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

Reading the lyrics it seems like a battle between strength and ease - it is obviously about someone coming down from a hard place (the north - where it is cold and dark, blue hands, a torch), and finding a place where everything is easy and warm and delicious. Then the deeper voice is like "no, you don't need this, you can survive without it", and then "we are stronger and better than you because we have to fight harder" (shining brighter etc).
