Their debut album - All Eternity - was released in Finland by the end of that year and the band then signed contracts with Nuclear Blast (for Europe) and Pony Canyon (for Japan). In 2000, the band toured Europe together with Dark Tranquillity, Sentenced and In Flames. Epilogue was released in 2001 and was followed by a tour with Lacrimosa.
The album Jaded was released in 2003 and in August of that year, vocalist Jarno Perätalo left the band. He assembled a new band named Tiaga, integrated by former members of To/Die/For. However, in 2004, Jarno Perätalo and the band Tiaga took the name To/Die/For for themselves, releasing the album IV in 2005.
Farewell
To/Die/For Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you always seemed to buy their lies
but that's all gone
forget your past
go on and dry those tears
now come with me
I'll take you someplace safe
the world is cold and so alone
we've got no place to call our own
but I don't care
come run with me
and we will find a way
believe me now
I'll take you someplace safe
will you take my hand
'cause nothing never ever lasts
I'll seal our love for eternity
but I don't care
come run with me
and we will find a way
believe me now
I'll take you someplace safe
will you take my hand
'cause nothing never ever lasts
I'll seal our love for eternity
The lyrics of To/Die/For's song "Farewell" speak of a sense of disillusionment, pain and a need for safety and security. The opening lines, "you've been hurt so many times, you always seemed to buy their lies," suggest a theme of deception and betrayal, which can lead to a sense of distrust and hurt. The singer tries to offer comfort and hope by urging the listener to forget the past, dry their tears and come with them to a safe place. This could be interpreted as a metaphorical journey towards healing and inner peace.
The lines "the world is cold and so alone, we've got no place to call our own" convey a sense of alienation and isolation, with the singer acknowledging that they too are without a sense of belonging or connection. However, they offer a solution in the following lines, by inviting the listener to "run with me" and "find a way" together, emphasizing the importance of solidarity and mutual support. The repetition of the phrase "I'll take you someplace safe" serves as both a reassurance and a symbol of the singer's commitment to the listener.
The chorus further emphasizes the fragility of life and relationships, with the plea to "take my hand, 'cause nothing never ever lasts," and the promise to "seal our love for eternity." Overall, the lyrics of "Farewell" convey a sense of vulnerability, loss, and the search for safety and compassion.
