Song information

[edit]
  • "Portselanist tüdruk" is about a man, who is warned by his mother and father for women, that won't stay by his side. He nevertheless ends up with such a girl and has to be disappointed.
  • "See ei ole saladus" is kind of a love song.
  • "Tee" also seems to be a love song, and its message is: "The way is important, not the destination."
  • "6 jalga niisket maad" is about a highwayman, who is looking for salvation.
  • "Just nagu mustlased" is about an outlaw or a mob of them.
  • The message of "Head uudised" is, that there aren't any good news anymore and that the bad news have become merely an entertainment.
  • "Raudteejaam" is a love song and it seems to be from the eyes of a secret admirer, who is writing love letters on the wall of a railway station.
  • "Klaustrofoobia" is about a man, who falls in love with a woman and then realizes, that he's just a puppet for her.
  • "Jää" is another love song about finding answers.
  • "Hall maailm" is about a man who has lived through a lot.
  • "Osa minust" handles the good and the bad part of a human being.
  • "Veel on aega" is about leaving your home town. It also has a reference to Laura Palmer from "Twin Peaks" in lines "Laura Palmer mõrvati | Väikelinn kuid elab edasi", which means "Laura Palmer was murdered | But a small town lives on".
  • "Televiisorimees" is from the album "Singapur". The band used to do concerts for free on the roof of a low porch of the Ministry of Defense in Tallinn, that's where the term "katusekontsert" comes. It's the live version of the song from a "Katusekontsert". "Televiisorimees" ends at 3:47, "Kes ei tööta, see ei söö" starts at 4:48. "Kes ei tööta, see ei söö" is a cover of Kuldne Trio.
