Lyrics by: Tero Aalto
Snowclone is a Finnish duo that produces pop music with a strong Nordic flavor. The band was founded in 2007. It consists of Anna Sipilä, a vocalist with a unique voice that grants Snowclone its signature sound, and Tero Aalto, who takes care of all the rest.
Tero is a language technologist who has been writing songs for over two decades, not only for Snowclone but also for movies, theater etc. Tero’s first HCSC was back in 2002, and since 2011 he has participated every year.
“Red Light Stop Sign is a story of a problematic relationship that the protagonist is trying to break away from. She’s realized the situation for a long time but had over and over again ended up to forgive and accept her fate. Will the light remain red this time?” says Tero.
Snowclone won the competition in 2012. Welcome back and good luck!
Lyrics:
Evening comes with no sign of you
No surprise to me you failed to show
Ever thought how deep you could break a heart?
At least one that’s so in love with you
You have chosen your side
On the road open wide
I’m not taking you back
No more playing in the stairway
Lean against the wall and call it a day
No more waking up in self-hate
Doesn’t matter if you call it a date
I can’t be your crutch
By now you know that much
Red light stop sign
Hold it back from me, go on
Should I stay for yet another day?
If I do you’ll leave me anyway
Come what may – I see you walking away
No matter what I would say
Every time you have let me down
I’ve been gladly crawling back to you
Have I learned a thing from the past? – I doubt
Something tells me I’ll be there for you
Though it tasted so good
It just made me feel bad
Better off without you
No more playing in the stairway
Lean against the wall and call it a day
No more waking up in self-hate
Doesn’t matter if you call it a date
I can’t be your crutch
By now you know that much
Red light stop sign
Hold it back from me, go on
No more playing in the stairway
Lean against the wall and call it a day
No more waking up in self-hate
Doesn’t matter if you call it a date
I can’t be your crutch
By now you know that much
Red light stop sign
Hold it back from me, go on
Red light stop sign
