Eg
Verdens skjønneste psykopat
Nei det e meg
Sier hun ser vinger når eg løper
Prøver å fange fugler
Hun vil se kryss på øynene mine
Selv om eg bader i kjemikalia
Og du vet ikkje lenger kor eg bor
E det du som må
Leve med at eg
Eg vet at eg skal leve lenger
Lenger enn kroppene våre
Eg vet at eg skal leve lenger
Lenger enn kroppen min
Første gangen vi kolliderte
Måtte du ta en telefon
Eg tok det med ro
I min kiste e det plass til to
Selv om eg bader i kjemikalia
Og du vet ikkje lenger kor eg e
E det du som må
Leve med at eg
Eg vet at eg skal leve lenger
Lenger enn kroppene våre
Eg vet at eg skal leve lenger
Lenger enn kroppen min
Kom kom kollisjon
Kom kom kollider
Så kom den der dagen igjen
Og du måtte tvinges frem igjen
Bryte opp lyset å gjøre
Gjøre meg om til et menneske igjen
The lyrics of gjengen's song "Eg skal leve lenger" present a complex and introspective exploration of identity and the desire for longevity. The singer describes themselves as the "world's most beautiful psychopath," suggesting a sense of self-awareness and acceptance of their own quirks and unconventional nature.
The lyrics go on to depict a relationship where the singer's partner seems fascinated by their unique qualities. The line "Sier hun ser vinger når eg løper" (She says she sees wings when I run) suggests that the partner sees something magical or extraordinary in the singer's actions. However, the singer acknowledges that their partner wants to "catch birds" and "shoot a bird" by trying to change or control them, even though the singer feels comfortable embracing their individuality. This juxtaposition highlights the tension between the desire for connection and acceptance, and the need for personal autonomy and freedom.
The repeated phrase "Eg vet at eg skal leve lenger" (I know that I will live longer) serves as a mantra throughout the song. It expresses the singer's conviction that they will outlast the physical bodies involved in their relationships, emphasizing their resilience and perhaps hinting at a deeper spiritual or existential understanding. The line "I min kiste e det plass til to" (In my coffin, there's room for two) further reinforces the theme of transcending physical limitations and implies a sense of eternal connection between the singer and their loved ones.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of transformation and the struggle to maintain one's identity in the face of societal expectations. The line "Gjøre meg om til et menneske igjen" (Make me into a human again) suggests that the singer feels a sense of loss or alienation when forced to conform to societal norms. This sentiment reflects a desire to retain their unique essence and resist being reduced to societal labels or expectations.
