Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust (Official Video w/ Lyrics) 

It's tradition that we must randomly return here. No matter what.

You don't just look for this song, this song finds you...when the time is right.

Anyone 2024?

Thank you, 'Remedy Entertainment', for introducing me to this band!!

This is the proof, that meaningful music doesn't need a billion veiws! So, whoever listens and feels this song is a true listener!😊

Don't walk away. ... Such underrated song such a underrated band. Breaks my heart.

Why is this band SO underrated??!! I literally came across them by accidentally searching up a title of their song. Their songs are unlike any other band and their music videos are also so cool!! I say his everytime, but their music and videos literally remind me of movies! Bro I wish they were known more ⚡️

I came here thanks to their (Old Gods of Asgard) performance of Herald of Darkness at the Game Awards. Can't believe I've never listened to their huge back catalogue of tunes not featured in Remedy video games! Ridiculously talented band \m/ \m/

Me, 16, from 2009: -After all this time? Me, 27, now: -Always.

Those who want to undersrtand the song: The world has been depicted as a carnival with all sorts of exciting things around. The lover stands caged, yearning for the woman's 'rain of love' in the 'carnival of rust', crying his soul out, but the woman is pulled towards all the superficial glories around, symbolized in the video by games, toys, riches, and magic shows. Smitten by this superficiality, she wants to experience everything. Greed seems to take over as she is restless and wondering what all to try and what not. Her eyes glimmer with the luster of these temporary media of joy-she imagines being on the swing and the adrenaline rush that it'd bring, or soothing her taste buds with a candy. Basically, as is true in life as well, her possessions (coins) are limited and she is confused about where to use them and who really deserves them/her. Hypnotized by the fake beauty of the world, she doesn't realize that her real happiness lies in love, in that soul helplessly craving for her attention. While for the world, she is a just another nobody, like a customer at one of those stalls in a carnival. They call out to her, try to impress her, try to show to her that her happiness lies with them but once their purpose is solved (the money is in), she is a nobody for them again. And all the while, her lover is yearning for her attention, wanting to give her all the happiness she is struggling to find in things superficial and fake. In a way, she unknowingly objectifies him-comparing him with various material pleasures and then choosing the latter. And when she realizes that she is still not happy, not at peace, is still incomplete and none of the riches (symbolized by the doll she wins as a prize) can give her true happiness and peace, she looks back to search for her lover, but he is gone now. Forever. It's too late. #copied

2024, and still one of my favorite songs. Listen to it daily at the least. 🥰

One of the universe's best songs. I love everything they do. His voice is so haunting

This song is pure art. This should be taught in schools.

i just can't even describe how much i love this song.

LYRICS D'you breathe the name of your saviour In your hour of need? And taste the blame if the flavor Should remind you of greed Of implication, insinuation, and ill-will 'Til you cannot lie still In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil Come closing in for a kill Come feed the rain 'Cause I'm thirsty for your love Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah, feed the rain 'Cause without your love, my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust, oh It's all a game, avoiding failure When true colors will bleed All in the name of misbehavior And the things we don't need I lust for after, no disaster can touch Touch us anymore And more than ever, I hope to never fall Where enough is not the same it was before Come feed the rain 'Cause I'm thirsty for your love Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah, feed the rain 'Cause without your love, my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust Yeah, feed the rain 'Cause I'm thirsty for your love Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah, feed the rain 'Cause without your love, my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust (carnival of rust) Don't walk away Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning Don't walk away Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning Don't walk away Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning Don't walk away Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning

This song is criminally underrated! At 3:33 I could have understood if the song transitioned into a growl / scream, and it would have added a lot of power to the end of the song. However, Marko chose to persist in the soft, mellow vocal range with minor inflections which kept magnifying to the yearning feeling that the song has been developing since the first second. Genius is an understatement!

Man I'm only just discovering this song. Apparently 11 years late.

POTF is so underrated.

I feel so completely ripped off that I only now discovered this song. It literally touched my cold heart and made it beat again

My oldest son introduced me to this song...I'm 50 and it's 2023 I love it

Hey you? Yes you! You have a great taste of music. Keep listening!!

lets agree this is one of the greatest songs ever written.

Never let this song die, just because they are Finnish not American or British they are not getting the love support reach they deserve the melody,perfect beats, the voice,instrumentals it’s just amazing!!the amount of peace this song carries is just magnificent The vibe The feeling of this song just makes you feel like heaven! Love from India❤️

One of the greatest songs ever made.

This band is so good, I wish they weren't so criminally unknown. I love his voice, the guitars and the lyrics. The lyrics!

My love for this song is beyond measurement

this is what we call, a Masterpiece.

Wow. This is beautiful and haunting at the same time. Music that fills your soul. Cannot believe I never heard of them before. I've been waiting for you guys for a long time.

I cannot believe how it has taken me TWELVE years to find this beautiful hidden gem. It's sad in a way, imagine how many great masterpieces like this one are out there, hidden, waiting to be discovered.

This is the kind of music people need to listen to these days. Powerful lyrics, a trippy video and such in your face yet subtle symbolism.

12+ years , still soothing to the soul

Alright Remedy, you did it again. You brought me back to POTF. I'm fine with you getting away with it over and over

Almost ten years of this masterpiece; and here we all are, still listening and enjoying it like the first day

0% Nudity 0% Curse Words 0% Drugs & Shit 100% Art 100% Real Music 100% Deep Meaning

I just stumbled onto this song yesterday. This group is incredibly talented, and the singer has a fantastic ability to emote through his tone. Listening to several of their songs, they're a hidden gem in music.

Aging like fine wine. A masterpiece. Almost all of this band's songs.

wow !!!!! the singers voice is so powerful

Just found this song. Probably listened to it 50 times in the last 2 days. Hits so real on so many levels. Unbelievable art.

11 years and it still gives me goosebumps.

I just stumbled across this song randomly and I cannot lie it's actually one of the best songs I found randomly.

Nicki Minaj shaking her ass like a balloon .. got billion of views while an amazing song like this one got only some few millions :/ That's definitely unfair

Some movies have their signature songs, this song has it's own movie.

OMG I love this song, so many memories come from listening to it

I discovered POTF last evening and was astounded. Tremendous melody and talent. Ive never heard of them till I found them ... But then, the dude with the best and highest rated comment said this song will FIND YOU. As Carnival of Rust was my introduction to them, its such an exceptional song and has made me an instant fan for life.

My first "poets of The Fall" song.

This song is like a classic bottle of wine. The older it gets, the experience is becoming finer. This band is blessed and blessed are we for being alive and listening to them

This song comes to my mind so often...all these years! An overall masterpiece !

Who's watching in 2024

This song is really a masterpiece.

The fact that the comment section is still active even after 11 years is just lit🔥(thanku for 700+ likes)

its been more than 8 years since Ive been listening to this song, it never gets ol. So many memories come flooding. THe beauty of music is just beyond explanation

Definitely one of the best music videos that was ever created!

First time hearing this song. This popped up as a random youtube recommendation. These guys are awesome.

1st song that I listened from Poets of the Fall. This will never get rusted.

How am I in my late 30's and just now finding this band? Masterpiece!

This is one of the first music videos I watched when I got access to RU-vid as a little teen - been in love with the band since then (about 15 years)!

Why wasn't this nominated for a Grammy? The lyrics are so meaningful.

It's corona time but we are here listening to this masterpiece

The single best thing about playing control and alan wake is finding out about poets of the fall.

It's my best. I've listened this band about 15 years, and now i can say that it's really the most underrated and absolutely perfect rock band i've ever listen. Keep doing whan you doing. Appreciete you

That unique feeling when you find a song, that hits you right in the soul🙏🎶

where i've been ? first time listening to this song in 2016 wooow

Tätä biisiä voisin kuunnella 24/7 😍🤩😍😍

Anyone else here after the game awards of 2023?

Doctor : You have 4 minutes to live Me : Play carnival of rust Doctor : But its 4.33 God : Its ok.

2019 still i am in love with this song...

It is the most beautiful music video I've ever seen. This moment at 1:30 until 1:41 makes me cry everytime (the clip as well as the sounds we hear in the background). Can't get over this song, such a gorgeous piece of art 🥀

Still keep coming back for the chills and this song still delivers....

2016. Still having goosebumps

If you're still listening to this you have great taste in music.

The metaphors in even the video hit so right in today’s world, it’s incredible. Long time fan, know all the lyrics, paid attention today and it hit me deeper than ever before. The layers of this, the layers of this!

I always come back to this one of the greatest songs ever made!

This band is so underrated, can't believe this. And this song is a masterpiece of music and creativity in itself.

You realize that the most disturbing fact about life is it's not fair when you know that shitty strippers singing get 1B views while bands like POTF are underrated.

If you love this song..then my friend you have good taste in music. A sheer masterpiece.❤❤

Just discovered this band, I have to say I'm loving it so far!

Im From Iran , The country in the Middle east, your songs are perfect Guys, you have Fans here. When i listen to this song My muscles start shaking... You are the Best of the world

One of most under-rated bends... I love their music, ever since I heard their song in Max Payne. (Late Goodbye)

Such a masterpiece. Still loving it today and I think I will always love it. The lyrics, the voice, the video, the music. Everything.

FINALLY. A youtube music suggestion worthy of listening. glad i could find another underrated hidden gem...

Wtf how did I live my life without this

Carnival of Rust / Lyrics To breathe the name Of your savior In your hour of need And taste the blame If the flavor should remind you of greed Of implication, insinuation and you will Till you cannot lie still In all this turmoil, before red cave and foil Come closing in for a kill Come feed the rain 'Cause I'm thirsty for your love Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah feed the rain 'Cause without your love, my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust It's all a game Avoiding failure When true colors will bleed All in the name Of misbehavior And the things we don't need I lust for after no disaster can touch Touch us anymore And more than ever, w hope to never fall Where enough is not the same it was before Come feed the rain 'Cause I'm thirsty for your love Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah feed the rain 'Cause without your love, my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust Yeah feed the rain 'Cause I'm thirsty for your love, Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah, feed the rain 'Cause without your love, my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust Don't walk away, don't walk away Ooh, when the world is burning Don't walk away, don't walk away Ooh, when the heart is yearning Don't walk away, don't walk away Ooh, when the world is burning Don't walk away, don't walk away Ooh, when the heart is yearning

Every song to the point, like it's eating my soul...I love your music, it brings me peace-😥

this song is an extension of the soul, invites itself to listen from time to time

"Come feed the rain" is one of those lines that gets etched in your memory.

Carnival of rust symbolises the world. I think it is named so because everything in that carnival rusts after sometime meaning that nothing is permanent, everything is temporary. This applies to the world, people are running after materialistic things instead of pursuing relationships like this lady in the video. Those materialistic things give you happiness just for a short while. In the video you see that as it nears the end, everything in the carnival rusts because it does not bring happiness to the lady anymore or maybe simply because her coins are finished. The man is the last one to shut off. He, according to me, represents loving relationships we have/can have with people, and when the lady turns away from him in the greed of other things, he still waits for her but slowly his devotion fades away. Then the lady realises that those riches mean nothing when compared to a loving relationship with a person (it doesn't necessarily have to be a lover, it can be your mother, father, brother, sister etc.) but now it's too late. (ik it's really messy but I'm really tired rn but I also wanted to put my thoughts out here)

One of the greatest songs ever, period

D'you breathe the name of your saviour In your hour of need? And taste the blame if the flavor Should remind you of greed Of implication, insinuation, and ill-will 'Til you cannot lie still In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil Come closing in for a kill Come feed the rain 'Cause I'm thirsty for your love Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah, feed the rain 'Cause without your love, my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust, oh It's all a game, avoiding failure When true colors will bleed All in the name of misbehavior And the things we don't need I lust for after, no disaster can touch Touch us anymore And more than ever, I hope to never fall Where enough is not the same it was before Come feed the rain 'Cause I'm thirsty for your love Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah, feed the rain 'Cause without your love, my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust Yeah, feed the rain 'Cause I'm thirsty for your love Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah, feed the rain 'Cause without your love, my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust (carnival of rust) Don't walk away Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning Don't walk away Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning Don't walk away Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning Don't walk away Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning

Old songs are something else.. This song is a piece of art.. Such a lovely voice And such a great lyrics and must say the director is so talented. Find this song today evening..it took 13 years to find such a masterpiece..

The reason why these song's views doesn't reach 1 billion is not everyone deserves to listen this magical song

When it's time, we come back here... for some, like myself, this was our introduction to Poets. And it remains my most favorite.

This song is actually my favor and has been it all my life. It has so much history in my life.

Hey stranger you have good taste in music❤️️❤️️

Great to see 16 million people haven't lost taste of classy music

Some songs are not bound by time and this one is one of those.

I was 5 years old and I heard this song. It's so old, I remember listening to this song so much! I still listen to their music to this day. Rock forever 🤟

I don't know why? I can never unlove and forget this song ..The subtle gothic tone , melancholy and sweet pain that it inspires is beyond my words..Thank you

most underrated song and band of all time.

Fantastic song with brilliant visuals...

2024 still visiting this master piece 💋
