Nanna & Ragnar ÞórhallssonThe Actor Lyrics
[Intro: Ragnar Þórhallsson]
Tveir
Einn, tveir, þrír, fjór
[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
Oh, that's it, what an entrance, what a stunt I pulled
The thoughts they smash against my skull
I'm in deep, lipstick on my teeth, a little on my cheek
I think I've lost my sense of humour
[Chorus: Nanna, Nanna & Ragnar]
I remember we were waiting like two kids in the parking lot
Keep it separated, is it enough that it's breakin' my heart?
I forget I'm masqueradin', we were laughin' and then I was not
Keep it separated, is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Ooh, ooh-ooh, is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Nanna]
Oh, my heart, what a horror show
With her crooked nose, says. "Odds are ever in my favour"
Could that be my magnum opus?
More like bullshit, my grandiose tumor
[Chorus: Nanna, Nanna & Ragnar]
I remember we were waiting like two kids in the parking lot
Keep it separated, is it enough that it's breakin' my heart?
I forget the masqueradin', it was snowin' and then it was not
Keep it separated, is it enough that it's breakin' my heart?
I admit I'm a bit frustrated, and I'm tired, and I lost the plot
Keep it separated, is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Ooh, ooh-ooh, is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, is it enough that it's breakin' my heart?
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro: Nanna]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

What have Of Monsters and Men said about "The Actor"?
We have a song called ‘The Actor’. I did a solo album a few years ago, and that song was supposed to be on it. But then I had this feeling that it sounded like a band song. So, I decided to hold onto it. I showed them the demo; I’d fully recorded that song and it was ready, I could have put it on my...
