Details

Description

I wrote some lyrics, following the melody of this masterpiece by Ólafur Arnalds.

Music: Ólafur Arnalds - Lag fyrir Ömmu
Text: masquerade

'Untitled'

The unknown
a comfort zone
darkness is fear
there’s nothing here

And I fight again
this fallen self
this selfish cell

Love unspent
a night’s spell
still in the sea
your memory

And I fight again
this fallen self
empty shell

Just to lose again
this fallen self
this almost self

And all the silence is breaking me
the absent voice, the melody
the notes are hiding in the dark
escaping always from the heart

And if I hide into this cave
will you come save me like a wave
the music stopped, the pride is gone
can’t find my way back home alone

This street is narrow now it seems
I still don’t know what all this means
I’ve given everything I had
you always wanted more than that

Your warmth against my lifeless skin
raising this wall protecting me
wearing this mask, I’ll be alright
why don’t you dream with me tonight?
