Lyrics: Maria Solheim. Barefoot. Blue Painting.


Philharmonic sounds surrounding her head
Noise can't be turned off
Nothing can come through to her
Fingers playing the cello, loud and strong

Shut her thoughts in caves of music
Shut her tears in caves of sound
Shut her fears in caves of solutions
They will come out

Smile to the doorway
Smile to the lamp
Smile to everyone except
The one who is smiling at you

Steel is soft compared to her stubbornness
At least the stubbornness of this kind
Her face shows no sign of lightness
Her face is cold and calm

Smile to the doorway
Smile to the lamp
Smile to everyone except
The one who is smiling at you

Smile to everyone except
The one you painted blue
The one who died for you
