| Vaieta, elää erilläni, minimoida tarpeeni - tuntea, miten runneltu sielu alkaa vihdoinkin oieta. | This silence, living cut off this feeling of the battered soul finally beginning to straighten out. |
| Sitten puu oikenee ja kannattaa auton painon tunkin tavoin. | Until the wood straightens and it takes the weight of the car, like a jack. |
| "tai muuten ravistan päätäsi, jotta silmäsi oikenevat." | "'cause I don't want to have to shake your head up to straighten 'em out." |
