1000 év

Pontosan egy évvel ezelőtt mi mind leültünk együtt
Ugyanahhoz az asztalhoz
Ugyanazok a beszélgetések kezdődtek el ugyanabban a sorrendben
Milyen rég volt! Jó újra látni! Jól vagy?
És mi van a karriereddel, mondd csak, van elég pénzed?
Már szívből tudjuk, és most is ugyanazokat a dallamokat hallgatjuk
Próbáljuk nem elkezdeni ugyanazokat a beszélgetéseket
Valójában eléggé hülyeség, ahogy mind a szerepeinket játszuk, de
Mindig is így volt, és ez valami,
Amin egyszerűen túl kell lennünk
De besötétedik, és az utcai lámpák kigyúlnak az út felett
Néhány pohár után végre kitörünk a felszín alól
Eleinte senki se akarja kimondani, de mégis mindenki küzd
Nehéz ffigyelmen kívül hagyni, hogy a csapatunk kisebb lett,
Üres helyek vannak az asztal körül, néhány hang nem szól már
Hiányzik a parfümös levegő, ami keveredni szokott a többiekével
Az év, amely elmúlt, tisztán látható nyomot hagyott maga után
És ez jól látszik, amikor összegyűlünk az asztal körül
 
És én még ezer évig is szeretni foglak
És semmi sem fog változni pedig az idő egyre múlik
Igen, én még ezer évig is szeretni foglak
Messsze vagy tőlem, mégis közel hozzám
 
Egy egész év elelt azóta, hogy legutóbb itt ültél velünk, nehéz elhinni
A neved még minidig itt van a telefonkönyvemben
Mintha egyszerűen megnyomhatnék egy gombot és felhívhatnálak
Régen, mior meg volt az esélyem, nem hívtalak elégszer
Úgy gondoltam, írhatnék egy levelet ma este, ami csak a tied
Elmesélhetném, mi történt azóta, a jót és a rosszat is
Kezdhetném azzal, hogy a nap, amikor elbúcsúztál,
Gyönyörű volt, és tele volt virágokkal és barátokkal a sírod körül
És nagyapa erős volt, alig ejtett el könnycseppet
Pedig sok tekintetben neki volt a leghosszabb éve
Camilla és a nagynéném, ők magukon kívül voltak
Azt hiszem, már jobban vannak, pedig nagyon kimerültek
Peter, ő otthagyta anyámat, de ilyesmi néha megtörténik
Mégis rosszul viselte, és sosem fogják szívesen látni
Hende még mindig itt van, ő és én gondoskodunk anyámról
És esténként még mindig összegyűlűnk az asztal körül
 
És én még ezer évig is szeretni foglak
És semmi sem fog változni pedig az idő egyre múlik
Igen, én még ezer évig is szeretni foglak
Messsze vagy tőlem, mégis közel hozzám
 
Legutóbb, mikor így összegyűltünk,
A templomban voltunk, és elbúcsuztunk
És most, mikor a fények kigyúlnak, és a nap véget ér
A város lenyugszik, béke honol
És nyilvánvalóvá válik, hogy vanna dolgok, amik nem változnak
Bizonyos tekintetben olyan, mintha nem múlt volna el az idő
A nők a családomban sosem sírnak semmi miatt,
Pedig a világ súlyát cipelik a vállukon
A szélről meg egyebekről csevegnek, magazinokat lapozgatnak
Mindig egymást tekintik fontosabbnak, a saját életük háttérbe szorul
És néhnyan azt mondják, ez valami, amit tőled tanultak
Az év, amely elmúlt, tisztán látható nyomot hagyott maga után
De tudnod kell, hogy még mindig összegyűlünk az asztal körül
 
És én még ezer évig is szeretni foglak
És semmi sem fog változni pedig az idő egyre múlik
Igen, én még ezer évig is szeretni foglak
Messsze vagy tőlem, mégis közel hozzám
 

Revolution

Okay, say it
 
Okay, what if tonight was the night
When we took it back
Back to love?
(One love, one life, right?)
 
I feel it's cold in the spirit of our time
Feel that we're stuck in a time pocket
I sometimes think that perhaps we went
A step too far in evolution, it's almost as if
None of us can find peace within
We've never had this much, never been less free
It has never been easier to be get connected
But with technology, love has gone away
Come to a halt, feel within yourself - do you feel me?
If you think I'm tripping, thinking I'm chasing ghost
Go take a trip through the traffic of this city
And see how much time passes before you get a killing look
Or a fuck finger from a stranger in the middle of the street
Tell me where it comes from
All this hate
The only way to end it is a revolution
But before I send the first bullet
I'll give love another shot
 
[Chorus: Burhan G]
I never said that I've got all the answers
I'm just saying that we were better as we were
Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day
Oh, take me back
Take – take me back
 
We've come to somewhere we've never been before
The generation where everyone has an outlet
We can go around the world in a second and let them hear
What we want to say, but it's wasted – look at what we're doing
In the comment section, hate's flowing in their voices
I love my country, but I'm not cool with Nationen1
And a culture where those who step a bit too far out of line
Are shot down, back into the rank or bang bang
I think hate is a blindfold
It's becoming so easy to sell as a web of lies
As we're fighting about skin colours and sexuality
There's a war about power and oil – there's fire on my planet
I've yet to see anyone turn water into wine
So I'm an atheist, but my brother's a muslim
And I'm not sure of anything, but I believe in revolution
Where we don't send a single bullet
But we give love a shot
 
[Chorus: Burhan G]
I never said that I've got all the answers
I'm just saying that we were better as we were
Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day
Oh, take me back
Take – take me back
I never had a solution
I'm just saying that we were better as we were
Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day
Oh, take me back
 
It's silence before the storm
We're about to wake up
It's become too expensive to live
If you want to live, you've got to take a loan
And who wouldn't want to feel special?
And take care of their family
So we get ourselves into debt
Stressing around, high on caffeine and sugar
A million tiny screens which never turn off
And we're drowning
Yearning for something which doesn't exist
Put a light in the air if you know the feeling
And sing:
 
[Chorus: Burhan G]
I never said that I've got all the answers
I'm just saying that we were better as we were
Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day
Oh, take me back
Take – take me back
 
Take me, take me back [x7]
Take – take me back
 
Yo, I do realize it's simple
But perhaps it's 'simple' we need
We'll get nowhere if we stand still

The First Couple

She stopped up in the middle of Flensborggade, turned around and looked me deep into my eyes
There are some people you can't lie to...
She looked at me and said, 'What's up, pop star, are you happy with your new life?
Did it get a bit easier to talk with girls when you're out on a bender
getting drunk?
Don't you think I've heard the stories?
Well, then you're crazy naïve
But hey – but they say you've got someone new to write about, right?
They say got a new motif'
I'd have put my hand on her shoulder, but her eyes told me 'Stay away'
So for once in my entire life, I just stood there, shutting up
Looking at people in the gale and the rain at Vesterbro
Then she looked up at the sky, as if it gave her a sign and said: 'Seriously
Fuck you! Am I really going to be the ex
Who was there in your everyday life, but couldn't come to the party?
Sometimes, I almost feel ashamed when they ask me if it's about me
Your life wasn't the only one you changed when you dropped that record'
 
I thought we were going to be
Together until we became millionaires
Until I wrote a hit, yeah
I thought we were going to be
The first couple on the moon
I thought we were going to be
I thought that we were going to be
Together until we became millionaires
Until I wrote a hit, yeah
I thought we were going to be
The first couple on the moon
I thought we were going to be
 
But as I stood on those stages, singing about relationships
I think I broke some agreements I had with you
And then it became more fun to party with Rasmus Seebach
Than packing my shit, going home to talk about issues
So I stayed and took another shot and ended up talking with someone
Who didn't know me at all, but only recognized me from the stage
I really liked who I was in that spotlight
And you do know that I didn't sit there, thinking, 'Fuck you'
But admit I did think, 'Fuck all the shit we've been through'
All that manifested itself in the sound of your voice
So I began to forget
We lose a bit of humanity
Trying to get some more time on the charts, but I swear, I thought
 
I thought we were going to be
Together until we became millionaires
Until I wrote a hit, yeah
I thought we were going to be
The first couple on the moon
I thought we were going to be
I thought that we were going to be
Together until we became millionaires
Until I wrote a hit, yeah
I thought we were going to be
The first couple on the moon
I thought we were going to be
 
And then she turned around and walked on down Istedgade
The woman I was going to marry when I wrote my last record
Now, the life we had is just a song
Which is three and a half minutes long about a girl I used to know
Used to know...
 
(I thought we were going to be)
 
I thought we were going to be
Together until we became millionaires
Until I wrote a hit, yeah
I thought we were going to be
The first couple on the moon
I thought we were going to be
I thought that we were going to be
Together until we became millionaires
Until I wrote a hit, yeah
I thought we were going to be
The first couple on the moon
I thought we were going to be
 
I thought we were going to be
I thought we were going to be
The first couple on the moon
I thought we were going to be
[x2]
 
The first couple on the moon
 

Hey, Jimmy

What did you expect life would be like?
Searched for so long without seeing
Forgive me my fear of believing in my goodness
I should have made some boundaries, I know that now, oh
 
Jimmy was from Vestegnen:1 Hundige, Brøndbystrand, or Albertslund
I'm sure you know yourself where you saw him the most when he was young
His life never was easy, maybe that's why the bass was heavy
The night when he rolled out in the Mercedes, in his glove compartment
There were pills and powder, cash enough in his wallet
Until he could have left the same night and travelled the world
In school, they'd always told Jimmy that he was stupid
'Cause the lad couldn't concentrate for half a second
But now he's focused, brings out for the neighborhood
And no matter what's in the delivery, Jimmy delivers
Deep down, he does know things got too far out of control
But there was no way back after his fathers breakdown
'Cause suddenly, Jimmy had to be the man in the house at home
And is it really dirty money if he does it for them?
All of these thoughts went through Jimmy's head
The same night when three bullets went through Jimmy's windshield
 
Hey, Jimmy!
You can do whatever you want, but never betray those
Who live in your soul
Hey, Jimmy!
You can do whatever you want, but never betray those
You love
 
When he was younger, he had good friends
They swore each other eternal loyalty, said that until the end
They'd be blood brothers, but Jimmy thought he'd been naïve
'Cause they got children, they got jobs, and they moved on with their lives
(But fuck whining)
He knocked it out of his head and rolled into the parking lot
Where children play at day and no one knows what's going on at night
A quick trade, gone as soon as he got payed
But the moment he opened the door, he realized something was wrong
Like a lightning on a pitch black sky, he saw the light
A voice said Jimmy's name, he felt his blood freezing
(The time is 01:45 AM and you're under arrest)
A hand in the pocket of his jacket, he felt that the steel was cold
And Jimmy held his breath, didn't think, shot bullets
He ran towards the car, the wheels screech as they slipped
Across the asphalt
He thought he never had been asked
If he wanted this life
Three bangs and everything went black
 
Hey, Jimmy!
You can do whatever you want, but never betray those
Who live in your soul
Hey, Jimmy!
You can do whatever you want, but never betray those
You love
 
I'm twenty nine now – the last time I saw him, I was eighteen
My life is different today, I think Jimmy stayed in the night
We we're on the same path – maybe I took a turn in time
But I never took Jimmy with me
That will be on me
Forever
 
What did you expect life would be like?
Searched for so long without seeing
Forgive me my fear of believing in my goodness
I should have made some boundaries, I know that now, oh
 
Hey. Jimmy!
 

• 1. A suburban district of Copenhagen full of ghettos. The name literally means 'The Western Region.'

Like Pac

Yeah...
They say... they say
 
More money, more problems – that's fine, I'm so in
My entire life, they've always called me a troublemaker anyway
If it's going to be too much with problems and money
We can always just spend it, yeah
 
This one is for everyone who never was given anything
Us to whom nothing was free – we could hardly even breathe
Neither born beautiful nor with the right surname
There's no skipping the line west of Copenhagen
So we're not the one's they give coverage in the magazines
If we've got something, it's because we've taken it
What others do, Anker does it twice is good
My entire carrier is one big hustle
How else do you explain these lebels suddenly signing
Fucking dropouts from Hundige with red hair and freckles?
Plus I never sell out, but my shows are sold out
I did it all with a dream and a flow
 
And the journey here has never been easy
So this feeling is hard to recognize
But perhaps this is what success feels like
I think I could get used to this
 
Picture me rolling like 'Pac
Picture me rolling like 'Pac
I swear I feel like 'Pac
I feel like 'Pac
 
Everyone gets a little time on the top – before my time's up
I'm doing this for my hood and not the fifteen minutes – do you get me?
I don't care about being famous, I'm more Kendrick
A good lad, a crazy town – see where I ended up, okay?
Good thing I had my dream
I've always been a little beside – the neighbor's son
Before I could paint with sixteen bars
Hung out with boys who did more breaks1 than chiropractors
So there are things I regret, but my past is behind me
And you must remember to let go – like with hand grenades
So there are some scars, but even scars can be beautiful
It's not what you're looking at, it's how you're looking at it
 
And the journey here has never been easy
So this feeling is hard to recognize
But perhaps this is what success feels like
I think I could get used to this
 
Picture me rolling like 'Pac
Picture me rolling like 'Pac
I swear I feel like 'Pac
I feel like 'Pac
 
There's one lesson only defeat will give you
A hurting heart is just a functional heart
Out in the wild, there still are no churches
Who knows why we're here?
I only know why I stay here
I want to see how far we can get
Incredible how many people sleep their dreams away
Fuck who we used to be, it's about who we can become
Set the course for the good life
 
Yeah
Right now
In this moment
I'm 'Pac on my way out of court
Imagine it
 
I swear I feel like 'Pac
Oh, just let them say whatever they want
I feel like 'Pac
And the journey here has never been easy
And the journey here has never been easy
And the journey here has never been easy
And the journey here has never been easy

Thief of my Heart

Thief of my heart, what will you be leaving with?
Do you think it'll get better without me
 
Just a like a drug when she dances, an overdose of senses
It's as if the club is holding its breath whenever the beat stops
And everyone's eyes are on you, you don't dance just for me
I know it turns you on that I'm jealous, and don't deny it
'Cause you do know we look like true psychopaths
Making grimaces, snapping when we speak
When you turn around to look back
Checking if I look at the other ladies
It's lines, stages, theater, we know it by heart, each other's worst habits
I'm trying to leave, but you're in my blood
And I'm hearing your voice in my head
 
Thief of my heart, what will you be leaving with?
Do you think it'll get better without me
The free life you think you're ready for now
Is holding my hand all the way
 
I do see that your eyes are telling me beautiful eyes
That's why the most dangerous woman always are those who are the most beautiful naked
Ought to let go, say goodbye before this kills me
'Cause you smile like an angel, but you're the devil himself
You've tried it before, the first kiss was free
With your lips, you took me from Copenhagen to paradise
You said to me, 'Take me away from here, please'
You eyes were on fire, but your heart was made of ice
But no one else gives me what you what you do, it's the only thing which works
I'm trying to leave, but you're in my blood
And I'm hearing your voice in my head
 
Thief of my heart, what will you be leaving with?
Do you think it'll get better without me
The free life you think you're ready for now
Is holding my hand all the way
 
I'm so out of my mind, I'm so out of my mind
Yeah, I'm so out of my mind, I'm so out of my mind
You body and my hands, we do know what it's going
It's burning, but I forget everything when I touch you
You body and my hands, we do know what it's going
It's burning, but I let it burn
 
Thief of my heart, what will you be leaving with?
Do you think it'll get better without me
The free life you think you're ready for now
Is holding my hand all the way
