about

Sný upp á tímann, could be translated to English as "Bending time". I wrote this song while living alone in a hut in the north of Denmark. Everything was closed, I just moved there to go art school but know that was shut because of the virus. I didn't know anybody, had little money since it was hard to find the job in the situation and all I was running out of firelogs to heat the hut. Made sense to write a funky fun time groove to alter my state of mind. The lyrics paint a picture of a person experiencing itself amid a flux of changes contemplating the experiences of time, freedom and heartache. Google translating them will get you nowhere! :)

lyrics

Ég er á hraðferð
staldra sjaldan við
Svæpa svo til vinstri
Í leit að innri frið
Föndra origami á kvöldin
Úr gömlum bókum eftir Faust
Mála vegginn hvítan
með bjór og móðurást

Sný upp á tímann
Það er enginn við stýrið
Það er enginn við stjórn
Það er enginn við völd,
Það er enginn á bakvið
Þessa stefnulausu öld

Sé glitta í þig stöku sinnum
Ef ég sný mér hratt við
Brennur eldur í leyndu stæði
Úr reynslunnar eldivið
Litríkar gárur
Á tilfinninga stöðulón
Berð með þér hrokkinn þokka
Enda næstum útdautt ljón
