The track is about feeling frustrated with oneself - about feeling dead in the water, about past choices that seem to have lead into a dead end. Life can feel like a dark place sometimes, but hey, there's solace in music! Where Dreams Come to Die - Lyrics by Juha Partanen I did it to myself again Got trapped into a corner Overpromised underdelivered I think more of the former An unrelenting resolve A curse or is it blessing A blind will to keep pushing still Or am I just obsessing This is the place where dreams come to die But mine are still alive Despite the passage of time Choking here under a concrete sky Trying to find ways to survive Hoping to end up revived This is where dreams come to die The days are grey as the sky Reflecting in my eyes Wasteful hope I can't deny Keeps me from hearing my sighs It's time to stop laying down To pick up all the pieces But tempting is the cold rough ground It whispers it releases This is the place where dreams come to die But mine are still alive Despite the passage of time Choking here under a concrete sky Trying to find ways to survive Hoping to end up revived This is where dreams come to die This is the place where dreams come to die But mine are still alive Despite the passage of time This is where dreams come to die Choking here under a concrete sky Trying to find ways to survive Hoping to end up revived This is where dreams come to die This is the place where hope's laid to rest A shallow peace at best A torn heart still pounding the chest This is where dreams come to die Crawling here under a concrete sky I'm in pain all through the night Crushed but wishing not to die This is where dreams come to die This is where dreams come to die, oh This is where dreams come to Diemore

The song is about lifestyle choices - we might dream about big city life, but for some of us, a more peaceful life may be a better choice in the end. Small Town Lights - Lyrics by Juha Partanen This place doesn't glow on the horizon It doesn't beckon or lure you in It's just a candle among the neon A safe haven from fickle winds Am I alive or cast aside Our points of view we must decide A better life the other side Our wants and needs just might collide, oh No big city nights just small town lights Stars up in the skies my neon signs No big city nights just small town lights So beautiful you are among the stars No big city nights just small town lights But there is a solitary comfort There is a pulse and a soul to this place A sanctuary and it's a fort It doesn't matter what outsiders say Am I alive or cast aside Our points of view we must decide A better life the other side Our wants and needs just might collide, oh No big city nights just small town lights Stars up in the skies my neon signs No big city nights just small town lights So beautiful you are among the stars No big city nights just small town lights No big city just a small town No big city just a small town No big city just a small town No big city just a small town No big city nights No big city nights just small town lights Stars up in the skies my neon signs No big city nights just small town lights So beautiful you are among the stars No big city nights just small town lights No big city just a small town No big city just a small townmore

This song got it's initial spark during the last days of my father dying from Alzheimer's. It was a rough ride for all involved. The song is all about that experience. RIP Dad. My best wishes to everyone dealing with similar hardship. The sun will shine again! The Only Question - Lyrics by Juha Partanen Life was glorious way back then Now the only question that's left is when Life was beautiful way back then Now the only question that's left is when It's a slow and stealthy downward spiral It's a slippery slope and there's no survival It's a fire in the brain with no hope of rain It's a freezing cold and a mental mold The time to learn has come It's a bitter pill to swallow Pain hits hard but life goes on For the ones who are left to follow Life was glorious way back then Now the only question that's left is when Life was beautiful way back then Now the only question that's left is when Now it's dark and I can't go on Withered broken a skeleton Drifting far away further away There lies the answer The clock on the wall makes no sense at all Those hands of time turn to limbs that crawl The wife turns into the girl next door The son gives way to a friend of yore The time to learn has come It's a bitter pill to swallow Pain hits hard but life goes on For the ones who are left to follow Life was glorious way back then Now the only question that's left is when Life was beautiful way back then Now the only question that's left is when Now it's dark and I can't go on Withered broken a skeleton Drifting far away further away There lies the answer Now it's dark and I can't go on Withered broken a skeleton Drifting far away further away Further away Further away Life was glorious way back then Now the only question that's left is when Life was beautiful way back then Now the only question that's left is when Life was glorious way back then Now the only question that's left is when Life was beautiful way back then Now the only question that's left is when Now it's dark and I can't go on Withered broken a skeleton Drifting far away further away There lies the answer There lies the answer more
