Jag var länge ensam enda barnet
Ett monster underst i en hembyggd våningsäng
Och på håll såg jag ljusen dö i dimman
Precis när mörkret tändes upp igen

Och jag såg dig springa över skaren
I jakten på din sagolika vy
Och du lärde mig att fullständigt försvinna
In i dina tankar i ditt huvud står jag fri

Ge mig en vinterdrog
Ge mig allt du har
Kom nu jag är kroniskt låg
Bara mörkret hörs
I ditt öga var en storm jag såg
Som sommarsnö
I döda vinkeln ser jag allt du gör

Och där kommer dom jag ser dom mellan träden
Snälla kan du hjälpa mig att fly
Deras ögon är som mareld över världen
Jag kryper där i askan fågel Fenix född som ny

Ge mig en vinterdrog
Ge mig allt du har
Kom nu jag är kroniskt låg
Bara mörkret hörs
I ditt öga var en storm jag såg
Blåsa sommarsnö
I döda vinkeln ser jag allt du gör

Ge mig en vinterdrog
Ge mig sommarsnö
Kom nu jag är kroniskt låg
Bara mörkret hörs
I ditt öga dansar stormar små
Men det är du som för
I döda vinkeln ser jag allt du gör

I think these guys have a few New Order records in their collection. None the worse for it either.

It seems to be about a child  who feels really alone, probably seperated parents.

I have this sneaking suspicion that if I had grown up in Sweden, these guys would have been my favourite band...

Like everything else I've heard by them, this rocks! It has a great groove and vocals with a killer edge that I really appreciate. Sad they seem broken-up!

It picked up near the last half of the song, so that part is getting my vote of 7 otherwise it would have been a 6.

Firstly, no, it's not just you, that does look like a mini-Vlad.

Secondly, Kent is one of the few groups I discovered on MTV (!) back in '98 when they embarked on their brief foray into English versions of their albums (Isola and Hagnesta Hill). I think I prefer the 'original' Swedish versions musically, but it's nice to know what he's singing about...

I think that is an accurate colloquial translation, it gets used that way a lot. One hears the term "döda vinkeln" when you are in driving class for example. But I wonder what that the literal translation might be different, more like "death's view" and that seems to be how Jocke is using it in this song.

Here's a translation I did - apologies for any misspelligns. My Swedish is a bit rusty but I think I got the gist of it. Hope y'all enjoy! For a long time I was the lonely only child a monster at the bottom of a homemade bunk bed and in the distance I saw the lights die in the mist just when the darkness lit up again And I saw you running over the crust in pursuit of your fabolous view and you taught me to completely disappear Within your thoughts in your head I stand free Give me a winter drug give me all you've got Come now I am chronicly low only the darkness is heard In your eye was a storm I saw as summer snow In the dead angle I see everything you do And there they come. I see them between the trees Please can you help me escape their eyes are like fire over the world There I crawl in the ashes, the Phoenix born anew Give me a winter drug give me all you've got Come now I am chronicly low only the darkness is heard In your eye was a storm I saw blowing summer snow In the dead angle I see everything you do Give me a winter drug give me summer snow Come now I am chronicly low only the darkness is heard In your eye small storms dance but you lead In the dead angle I see everything you do

Kent the Band I met the whole band one time, before they even were famous. They came walking in a park, they had bought some hot dogs for lunch. I guess they could not afford much more then. I came walking with my daughter in a stroller, and told her - Oh! Look there's a band called Kent. If I had known they would have become that famous I guess (well I don't really know what I would have done)I would have said hi, or something nice. Anyway, I'm swedish, married to an American, living in Sweden! Loves Radio Paradise. It is an utopia for ears and emotions. Love Marie (Mrs. Superfido however that happened hahhaa)

For the record, the band did record english versions of their mid-career albums, but not so anymore. I guess they did not sell, maybe because some of the originality was lost. There is an example here on RP.

Nice translation. The word mareld literally means sea fire. It is an effect caused by sealiving organism that glows when disturbed. The most common organism that causes this in Swedish waters is the Seasparkle (latin: Noctiluca scintillans).

Heh, it's kind of weird to hear songs in my native language on Radio Paradise - it always takes me a while to reallize what it actually is. Normally, the first thing I notice is that I can't quite translate the words and that it sounds a bit like Kent; which leads me to the suspicion that maybe it's Swedish - which upon closer inspection it is. ;)

This is good . . . dig the trippy english translation of the lyrics . . . reminds me of Robyn Hitchcock and his band the Soft Boys This is a song RP should put in the playlist . . . Only the Stones Remain Men were executed, women bled Beads and fish changed hands and Children stayed up late Uh huh Colored drums they stretched the night There's a taxidermist looking for a fight But now he's gone Ah yeah, only the stones remain Girls were decked with flowers and violated while Boys spat juice from out of their fresh young bulbs Soldiers crossed their hearts and died and Pretty girls turned cold inside But now they're gone Only the stones remain Oh they're gone, yeah Only the stones remain And the stones have forgotten them The stones have forgotten them They break your body and drain the life out of it It sinks into the soil while the soul flies up into the air above And when there's no more tears to cry, there's Nothing left to do but laugh Stained glass elaborations collapse and candyfloss evaporates, honey Only the stones remain, here they go Ah yeah, only the stones remain Now they're gone Ah yeah, only the stones remain Ah yeah, only the stones remain Girls were decked with flowers and ovulated while Colored drums expressed the night There's a taxidermist grinnin' with deligh

Here is a translation. It looks a bit weird, but the text is weird in Swedish too, very hard to translate in to proper English... Couldn't find a good English word for "Mareld", a kind of nature phenomenon where the water glow in the dark so i wrote "seafire"...
I like "seafire" but I think the scientific word would be phosphorescence. Thanks for the translation!

Hmm, quite long contribution... :) For long I was the only child A monster at the bottom in a homebuilt bunk bed And at distance i saw the lights die in the fog Just when the darkness were light up again And I saw you running over the crust In the hunt for your fabulous view And you learned me to entire disappear In to your minds in your head I stand free Give me a winter drug Give me all you got Come now I am chronic low Only the darkness is heard In your eye it was a storm I saw Like summer snow In the Dead View I see everything you do And ther they come I sees them between the trees Please can you help me flee? Their eyes are like seafire(?) over the world I crawl in to the ash Phoenix born as new Give me a winter drug Give me all you got Come now I am chronic low Only the darkness is heard In your eye it was a storm I saw Blow summer snow In the Dead View I see everything you do Give me a winter drug Give me summer snow Come now I am chronic low Only the darkness is heard In your eye the storm is dancing small But that is you as before In the Dead View I see everything you do

Isn't there the sound of a mellotron in this track? In all case, a very good song, IMHO.
