Christiania Lyrics

To tusen grader, svetten pipler frå pannen
Luftå vibrerer mange meter fra bakken
Et knusktørt kadaver henger fast i gjerdet
Gåsehud betyr at det er ting på ferde

Millimeterpresisjon stod det i ingressen
Det er hundre år si eg stolte på tressen
Som et bilde tatt av KGB er manipulert
forteller eg deg at det var ikkje meg
Det var ikkje meg

Du trur du ser ting å så klart
Eg seier ikkje ett ord til før eg får en advokat

Et sekund er som et minutt her inne
Minutt som en time. Time som et døgn
Og du trur du ser ting å så klart
Eg seier ikkje ett ord til før eg får en advokat

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Beatiful song, everytime I hear it I'm just stunned.. The lyrics seem to describe Christiania (modern-day Oslo) sometime in the last 100 years, My guess would be during the WW2, and about political corruption. The Chorus and the last verse are about being interrogated and accused for something you didn't do, and not wanting to answer to charges before you get a lawyer.. Beautiful song no matter what..

in english

two thousand degrees, the sweat is dribbling out from my forehead the air is vibrating many meters above the ground a dried out carcass is hangin on the fence goosebumps means that there is things goin on

millimeter-precision it was said in the introduction it's been a hundred years since I last trusted the press like a picture of KGB is manipulated i'm telling you it wasn't me it wasn't me

you think you see things, oh so clearly i'm not telling another word until i get a lawyer

a second is like minute in here minute like an hour, an hour like a day and you think you see things, oh so clearly i'm not telling another word until i get a lawyer
