The Backbone - Rökkurró

This is the water

That washed my tiny fingers

A long time ago

This is the wisdom

My younger heart believed in

A long time ago

Now I see

This is not the real world

Now I see

We’re far behind

Now I see

The road is even longer

Now I see

The troubles that I faced

Are replaced with lack of words

Places I loved before

Now filled with big buildings

I see these walls

In black and white

They steal my thoughts

And make me forget things

All I ever wanted was to know

To understand

Look away

The place you love

Is never coming back

All I ever wanted was to know

To understand
