Ways of the Earth
I’m always somewhere
I’m always now
just like the water, floating around
life keeps on changing, circling about
hopefully swirling upwards
let the ways of the earth shape me
nothing can change what I am
watching destruction, it’s everywhere
quick-fix seduction, smoke in the air
I’m really scared of the cost
I’m really scared of the cost
let the ways of the earth shape me
nothing can change what I am
let the ways of the earth break me
nothing can change what I am
Obsessions
I know I’m lost
but does it really matter?
does anybody know their place at all?
I’m moving on but not sure if it is forward
just following the footprints in the snow
now it’s all clear now
really I can see now as I’m running after you
I’m ignoring my life
really there’s no meaning
just running after you
carry on, running from my thoughts now
lose them in the sky with the stars
nothing’s good, nothing’s ever worth it
it all just makes you hurt in the end
now it’s all clear now
really I can see now as I’m running after you
I’m ignoring my life
really there’s no meaning
I’m just running after you
it’s alright, it’s ok
There’s nothing there anyway
it’s alright, it’s ok, some way
I know, this time I won’t let go
it will be better
before I forget, don’t look back
De-Sign
the night has come now I’m alone
learn my thoughts, learn my soul
I’ve been through flames now I am a stone
in my time, in my hour
my finest hour
show me what is this love inside of me
is it a part of the design?
am I really safe?
show me what is this fear inside of me
is it a part of the design?
am I really sane?
I’ve done as I’m told & I’ve done as I please
now nobody is allowed to speak
learn my thoughts and learn my soul
I don’t sleep, I don’t eat
I’m only here now
show me what is this love inside of me
is it a part of the design?
am I really sane?
show me what is this fear inside of me
is it a part of the design?
am I really safe?
Sefurðu engillinn minn?
Nei ekki núna amma, ég verð að gera þetta fyrst
103 Mentality
will you always be there watching over me?
will you? I asked a long time ago
’cause it’s hurting, now it’s hurting from the deepest root
I’m lost in a maze of my own thoughts
sometimes I start to miss myself
what am I supposed to do then?
can’t control anything in this storm
it starts to spin around and carries me to the unknown
take me by the hand
walk me up the stairs
with angels and candle lights
everything that I like
but something follows me
and kicks me to the floor
I try to call for help
but you already walked away
I’m breathing, at least it feels like I am breathing now
but how should I know, I’m just a boy in a room
I’m feeling, I guess I’m feeling something everyday
but how would I know, I’m just a boy anyway
something’s behind me
kicks me to the floor
I try to call for help
but you already…
it pulls me by the hair
and throws me down the stairs
it leaves me shuts the door
leave! cannot take anymore
I shiver to my core
ready for the war
or as much as a boy could be
’cause you already went away
Jörðin
ég sé, ég heyri
ég finn, ég heyri
Bedroom
turn out the light in the bedroom
I’ll switch the TV off
I don’t want to be distracted
this I gotta say:
you are more than “someone”
you’re more than someone I love
you warm me up more than fire
and fire I’ve always adored
but I am only me
only you can see
what that means
I am you in me
remember when I met you?
in a room full of emptiness
when you spoke I shivered
sure that the room would explode
right then I got caught in your eyes
and I couldn’t say that much
I was shy, afraid and frozen
but love you’ve sure warmed me up
but I am only me
but only you can see
what that means
I am you…
as long as there’s blood in my heart
I’m never letting go
as long as there’s air in my lungs
I’m never letting go
as long as blood bleeds from my heart
I’m never letting go
I am you in me
Veiðileysa
a midnight walk by the castle on the shore
the black one that stands in the sea
since I came here I’ve been growing into a child
the child I was meant to be
the sea is, it’s calling me
and the sky is dancing
it plays with everything
the mountain kings
and the ocean queen
yeah this place has everything
so beautiful that’s it’s just like in a dream
but still has that nightmare feel
I don’t know what it is about this place
I’ve never felt before
the sea is, it’s calling me
and the sky is dancing
it plays with everything
the mountain kings
and the elves’ queen
yeah this place has everything
it’s calling me
and the sky is dancing
it watches with everything
the mountain kings
and the elves’ queen
oh this place has everything
The Hanged Man
I’ve only been singing
I don’t write, I don’t speak
I don’t really care anymore
first it was depressing not being able to speak
but really I don’t care anymore
I don’t even hear spoken words
spoken words
everything is music to me
if you can’t fit your speech in a 3 minute song
don’t bother talking shit to me
I waste my time in
not doing anything
this world I call a home
a world of my songs
this is how I feel
gloomy on the inside
but glorious still
I went a couple of years, 20 years so to speak
never saying anything real
but now I hear myself in my head every day
it all becomes very clear
nothing gets through with words alone
you have to be able to mean
I’m not saying that I can’t
I just lack the will
and music is fine with me
I waste my time in
not doing anything
this world I call a home
a world of my songs
Fairy Tale / After I’m Gone
I can’t stop what I think
can’t stop what I feel
something really deep
white or brighter still
I’ve never been this strong
I’ve never been this old
living in a fairy tale
walking in the sky
walking mountains high
flirting with the stars
imagine that we fly
if we do not care
if they laugh or stare
we’re living in a fairy tale
we live in our own fairy tale
there always is a better way
but if it would change
it wouldn’t be the same
there always is a better word
but when you speak
it’s just good enough
where should I begin?
it’s hard to fit it all in
this is the new part
the one where true love starts
this comes from the deepest feelings in my heart
you came from a dream
you came from the sky
and you’re my fairy tale
now everything is so bright
nothing will ever make my heart grow black again
the world may change its course
the world might go away
I don’t even care
I’ll love you just the same
I love you even more than I can really say
but I may fuck things up
arrogant little fuck
I may be a child
sometimes way too wild
I may do what seems to be wasting our time
but if I shall be gone
listen to my song
and know how much it hurts
not letting you know
’cause I love you even more than I can ever show
after I am dead
you’ll still be feeling your man
like I do with dad, I hear him every day
’cause real will never never fade away
*hvernig get ég látið eins og þú sért ekki til
þessi orð munu ávalt standa
ég elska bara þig…
(* sampled from “Ég Elska Bara Þig” by Rabbi
lyrics: Rafn R. Jónsson)
Agliz ft. Lizark (music: Arnar G. & Gísli Jón, lyrics: Gísli Jón)
inside of me there’s a child that bleeds
for a wasted time
for a waster life
inside of me
I can not bleed
for all the pain
for all the shame
it’s hard to die and criticize
everything you left behind
I can not feel
I can not bleed
when all that is left is you and me
free your mind
say goodbye
forever is tomorrow
Funerals
this is the occasion
that I never wished for
god I’m getting used to this
god I’m getting immune to this
travel across the ocean
to say my last goodbyes
but I’ll be seeing you someday
I’l be feeling you
sleep little girl
the rest is just a cool sail
sleep now little girl
the rest is just a cool sail
I will water all the flowers
you’ll give them earth
leave the illness in the coffin
let it turn to dirt
travel across the ocean
to say my last goodbyes
but I’ll be seeing you bloom again
I’ll be seeing you bloom
