A Nordic Room - Lyrics

A Nordic Room is Helene's solo album from 2009.

VOICES

Then I rise
Then I know
In a sigh
Moments go

There I break
There I know
There I rise
I go
--

WHAT IS THIS

What is this now
I am lost
I am down
What is this now
I am on
Common ground
Why cant you see
What we had
What we found
What is this now
I am lost
I am down

The face of him
It lays so soft around my skin
I pull you in
And all my thoughts now go far

I try to breathe
You fill the room
The air
The bed
And suddenly
I know I cannot forget
--

BEAUTIFUL DAY

It’s a beautiful day.
--

STILL

Still is the night
Still is the house
I look around
Still is the sound

The stars are hanging so low
The night is passing so slow

Still is the house
Still is the bed
I am the only one here
Still is the air

The stars are hanging so low
The night is passing so slow
--

UNIVERSE ON HOLD

So slowly
I move
Dance
But there is no sound

Time is lost
I am afloat
My universe is on hold

Is on hold is on hold

So loudly
I’m rising
But there is no sound
All is lost
I am afloat
My universe is on hold

Is on hold is on hold
--

WHERE ARE YOU NOW

He is asleep and
The silence
Invites me in
Where are you now

Oh oh uh oh hey yeah
Where are you now
ow ow hey yeah yeah
Oh oh uh oh hey yeah
Where are you now
Ow ow
Where are you

I am awake
With the mood
I am in
I go to him
Where are you now

Oh oh uh oh hey yeah
Where are you now
Ow ow hey yeah yeah
Oh oh uh oh hey yeah
Where are you now
Ow
Where are you now

HE SAID

I should have seen
How much
He loved me
I should have listened
When he told me
I should have felt it
He cried for me
Then

He said
I should go

He said
I should go

I should have tried
To understand
Him
The love he felt
Was meant
To hold me
But I just never knew
What I’d feel
Until

He said
I should go
He said
I should go
--

STONETHROWS CLOSE TO YOU

I’ll tear the moon
To be there
Stonethrows close to you

The sky is the same
I’m looking at you
I carry no shame
Looking at you
And a new
Emanation
Covers the blue

I’ll tear the moon
To be there
Stonethrows close to you
Unfolded dreams will take me there
Stonethrows close to you

The night is so bare
I fade in the glow
The darkness of the air
Is taking me low
To the theft of you
And the theft of me
--

ROUND MIRRORS

And a thousand bells they ring
Voices and people moving
Through me
Into me
Over me
And next to me
Somewhere there I lie
That is why
I bought you a rose today
Now the big black grey mist
Is pushing against my chest
One hand in my mouth
And lots in my head
Somewhere there I lie
That is why
I bought you a rose today

I wish
He was made of you
Little round mirrors
I wish
He was made of you
Little round mirrors
I wish
Beyond black
There is nothing left
To feel nothing beyond anything
Is tragic
To be sucked so far
Beyond myself
Somewhere there I lie
That is why
I bought you a rose today
--

SERVICE STAR

Service Star
Where are you now
I feel
I think
And then I turn

Service Star
Where are you now
I turn to face
The old ground

Service Star
You see me sway
Rugged
And scarred
Of the past

Service Star
Where are you now
I turn to face
The old ground
--

I BEGIN

My sins
Go through me
Slowly
I unthaw
When the stars
Are silent
I swim to your shore
I am wanting
You more

So take me
Reopen
My eyes
The waves are so blue
From the tears
I have cried
Wash it over my sins
And so
I begin
