Svartepetter Lyrics

Nå flammer himmelen opp,
The sky is burning, signifying a new beginning for the singer.

Jeg har kommet meg fri.
He has finally freed himself from the expectations and constraints of society.

Og jeg kan høre dem kalle fra et eventyr.
He hears a call to adventure, beckoning him to experience something beyond the mundane.

Så faller himmelen ned, Vi er fanget på ny.
However, the sky falls again, symbolizing that he has been trapped once more by societal norms.

Ja, de har fanget oss alle i et eventyr.
Everyone is a pawn in the societal game, forced to conform to the expectations placed upon them.

Han går igjennom byen der han bor.
The singer walks through his hometown.

Kald vind, men det begynner å bli vår.
Although the wind is cold, the arrival of spring offers hope for the future.

Han vil, så han begynner å forstå,
The artist begins to understand what he truly wants in life.

Så det ikke før, men han ser det nå!
He never realized it before, but he sees it clearly now.

Han ler og tar slipset av,
The artist laughs and removes his tie, signaling his rejection of corporate culture.

Ga sjefen beskjed om å drite og dra,
He tells his boss to shove it, refusing to be a part of the system any longer.

Ser seg i speilet og gliser glad.
He looks at himself in the mirror, smiling in contentment.

Sier høyt for seg selv: "Jeg er fri for faen!"
He declares loudly to himself that he is finally free.

Han tar av seg dress.
He removes his suit.

En svært rutinert og presis prosess.
He is well-practiced in this ritual of discarding the trappings of corporate culture.

Skjorte med langt snipp, bukse med press, jakke med mansjettknapper, og vest.
He takes off his long-collared shirt, creased pants, jacket with cufflinks, and vest. The clothes symbolize the corporate world he is leaving behind.

Alt var del av et eventyr.
The suit and the corporate lifestyle were all a part of the societal story he is rejecting.

En vakker historie om evig liv,
Society sells the dream of eternal life, but the singer realizes it is a mere illusion.

om rikdom, makt, og en bedre tid.
The story also promises wealth, power, and a better future, but those promises are empty.

Han er glad når han sier:
He is happy when he says:

Han går opp på taket naken. Uten å se seg tilbake.
He climbs naked to the rooftop, leaving behind the constraints of society.

Står der på kanten, rager, Slagen kar med mager mage.
The artist stands on the edge of the roof, as a tall, skinny man.

Står det på vaglen, vakler. Mister balansen, armene flakser.
He teeters on the brink, nearly losing his balance, arms flailing.

Før katastrofen er faktum, er fakta at allting går uendelig sakte.
Before the disaster happens, everything seems to happen in slow motion.

Det ble bare mer enn han maktet å bli en av de som han mer enn foraktet.
The singer realizes that he can't become one of the people he once despised.

Likevel ble det hele for drastisk, han mente ikke hoppe, han lekte med tanken.
Although he never meant to jump, the situation became too surreal for him to handle. The thought of jumping had occurred to him, but he did not seriously consider it.

Han svever og ser ned på banken
He floats above the bank,

med penger, sedler, juveler og alt ting.
seeing all the money, paper bills, jewels, and possessions.

Han har jobbet der nede i så lang tid at han er glad når han flyr.
He has worked at the bank for so long that he is relieved to escape, even if it means falling to his death.
