On “Carbon Dioxide”, the second single from Fever Ray’s Radical Romantics, Karin describe the feeling of falling in love. The song contains a lot of references from 1 Corinthians 13:1 that Karin saw in the movie Three Colors: Blue (1993), words they say had a “great impact on their life, to Anne Mor...
[Verse 1]
Sucking on what's mine
Love's carbon dioxide
Can't say it out loud, I'm afraid to lose it
Their melody is pure music
[Verse 2]
Pour yourself out of the sea
Softest syrup over me
Sipping a sparkling tumour
Wish me courage, strength and a sense of humour
[Refrain]
Holding my heart (Holding my heart)
While falling (While falling)
[Verse 3]
In the city, at dusk jumps the magic heaven
On the island, it's 24/7
When I lay me down to rest (When I lay me down to rest)
The elves ask me to carry their nest
[Refrain]
Holding my heart (Holding my heart)
While falling (Whilе falling)
[Verse 4]
Oh, will you meet me? Hocus pocus (Hocus pocus)
On the other sidе of hyper focus (Hyper focus)
The first one, excellent
The second came for me by accident
[Refrain]
Holding my heart (Holding my heart)
While falling (While falling)
[Verse 5]
Woo, you had me on cuddle (You had me on cuddle)
Swallowing the buds from the puddle
There's resounding gongs and clanging bowls
There's cats to guide my soul
[Refrain]
Holding my heart (Holding my heart)
While falling (While falling)
[Instrumental break]
[Refrain]
Holding my heart (Holding my heart)
While falling (While falling)
Holding my heart (Holding my heart)
While falling (While falling)
[Outro]
Holding my heart (Holding my heart)
While falling (While falling)
