Biography

Finnish metal band, founded in 1993. The band is known for using cellos in the context of heavy metal music, making them probably the first cello metal band. Apocalyptica was formed by classical trained cellists Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Max Lilja and Antero Manninen, and they started by playing Metallica covers as a cello quartet. Later the band covered other metal and rock bands as well, and since their third album, released in 2000, the band has focused mainly on releasing original songs, frequently with guest vocalists. Current line-up: Eicca Toppinen (1993–present) Paavo Lötjönen (1993–present) Perttu Kivilaakso (1995, 1999–present) Former members: Max Lilja (1993–2002) Antero Manninen (1993–1999; touring member 2002–2009, 2017–2018) Mikko Sirén - drums, percussion (2005–2024; touring member 2003–2005) Apocalyptica has covered several well-known metal bands besides [a=Metallica]: [a=Sepultura]: "Refuse/Resist", "Inquisition Symphony"; [a=Faith No More]: "From out of Nowhere"; [a=Pantera]: "Domination"; [a=Rammstein]: "Seemann".

LYRICS

I'm not strong enough to stay away.
Can't run from you,
I just run back to you.
Like a moth I'm drawn in to your flame,
you say my name,
but it's not the same.
You look in my eyes,
I'm stripped of my pride.
And my soul surrenders
and you bring my heart to its knees.
And it's killin' me when you're away,
and I wanna leave and I wanna stay.
And I'm so confused,
so hard to choose
between the pleasure and the pain.
And I know it's wrong and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight
my heart would overrule my mind
and I'm not strong enough to stay away.
I'm not strong enough to stay away.
What can I do...
I would die without you.
In your presence my heart knows no shame.
I'm not to blame.
Cause you bring my heart to its knees.
And it's killin' me when you're away,
and I wanna leave and I wanna stay.
And I'm so confused,
so hard to choose
between the pleasure and the pain.
And I know it's wrong and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight
my heart would overrule my mind
and I'm not strong enough to stay away.
There's nothing I can do,
my heart is chained to you.
And I can't get free,
look what this love's done to me.
