The song is about a person who is living secluded deep within the woods after fleeing a crime and how he deals with the paranoia that he experiences.
[Verse 1]
Eventually the fire overcame
The smell of closed up rooms and dust
Now seal the purposes anew
The night outside was still the same
[Verse 2]
From the window one could see
The long dark road stretch back for miles
A path of peril, sleepless black
Now breathing slow
Alone, not free
[Bridge]
Breathing slow
Alone, not free
[Chorus: Einar Solberg]
Within this cloak of shame
There is nothing worth undoing
The night outside is still the same
Within this cloak of shame
There is nothing worth undoing
The night outside is still the same
[Verse 3]
Tragedy, white snow and storm
By now it cover and entrack
Of this escape whence no one knew
The crime was cold, the passion warm
And know all fears were now long dead
A whisper of the night advise
The door be locked, and better still
To keep a shotgun by the bed
[Bridge]
Sleepless (sleepless)
Fearless (fearless)
Lifeless (lifeless)
[Chorus: Einar Solberg]
Within this cloak of shame
There is nothing worth undoing
The night outside is still the same
[Verse 4]
White snow would cover every track
Of this escape whence noone knew
And all the fears should be long dead
The night outside was still the same
The night outside was still the same (the same)
The night outside was still the same
