Words I never say.

Þú reyndir allt
Já, þúsundfalt
Upplifðir nóg
Komin með nóg
En það varst þú sem allt
Lést í hjarta mér
Og það varst þú sem andann aftur
Kveiktir inní mér

Ég fór, þú fórst

Þú rótar í
Tilfinningum
Í hrærivél
Allt úti um allt
En það varst þú sem alltaf varst
Til staðar fyrir mann
Og það varst þú sem aldrei dæmdir
Sannur vinur manns…

TRANSLATED:

You tried everything
Yes, a thousand times
Experienced enough
Been through enough
But it was you who all
Died in my heart
And it was you who breath again
Awoke me

I went, you went

You stir
emotions
The mixer
Everything in disarray
But it was you who was always
There for me
And it was you who never judged
True friend….

——Sigur Rós - Ára Bátur 

Sometimes I feel so alone.
And no matter who surrounds me,  I will always feel alone.
 

Maybe you’re wishing for the wrong thing;

“Do you know when they say soul-mates? Everybody uses it in personal ads. “Soul-mate wanted”. It doesn’t mean too much now. But soul mates- think about it. When your soul-whatever that is anyway-something so alive when you make music or love and so mysteriously hidden most of the rest of the time, so colorful and big but without color or shape-when your soul finds another soul it can recognize even before the rest of you knows about it. The rest of you just feels sweaty and jumpy at first. And your souls get married without even meaning to-even if you can’t be together for some reason in real life, your souls just go ahead and make the wedding plans. A soul’s wedding must be too beautiful to even look at. It must be blinding. In must be like all the weddings in the world-gondolas with canopies of doves, champagne glasses shattering, wings of veils, drums beating, flutes and trumpets,showers of roses. And after that happens-that’s it, this is it. But sometimes you have to let that person go. When you are little, people , movie and fairy tales all tell you that one day you’re going to meet this person. So you keep waiting and it’s a lot harder than they make it sound. Then you meet and you think, okay, now we can just get on with it but you find out that sometimes your sould brother partner lover has other ideas about that.”
