kent, "the hjärta & smärta ep"

[cimorene]

we against the world

in a film i see the rain fall up against you
and i smile because you will become my salvation

in a dream you sang songs in my room, i was sick
like you and you called me darling

my thoughts are so clear now
all the question marks are flattened out
when the bomb falls i want to be where you are
our vengeance will be delightful

it's we against the world again

in a park somewhere in Köln where we walk, as if in a trance
you are silent and i have the lie on my tongue

i have broken all the promises that you kept but i do what i can
remain forever young

and in the gravel one weakling still lay
when my glasses had just been kicked off
i gave a promise which i'm ashamed of still today

(our hearts pounded exactly as hard as each other)

my thoughts are so clear now
you can let that bomb go now
over my shoulder i see the pearly band of blue light
our vengeance will be delightful

and it was we against the world again
we against the world again

vi mot världen


the ones who went away

i've burnt my albums
burnt up your letters
and the ash lies in drifts
the SunStick match boy¹, he smiles

he prays and asks:

kindle the fire in your thoughts
with your black, silent tears
and we know and you know everything ends
slowly she walks out through the room

come let us go away from here
let us travel someplace
travel far from here
let us be the ones who went away

come and we'll forget the death
he smokes in our bed
come and warm yourself at the glow
from our smoking home

the floors sing again:

you give us cold breezes
with your black, silent tears
and we know, everyone knows that everything ends
slowly she walks out through the rooms

come let us go away from here
let us travel someplace
travel far from here
let us be the ones who went away

the camera glides over golden-yellow fields
yes, we know you need help
this city is making me crazy tonight
you're never going to find yourself at home again
i want to give you everything tonight

you're never going to be yourself again

the camera glides over golden-yellow fields
yes, we know you need help
this city is making me crazy again
you're never going to be yourself again
and i believe my soul is certainly starving to death

one gets tired of your damned complaining

1. SunStick (SolSticka), a brand of matches. the boy is the boy on the box.

dom som försvann


flanders/paris

there's a long way between flanders and paris
but it is near a 30 years' crisis

you tossed your hair and smiled
you wrote our names under the bridge

i wish i were there now

everything is so fragile in your world
shh... i only tell it like it is

you gave me a bomb under the bridge
just think, only words were needed

let me hold on to this here
i could well be worth it
come break my world apart
it's all i ask

i wish i were there now

it wasn't my name you wrote
i wish i were there now

under the bridge in a city
i wish i were there now

and i don't remember where
i wish i were there now

under the bridge in a city
where you and i were left behind

flen/paris


the special of the month

in a rented car
between Essingen and Kransen
i heard a melody
which said: here's the last chance now
i wonder where you are

you spew criticism
you put your fingers in the neck
you said: why do you make music
for all the monkeys in Skansen now
i wonder where you are
i have shown where i stand

wherever you wanted to go, i went with you
i was the tern on your trailer, your own live lackey
wherever you wanted to go
i set everything in play
for you i did everything wrong

if you were a war
i was probably the balance of terror
we were music
for the elite out on the curb now
i wonder where you are
i have shown where i stand

when you go i will follow with you
i was the tern on your trailer, your own live lackey
wherever you wanted to reach
i set everything in play
for you i did everything wrong

ansgar & evelyne

the bomb falls down from a clear sky
we lie silent in the crater, smile
when we see our present life burn down

and i will shield you with my body
the air stings when we breathe it in
i've always seen us as ansgar and evelyne

we will fill our stolen car
with expensive watches and dexedrine
souvenirs from the time when we were pigs

and you have taken me in from the cold
from german hard rock to charles valentine,
in my book you will forever be evelyne

and like i wish that you were here now
i just want to hear your heartbeat
and like i wish that our war had ended
i have learned from my mistakes
and you are just as alone as i am

ansgar & evelyne
