Nostromo [English translation]

April came to town, the situation was desperate

I am proud that we made it through

Friends disappear, long distance love

Some of them I was with and I buried

But in the memory I am home

My room at Äppelstigen

Take the bus up to Nyfors to you

I find the last cigarette

In Martin's paisley shirt

I believe the world is waiting for me

But we gave no promises

Had no word to keep

And there is no more to say now

I promise that I remember everything

Like sunlight on the facade

I see it all clear in front of me

A gig at a student union

I met the love of my life

Without really having lived

I fell on my knees in the hall

I worshipped the phone

And every silent minute was a betrayal

If I had something to say

I either went the whole way

Home to you or wrote a letter instead

So answer my question

I am so fucking bored

Why did everything become like it did?

The summer came like a cruel little child

You said now it finally is over

All the friends that we have

Well, the ones we have left

Are all we really need

Alone you came and alone you go

A lost astronaut

The only survivor on Nostromo

The last of your kind

Alone you came and alone you go

The strongest of the weak

Incorruptible like Conrad's Nostromo

Are you an astronaut?

I promise I remember everything

Almost like it happened

We will never talk about it again

But we always think about it

Distorting certain things

Repressing everything horrible we felt

We wear away our edges

Our dreams, our ideals

The incomprehensible love

And the road to our hell

Is paved with good intentions

The heroes have become the enemy
