We came down from the north
Blue hands and a torch
Red wine and food for free
A possibility
We share our mothers' health
It is what we've been dealt
What's in it for me
Fine
Then I'll agree
Trees there will be
Apples, fruits maybe
You know what I fear
The end is always near
You say you like it
You say you need it
When you don't
Looking better
Shining brighter
Than you do
Blue hands and a torch
Red wine and food for free
A possibility
We share our mothers' health
It is what we've been dealt
What's in it for me
Fine
Then I'll agree
Trees there will be
Apples, fruits maybe
You know what I fear
The end is always near
You say you like it
You say you need it
When you don't
Looking better
Shining brighter
Than you do

To me this song is obviously about consumerism or more so, over consumerism with ties to the late eighth to early eleventh century Scandinavian explorers/warriors who raided and colonized wide areas of Europe. These particular lyrics are relevant today when keeping in mind the definition of consumerism (the equation of personal happiness with consumption and the purchase of material possessions) that is the standard form modern happiness. maybe
