Spákonufell (the single) Lyrics

When we look at landscape, we do not see what is there, but largely what we think is there

You think about the landscape a lot

One day there's white mountains, and one day it's grey, green and black

Something majestic and magical about them

I can see why people thought, you know, maybe gods lived up by that

I imagine myself on top of the mountain, opening the treasure chest and signing the book

As if it were me, I made you

A dragon out of the dream, out of the sand, out of the sea

You can see how they have personalities too, I think

And how different mountains probably have different personalities

I guess if they were people, they would be interesting people, because they don't stay the same

You know, they're not boring

When I see mountains, I don't hear any sound

I hear, I feel a presence, and it's very quiet

Out of the sand, out of the sea

Out of a dream, as if it were me

Out of the sand, out of the sea

Out of a dream, as if it were me

We made a map and we fell off

The roads are gone, we're lost

I try not to sort of type people, including myself

And so it does strike me as strange that I have apparently such a strong identification with not climbing mountains

So a mountain, I guess. it's high

But you have these mountains, you have these similar sorts of depths in the sea

I just think it's like the upside down. It's like the other side of things

Out of the sand, out of the sea

Out of a dream, as if it were me

Out of the sand, out of the sea

Out of a dream, as if it were me

The sky, open wide

Stars in your eyes

Maybe you're the dragon

People who have some kind of intense emotion or trauma

However, that trauma sometimes somehow gets transformed into the actual form of the mountain

And then they become the mountain

My friend has buried her husband

She was an artist, so she made a picture of it afterwards

He's there, in the mountain

That's very sweet

And she had cats

She also took them there

Together with him

So it's nice
