about

There was a time I enjoyed writing about places I had never been too. That was 2004. Then I went to all this places after all, and many of them I actually enjoyed. Reykjavík was one of those, and the lyrics weren't really that far from what I had experienced in real life.

lyrics

Cold night under a red moon, waiting for the sun
Snow in your pants, in your shoes, everywhere

Icy people, blonde hair, look at you suspiciously
Like an alien, another type of human being in Reykjavik
Blue eyes, skins widened by twenty-four Januaries
now in search of a chill, a sensation to describe

You know you could feel yourself estranged in this place
Even if you're open-minded, be aware here's another piece of world
And volcanoes, geysers, cold waters, a bright soft wind whispering
A very cold paradise with evil fires bursting on
Dancing about through the night in the habits of the land
like a sad smile, a very sweet tear
like the place where I'm living
like Reykjavík...
