about
Loosely based on Snaeffelsnes Sagas and Stories (and partly inspired by the Street Art in the Icelandic town of Hellissandur). A lot of the Sagas are about trying to get somewhere – back home, back to loved ones, across oceans, over mountain passes in blizzards, etc. The somewhat unusual timing helps to convey the confusion, stress, and uncertainty inherent in these fragmentary stories.
lyrics
Helpless aching by the river
Lips emerging to forgive her
Eyes enlarging from a glimmer
I don’t know how she gets back from here
Children wander on the glacier
Giants lurking in the vapor
Spirits pressing for a favor
I don’t know how they get back from here
Ugly scar across the cheek
Victim safely in the deep
Demons hear but never speak
I don’t know how he gets back from here
Helmets scrape across the ceiling
Crew revived but never healing
Ruthless journey past the screaming
I don’t know how we get back from here
I don’t know how to get back from here...
Lips emerging to forgive her
Eyes enlarging from a glimmer
I don’t know how she gets back from here
Children wander on the glacier
Giants lurking in the vapor
Spirits pressing for a favor
I don’t know how they get back from here
Ugly scar across the cheek
Victim safely in the deep
Demons hear but never speak
I don’t know how he gets back from here
Helmets scrape across the ceiling
Crew revived but never healing
Ruthless journey past the screaming
I don’t know how we get back from here
I don’t know how to get back from here...
