lyrics

Come closer (swedish lyrics further down)

rootless and distracted
this body, more of a cage
my longing enclosed

metaphysics
haven't led to anything in a long time
since my childhood separated
from the world i see and move within

come closer
come here
come closer
come near

i've a vague recollection
of thoughts that rose
far beyond spaces wide
and that i had another father
but i can't relate to it anymore

i remember how you said the first time
you saw me you thought
about the ocean
and that i came towards you like a brisk wind

is there anyone here who also teared apart
hundreds of pictures
and just as many contexts
and been set free

come closer
come here
come closer
come near

your dad came along with the thunder
to pick us up from the beach
pointed out the tornado
five hundred meters out

thought it could have been bigger
it looked so asinine out there
unable to stir anything up


Kom närmre

rotlös och disträ
kroppen mer av ett galler
min längtan innesluten

metafysiken
har inte lett någon vart på länge
sen min barndom separerad
från den värld jag ser och rör mej i

kom närmre, kom hit
kom närmare, kom hit

har ett vagt minne av att tankar steg
långt bortom rymder vida
och att jag hade en annan far
men jag kan inte relatera till det mer

minns hur du sa att första gången
du såg mej tänkte du på havet
att jag kom emot dej
som en uppfriskande vind

finns här nån som också trasat sönder
ett hundratal bilder
med tillhörande sammanhang
och blitt fri

kom närmre, kom hit
kom närmare, kom hit

din farsa kom samtidigt med åskan
plockade upp oss från stranden
pekade ut tromben
femhundra meter ut

tyckte den kunde vart större
såg så enfaldig ut
där ute utan att kunna
ruska om nånting
