Fjöll Í Austri Fagurblá
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Fjöll í austri fagurblá
freista dalabarnsins.
Ungur fylgir æskuþrá
upp til jökulhjarnsins.
Sveimað heimahögum frá
hef ég vors á degi,
víða stíða þræddi þá
þunga hraunavegi.
Heiðin breiða hugumkær
hvetur viljann ofar.
Leiðin seiðir, fráum fær,
fögrum sýnum lofar.
Gangan sækist öruggt enn
urðarróti móti.
Einatt hlutu heiðamenn
höggvinn fót á grjóti.
Hver, sem ofar á að ná,
einskis metið getur
þótt í fangið fái sá
fjúk og hretið betur.
Anda heitum yndi nóg
unaðsreitir geyma.
Seinna leitar þráin þó
þinna sveita heima.

Wonderful blue mountains in the East
luring the children of the dale.
Following the juvenile longing
Up to the glacier’s top.
Floating I was from my home
On a spring day
Small paths I went over
Pathless lava.
The beloved wide heathland
Spured my will to get up high
The enchanting way, safe to walk,
Promising a great view.
Safe the walk goes on
Through raw rocks.
Always wanderer got injured
On this rocks.
Everyone who can get higher
This will not bother
Even when hard wind blows in his face
And hail storms are coming down.
The plagued mind will be rewarded
By the loveliness offered by resting places.
But later the yearning calls
you back to your home.
Steindór Andersen (singing) and Sigur Rós, from the album "Rimur" (2001)
Leaning against the wall
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Your eyes are cold
I know you'll tell me all
Not to fall I lean against the wall
I'm on the floor
Not listening anymore
I should have known
The things to which you're prone
(You cross your arms
And tell no lies
A thousand thoughts run
Through my mind
A thousand words that I don't need
I never thought you could do this)
I should have known
The things to which you're prone
(You cross your arms
And tell no lies
A thousand thoughts run
Through my mind
A thousand words that I don't need
I never thought you could do this)
Your eyes are cold
I know you'll tell me all
Not to fall
I lean against the wall

I would suffer less, if you took my hand
lead me through the garden of time
the flowers we'll pick - they will be mine for a while
We'll be a fountain of youth
our waters showing infinite truth..

The Lake
Sunday, March 1, 2009
In youth's spring, it was my lot
To haunt of the wide earth a spot
To which I could not love the less
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound
And the tall trees that towered around
But when the night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot as upon all
And the wind would pass me by
In its stilly melody
My infant spirit would awake
To the terror of the lone lake
My infant spirit would awake
To the terror of the lone lake
Yet that terror was not fright
But a tremulous delight
And a feeling undefined
Springing from a darkened mind
Death was in that poisoned wave
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his dark imagining
Whose wildering though could even make
An Eden of that dim lake
But when the night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot as upon all
And the wind would pass me by
In its stilly melody
My infant spirit would awake
To the terror of the lone lake
My infant spirit would awake
To the terror of the lone lake
Springing from a darkened mind
So lovely was the loneliness
In youth's spring, it was my lot
In its stilly melody
An Eden of that dim lake
An Eden of that dim lake
Lone, lone, lonely...

We checked out all the prophecies. We studied fat philosophies.
We made a graph... We chanted ooooommmmm
"ommni Padhni Disney Iceman Acme leary Marx Illuminatus Christus Clarke..."
We'd watch for saucers in the dark. We'd hunt lost arks;
tried splitting quarks - when all we wanted was a Mark.
Just a something proving something's out there.
Are you listening? No chance.
There never is a way without a why. Do we return after we die?
Is life a circle? Are we hurtled headfirst into space?
Will we wind up as the bunch of grapes that makes the wine...
that Christ exchanged for water. Are we blood? Are we lime? Do you live?
We need a sign - is anybody there? Are you listening? No chance.
And still the statues cry, the queen bee flies...
we try our damndest to explain the reasons why and how and when and where...
we're getting nowhere. No doors deep inside this corridor
of space and time... if space and time exist.
Oh we'll persist, if we exist. Are you listening? No chance..
The Legendary Pink Dots, from the album "Shadow Weaver" (1992)
Where I end and You begin. (The Sky is falling in.)
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin
And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin
I'm up in the clouds
I'm up in the clouds
And I can't and I can't come down
I can watch and not take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone
X'll mark the place
Like the parting of the waves
Like a house falling in the sea
In the sea
I will eat you alive
and There'll be no more lies
Radiohead, from the album "Hail to the Thief" (2003)
The Inmost Night
Thursday, February 19, 2009
..when i stand there at the piled bloodcamp
again i flick open the inner eye
if you too open your eyes you shall see
the entire sky filled with weeping angels
the entire heaven filled with weeping angels
and the centralsun and sum of all
God too weeping..

You can never get lost (when you’ve nowhere to go)
Monday, February 9, 2009
I know nothing of tides
and I’m confused by the stars
but you can never get lost
when you’ve nowhere to go.
And I’ve got space in my heart
for the next twenty years
so don’t think there’s a rush -
just come on over sometime.
And I will haunt myself blind,
only sleep when I’m bored.
And I will talk into space.
And I will worry this house.
And I’ve got space in my heart
for the next twenty years
so don’t think there’s a rush -
just come on over sometime..

..Why I have failed?
And all I could have been
And am not
And all I had hoped for
And were not
And everything I hoped
And hoped and hoped and hoped for
I prayed in the morning
And I prayed in the evening
And I got not
From the rotgut God
When all the world starts to shiver
And shimmer and shake all around me
And all the world light was piecemeal and peaceless
This is the atomic pain of the world
The molecular tears
The final crystalline structure of misery
That wind it's way around the wooden snakejawed growing spine
Of the worlds..
Current 93 from "Of Ruine Or Some Blazing Starre" (1994)
Fade out again
Friday, January 2, 2009
This machine will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Know How
Wednesday, December 3, 2008
Riding on this know-how
Never been here before
Peculiarly entrusted
Possibly that's all
Is history recorded?
Does someone have a tape?
Surely, I'm no pioneer
Constellations stay the same
Just a little bit of danger
When intriguingly
Our little secret
Trusts that you trust me
'Cause no one will ever know
That this was happening
So tell me why you listen
When nobody's talking
What is there to know?
All this is what it is
You and me alone
Sheer simplicity
What is there to know?
All this is what it is
You and me alone
Sheer simplicity
What is there to know?
All this is what it is
You and me alone
Sheer simplicity

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

I can’t get on. I can’t get on.
Because I live in the past and it’s too strong.
I can’t get on. I can’t get on. Because I live in the past and it’s too strong.
And the present is imperfect. And the future, well, it’s conditional.
And the past’s a foreign land that I’m trying to understand.
And all the girls are framed in the order that they came.
And the best friends do their worst to remind me that I’m cursed.
And I’d just like to say that I’m sorry to everyone
that just wants to get on, that just wants to get on but I...

All the accidents that happen
Follow the dot
Coincidence makes sense
Only with you
You don't have to speak
I feel
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved and you push me up to this:
...state of emergency...
...how beautuiful to be!...
...state of emergency...
...is where i want to be...
All that no-one sees
You see
What's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts you heal
Deep inside of me
You don't have to speak - i feel
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Confuse
Then the riddle gets solved and you push me up to this:
...state of emergency...
...how beatuiful to be!...
...state of emergency...
...is where i want to be...
...state of emergency...
...state of emergency...
