Soilwork - Helsinki Lyrics






If you urge for transcendence you will have to feel,
all the pain getting there as your fate will be sealed.
If you wish for solace, a journey's end,
you will have to suffer before you can depend.

Seldom you will find your mission inside.
You falter, a wish to die, there are no goodbyes!

Is it the same?
A place where the truth is contained,
where you're always left with the blame.
Now you know how I fought to erase,
all the thoughts that never moved on.

And we're all depending on the same revolution,
that we refer to as what we've become!

If you long for collapse, you'll have to take the fall.
the murder is sweet until you've killed them all.
Seldom you will find your mission inside.
You falter, a wish to die, there are no goodbyes!

So you turn to the night!

So if you come from nothing,
how and when could you have known?
You put a claim on existence,
just how far can reasons go?

Reason enough to go!

The way we were, the way we are.
It's not the time to find that scar.
Our feelings hurt, our will deferred.
It's not your life, it's not your turn.

Is it the same?
A place where the truth is contained,
where you're always left with the blame.
Now you know how I fought to erase,
all the thoughts that never moved on.

And we're all depending on the same revolution,
that we refer to as what we've become!

Soilwork Helsinki Comments
  1. S.... ....

    Why is the song called Helsinki?....

  2. I.... D....

    I love this song. Soilworks is really an awesome band...

  3. H.... M....

    Oh my Goodness...\m/..............Awesome as............. words fail me......

  4. J.... S....

    Should have been the theme song for trumps meeting

  5. D.... Y....

    Amazing lyrics.

  6. P.... X....

    this band is metalcore...

  7. T.... G....

    Did they play this song live?

  8. M.... S....

    Would be so good without all the screaming, love the instrumental parts.

  9. T.... G....

    The song brings nordic vibes. From Norway!

  10. D.... ....

    This is a song that i can vittu saatana perkele to

  11. P.... B....

    need more growl/groove with loud riff than screaming 201* shit-core like prepubar :/

  12. d.... ....

    Great track

  13. T.... W....

    I don't know what it is, but no matter what band it is I find lyrics videos super cheesy.

  14. S.... S....

    0:33 "Would you wait for the thickness, you will rap to feel, roll the Piggy, he dee-lish, your feet wilt the Seal, wont you wait for slime ass, or Jeremy's sin, you will want to suck it be freakin' dickhead! SHELDON, GET INSIDE, YOU WILL SHOOT INSIDE!"              That was one weird fuckin' song about animals, and homosexuality bro!

  15. L.... T....

    ¡Qué vaina tan buena, coño!

  16. H.... R....

    Holy shiiit !!! I love this band!!!

  17. N.... S....

    Soilwork, they never cease to amaze me.

  18. l.... h....

    this was one of my anthems the past year!

  19. C.... o....

    Bjorn did great on earthside. Nuff said

  20. J.... ....

    Any1 else think the verse riff sounds a bit like At the Gates - Blinded by fear?

  21. b.... ....

    Best lyrics video so far.

  22. S.... W....

    my god that intro...

  23. G.... B....

    why have I never heard of these guys , they are so underrated

  24. P.... 0....

    it sounds very well. i think it sounds a little bit like old peter's guitars in most parts. i haven't listened to it yet. i think they should have realessed it later. i think when it comes to artists, the more you get the album later. the better sound you get. good stuff though

  25. S.... J....

    this is just awesome

  26. �.... ....

    Should've named this song 'Hellsinki'.

    �.... ....

    ᚹᚱᛁᛇᛖ haha, _hell_ Yes!

  27. S.... S....

    Gonna see them live in February :)

  28. G.... F....

    This is a perfect example on how to progress as a Melodic Deathmetal band... *Cough Cough In Flames Cough Cough*

    G.... F....

    definitely definitely not melodeath
    and not because of the clean vocals; that screamo and guitar sound much more metalcore than melodeath - dark tranquillity has clean vocals, but that's melodeath 200%
    still nice though

    G.... F....

    They all come from the same area, but what would any of you know about the original sound that is the göteborg-sound. @Maurizio Carcassona

    G.... F....

    @Fridolf måne tbh, they never sounded gotenborgish

    G.... F....

    Cool story bro, you are allowed to feel that. @Maurizio Carcassona

    G.... F....

    I litrally think this songs main riff is so close to blinded by fear with at the Gates and u guys say its not melodeath

  29. S.... E....

    Glad i stayed with metal all those years, and Soilwork especially!

  30. S.... N....

    Soilwork are some of the hardest working bands out. They keep putting out music & it's been really good. On a side note check out my long time freinds & favorite bands Candiria while you were sleeping on Metal Blade released today Oct 7th 2016 after a 20 yr hiatus.

  31. I.... ....

    In Flames take notes.

  32. k.... ....

    I love soilwork but it's like the same shit as usual sounds amazing but the same ..

  33. A.... T....

    bjorn strid master vocal rips it up

  34. g.... ....

    カッッッッケェΣ(・□・;)

  35. D.... B....

    I just want more

  36. M.... -....

    Soilwork is so damn awesome even their b-sides are top notch! Such a great song!

    This current line up, with Sylvain, David and Markus is great too! Song writing is top notch and live shows are amazing. I just watched them live this last weekend and our was the most memorable concert I've ever watched!

  37. j.... ....

    Fantastic!

  38. K.... ....

    Soilwork is my favorite band.

    K.... ....

    same here

  39. M.... e....

    these songs are so good. I liv forever lost in vain and. muh more

  40. L.... K....

    Still mad that Dirk left. Kind of a traitor move. Who gives a shit about Megadeth?

    L.... K....

    I feel the same although maybe we shouldn't be too hard on him considering Megadeth (otherwise known as Megadave) is much more likely to be a much higher paying gig. Sadly, playing in Soilwork is probably financially limiting. Soilwork is a much better band and I think most of us understand that but commercially Megadeth is much bigger. We can only hope he'll return at some point.

    L.... K....

    @TheOmegaeyes Well I totally get why he left, he could be a big fan of Megadeth and it could be a dream scenario for him that he can actually fulfill.

    I know he liked Soilwork, but ultimately he joined to fill a spot after Henry Ranta (spelling?) left.

    I just feel like the lineup was flawless around The Living Infinite, and then Ola leaves, now Dirk. It kinda sucks, but as long as Bjorn, David, and Sylvain are still there, I think they can go strong.

  41. G.... ....

    These high pitched parts in the chorus is freaking insane. Speed is killing it.

    G.... ....

    Yeah, and he's pulling them perfectly live.

    I just saw them last last weekend and my jaw was dropped. Flawless! They didn't perform this song, but they played a couple of songs from The Ride Majestic that go this far and Speed nailed them. Whirl of Pain and Petrichor by Sulfur.

    G.... ....

    @L Galicki Yep, saw them last year in december playing these songs. Absolutely stunning.

  42. T.... L....

    YES, fucking superstars. the murder is sweet until you have killed them all.

  43. A.... C....

    Helsinki es la capital de finlandia

  44. d.... d....

    #outfuckingstanding #sickasfuck fuck a hashtag.

  45. T.... ....

    Obviously 64 people who's ears are broken, fact: Soilwork is the best in the genre.

  46. B.... M....

    Nice pictures from the ruins of world-wide famous Helsinki Gothic Cathedral. It built in the XIV. century, I spend nice hours in its garden every summer.

    B.... M....

    When I looked up the Helsinki cathedral that you're talking about it says it was built in the 1800s. Other cathedrals/churches were all built in the 1800s as well, not the 1300s as you say.

  47. J.... F....

    I still say no Frenning, no Wichers, no SOILWORK. This isn't bad though. Just more of the same.

    J.... F....

    Wichers and Frenning lost their touch after 2005 what the hell are you talking about?

    Great Divide and Panic Broadcast sounds like a worse Avenged Sevenfold or Killswitch knock off.

    J.... F....

    The Living Infinite proved well enough, that Wichers is definitely not needed.

  48. j.... w....

    Great song. Wish the chorus would've been repeated one more time. Too good for just two times.

  49. J.... N....

    This band just keeps killing it....20 years of god damn killing it.

  50. D.... B....

    Finland - great countryHelsinki - great cityLove love

  51. C.... G....

  52. l.... ....

    Fuckin' great track! Feels like it should have been on Beyond the Infinite.

  53. S.... A....

    fuck yeah ! thats actually pretty good for a leftover , amazing track , love it

  54. P.... F....

    Fucking rules!!

  55. H.... R....

    Is Dirk on this album so ?? Man... he shouldn't be on megadeth, he is way too much for megadeth songs. I hope he keeps on soilwork for his incomporable drumming...maybe Peter Wildoer is on the same level (my all time favourite metal drummer, James labie Static Impulse is the most energetic metal album that i ever heard of).

  56. d.... ....

    ive never bought their albums before but im pretty sure im gonna buy this one !!!

  57. R.... L....

    Great hook. Also, keep on bringing stuff like the second part of this solo section, and boy, we're sold forever.

  58. F.... ....

    suomi mainuttu !!!

  59. O.... H....

    Torilla tavataan?

  60. A.... D....

    i actually thought i retired from air guitar playing until 2.05 ...

  61. D.... G....

    Too fucking bad Dirk left the greatest band of all time to join Megadeth.

    D.... G....

    I feel the same. For me Soilwork is the best band ever, and to leave for Megadeth, just seems like a huge downgrade.

  62. C.... H....

    I feel like this album is going to be on par with The Living Infinite. . . I'm like, scared to get hyped because I didn't think Soilwork could ever match The Living Infinite again, and while The Ride Majestic was good it just wasn't there. . .

    I've always been a person who couldn't tell you even a top 10 list of favorite bands, even a top 25 in no order would be difficult, but I've always had a top 1 since I heard Nerve, The Flameout and As We Sleep: Soilwork, Soilwork, Soilwork and they continued to blow my mind with two of my 3 most listened albums (~600+ plays on The Living Infinite, ~400+ plays of Night Train by Jason Aldean and ~300+ of The Panic Broadcast) and if this is what I hope it will be, Jason Aldean will no longer be on that list.

  63. D.... ....

    this song is so bad ass and sexual I dominated my lady to this song. she dont even like metal.

  64. S.... ....

    I'd hate to say it but it seems like this is another good band going down the scene slope.

    S.... ....

    why that? Soilwork has a pretty unique sound right now and this song is "just" a B-side

    S.... ....

    +seehound619 Soilwork and mass appeal? That happened a few years ago with Stabbing the Drama and so on. New Soilwork definitely is not like that, just listen to songs like Alight in the aftermath

    S.... ....

    Massive blast beats and mass appeal does not fit together, nor the technicality of their stuff with David and Sylvain.

    S.... ....

    thenextchicken This isn't even a B side, this is one of the 2 new songs they recorded for this compilation.

  65. �.... �....

    suomi mainittu!


    wtf is up with me im turkish

  66. R.... B....

    Hey there everyone. If you like metal, check out our bands channel. Listen to our tunes and subscribe for more songs coming out soon.

    Cheers fellow metal heads!

  67. R.... R....

    amazing i love you soilwork

  68. D.... ....

    This track is a huge tribute to Finland, a big supporter of Soilwork. I think it's great. I'm American, but Scandinavia is full of metal talent. I love all of it.

  69. P.... O....

    Excuse me, but on what album was this awesome song supposed to be? It's a unreleased track so... Sounds a lot like "The Ride Majestic"!

    P.... O....

    This song is new, along with the song Death Resonance, the rest of the songs are bonus tracks from the Japanese releases of their albums, and the Beyond The Infinite EP is included as well.

  70. A.... F....

    from 2:26 with the voice,kirks drumming is great.

  71. A.... B....

    the lyrics remind me of jello...

  72. A.... R....

    THIS IS HELSINKI-SAATANAN KUULIJAT.

  73. S.... ....

    Another great piece of music by Soilwork! They're getting better and better and better!
    AWESOME! Can't wait for DEATH RESONANCE! Already preorded! Fuck yeah!

    S.... ....

    Same here :)

  74. L.... I....

    These lyrics make no sense...

  75. M.... ....

    Sounds like a Labrie's solo album, but better

  76. H.... B....

    Did I hear Devin Townsend?

  77. A.... S....

    The video makes the song so much sweeter :) :)

  78. A.... S....

    Have a feeling death resonance will be an amazing song

  79. K.... G....

    Exactly what I expected from Soilwork, they don't let down!!

  80. J.... B....

    Oh... Fuck. Three words. Jaw-dropping, eyebrow-raising, and goosebump inducing. So. Stoked. Rock on brothers and sisters.

  81. A.... M....

    Hyping for more Soilwork, it's never a bad thing.

  82. D.... M....

    So wait, is this a new album or just songs that were exclusive to certain countries, like Japan?

    D.... M....

    This song and one other is a new one the rest is stuff that was exclusive.

  83. f.... ....

    TORILLE

    f.... ....

  85. A.... S....

    A.... S....

    Tietääkö kukaan miksi Suomi on yleensäkään mainittu?

    A.... S....

    Soilwork on julkaissut Live DVD:n, joka on kuvattu Helsingissä, tämä biisi on kai jotain jatkumoa sille. En vaan itsekään ymmärrä miksi, miten lyriikat/video yms ylipäätään viittaa Helsinkiin? Biisin nimi olisi voinut olla mitä tahansa muuta..

    A.... S....

    dragothica Ne viittaa bändin omiin käsityksiin, havaintoihin ja muistoihin helsingin ilmapiiristä

    A.... S....

    en tiiä mutta torille

  86. n.... c....
