Medúlla lyrics

it may not always be so
and i say that if your lips
which i have loved
should touch another’s
and your dear strong fingers clutch her heart
as mine in time not far away

if on another’s face your sweet hair lay
in such a silence as i know
or such great writhing words as, uttering overmuch
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay

if this should be, i say if this should be

The nerves are sending shimmering signals
All through my fingers
The veins support
Blood that gushes impulsively towards
Is the triumph of a heart that gives all
That gives all
The triumph of a heart that gives all
That gives all
The stubborn trunks of these legs of mine
Serve as pathways for my favourite fuel
Heading upwards towards my kidneys
(That celebrate)

there is yet another one
that follows me
where ever i go
and supports me
this tooth is warmth-like
and these teeth are a ladder up to his mouth
these teeth are a ladder that i walk
that you can walk too if you want
if you want up to the mouth
the mouth’s cradle
up to the mouth’s cradle
he always has a hope for me
always sees me when nothing else
and everyone have left

the pleasure is all mine
to get to be the generous one
is the strongest stance
the pleasure is all mine
to finally let go
and defend me
we float

who gives most
who gives most
who gives most

the pleasure is all mine
women like us
we strengthen most
host-like
when in doubt give

when in doubt give
when in doubt give

where is the line with you?
where is the line with you?
where is the line with you?
where is the line with you?

my purse wide open
you ask again
i see you trying to
cash into accounts
everywhere

where is the line with you?
where is the line with you?
where is the line with you?
where is the line with you?

i want to be flexible
i want
to go out
of my way for you

his embrace, a fortress
it fuels me
and places
a skeleton of trust
right beneath us
bone by bone
stone by stone
if you ask yourself
patiently and carefully:
who is it? who is it?

who is it that never lets you down?
who is it that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are going around
now they’re handing it over
handing it over

he demands a closeness

it’s tricky when
you feel someone
has done something
on your behalf

it’s slippery when
your sense of justice
murmurs underneath
and is asking you:

how am i going to make it right?

with a palm full of stars
i throw them like dice
repeatedly
i shake them like dice
and throw them on the table
repeatedly
repeatedly
until the desired constellation appears
and i ask myself:

show me forgiveness
for having lost faith in myself
and let my own interior up
to inferior forces
the shame is endless
but if soon start forgiveness
the girl might live

Bærinn minn, bæerinn minn og inn
Sefur sæll í kyrr
Fellur mjöll hljótt í húmi á jör
Grasi mitt, grasi mitt og itt geymir mold til vors
Hjúfrar lind, leynt vi brekkurót
Vakir eins og vi
Lífi trútt, kyrrlátt kalda vermsl
Augum djúps útí himinfyrr starir stillt um nótt
Langt í burt vakir veröl stór
Grimmum töfrum tryllt

when will it be time do document, do it now!
this submarine behaviour, do it now!
when time?
to return
do it now
do it now
shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
shake us now
do it now!
do it now!

shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
do it now!
do it now!

OCEANIA

One breath away
from Mother Oceania
your nimble feet make prints
in my sand

You have done
good for yourselves
since you left my wet embrace
and crawled ashore

Every boy is a snake is a lily
every pearl is a lynx is a girl

Sweet like harmony
made into flesh
you dance by my side
children sublime

You show me continents
- I see the islands
you count the centuries
