'Meant to Live' is the mental empowerment, the kick-start song to take up the fight against our burdens and depressions. We can not wait to feel the energy of this song on stage and connect with our audience.
lyrics
I can see all the trouble you're in
I can see that it's under your skin
And how it's moving you (it's gonna change - it's gonna change)
You are fighting, but no one believes
In the person you're trying to be
But is it worth it? (it's gonna change - it's gonna change)
But you keep moving on
Take another way
Keep your head up high
Chances come in waves
Maybe we got to sit back and take our time
Wait and pray 'til the stars align
Be the calm right before the storm
To come back again
We got memories we can not erase
We live nightmares we can not escape
But we fight, but we fight, but we fight
'cause we're meant to live
We feel hopeless, and fall in disgrace
We are restless, alone and afraid
But we fight, but we fight, but we fight
'cause we're meant to live
What has it turn to, breath in and look back
Haven't you noticed, you're walking again
Remember the ache that has moved through your bones
Don't you feel strong with this fire in your soul
You kept walking on, took another way
Kept your head up high, chances come in waves
We just need to sit back and take our time
Just wait and pray til the stars align
You were the calm now we are the storm
To come back again
We got memories we can not erase
We live nightmares we can not escape
But we fight, but we fight, but we fight
'cause we're meant to live
We feel hopeless, and fall in disgrace
We are restless, alone and afraid
But we fight, but we fight, but we fight
'cause we're meant to live
But you keep walking on
Take another way
Keep your head up high
Chances come in waves
We got memories we can not erase
We live nightmares we can not escape
But we fight, but we fight, but we fight
'cause we're meant to live
We feel hopeless, and fall in disgrace
We are restless, alone and afraid
But we fight, but we fight, but we fight
'cause we're meant to live

P&C 2021 Long Branch Records
Impressive and immense sound, fused with and inspired by Finnish ancestral roots. UKKO hits hard but also has a heart beating beneath. Albums like this don't get made often; this one will live on as a timeless example of how a talented band move forward while refining their skills, exploring new musical horizons, and writing music with true meaning to each of the musicians involved. camelchild
Scalding metalcore from Spain, “Where the Waves Are Born” swings from clean to growled vocals over blindingly intricate fretwork. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 19, 2023
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024
