Svarta Linjer [English translation]

Black lines

That is all I see

Black lines

That hold us two back

In our cage

Black lines

That is all we have

Black lines

Do you remember how it was

In the middle of winter

Black lines

(Reflect, always reflect)

Along an ash-grey horizon

(Reflect, think about what you do)

Black lines

(Everything has a price, always reflect)

Like tracer-lights over the city

(Reflect, always reflect)

The spring comes

Black lines

(Must think forward, must think big)

And I hang stubbornly behind

(Must become something, must get something done)

Black lines

(Reflect, always reflect)

We lie like small children

(Everything has a price, always reflect)

We shake it off

Black lines

White lines

(Reflect, always reflect)

In a tunnel I see light

(Reflect, think about what you do)

White lines

(Everything has a price, always reflect)

Like a dead-straight track towards God

(Reflect, always reflect)

If one believes in such things

White lines

(Must think forward, must think big)

They lead nowhere

(Must become something, must get something done)

White lines

(Reflect, always reflect)

We have a microscopic chance

(Everything has a price, always reflect)

Of becoming old

Together
