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).

While God Saves I Destroy
Private Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind!
Welcome to our Babylon!
Five shots, two ludes for a daily grind!
Bodyguards with guardian angels
Small talk with relation to strangers
Fuck Lord the new religion is me
I don't need a guide I've got my own reputation
While God saves I destroy!
Oh oh oh oh!
Sing out another Sin city blues!
Let's celebrate the destruction!
This is my revelation I win you lose
Light my path I make my own destination
I'm the captain of the lost generation
While god saves I destroy!
Come on smell my breath of sin
Break the chains and set me free, set me free!
Now I've got a new destination, a full reputation
While God saves I destroy!
Knock 'em down into the third degree
True Believers you won't get me, you'll see!
This is my revelation, my youth nation
While God saves I destroy
Sing out another Sin city blues!
Destroy!
Bodyguards with guardian angels
What If God created the creation
Wonder why he didn't do a better job?
God saves, God saves, God saves
While God saves I destroy!
These lyrics from Private Line's While God Saves I Destroy describe a person who sees themselves as above any kind of moral code, religious or societal. They see themselves as the captain of the "lost generation," someone who is on a path of destruction and doesn't care who or what they hurt along the way. The line "Fuck Lord the new religion is me" could suggest they have replaced any traditional belief system with their own sense of power and egocentrism. The repeated line "while God saves I destroy" shows that they believe they are superior to any force of good or morality.
The song portrays a nihilistic attitude towards life, with lines such as "let's celebrate the destruction" and "knock 'em down into the third degree." The singer seems to revel in chaos and rebellion, as if trying to prove a point to the world. The mention of "Sin city blues" shows that they prefer the darker side of life, where there are no rules or limits.
Overall, these lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on modern society, where people are becoming more self-centered and less concerned with the welfare of others. The message seems to be a warning against falling into a mindset of destructive individualism, where the pursuit of power and pleasure comes at the expense of everything else.
