Animal Arithmetic Lyrics

Wake up, cut my hair
Making food disappear
Riding bikes, making out
Elephants run you down

You and I run away, blushing cheeks
Howling wolves, colourful fireworks

Every time, everyone, everything's full of life
Everyday, everywhere, people are so alive

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!
We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!

Horfandi, þegjandi, tala við, skríðandi
Dreymandi, strjúka af, koma við ekki má
Mála á líkama, spilað á renglandi
Hlaupandi! Leikandi!

Get it on, let it out, fucking and spúandi
Get it on, let it out, fucking and kæfandi

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!
Exist all in love, in life!

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!
Let's not stop, let's grow and live!

I see you colourful : I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful : You're in the breeze
I see it in your hands : Tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand : Roll down the stream

I see you in the trees : I see you colourful
I see you in the breeze : You're spiritful
Tree fingers draw a beam : I see it in your hands
You're rolling down the stream : You're in the sand

I see you colourful : I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful : You're in the breeze
I see it in your hands : Tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand : Roll down the stream

I see you in the trees : I see you colourful
I see you in the breeze : You're spiritful
Tree fingers draw a beam : I see it in your hands
You're rolling down the stream : You're in the sand

I see you colourful : I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful : You're in the breeze
I see it in your hands : Tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand : Roll down the stream

THIS SONG IS AMAZING. It makes me want to blast it loud and jump around in my bedroom.

"Through your fingers, through a bean" Should be: "Tree fingers through a bean" and it means this: http://www.sunnygeesorganic.com/files/2240828/uploaded/Seeds_Logo_2.jpg

I thought it was "tree fingers draw a beam" that makes more sense to me. Like the light through tree branches, creating a beam.

this song makes me feel like a little kid.

The world is full of life. Life is a God-given blessing. Every blessing has a big meaning. A big meaning creates a strong impact on your values.

I think this song is about how the one you love is everywhere and everything makes you think of them.

My Interpretation

"Get it on, get it on Fuck it, let's go and live Get it on, bring it on Fuck it, break out and be"

Wrong. He's singing in Icelandic during this part.

I beg to differ, I believe those lines are in english. although I'd like to be proven wrong. :)

the usage of the "F" word shouldn't come as a surprise. there's a couple of SR songs where he uses the word "anskotann" which is the icelandic equivalent of that.

I suppose we'll see once the album is out.

Guess who was right?

How much happy and wonder can come out of one person? I cannot wait to go home and get my hands on this.

Cover art for Animal Arithmetic lyrics by Jónsi

"Elephants swimming down" Should be: "Elephants running down"

"Cover full of fireworks" Should be: "Colorful fireworks"

English Translation:

Listening, silent, speak to, creeping Dreaming, wipe off, mustn't touch Paint the body, played on lankingly Running! Playing!

Get it on, get it on, fucking on, erupting Get it on, bring it on, fucking on, chocking

wrong... it's

Get it on, let it out, fucking eldspúandi Get it on, let it out, fucking er kæfandi

After a lot of listens to the album I have to say this won out as my fav track. It's just so... alive! XD It's got so much energy and is so lovely at the same time. If only anyone could agree on the lyrics. Kurse him for not just telling us. Icelandic bastard.
