Tell me who you are, have you thought about it?
Yeah, of course you have now it's time to deal with it
Spoilt sheltered overfed kid
You believe you're free standing on your own two feet
But you're chained to your possessions
Too content to change and take part in the action
Instant gratification for the cynical child of the welfare nationAll all that you should dare is so far away and to get there you have to
Break the day, to change your ways to throw away all you are today
Don't want to help you out
Cause every morning kills me
As long as I wake up with you by my side
As long as we're alike
No matter what the distance
My sun won't rise
You're a cartoon cut-out of the things that you mock
Incapable of thinking out of the box
Never opening your mouth unless so requested
Straight A student with no skills to protest
Blinded by pride thinking you're so smart
Your thoughts and deeds lightyears apart
I thought you were the leader, feeder of minds
Boldly marching on to the new frontiers
But you're nothing but a beaurecrat
With a sense of power
Slave to the rules and the office hours
Labourer without the vision
Namedropper in the hopes of gaining recognition
Don't want to help you out
Cause every morning kills me
As long as I wake up with you by my side
As long as we're alike
No matter what the distance
My sun won't rise
I can smell deep dark trouble
Velcra è un gruppo musicale finlandese di heavy metal e musica elettronica formatosi nel 1999. La loro musica presenta voci femminili (sia pulite che distorte) su uno sfondo di chitarre pesantemente distorte e ritmi marziali con un uso massiccio di loop campionati e potrebbe essere definita industrial metal o rap-metal. Hanno presto firmato per Virgin Records per pubblicare un CD completo. Nel 2002, Velcra ha pubblicato il loro album di debutto, *Consequences of Disobedience*. I singoli "Can't Stop Fighting" e "My Law" hanno aiutato la band a raggiungere il numero 5 nella classifica finlandese. Velcra ha anche pubblicato singoli per le canzoni "Big Brother" e "Test Animals". Nel 2005, la band ha pubblicato il secondo album completo, *Between Force and Fate*, e il singolo "Our Will Against Their Will" ha raggiunto il numero 3 nella classifica finlandese. Da allora, la band ha realizzato altri due video musicali, uno per "Memory Loss" e uno per "The Bong Song". *Between Force and Fate* è diverso da *Consequences of Disobedience* perché la band ha abbandonato completamente i ritornelli pop orecchiabili dalla loro musica. Questo dà all'album un suono molto più pesante, evidente in canzoni come "For My Loneliness I Pay". A giugno 2006, il batterista Mikko Herranen ha lasciato la band per concentrarsi sulla sua altra band RUST. Il 30 maggio 2007 Velcra ha pubblicato il terzo album *Hadal* in Finlandia e su iTunes. Video di "Quick and Dirty" e "Dusk Becomes a Dawn" sono stati rilasciati nel 2007. Quest'ultima canzone è stata anche pubblicata come singolo. All'inizio del 2008, Tomi Koivusaari ha lasciato la band e Timo Hanninen si è unito al gruppo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
