MÁNASEGL
vei mær
stillið sum kámaður spegil
stúrin eg bíði og tegi
hvar er mítt snjóhvíta mánasegl
sótsvørt
leiðin inn í mína iðran
alt sum eg læt vera ógjørt
bjarga mær, blás í mítt mánasegl
herð á
spenn mínar mótlítlu tankar
náttin so blaktrandi blonk, tá
vónin hon fyllir mítt mánasegl
sigli
sveimi í ljómandi loftbrá
morgunin nýborin lívstrá
silvurlitt dúkar mítt mánasegl
MOONSAIL
who am I
the calm is like a dim mirror
anxious I wait and keep silent
where is my snowy white moonsail
pitch black
the path into my regrets
all I left undone
save me, fill up my moonsail
intensify
stretch my faint-hearted thoughts
the night will gleam so bright, when
hope fills my moonsail
I sail on
I roam in a blazing mirage
in the newborn zest of the morning
silvery swells my moonsail

Let It Come

LET IT COME
sometimes
I overthink
the most simple things
I go blind
I don’t see
the solutions in front of me
but today
the sky looks different
I am wide awake
my heart is quivering
let it come, bring it on
there is something in the air
it’s liberating
I can feel it moving
this time it’s coming for me
something I’ve been waiting for
I can’t explain it
I can feel it moving
this time I’m ready for it
It’s time
to trust
the voice in me
synchronize
every part of me
to this moment
today
the sky looks different
I am wide awake
my heart is quivering
let it come, bring it on
there is something in the air
it’s liberating
I can feel it moving
this time it’s coming for me
something I’ve been waiting for
I can’t explain it
but I know I´m changing
this time I’m ready for it

Sleep On It

SLEEP ON IT
too many riddles to crack
too much load on your back
so many unanswered questions
and so many smart opinions
if only I could turn it around
whatever is keeping me down
it´s never too late to change my ways
make all the pieces fall into place
where do I go?
let me sleep on it
let me sleep on it
only for tonight
to clear my mind
when I wake up
I’ll have an answer
just give me time
and I will find
a way
all this heavy load on my back
old habits from the past
everything I needed so bad before
is it of use to me anymore
can I let it all go?
let me sleep on it
just let me sleep on it
only for tonight
to clear my mind
when I wake up
I’ll have an answer
just give me time
and I will find
a way

Hands

HANDS
morning has come
alive and ready
beside my love
fingers drawing
letters on your skin
tongue tied
oh mi amore
time is hanging
safe from harm
steady your heart
and I’m defenceless
every time
hold me sweet
please
wrap me in your hands
don’t ever leave me
nothing like your hands
lying in art
shapes of our bodies
melting, begging
take me back in
can’t get enough
you take command
I’ll be your lady
heaven sent
love no another
all mine
it’s just enough
hold me sweet
please
wrap me in your hands
don’t ever leave me
nothing like your hands

Nothing To Fear

NOTHING TO FEAR
here I am
alone with myself
on the other side
of my imagination
I was lost
now I’m found
somewhere in between
love and danger
if you see me weeping
I´m right here
see me weepy
don’t disappear
stay here with me, my love
there is nothing to fear
if you think I’m freaky
don’t run away
you know you need me
time and again
we carry each other, my love
we got nothing to fear
here we are
outside our comfort zone
the air’s so cold
it tastes like freedom
don’t let go
you are the bravest boy I know
this is almost happiness
it’s almost destruction

Truth

TRUTH
you’re a stranger in the streets
I see you every day
but we don’t stop when we meet
I don’t know your name
you’re the book I want to read
you’re the song that makes me cry
and the quiet conversation
that changed my mind
I turn to you
just to see the truth
just to see the truth
we are strangers
in this world together
looking for an answer
you’re my only shelter
love is all that matters
you’re the unsolved mystery
you’re the gap between two stars
and the loneliness that moves in me
my companion
in the dark
we are strangers in the dark
I turn to you
just to see the truth
just to see the truth
we are strangers
in this world together
just looking for an answer
you’re my only shelter
love is all that matters

Skyscrapers

SKYSCRAPERS
I stretch my limbs
like a rubber band
grasping for something
just out of reach
on these narrow streets
from where I stand
I’m barely breathing
it’s no place for me
I want to get beyond
these skyscrapers
I want to get beyond
these skyscrapers
I do it for you
I am moving so slowly
I have seen it in my visions
I have felt it in my bones
some truths you just have to
find on your own
my mind is my prison
my body is my home
my heart knows the secret
that keeps me holding on
I want to get beyond
these skyscrapers
I know that freedom waits
somewhere behind
those skyscrapers
I do it for you
I am moving so slowly

Only Love
03:42

ONLY LOVE
city lights
fade into black
I watch them go
out of my life
deep inside
I knew it from the start
I was always alone
by your side
oh I heard it
you once said
here’s my heart
put a bomb inside it
oh only love
only love
can do this to you
let it all go
it’s for the best
there is nothing to say
well nothing except
we were too young
our hearts nearly burst
to find real love
you got to lose it first
oh I heard it
you once said
here’s my heart
put a bomb inside it
oh only love
only love
can do this to you
city lights
watch them go
it’s like a video show
in slow motion
if you see me cry
I know you know why
I never liked
to say goodbye
if you see me cry
I know you know why
I never liked
to say goodbye

This City

THIS CITY
all this running around
keeping busy
in this city
that’s never sleeping
it’s like a movie
like a movie repeating
feeling dizzy
with my eyes on the tv
I keep my feet
steady on the ground
inside the wheel
I’m turning upside down
I’m gonna wake up
early in the morning
start packing
my most precious belongings
I need to go
I need to go away
on a holiday
somewhere near the ocean
I will keep my feet
steady on the ground
Inside the wheel
as I’m turning upside down
I’m leaving
this city
I don’t know
when I’ll be back

Patience

PATIENCE
patience
when did you become a stranger
I hardly know you anymore
patience
if only we could be together
won’t you come knocking on my door
I want to walk with you again
even if I have to wait
I just want to walk with you again
tell me it’s not too late
patience
there’s a shadow in the mirror
it’s not who I want to be
patience
I see you in my mother
she never lost her faith in me
I want to walk with you again
even if I have to wait
I just want to walk with you again
tell me it’s not too late
everything I thought I knew
is fading in the sand
there is nothing left to hold onto
every time I lose my ground
I reach out for your hand
no one else can save me now but you
I want to walk with you again

STIRDUR SAKNUR
andar aldusig
súgar sál mín
anir afturskin
sárur saknur
bíða, blás í keym
skjálvtar vón mín
bjálva kaldan dreym
stirdur saknur
alt sum var
fór við tær
THE LOSS
the swell of the sea breathes
my soul moves slowly in the waves
an afterglow burns weakly
an aching loss
wait, try to keep warm
my hope shivers
pack up a cold dream
a loss chilled to the bone
everything there was
went away with you

GULLSPUNNIN
tá eg sá teg reka burt
í kyrruni
misti eg meg sjálva inst
í kvirruni
fest í mítt kjøt
er tráanin
fløkt í mín huga
væntanin
gullspunnin øll
mín døkka sál
glitrandi aleina
um tú aftur kemur heim
hygg inn til mín
víðopin mín hjartahurð
eitt pláss til tín
fest í mítt kjøt
er tráanin
fløkt í mín huga
væntanin
gullspunnin øll
mín døkka sál
glitrandi aleina
eg sá teg reka burt
í kyrruni
misti meg sjálva inst
í kvirruni
um tú kemur aftur
hygg inn til mín
eg bíði eftir tær
glitrandi aleina
COCOONED IN GOLD
when I saw the current take you
on the calm sea
I lost myself at the core
of the silence
tied to my flesh
is the longing
tangled in my mind
the expectation
cocooned in gold
my whole dim soul
glittering alone
if you return back home
make a call on me
the door of my heart is wide open
a room for you
tied to my flesh
is the longing
tangled in my mind
the expectation
cocooned in gold
my whole dim soul
glittering alone
I saw the current take you
on the calm sea
lost myself at the core
of the silence
if you do return
make a call on me
I’m waiting for you
glittering alone
