lyrics

Det som man mærker i
Rummet er luft der
Forføres i bølger
Af lyd og lys
Er følelsers skud fra
Hjerter bevæget
Af bølgernes slag
Mod et bryst

Og ringene breder sig rytmisk
I luften
Elektrisk
Og gnisterne fyger
Og bølgerne brydes og pisker
Hinanden til skum
I en luft der er
Svanger af usagt
Som taler
Når bare man lytter

What can be deducted in the room
Is air led and misled by waves of sound and light
Is shots of emotion from hearts
Moved by the wash of waves onto a chest

And the rings spread out through the air
Rhythmically, electrically
And the sparks fly
And the waves break to whip
Each other into foam
In an air bursting with the unsaid
That will speak
If only one listens
