I remember running to the sea...

***

I could hear them howling from afar

I saw them rushing to your car

In a moment all went screaming wild

Until the darkness killed the light

 

I remember running to the sea

The burning houses and the trees

I remember running to the sea

Alone and blinded by the fear

 

And the river flows beneath your skin

Like savage horses kept within

And all is wasted in the sand

Like breaking diamonds with your hand

 

I remember running to the sea

Remember falling to my knees

I remember gliding off the shore

Until I touched the ocean floor…

 

Song by Röyksopp and Susanne Sundfør - Running To The Sea

 

***

 

"This song is about the shooting that took place at Utøya in Norway 22 juli 2011, where 77 people was deprived of their lives by an extreme nationalist (33 of the dead were under 18 years old). This is a sad reminder of what a distorted ideology can become in a twisted mind"
