal kings Timo Rautiainen ja Trio Niskalaukaus and Sammy moved to Helsinki Rock City and was soon after followed by the rest of the band. In the beginning of 2002 Sammy bumped into Jack (ex- Palmcut) while exploring the nightlife of Helsinki and they decided to join their forces and breathe new life into Private Line.
The band started intense rehearsing period and went on to record new kick ass material. In December 2002 Private Line released a new Mini-CD Six Songs Of Hellcity Trendkill (released by Bad Habits/ Kråklund Records). The Mini-CD got rave reviews from the Finnish rock media and also many international print and webzines were enthusiastic about these Finnish newcomers. The band did a 40-show tour in Finland and created a fanatic fanbase. Private Line's loud as f**k mix of 80's sleaze and early 90's alternative punk was now starting to make bigger and bigger waves. The lead singer Sammy`s vocals, stage presence and showmanship was more than often compared to the likes of Vince Neil (Mötley Crüe) and Sebastian Bach (Skid Row).

Private Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Head against the wall
I'm runaway kid, I know you don't
Understand me at all
I fill my head with every thought you said
Spit away everything I can't get
If I can't get you, no matter what is outside
Don't make me stop doing this
Don't give the runaround
I told you that I'm not able to stop
Thinking about you
I can't get you
You
When yesterday's news gives nothing new
It's better run than try
If all in my head is gone for good
The good thing survives
I fill my head with every thought you said
Spit away everything I can't get
If I can't get you, no matter what is outside
Don't make me stop doing this
Don't give the runaround
I told you that I'm not able to stop
Thinking about you
I can't get you
You
Can't get you
You, you, you
You
You say there's tomorrow
But it feels like yesterday
To think I'm walking up and fade away
Don't make me stop doing this
Don't give the runaround
I told you that I'm not able to stop
The press just for you
I can't get you
You
Can't get you
You, you, you
Can't get you
You
Can't get you
You, you, you
I can't get you
Can't get you, you, you
Can't get you, you, you
Can't get you, you, you
The lyrics of Private Line's "Selflove-Sick" is a portrayal of the struggles of an individual who is dealing with heartbreak and is unable to move on. The opening lyrics, "I'm self-love sick, I miss myself, head against the wall," sets the tone for the song. The singer is distressed and overwhelmed by the absence of love from their life, and they feel lost and disconnected from themselves. The second line, "I'm a runaway kid, I know you don't understand me at all," suggests that the person is trying to escape from the situation, but nobody seems to understand or help.
The chorus, "Don't make me stop doing this, don't give the runaround, I told you that I'm not able to stop thinking about you, I can't get you," is a plea for understanding and acceptance. The person is consumed by their thoughts of the lost love and is struggling to move on. The section "When yesterday's news gives nothing new, It's better run than try, if all in my head is gone for good, the good thing survives," highlights the idea that the person is clinging on to the memories of the love, and their mind finds comfort in those thoughts.

Even though you reassure me that there is always a tomorrow, I feel like I am stuck in the past and slowly disappearing.
