Verkligheten [English translation]

[Verse 1]

Reality stings

But still surpasses fiction

Stay behind in time

Tell me, what do you do when New York feels small?

The world was vast, we watched it on TV

I wanted to be there, I wanted to see it

[Chorus]

I should've become something better

I should've done something grander

I know so much more than what everyone sees

I should've become something grander

I should've done something better

It's everyone else's fault

It's everyone else's fault and not mine

[Verse 2]

You are frail and anxious

Pretty in the metro's light

Wrote in fog: "help me"

If there is a God we're screwed already

Nothing new, they can't deceive me

[Chorus]

I should've become something better

I should've done something grander

I know so much more than what everyone sees

I should've become something grander

I should've done something better

It's everyone else's fault

It's everyone else's fault and not mine

[Bridge]

Someone pulls the door

Awakes me from my thoughts

I ignite and put out and ignite

Almost hoping they want to fight

I walk like in a video

It's me against them again

I only hear the music

I always choose it

Perhaps I ought to sleep more

Could that be it?

But then you'll always miss out on something

[Chorus 2]

Grander, better

I know so much more than what everyone sees

Better, grander

It's everyone else's fault

It's everyone else's fault

It's everyone else's fault and not mine
