Engle Eller Dæmoner [English translation]

This is not reality TV, nope let me tell you

You see, my reality is a show in it self

And when you'r so far up there might be a long way down

So I'm just trying to make the champagne last

Yeah, I wanna celebrate life and take nothing for granted

But the problem is that everything has a darker side

And sometimes I'm wondering

If the light at the end of the tunnel

Was nothing but an oncoming train

Even us grownups also get a little scared

Cause life is so short and happiness is not long

But I look up and try to thank him

And promise to go all the way as in a walking race

It'll always be all or nothing

There is no tour guide, I'll end where destiny is taking me

So now I'm flying, no wings, without wind

On my way out through of this maze

Cause sometimes things are tightening like a ring

And I am fumbling around, I'm not handy

But the music is playing and tells me

That I'll find my way back home

Yir, I'll be back

Thoughts that are jumping like Jack-from-the-box

Too much alcohol, not enough liquid

Promoters who wants me at their club to party

But I'll stay at home tonight, it's probably for the best

And try to dream but I'm still lying awake

I love you now, baby, but I don't know about tomorrow

And I do hope, but I don't know if there's any more above us

But I know there's always a way out of the haze

I sing

Hey my friend

When the angels are here I am stronger

And I sing along with them, oh yeahhh

I can't, won't let go

But hey my friend

When the darkness find its way

And the demons inside of me comes back

Then I know it's all or nothing

I have heaven as well as hell in my mind at once

I stand in the window of the seventh floor and let the wind bite

I look down, crawl inside and drink until I fall asleep

I wake up and drink again

Feel like a shadow in a fairy tale by H.C. Andersen1

But I don't stop at that, no, not me

Cause my mentality is baby, bye bye

I give Thomas2 a hug, I send Sanne 3 a kiss

Salute Larsen4, and are chit chatting with Søs5

I see myself, try to relax with two bottles of vodka

End up totally fucked in double A6

It's not Aalborg7 I'm talking about, narh narh

Have voices whispering here

Beautiful roses that withers here

Send my greeting to Oprah

And tell her there's no Disney here, please

It's so cold here, it's so ego here, it's so barbaric here

But it's so me here, so now, so momentarily

As beautiful, as surreal

Like a painting by Puis Mathi that hangs by the waters of Seaguess

Listen, little Scarly Scar, you're so clever

I know you understand your dad

And, honey, I know I sometimes let you down

But it's an obligation to be a good poet

Yir, I'm invulnerable, I'm bullet proof

All certain that God is watching, that God is listening when I spit

I sing with the angels now, yeah, we are music on a higher level

Hey, my friend

When the angels are here I am stronger

and I sing with them, oh yeah

I can't, I won't let go

But hey, my friend

When darkness find its way

And the demons inside of me comes back

Then I know it is all or nothing

All or nothing

All or nothing

Don't lie to me

Don't you ever lie to me again

Don't lie to me
