Lyrics of Ný batterí Single Edit - Sigur Rós

Ný batterí Single Edit (original)

Heftur með gaddavír
í kjaftinum sem blæðir mig
Læstur er lokaður inn í búri
Dýr nakinn ber á mig
Og bankar upp á frelsari
Ótaminn setur í ný batterí
Og hleður á ný
Og hleður á ný
Og hleður á ný
Og hleður á ný
Við tætum tryllt af stað
út í óvissuna þar
til að við rústum öllu og reisum aftur
Aftur á ný
Aftur á ný
Aftur á ný
Aftur á bak þar sem við ríðum
Aftur með gaddavír
sem rífur upp gamalt gróið sár
Er orðinn ryðguð sál
Rafmagnið búið
Mig langar að skera
Og rista sjálfan mig á hol
En þori það ekki
Frekar slekk ég á mér
Aleinn á ný
Constrained by barbed wire
in my bleeding mouth
Locked in a cage
Naked animals beat me
And a savior knocks
An untamed animal inserts new batteries
And charges once again
And charges once again
And charges once again
And charges once again
We set off
into the unknown
until we destroy everything and are dominant
Once again
Once again
Once again
Once again into the back where we ride
The barbwire returns
in my mouth, ripping an old healed wound
My soul has grown rusty
The electricity is gone
I want to cut
And slice myself to death
But lacking courage,
I shut myself off instead
I’m alone again

(translation)

Staples with barbed wire
in the mouth that bleeds me
Lock is locked in a cage
Animal naked bears on me
And knocks on the savior
Ótaminn puts in a new battery
And reloads
And reloads
And reloads
And reloads
We go crazy
out into the uncertainty there
to ruin everything and build again
Again
Again
Again
Back to where we ride
Again with barbed wire
which tears up an old healed wound
Has become a rusty soul
The electricity is off
I want to cut
And carve myself into a hole
But dare not
I rather turn it off
Alone again
Constrained by barbed wire
in my bleeding mouth
Locked in a cage
Naked animals beat me
And a savior knocks
An untamed animal inserts new batteries
And charges once again
And charges once again
And charges once again
And charges once again
We set off
into the unknown
until we destroy everything and are dominant
Once again
Once again
Once again
Once again into the back where we ride
The barbwire returns
in my mouth, ripping an old healed wound
My soul has grown rusty
The electricity is gone
I want to cut
And slice myself to death
But lacking courage,
I shut myself off instead
I’m alone again
