Chorus 1

Is there something wrong with my eyes

When I see your face in the clouds

I hope you'll come to me

Though I know you're someone else's

And no longer mine

I scream

But nobody hears when I scream

Into the headwind

Verse 1

Wherever I look

I see figures of you

I know I'm probably thinking too much

What was the point of this

I have to go in a different direction

Try to forget

I need something completely different

To reach for

Prechorus 1

When we fall

Somewhere where there's no light

I was supposed to have a big family, two houses

A dog, a cat, and we wouldn't live in the city, no

But this picture only lives in my dreams

So inside my head the world spins upside down

So much sh*t in front of me I can't see anything anymore

I decided a long time ago I won't cry for another moment

Chorus 2

Is there something wrong with my eyes

When I see your face in the clouds

I hope you'll come to me

Though I know you're someone else's

And no longer mine

I scream

But nobody hears when I scream

Into the headwind

Hey

Verse 2

Some time has passed now

About a year and a half

Still I miss you sometimes

When I wonder if you think of me

What's wrong with this world of ours?

Can you even dare to fall in love?

Back then I thought we'd be together forever

That the wounds would heal

But you're not coming back

Bridge

The deeper I sink

The more I think of you, the more I fall apart

I can't understand how we ruined this

I can't understand why you didn't want a ring or a diamond

We hated this place so we got what we ordered

We thought we were forever when we giggled in that park

And nobody ever made me scream like this, I walk against the wind

Chorus 3

Is there something wrong with my eyes

When I see your face in the clouds

I hope you'll come to me

Though I know you're someone else's and no longer mine

I scream

But nobody hears when I scream

Into the headwind

kurottaa — to reach for / to stretch out for

Kurottaa means 'to reach for' or 'to stretch out for'. It's a beautiful and evocative verb that implies effort and aspiration, often towards something distant or difficult to grasp.

In the song, the artist sings, "Mä tarviin ihan jotain muuta, jota kohti kurottaa" (I need something else to reach for). This word perfectly captures the feeling of trying to move on from a past love, seeking a new direction or hope to strive towards, making it both poignant and inspiring.

Have you ever felt like you're shouting, but no one can hear you? That's the powerful feeling at the heart of Mikael Gabriel's song "Vastatuuleen," which literally means "Into the Headwind." The song is a raw and emotional look at heartbreak, describing the struggle of trying to move on from a relationship that meant everything. The singer feels like he's screaming his pain against a strong wind—a lonely and hopeless effort.

He paints a vivid picture of his loss, remembering the future they had planned with a big family and a house outside the city. Now, even after a year and a half, he can't escape her memory, seeing her face in the clouds and wondering how they let their love fall apart. The song captures that universal feeling of being stuck in the past, walking "against the wind" while trying to find a new direction.
