Not that big of a city

This, after all, is not that big of a city
Kotipizza(1), H&M(2), and a few graffiti
No poets societies are found from the bar
One at most read Iltalehti(3) or Seura(4)
Every day I anticipated that something would happen
So that it isn't just the cereals floating in my beer mug in vain
 
The beautiful, white land just a moment ago
is now sheerly just memory
The Central Park on a wintry night
Is just the damp Karhupuisto(5)
 
Here everything is measured by money and fame
I stayed here without them, I guess others got them
I got off at the stop, licking my fingertips with the taste of blood in my mouth
One can drink or eat margarita
One can cry here, but nobody would give a pity
This city killed me yet
refused to die itself
 
I grew a hard shell and enclosed myself inside
It was doomed, after all, if I went with someone
I left behind and was left behind, and then came the new ones
That is what the street would answer if I shouted at it
 
In the echoing corridors at night
Quarrels, screams, blames
Long live the broken but
profound human connections
 
Here everything is measured by money and fame
I stayed here without them, I guess others got them
I got off at the stop, licking my fingertips with the taste of blood in my mouth
One can drink or eat margarita
One can cry here, but nobody would give a pity
This city killed me yet
refused to die itself
 
The beautiful, white land just a moment ago
is now sheerly just memory
The Central Park on a wintry night
Is just the damp Karhupuisto(5)
 
Here everything is measured by money and fame
I stayed here without them, I guess others got them
I got off at the stop, licking my fingertips with the taste of blood in my mouth
One can drink or eat margarita
One can cry here, but nobody would give a pity
This city killed me yet
refused to die itself
 
This city killed me yet
refused to die itself

You asked help with proofreading, here are the lyrics with amendments:

It turns out this wasn't that big of a city
Kotipizza, H&M, and a few graffitis
No poets societies to be found in the bar
At best, people read Iltalehti or Seura
Every day I anticipated for something to happen
so that the cereals wouldn't be floating in my pint for nothing

What was a beautiful white scenery a moment ago
is now only a memory
Central Park on a wintry night,
here you get a damp Karhupuisto

Here everything is measured by money and fame
I was left without, I guess others obtained them
Tasting blood in my mouth, I was left at the stop with empty hands
You can eat, and drink margaritas
You can cry, no one cares around here
This city killed me
but refused to die itself

I grew a hard shell and hid my innermost being
If I went out with someone, it was doomed to fail
I left people and got left myself until there came a new one
What you sow in these streets is what you reap

In the echoing corridors at night
Quarrels, screams, blames
Long live the broken but
profound human connections

Here everything is measured by money and fame
I was left without, I guess others obtained them
Tasting blood in my mouth, I was left at the stop with empty hands
You can eat, and drink margaritas
You can cry, no one cares around here
This city killed me
but refused to die itself

What was a beautiful white scenery a moment ago
is now only a memory
This isn't the Central Park on a wintry night
it's a damp Karhupuisto

Here everything is measured by money and fame
I was left without, I guess others obtained them
Tasting blood in my mouth, I was left at the stop with empty hands
You can eat, and drink margarita
You can cry, no one cares around here
This city killed me
but refused to die itself

This city killed me
but refused to die itself
