The song "Lumi Teki Enkelin Eteiseen" by Mikael Gabriel tells a story about a difficult and tragic childhood experience. The lyrics describe the protagonist's parents divorcing in the 1990s and, around the same time, the father passing away from a heart attack. This leads to the protagonist facing hardships at school, having their heart broken, and feeling alone in their struggles. The chorus repeats the phrase "Ja vesi oli mustaa, äiti kulki mustissaan" which translates to "And the water was black, mother walked in black." It suggests the dark and heavy atmosphere surrounding the family's grief. The father is also depicted as being drunk, possibly indicating the protagonist's disappointment and frustration with their behavior. The line "Lumi teki enkelin eteiseen" translates to "Snow made an angel in the hallway." This can be seen as a metaphor for finding a moment of innocence and beauty during a difficult time, or it could symbolize the fleeting nature of happiness amidst the darkness. The song also touches on themes of struggling to believe in God and questioning the meaning of life. The protagonist reflects on the importance of finding happiness and feeling understood, even if it is challenging. There is a recognition that these struggles are not solely the protagonist's, as mentioned in the line "Se on tuttu monelle meistä" ("It is familiar to many of us"). Overall, "Lumi Teki Enkelin Eteiseen" portrays a somber and reflective narrative of a person's tumultuous upbringing and the quest for solace and understanding amidst personal struggles and loss.
