Now did you hear the sound
ascending from the ground?
A prayer from those who stayed
or died along the way.
We trust the trembling air
to take us anywhere,
transcending gravity and
hoping that we'll be set free.
Unbound instantly,
airborne aimlessly.
We drift towards the
darkness of our Heavens.
Unbound instantly,
airborne aimlessly.
We drift apart to
finally fade away.
I'm whispering your name,
a memory set to flame
like all I left behind.
Becoming someone
else this time.
Unbound instantly,
airborne aimlessly.
We drift towards the
darkness of our Heavens.
Unbound instantly,
airborne aimlessly.
We drift apart to
finally fade away.
ascending from the ground?
A prayer from those who stayed
or died along the way.
to take us anywhere,
transcending gravity and
hoping that we'll be set free.
airborne aimlessly.
We drift towards the
darkness of our Heavens.
airborne aimlessly.
We drift apart to
finally fade away.
a memory set to flame
like all I left behind.
Becoming someone
else this time.
airborne aimlessly.
We drift towards the
darkness of our Heavens.
airborne aimlessly.
We drift apart to
finally fade away.

“Stålfågel” is the first single released from their 2019 Verkligheten. Translated to English “Stålfågel” means “Steel bird”.
The whole album is about reality in different ways, escaping reality, facing reality and questioning what reality really is.
The song is about levitating (part of escaping reality). Hence its name, “Steel Bird” – a.k.a. an airplane.
