Time Will Tell

They’re pointing my way

I wake up like I’ve always done
I drink my coffee a day on the run
Pulling out money from threads that I’ve spun
Follow in the patterns of my mothers and fathers before

I run the streets that I know to well, oh
Falling apart, I fell

This sure looks like a different place
I see no trees see no flowers no bees, no
All I see is what we left behind running blind

Shallow seas on the rise

The time will come when the oceans rise
The time will come when the children cry out: Who did this?

Will I look in their eyes and say
It was me point the gun my way

They’re pointing my way

Don’t know how to wake up
Take my coat on and straighten my back cus

It might not be my life down the line
Is it true when they say there’s no time? No

You might think we’re a lifetime apart
It could just be that I’m slow in the start
Time is now want to make it across
Time is now see the dust we do not stand alone

And the slow one will later be fast
The first one will later be last

Pointing my way
They’re pointing my way
 

Let me try it, meet me there
Help me to find the caves we’ve built

Tell me to reach that shore
Leave me to burn
And I will soon be coming your way

Oh, oh, savour the run (2x)

I’m coming your way

Drömmen (The Dream) 

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

If you dream

Then I am dreaming

We could almost climb above the clouds

If you'll forget again

I'll forget myself

Let us change it all around

 

Letting go of everything

Just one breath

See how our words become seeds in the wind

Burning like the forest

Awoken by your hand

Let us change it all around

 

In the morning, lonely

No one has seen me yet

Thousands all around me

On their telephones

Take another pill

Happiness within reach

Another glass to fill

The question I was born with

 

Outside the night is silent

See a truth flowing through

The dream is alive

Don't want to flee, I want to fly

 

All that we have gathered

All that we never talked about

Will fall down upon us

Like rain on the forest

Alla Andra (All the Others)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Like all the others (2x)

Like all the others
You stood on the edge

Like all others
You fell down

Like all the others

Doubtful and dreaming

Like all others
You want more

The lights they flicker distantly
My heart is like a stone in my empty hands

Are you seeking, just as I am
Fumbling in the darkness outside

Like all the others

Fight or flight

Like all others
A lone island

 

Like all the others
You could sink to the bottom

Like all others
Want to escape

The lights they flicker distantly
My heart is like a stone in my empty hands

Are you seeking, just as I am
Fumbling in the darkness outside

Like soil hoping for the rain
I’m longing for place and community

But walls will need to fall down
So dreams could be freed for both of us

Like all the others
In the middle of a crowd

Like all others
The shadow is hidden
 

Like all the others
You keep your distance

Like all others
You are judged

Like all the others (4x)

Luftpalats (Palace in the Air)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Slowly drained of my strength
However I turn, I’m still empty
Our future is long ago, a castle built on sand

Where I’m searching for a place to plant my roots

Give me more, please, give me more
I was 23
Was dropped into the middle
New framing and new rules
Spotting gold on the horizon
Grinding down my youth and my thirst
Give me more, please, give me more

Who could save us then?
Hold the shards in your palm

And say come, let’s stick together

I hear your silent call

Who would sing our song?

Farfars Jord  (Grandfather's Land)

Trees that fell to build this house
Left a seed to grow again
Water longs to dance again
In streams that gave us millions of lives

​

Holes that dug prosperity

Left me thirsty by the sea

Soil broken by my mouth

Asks us to unite as friends
 

Through the air
Through the air, reaching me

Healing words of poetry

Trees that fell to build this house
Left a seed to grow again
Light comes in where cracks where made

What you seek is seeking you, too

Tiden Går För Fort (Time Flies Too Fast)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Time flies too fast
 

Your eyes, they are the same

But your gaze is something new

You see your cracks and wounds

Oh time flies too fast
 

Your hands, they are the same

But markings there are more
I am holding your hand, thinking

That time flies too fast
 

You have landed, you are home
But you dreamt of something different

All that never happened
Oh time flies too fast
 

Your smile is the same
But you smile at something else

It is still you when you smile

And time flies too fast
 

Your eyes, they are the same

But your gaze is something new

Your eyes are the same
And they can still see

Varandra (Each Other)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I can see how it falls apart
The color fades
I’m all naked and all you do is you flee
What I have done, has changed with the tide

My thoughts are dusty
But what is my part in this?

I should speak up
I should say no
See how the earth trembles

When everything is on the verge

They want us to blame each other

Each other
 

Do you see the smoke rising?
The black facades
If you close your eyes, they will still hurt
Closed eyes have a hard time understanding that

Sometimes the sun shines in through the window

​

If you see it, you also see that
Everything is on the verge and we will not blame each other

Each other
We have each other

I see the light in the tunnel
Wandering beings take the unspoken back now, my friend

Many will be more and we will take care for one another

We have each other

Morgondag (Tomorrow)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Give me a tomorrow

Warm on my skin
If you smile, I’ll smile

Thought it was just me

But through the night

The dawn of a new day

Give me another hour

​

I want to stay here
Dawn breathes
The night lets go
Promises of something else

Promises of a new day
 

Take, you can take what you want
There is nothing left here
Forgot what I felt, what I want, what I dreamt

There are no answers here
You can take what you want
I’m the one to walk away (The one to walk away)

I have given all that was left
And a little bit more
Under my skin, who am I, not yours
I want an answer
Gave all that was left
But wherever you go, I go
Wherever you go, I go

You can take what you want
There is nothing left here
Forgot what I felt, what I want, what I dreamt

There are no answers here
You can take what you want
I’m the one to walk away (The one to walk away)

Till Skogen (To the Forest)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
It's snowing ashes! (3x)

It's snowing ashes on the earth without season of winter

It's snowing ashes on the earth but no one sees it

How hard can it be to understand

It must be trees that are burning

Otherwise we wouldn't have to see

Flying ashes in the air turning

But what should we say to our children? (4x)

When they wonder?

Hjältesaga (Hero's Journey)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
This road leads me into debt, weary and tired
Losing confidence
Will reach out for help, only when the body is breaking

The last mile
 

Show me the hero’s journey
Tell me the myth of all the self made men

My hands up towards the sky
That’s where our dreams fly

The world will open up
So burn of my masks old armor

A strange light flickers in the sky

That’s where our dreams fly
 

This road leads me into debt, weary and tired

Losing confidence
Will have to reach for help, to manage this climb

The last mile

​

Show me the hero’s journey
See how our seeds sprout all around

Like wings above
Our dreams fly

Standing in the shadows

Wish I’d dare to step
Into the house
Can’t wait much longer

My body is screaming

Give me the light

That’s where our dreams fly (4x)

Unlearning

Get me off the timeline

Trying to unlearn
Take me to the forest

And leave me there

All day long I'm yearning

Burning candles green

Didn’t see my failures

Caging me

​

I’m looking for myself

Longing for a way

One day I will be free

Free again
 

It’s dripping from my soul
Fill me up again
(The) Sacred story let me down

Searching for my story

Belly of the beast

Underground my fear will

Turn away

Burning through the winter

Wrestled with my needs

Befriend my empty void

And heal that fire

I’m looking for myself

Longing for a way

One day I will be free

Free again
 

It’s dripping from my soul
Fill me up again
(The) Sacred story let me down, oh oh
 

Looking for something changing

I will be free again

Looking for something lasting

Pin me down and swim that sea
