Taken off the album “Clear Cold Beyond“ (March 8th, 2024) 🎧 Get, stream the album here: Front-man Tony Kakko adds, “This is a song about persons who think that it's possible and okay to charm and have any and all people for themselves - use and lose - and who don't care about the amount of pain and broken hearts left behind. And now you're the target, but you know better and make sure that this will not happen until 'California falls into the sea,' what I've 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 you're strong enough, you can of course give such persons a serving of their own poison what can be satisfying.“ ▶ FOLLOW @REIGNING PHOENIX MUSIC 🛒 Web YouTube Instagram Facebook X TikTok Spotify ▶ FOLLOW @SONATA ARCTICA Music & Lyrics: Tony Kakko Mikko Karmila at Finnvox Studios Mastered by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers West Video credit: Jarkko Piipari @mediapiipari Additional footage by Tony Kakko and Timo Kauppinen @timokauppinenmusic SONATA ARCTICA is: Tony Kakko - Vocals & Keyboard Elias Viljanen - Guitar Pasi Kauppinen - Bass Tommy Portimo - Drums Henrik Klingenberg - Keyboard 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 seer’s 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, love’s a game, a chore Counting the rounds like a revolving door I’m 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 You’ll never find the way, the key To lock me down, I’m free Now, as you have failed to hear me out, again Made deaf by your own open mouth… I think it’s 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, love’s a game, a chore Counting the rounds like a revolving door I’m 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 I’ve tried them all, can you leave me be? Preeeeego! When California falls into the sea When California falls in to the sea It’s safe to say We’ll never see the day #sonataarctica #clearcoldbeyond #metal #finland #california #melodicmetal #powermetal
