The band finally gained international fame with their 2003 album Dead Letters which went gold and platinum in several countries, accompanied with the single In the Shadows which reached #1 in a number of countries. iTunes Music Store offered the track as one of its free singles, a positive public response prompted many listeners to buy the rest of the album. Guilty was released in 2004 and was the last single of the album. The three other singles; In My Life, First Day of My Life and Funeral Song also received mostly favourable reviews and response. During the 2004 Reading Festival in England, the band was pelted with plastic bottles filled with urine and mud (an act reserved for the worst band on the bill each year) until they eventually walked offstage when immediate medical attention was required for Eero's eye.
Hide from the Sun, the band's sixth studio album was released in September 2005. It received Platinum status in Finland and sold more than 15,000 copies in the UK alone.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That it came to this,
You paralyzed my body
With a poison kiss
For forty days and nights
I was chained to your bed,
You thought that was
The end of the story
Called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you.
You told me my darling,
"Without me, you're nothing"
You taught me, to look in your eyes
And fed me your sweet lies!
Suddenly someone will stare
In the window.
Looking outside at the sky
That had never been blue...
Ahh!, there's a world without you
I see the light.
Living in a world without you.
Ahh!, there is hope to guide me
I will survive!
Living in a world without you.
It's hard to believe
That it came to this,
You paralyzed my body
With a poison kiss
For forty days and nights
I was chained to your bed,
You thought that was
The end of the story
Something inside me
Called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you.
You put me together
Then trashed me for pleasure
You used me again and again
Abused me, confused me!
Suddenly naked I run
Through your garden.
Right through the gates of the
Past and I'm finally free...
Ahh!, there's a world without you
I see the light.
Living in a world without you.
Ahh!, there is hope to guide me
I will survive!
Living in a world without you.
It's hard to believe
That it came to this,
You paralyzed my body
With a poison kiss
For forty days and nights
I was chained to your bed,
You thought that was
The end of the story
Something inside me
Called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you.
It's hard to believe
That it came to this,
You paralyzed my body
With a poison kiss
For forty days and nights
I was chained to your bed,

The end of the story
Something inside me
Called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you.
Ahh!, there's a world without you
I see the light.
Living in a world without you.
Ahh!, there is hope to guide me
I will survive!
Living in a world without you.

It's hard to believe that it came to this
