Lyrics
Around the Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say you just want to stand there and dim out
Just going to root there in space
So because there ain't nobody really joked about your inventory
Subcelestial articles from neutral stations
From the game participants and by far most lineal family
Break strike, pattern stripe, break to face
When you get so quiet and depressed, hidden
And I drop away again
Can't understand, I want to die again
I'm out here in the swell
Getting fucked up trying to cure you
It's so draining
Really, how can I help if you won't talk to me?
Thought you were a runaway
Not just a cliché
(norwegian part)
Eg har aldri tenkt meg sanningi
Som ein husfugl
Men um ho so vore
Kan du godt strjuka henne med fjøri
Og ikkje jaga henne upp i ei krå
Til ho snur ugleaugo og klør imot deg
Andre held sanningi for
Ei kald knivsegg
Ho er både
Yin og yang
Ormen i graset
Og fuglekongen som lettar frå ørni
Når hu trur seg høgst
Eg har òg set
When you get so quiet and depressed, hidden
And I drop away again
Can't understand, I want to die again
I'm splashing in the waves
Getting fucked up trying to cure you
It's so draining
How can I help if you won't talk to me?
I thought you were a special friend
I'm your friend
