NÝ BATTERÍ (engl.) Songtext

von Sigur Ros

NEW BATTERIES

BOUND WITH BARBWIRE
IN MY MOUTH THAT BLEEDS
THE LOCK IS CLOSED
TO MY CAGE

THE BARE-NAKED ANIMAL INSIDE ME
AND A SAVIOUR KNOCKS
THE UNTAMED PUTS IN
NEW BATTERIES

AND CHARGES AGAIN
AND CHARGES AGAIN
AND CHARGES AGAIN
AND CHARGES AGAIN

WILDLY WE SET OFF
INTO THE OBLIVION
UNTIL WE DESTROY ALL
AND RISE AGAIN

BACK AGAIN
BACK AGAIN
BACK AGAIN
AGAIN, BACK
WHERE WE RIDE

BARBWIRED AGAIN
WHICH TEARS OPEN AN OLD WOUND
I've turned to a rusty soul
THE ELECTRICITY IS OUT

--I want to cut--
AND SLICE MYSELF OPEN
--but don't dare--
INSTEAD I TURN MYSELF OFF
ALONE AGAIN
