BURNING BRIDGES
Cast away into the cave
I wasn’t blind, but I could not see
oh, the travesty
trapped inside of me
and believe, still
this is what we seek
Take me back again
Sensing my way through the dark
Was it a sin? When did this begin?
I would trade it all just to be someone
somewhere else
just the ordinary small time friend
and through the cracks I see
Aiming your steps for the dawn
Tricky the ground, but keep moving on
Can we gaze upon the wonders we adore?
In the photograph we were still floating on
With our slingshots spending hours skipping stones
in the morning light
Take me back again
They tied you
They cared for you
the beggar and the greed
The silence was all we knew
In the cosmic masquerade
With millions on the run
Behind you; the perfect beast
It’s calling for you now
And the night sky had a fever when it soaked the moon
Trapped in the heart-shaped psyche cocoon
It’s taking it’s toll and stealing all the lights now
In the ocean, in the ocean,
and we’re older
CRYSTALLINE
Into the light
I wish it could feel right
Strolling around out by the balcony
Stay for a while
No need to be going away
Nothing but silence
it’s like you were never here
It’s strange when we walk
where only a trail remains
We hide what we see
But everyone felt the same
Take what you want
you captured our memories
Remember the laughter?
I wish it could stay the same
But the tears were aligned
as the cancer was overthrown
But where do we go from here?
We sent you back with the love that you gave
Now it’s over, I know
In the pale city light
Nothing cuts deeper
The magic was spent, and nothing remains
I am sober tonight
and the chair and the crown;
reclaimed by the reaper
the thrills in the rye
the breeze that we’re floating on
it is hard to bear
we’re walking the stairway
and you’re always around
And the lights that you stole
and you’re never coming home
what kind of reward – to be leaving
as the silence fell to the floor
we’re never going back
it’s the payment for the reward
and we’re leaving
Make it stop.
KINGDOM OF COLOR
Lost in the city
You wanted to get out, but it stole from you
You choke in the morning
You changed into something else, but you’re trapped in a time
when it felt real
Now it’s out of sight
The guilt and the glory
Your feet dissolving the ground
When you run through the night just like a thief
do you still believe?
The night was bright
Satellite
We’re floating on
Marathon
And stumbling on and on
SKINS
The changes come and they rearrange
they leave you in a self-embrace
in the daytime you’re a mess and you barely stand it
In the night you cling on to your pills
it’s a free fall
it’s a restless dream
it’s a thief who claims you for himself
and the questionnaires and the neutral chairs
and escaping am I really here
there are some of us who’ll understand about the wasteland we can enter if we dare
The remedy was within your reach
the grass compelling and the devil speaks of a special life with a model wife
what a story
It’s a fallen man with a hopeless plan
it’s a parody there’s no sympathy,
and betraying you was the worst thing I could do
And the nighttime is no friend of mine
as the thoughts and fears go hand in hand
and the less you look the more you see how this perfect core is what I recall tonight
and it’s on and on
about
Let’s pause for a while. It’s time for a proper Thank you.
To Håkon Dalen, Ørjan Saur, Rune & Sverre Leraand for getting a band going back in 2008. For the kids in Volda for rooting for the one man band that was Soup back in 2005. To Brygga studio for the courtesy through the years, especially during the times of finishing the Bernays album. To all our families, and especially Liv Aastad for finance and continuous support, and Stein Grüber for inspirational feedback throughout the years. To Roar Johannessen and his daughter Line Ira for making connections, networking, booking and promoting, and for making friends with Hans Magnus Ryan, who in turn helped produce the e.l.b. Album, ambassadeuring Soup on through the 10’s. To Anders Langfjæran for coming on board after Håkon Dalen as our work-for-free sound engineer. Idealist and true legends -helping out with tech stuff, therapeutic stuff, live stuff, studio stuff and friend stuff. People like that are hard to come by, just like our friend/booker/manager Rob Palmen who set us up with our european live tours, and Torgeir Lund at our label who keeps on pushing our albums to people we don’t even know (ah, and Piotr at InoRock for getting a different ball rolling). To all the drummers who auditioned, came and went, or joined as temps; those snare hits were never in vain; Kim, Vomit, Pål Tore, Thomas, Oddbjørn & Sverre. To Per and the Spiders, thanks for the ride. To Paul Savage and the Remedies crew; all the kind people in Namsos (hi, Bård Ole), and in Glasgow; Emma, Ben and Chem19 - truly appreciate the inflatable mattress, the food and the friendship. To Christian Obermayer at Strype Audio for revising and mastering Soup stuff for over a decade; you’re a patient prince. To the bookers, venues and labels we’ve crossed paths with over the years; every gesture of courtesy brought value (Terry Middleton; now there’s a noble piece of humanity). To the journalists who caught on to the Soup sound early on (Catharina my love). To every helping hand at Fosen county; thanks for joining in on our vision. To Erik Paulsen, Lasse Kalevi, Kofen, Trond Morset, Terje Hallan and all our resourceful helpers; you’ve saved us more than once. To Lars Hyldmo who stepped up on short notice to customize a flight case, and to every fellow musician who stopped by to borrow or let us borrow stuff -that’s the joint spirit we’re all part of. This goes for our local community in Trondheim too, without whom we would’ve never achieved much. To Lasse Hoile, who -back in 2005 became the first official soup fan after hearing My Justine online (r.i.p. Myspace), and came along as a long term collaborator; it’s hard to know soup without knowing Lasse, and that’s the way we like it. Love u bro. To the local music store who, at least before going completely K-Mart plug-in-mp3-conversion style, was a cornerstone in the development of local talent and young bloods. To Kostas, Orcan and Burak for taking us on our MediterrAsian adventure, a trip we’ll always remember. To the loyal followers who keep informing us about Soup’s impact on their lives; kinda didn’t see that coming when first starting out. To all we might’ve forgotten; you know who you are, and you know we do too.
Thank you.
It’s been a fine ride.
// Soup
