	~~{{stub}}~~		== Trivia ==
			* The line ''Into the darkness on we ride'' is a callback to ''We keep driving into the night'' from [[Late Goodbye]].
			* A "mental Versailles" could be either a "mind palace" - a concept popularised by the BBC's "Sherlock" tv series - or given Versailles' history, a mental prison, like in the MV for [[Lift]]. [[Marko Saaresto\|Marko]]'s situation in a box in both the MV and lyric video for Drama for Life could suggest a combination of the two.
