Yet another song by my favorite band!

After waiting 12 years, I finally got to see Seether play live in Melkweg in Amsterdam. The band performed beyond expectations and I was left thrown into the vast void that is imagination, time, space and possibility. Many people may say that their songs are of a dark, sad and angry nature. However, they are so right but they have forgotten that some of us need to feed our anger, sorrow and loss. When I hear lyrics in song I can honestly say that I am happy beyond words for I remember all the pain and events I have overcome. Hope you all read the lyrics and listen to the song through the link. Of course, I recommend you go out and buy the entire discography as well.

"Master Of Disaster"


Steal my sight and then
Fill my mind with foreign words
To keep me wanting
And speak now, child
And chill my heart with all the hurt
And keep me suffering


All these promises
Lectures and bold-faced lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind


Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cruel promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams are dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside


Be quick now, child
And soil my bed with all your dirt
Just keep me suffering


All these promises
Lectures and bold-faced lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind


Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cruel promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams are dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside


Don’t let me sleep, take me back
But don’t let me be comfortable
If I get too weak (please let me feel my way home)
Cut no slack, and don’t let me be comfortable
Don’t let me sleep (please let me feel my way home)
Take me back, but don’t let me be comfortable


Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cruel promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams are dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside


If you say you’re alive (please let me feel my way home)
When you pray you’re alive
Oh you hate when I’m right (please let me feel my way home)
And you lay in the fire

For the Raggy Man

Misunderstood by those foreign to his friendship,
Idolized by the youth that gaze upon him,
Taken for a fool by the older generation's slip,
Yet care's not for what is said or thought by them,


For he is great for being humble inside,
He is loved for easing your burdens,
Respected for earning all that he holds,
Here and now he won't ever hide,


Our hero will face any challenge,
Not man or nature can hold him back,
No woman or wealth will change,
How so few qualities one can lack,


His flame shall burn forever.

Ever-changing Life

The year's first chapter is about to be concluded with a discussion. The Finnish studies that have kept me busy each day are coming to an end, at least the first basic phase. Next up, comes the 1st Continuation Course where things begin to heat up as I battle to smile at Finns for "loving" their interesting language. On the bright side, the language is growing on me as well as in me. Each day, everything around me seems clearer. The meetings at work are more understandable and time with my friends is getting even better. (which is over the level of awesomeness) 

Now, this weekend brings forth the return of the lost Malaka, Timo, who has for the last couple of months been swimming in an ocean of Labradors; strange language; heavy foods and terrible teaching. Furthermore, there will be packing all of Saturday as I am going to be moving. Sunday will hopefully be the day that I get everything in the new place and at least done with moving for a long time. 

Moreover,the summer is on its way and I am already cycling to class...at least when it's warm enough. My wrist has almost healed enough to bend it without hurting yet it still needs more time. Once that's ready, Wing Tsung here I come baby! It's been ages since I could some serious regular kung fu training and I am dying for it. Anyways, gotta get myself back in shape since months of "resting" has brought on a belly that I want gone. Hope you all are ready for the summer, I know am. Anyways stay tuned and soon more poetry will be added.

Fear not Sadness or Despair

You have haunted my dreams,
Crept up on my downfalls,
Taken shots when I was weak
And even threw me into the fire when sick.


You took away the ones I loved,
Torn from freedom and choice,
Left hating in despair unmoved,


For every lashing for every wrong,
All the tears from a sad song,
Misunderstandings all too plentiful,
My victories decayed as they crumble.  


Feel free to take me to my end,
But never dare to target a friend.
