Taken off the album āClear Cold Beyondā (March 8th, 2024)
š§ Get, stream the album here:
Front-man Tony Kakko adds, āThis is a song about persons who think that itās possible and okay to charm and have any and all people for themselves - use and lose - and who donāt care about the amount of pain and broken hearts left behind. And now youāre the target, but you know better and make sure that this will not happen until āCalifornia falls into the sea,ā what Iāve come to understand is impossible and will never happen, at least in the sense of science fiction. Simply put: The track deals with self-protection. If youāre strong enough, you can of course give such persons a serving of their own poison what can be satisfying.ā

Lyrics:
So, you think you now have found yourself a game
With smiles and lies you climb the walls
To every heart, far apart
The seerās thousand faces share a name
A thousand tales, unfolding now within a day, everywhere
Scars keep score
The broken pieces, gold on the floor
For you, loveās a game, a chore
Counting the rounds like a revolving door Iām yours on the day when
California falls into the sea
The birds know the way and fly away, if one day
California falls into the sea
Youāll never find the way, the key
To lock me down, Iām free
Now, as you have failed to hear me out, again
Made deaf by your own open mouthā¦
I think itās only fair I live my life
Enjoy the day, go find my beach
And have my moments in the sun
Scars keep score
The broken pieces, gold on the floor
For you, loveās a game, a chore
Counting the rounds like a revolving door Iām yours on the day when
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
The day you find a way to lock me down
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
You wait for
California to fall into the sea
I cannot find a tongue you speak
Iāve tried them all, can you leave me be?
Preeeeego!
When California falls into the sea
When California falls in to the sea
Itās safe to say
Weāll never see the day
