Martin De Thurah (Dan): Videoclip of "What else is there?", Röyksopp (Nor) from "The Understanding"  (2005)

I am still suspended: Floating.

I had chosen the forests, but just five minutes with you were enough to bring me back to the wild mundane life. I don't know what I need: I traveled alone and often searched for you around me, even knowing you weren't there. You have always been honest: "I will destroy you, my love.

I am still floating: Suspended.

I don't know if, after traveling far, far away, I am more mature: a useless question now that I understand I am living based on those five minutes and everything around me seems to fly away, carried by the storms you unleash. I leave myself. Don't destroy me.

Floating, suspended, confused....

Time seems to never pass here, where you have decided to place me: only you can end this twilight, and I don't know what's beyond. You have always been frigid, and I have been many things: too bad that now I can't be any of those. Only what you have decided for me.

The protagonist is the model Marianne Schröder. With a minor role also appears Karin Dreijer Andersson (singer of The Knife), who is the performer of the piece: curiously, in the video, it is Marianne who "sings" the song and not Karin...

It was me on that road
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights on, but nowhere near here

It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And then flashligths and explosions

Roads are getting nearer
We cover distance but not together
I am the storm and i am the wonder
And the flashlights, nightmares
And sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It's about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What i have and what i ache for

I've got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
And what else is there
Roads are getting nearer
We cover distance still not together

If i am the storm if i am the wonder
Will i have flashlights, nightmares
And sudden explosions

There is no room i can go and
You've got secrets too

i don't know what more to ask for
i was given just one wish
