lyrics

Put my name inside the jar
Picked me up, I got the part
No-one knows how far we are from ending.

Blaming them was never smart
It’s hard to tell just what they thought
Maybe they were thinking like a penguin.

You think you’re close,
It’s perfectly clear.
Even though you’re not even near.
You may be right to shatter from fear,
But if one doesn’t know, one shouldn’t steer.

I have no home,
But at least I am alone.
Haven’t been bothered in days now.
Scrolling the tome. Any day now, I will know.
Can’t see the fog for the haze now.
Haven’t been bothered in days now.

Be careful what you step upon.
You’re one look from being stone.
Your values can be altered while you’re blinking.
Ethics-leaking reservoir,
You know what? Chances are:
You’re not as heroic as you’re thinking.

It turns out that I’m very ill.
But it seems I ain’t that easy to kill.
Pity for you I’m not on the pill.
With the penguins’ son came the phoenixes will.

I have no home,
But at least I am alone.
Haven’t been bothered in days now.
Scrolling the tome. Any day now, I will know.
Can’t see the fog for the haze now.
Haven’t been bothered in days now.
Haven’t been bothered in days now.

Paul Bäcklin Sweden

“Something to Die to” has a certain brightness to it. Not a pleasant bright, like a sunny day or the glitter on a lake touched by a breeze.  More like the light in “light-headed”. A dizzy, grainy light with a high pitched sinus tone to match it, ringing in your ears while all other sounds move back into the distance. The type of light you might expect to see when being on the verge of passing out. ... more
