lyrics

La liberté existe, mais toutes ces informations sont plus rapides que la lumière.
Freedom exists, but all this information moves faster than light…
So I am free…It’s only your own thoughts that keep you imprisoned in the cave. Only your own thoughts
only your own mind that turned the key and threw it away
Ved du egentlig hvem jeg er? Har du måske kendt mig altid? Jeg tror måske du har kendt mig altid.
Du har set ind i mit hjerte. Mit hjerte rødt af blod. Og du har set ind i blodet. Du kender mig som om du var mig selv og jeg kender dig som om jeg var dig selv.
Vi er næsten smeltet sammen – selvom de siger man ikke må. Man må ikke gøre det.
(med paranoid stemme) : de siger at det er forbudt, de siger at man skal passe på at man ikke bryder ind i et andet system. I deres hjerner kan man komme slemt til skade fordi man glemmer omridset af sin egen krop og der kommer huller over det hele!
Do you actually know who I am? Have you possibly always known me? I think you may have always known me. You have looked into my heart, my blood-red heart. And you have looked into the blood. You know me as if you were me and I know you as if I were you. We have almost melted into one – although they say you’re not allowed. You’re not allowed to do it. (in a paranoid voice): They say it is forbidden, they say you have to be careful not to break into another system. In their brains you can get badly hurt because you forget the outer lines of your own body and there will be holes everywhere!
You do something to me. I don’t know what it is, I don’t know what it could be. I only know what it was…Walking in this mountain and going deeper and deeper into this mountain. Why this is the sound of interior design…
C'est quoi ce truc ?
What is that thing?
