Eg mun vaka yfir ter, lifa ut I horn
Hvort tel eg nidur til min telji
Slippur og snaudur stend eg tar

Hvenaer sem er, hvert sem fer
Hverning sem er
Hvort sem stendur eda felur
Mun eg gera tad sem tarf

Komast I hvarf, vopna tig,
Beygja mig, vikja tig, leyna mig
Finna minn stad, leida tennan tarf

Hvad eigum vid ad gera
Efla tru and annan sid
Hvert einasta, seinasta rennur
I lengra bil, svolitid mig

Sama er mer, hvort sem er
Hvort sem tad er eg eda tu
Sem fornar life, hver fer, bintu hnut

Skilur ad, skilurdu tad, tad skilur ad
Allt annar madur, betri en I gaer, eg
Vildi helst geta daelt ut you're merÂ
Elskad og saert, truir tu mer tykir tar gott

Finnst ter tad gott
Snuid tvi sem snyr ad mer
Fundid mig her og vakad yfir ter

Svona sefur tu saett, mun
Eg vaka yfir terÂ
Tad er einskis virdi teim sem
I haus ad stunda sakir
Um tad ad sert ekki ennta

Komin lengra af stad
Eg skal ekki segja
Eg skal ekki tala, eg vil ekki fara

Komdu frekar til min litla
Syn og vid skulum mala
I tetta skipti kemur salin
Steini til ad segja tad sem
Skiptir mali, tviskipta salin

Gripa skal fara
Mali sinu til ad sanna, tetta
Er tad sem eg vil sja,
Tetta er tad sem eg vil hafa

Tileinkad ad eilifu, kjaftakleina
Ein ein er a teini
Sama hvoru megin eg hvoru
Megin sama sinnis

Rauda spjaldid gefid upp sama
Og to ad eg sa ad fara utaf, koma aftur upp
Guli kenni skoga, mina fjarlaegd
Fjarskipti nalagt taktu numer, einn, tveir og trir

Hvad vil eg frekar tig til
Ad marka sognina, yfir um tognina
Talandi tungulaust, sjaanlegur
Heyri roddina svona sefurdu saett
Mun eg vaka yfir terÂ

    Icelandic for the Win ;) Hehehe... just kiddin' :) One flaw though, the Icelandic letters are missing! (fx. Þ, Ð, Æ, even Í, Ó & Ú are missing...)

    Correct lyrics:

    Yfir þér.

    Ég mun vaka yfir þér Lifa mig út í horn Hvort tel ég niður til mín telji slippur og snauður stend ég þar Hvenær sem er, hvert sem fer, hvernig sem er Hvort sem það stendur eða felur mun ég gera það sem þarf Komast í hvarf, vopna þig, beygja mig, víkja þig, leyna mig Finna minn stað, leiða þennan tarf Hvað eigum við, efla trú og annan sið Hvert einasta sinn, seinasta rennur í lengra bil, þolir mig Sama er mér, hvort sem er Hvort það er ég eða þú sem fórnar lífi, pakkaðu upp, bintu hnút Skilur að, skilurðu það, það skilur að, allt annað lag, það er betra en í gær, ég vildi helst geta dælt út úr mér Elskað og sært, trúir þú mér þykir þér það gott Finnst þér það flott Snúið því við sem snýr að mér, fundið mig hér og vakað yfir þér

    Svona sefurðu sætt Mun ég vaka yfir þér

    Það er einskis virði þeim sem hugsa um stunda sakir um það að þú sért ekki ennþá komin lengra af stað Ég skal ekki segja, ég skal ekki tala, ég vil ekki fara Komdu frekar til min litla sín og við skulum mala Í þetta skipti kemur sálin Steini til að segja það sem skiptir máli, tvískipta sálin Grípa skal fara Máli sínu til að sanna, þetta er það sem ég vil sjá, þetta er það sem ég vil hafa Tileinkað að eilífu, ein ein kjaftakleina er á teini, sama hvoru megin ég er hvoru megin sama sinnis Rauða spjaldið gefið upp Sama þó að ég fari útaf, ég skal koma aftur upp Guli kenni skóga, mína fjarlægð, fjarskipti nálægt Taktu númer, einn, tveir og þrír Talandi ég vil frekar þig Til að marka sögnina, yfir um og þögnina Talandi tungulaust, sjáanlegur, heyri röddina

    Svona sefurðu sætt Mun ég vaka yfir þér

    This is one of the first actual rap songs that were made in Iceland. And it's actually one of a kind.

    Sorry I was gonna say it's one of the first rap songs in Icelandic. Think there were at least some rap songs before but they were mostly in English.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
