Thirty thousand meters up in the stratosphere
I was on my way to Earth, in hundred-ninety km/h*
If you have to crash you should, do it really neatly
Wanted to be high on life, but [instead I] made own-goals
Looked for sixteenths, only found one, two
I was a dark cloud, you were a bright look**
I stared into the wall, but you had a view
You sailed the seven seas, I was stuck in a duck pond
I was a leaf in gale, but you were anchored
Over there is a mermaid, here’s a beast
Over there blooms four-leaf-clovers, here grows bad luck
You are a flow of emotions, I am emotionless
You change everything
I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless
Been a millimeter from decay
Been running like a half-dead through Malmö
Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way***
Maybe it was a good thing, that I fell so far
Because you were the one who made my parachute unfold [itself]
I wanted to see the whole ballet without slip-ups
And stop dancing between straightforward truths**** and perjury
When it comes to falls from high altitudes I’m a veteran
You caught me by the collar five to twelve on the sixth day
Because you were the gold in the jungle, I laid as gravel in the park
But you never ran away, I was so deep into the drugs
I was awake but I, dreamt that I was asleep
And wish that I forgot, what you remembered
But the alarm clock rang, in the middle of my “zombie mode”
Cured the closeness, that I was far away from
You were a flood of emotions, I was emotionless
You change everything
I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless
Been a millimeter from decay
Been running like a half-dead through Malmö
Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way
Maybe it was a good thing, that I fell so far
Because you were the one who made my parachute unfold [itself]
(unfold itself)
You renovated my sight, you gave me new brushes
Pushed me into the ‘now’, even though I begged to [get to] wait
You said that time is missing, for how I live at risk
You drew me a map, marked with an X
Over there is a mermaid, here’s a beast
Over there blooms four-leaf-clovers, here grows bad luck
You are a flow of emotions, I am emotionless
You change everything
I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless
Been a millimeter from decay
Been running like a half-dead through Malmö
Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way
Maybe it was a good thing, that I fell so far
Because you were the one who made my parachute unfold [itself]
I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless
Been a millimeter from decay
Been running like a half-dead through Malmö
Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way
I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless
Been a millimeter from decay
Been running like a half-dead through Malmö
Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way
You change everything
