Background information about the song:
Here we get a glimpse of what is simmering inside Kenneth's head at the time when everything peaks, and he decides to escape from his crazy wife and take his daughter with him. All the strange things that are happening around him boil down to one simple conclusion: Get away! After a long period of planning, a period where everything is apparently hunky dory, as if nothing had happened or would happen, the time is finally right to carry out the plan - and take ONE with him ...
I ett med verden | As one with the world |
| Det er fucked up å våkne opp | It's fucked up to wake up |
| kver morgen til en stemme inni hovet | every morning to a voice inside your head |
| som seier; Stikk Kenneth! | that says: Get away Kenneth! |
| Etter nok ei lang natt | After another long night |
| med pumping og uling | with pumping and howling |
| frå min fru som står brud oppe på loftet | of my wife who turns into a bride up in the attic |
| Du har to valg. Enten å henge deg i mønå | You have two choices: Either hang yourself in the roof ridge |
| eller forsvinne, og bli usynlig | or disappear and become invisible |
| for du går i ett med verden | because you become as one with the world |
| Men eg reiser ikkje aleina | But I won't leave on my own |
| Eg kommer til å ta en med meg | I'll take one with me |
| Og når min fru er demon, og mi datter engel | And if my wife is a demon, and my daughter an angel |
| så er valget enkelt | then the choice is easy |
| Hopp ut av balkongen i vilden sky | Jump down from the balcony, unrestrained |
| Tusen lys blinker ut av gamlebyen | A thousand lights are flickering in the old town |
| Du er meg, og eg er deg | You are me, and I am you |
| Sammen er me en, når eg tar deg med | Together we are one, when I take you with me |
| ut og inn av periferi | out and into the periphery |
| Det var hysj hysj mellom meg | There was hush hush between me |
| og min Violeta | and my Violeta |
| som om ingenting hadde hendt eller sko skje | as if nothing had happened or should happen |
| Det var kyss kyss mellom meg | It was kiss kiss between me |
| og min Beatrice | and my Beatrice |
| Som et glansbilde gikk me og sang | Like a glossy picture we went, singing |
| alle tre, så her | all three of us, so here |
| Lo lai lo lai lo lai lo lailailailai | Lo lo lai lai lai lo lo lailailailai |
