Lyrics

Ser ikkje lenger lenger enn til mine hender
Her inne e det ingen som bor lenger
Vender de mot verden, ser at verden vender
Så tenner eg en sigg og brenner opp en bro
Å nei, å jo
Det du har i hodet ditt e det eg har i blodet mitt
Stempler ut og ønsker dagen god natt
Tar et steg og skyter fart
Så hold deg fast, og hold meg hardt
Så skal eg lyse oss opp som to skudd i en vanlig svart natt
Ser ikkje lenger lenger enn til mine føtter
Tråkker opp en sti og river opp mine røtter
Planter et tre for at det skal falle ned
Og bli om til ved i et bål som bor i meg
Å nei, å jo
Det du har i hodet ditt e det eg har i blodet mitt
Stempler ut og ønsker dagen god natt
Tar et steg og skyter fart
Så hold deg fast, og hold meg hardt
Så skal eg lyse oss opp som to skudd i en vanlig svart natt
Kan du, kan du, kan du, kan du se det?
Bygde høye hus for å holde oss nede
Ingenting venter, bare din lille TV
Her skal du bo og der skal du leve
Ser du, ser du meg i satellitter?
Ser du, ser du meg i satellitter?
E det stjerner eller e det satellitter?
Bor vi der?
Nei dessverre, vi bor fortsatt her
E vi der?
Nei dessverre, vi e fortsatt her
Og det som gleder meg e det som dreper meg
Og det som gleder meg e det som dreper deg
Og det som gleder meg e det som dreper oss
Gleder de at det dreper, dreper oss

Lyrics translation

Look no further than to my hands
In here there is no one living anymore
Are they facing the world, seeing that the world is turning
Then I light a sickle and burn up a bridge
Oh no, oh oh
What you have in your head e what I have in my blood
Stamps out and wishes of the day good night
Taking a step and gaining momentum
So stick around, and hold me hard
So I'll light us up like two shots in a normal black night
Look no further further than to my feet
Stepping up a path and tearing up my roots
Plant a tree for it to fall down
And turn into firewood in a campfire that lives in me
Oh no, oh oh
What you have in your head e what I have in my blood
Stamps out and wishes of the day good night
Taking a step and gaining momentum
So stick around, and hold me hard
So I'll light us up like two shots in a normal black night
Can you, can you, can you, can you see it?
Built tall houses to keep us down
Nothing awaits, just your little TV
Here you will live and there you will live
Do you see, do you see me in satellites?
Do you see, do you see me in satellites?
E it stars or E it satellites?
Do we live there?
No unfortunately, we still live here
E WE there?
No unfortunately, we e still here
And what pleases me e What kills me
And what pleases me e What kills you
And what pleases me e What kills us
Do they rejoice that it kills, kills us
