    This has lyrics! - it's from the last verse of Inní Múr Syngur Vitleysingur by Sigur Rós.

    In the original it is

    Minn besti vinur hverju sem dynur Ég kyngi tári og anda hári Illum látum, í faðmi grátum Þegar að við hittumst Þegar að við kyssumst Varirnar brenndu, höldumst í hendur Ég sé þig vakinn Ég sé þig nakinn Inní mér syngur vitleysingur Alltaf þið vaða, við hlaupum hraðar Allt verður smærra, ég öskra hærra Er er við aða, í burtu fara

    but I think the general slowed down repeated bit cuts out most of it so it's just:

    Illum látum, í faðmi grátum Þegar að við hittumst Þegar að við kyssumst

    with other bits layered on top.

    Translation:

    My best friend no matter whatever happens I swallow tears and breathe hair A bad break, we cry in each other arms When we meet When we kiss The lips burning, we hold hands I see you waking I see you naked Inside me a lunatic sings Always rushing, we run quickly Everything becomes smaller I scream louder I'm with a shell, going away

    There's a short story by Kevin Brockmeier called The Year of Silence. Most likely unrelated, but just a tidbit of information I thought I'd share.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
