Sticks & Stones Lyrics

Eyes open wide, blinded by the sun now
Orange and white, dark red, green and yellow
Rainbow colors! Do not hide, see the view!
Step aside, go through!

Against the light, too strong, blow a fuse now
Everything bright, new songs, burning shoes
The look in your eyes! Break our bones into half!
Scream and shout and do laugh!

Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see - You see

Inn um ermar, upp hryggjarsúluna
Yfir skóg, flæðir niður brekkuna
Allt upp í loft! Ég mun aldrei gleyma!
Því ég mun aldrei!

Hleypur um, rífur, leysir flækjurnar
(Upp með rótum) með blik í augum!
Stórmerki, undur, brjótum bein í sundur!

Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Right beyond the trees
Show you how you'll be

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see - You see

Stay close to me : Count one, two, three
Up in your sleeves : You're right beyond trees
Stay close to me : Count one, two, three
Up in your sleeves : Burst through the seams

Open your eyes and see
You see - You see

Man, this song is incredible. And how awesome is it that DreamWorks commissioned Jonsi to write a song instead of Justin Bieber or whoever else is simultaneously popular and talentless.

yes yes this song is a sweet b-side. :) but j wasn't commissioned by DW, the director of 'HTTYD' dean deblois, who directed SR's film 'heima' is a pal of jonsi's. there, lies the connection.

I know right! There's still hope in Hollywood, after all!

I love this song! Does anyone know what language he's singing in the second verse?

Okay, I think I might have figured it out? I think it might be Icelandic. And if so, I translated it online, and this is what he says there:

Inn on the sleeves, a spine Over the forest, flowing down the slope Up in the air! I will never forget! I will never!

Rushes on, tears, laser machinations (Up with roots) with glittering eyes! Wonders, miracles, chest bones apart!

For those who wanted to know, like me, lol. :P

In through the sleeves, up the spine Over forests, flows down the hill Everything upside down! I’ll never forget! 'Cause I'll never!

Runs about, scratches, loosens up tangles (Torn up by the roots) With a look in the eyes! A miracle, a wonder, we break bones asunder!

Thanks, lol. Your translator is better than mine. :]

So glad I got the soundtrack to "How to Train Your Dragon" -- introduced me to Jonsi. Now I'm back-tracking to get Sigur Ros. I'm loving this music, even though I don't understand Icelandic. I love the way Jonsi songs make emotional sense whether or not I understand the words.

if you enjoy listening to Jonsi you should listen to Sigur Ros. Found that band in my favorite movie; Vanilla Sky.
