Fallskärm [English translation]

Thirty thousand meters up in the stratosphere

I was on my way to Earth, in hundred-ninety km/h*

If you have to crash you should, do it really neatly

Wanted to be high on life, but [instead I] made own-goals

Looked for sixteenths, only found one, two

I was a dark cloud, you were a bright look**

I stared into the wall, but you had a view

You sailed the seven seas, I was stuck in a duck pond

I was a leaf in gale, but you were anchored

Over there is a mermaid, here’s a beast

Over there blooms four-leaf-clovers, here grows bad luck

You are a flow of emotions, I am emotionless

You change everything

I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless

Been a millimeter from decay

Been running like a half-dead through Malmö

Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way***

Maybe it was a good thing, that I fell so far

Because you were the one who made my parachute unfold [itself]

I wanted to see the whole ballet without slip-ups

And stop dancing between straightforward truths**** and perjury

When it comes to falls from high altitudes I’m a veteran

You caught me by the collar five to twelve on the sixth day

Because you were the gold in the jungle, I laid as gravel in the park

But you never ran away, I was so deep into the drugs

I was awake but I, dreamt that I was asleep

And wish that I forgot, what you remembered

But the alarm clock rang, in the middle of my “zombie mode”

Cured the closeness, that I was far away from

You were a flood of emotions, I was emotionless

You change everything

I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless

Been a millimeter from decay

Been running like a half-dead through Malmö

Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way

Maybe it was a good thing, that I fell so far

Because you were the one who made my parachute unfold [itself]

(unfold itself)

You renovated my sight, you gave me new brushes

Pushed me into the ‘now’, even though I begged to [get to] wait

You said that time is missing, for how I live at risk

You drew me a map, marked with an X

Over there is a mermaid, here’s a beast

Over there blooms four-leaf-clovers, here grows bad luck

You are a flow of emotions, I am emotionless

You change everything

I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless

Been a millimeter from decay

Been running like a half-dead through Malmö

Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way

Maybe it was a good thing, that I fell so far

Because you were the one who made my parachute unfold [itself]

I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless

Been a millimeter from decay

Been running like a half-dead through Malmö

Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way

I’ve gone so fucking loose, been hopeless

Been a millimeter from decay

Been running like a half-dead through Malmö

Feels as though I’ve gone under in every way

You change everything
