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.

However, in 2004, Jarno Perätalo and the band Tiaga took the name To/Die/For for themselves, releasing the album IV in 2005.
Silence Tells More
To/Die/For Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silently crying
Mourning the love that is gone
Desperately denying
Tears run down her face
Like the rain
Been crying now for days
I tried to tell you something more
But my silence tells you more
I don't love you anymore
I tried to tell you something more
But my silence tells you more
I don't love you anymore
Her blood runs down the drain
Like a river
Gave in to the pain
Strongest of emotions
I tried to tell you something more
But my silence tells you more
I don't love you anymore
She realize the other side, no need to cry
It's all behind the frost tears that tear his eye
Silence tells more
The first verse of To/Die/For's song "Silence Tells More" introduces us to a woman who is alone by the window, crying silently. While mourning the love that is gone, she is also denying it and clinging to it desperately. The second verse portrays the physical manifestation of her pain as tears that run down her face like rainfall, with her crying for days on end. The woman's need to let go is palpable, but she cannot seem to find the strength to do so.
The refrain of the song, "I tried to tell you something more, but my silence tells you more," is the central message of "Silence Tells More." The singer feels conflicted about not being able to express her true feelings, since her silence speaks volumes about how she has fallen out of love. Her blood running down the drain "like a river" shows that she has given in to the pain, further emphasizing how she has reached a breaking point. And yet, she still cannot bring herself to say the words out loud.
