Of Monsters And Men – Slow Life lyrics
[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
What are they talking about
On the weekend
Lost in the forest of this heart
Is a foreign still

Why are they shaking their heads
We're stuck in slow life
Is it the beating of the chest
That makes us fear the rest

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2: Nanna]
We're slowly sailing away
Behind closed eyes
Where not a single ray of light
Can puncture through the night

[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar Þórhallsson]
You caught me in the tide
And I caught you
Sheltered by the night
Red in tooth and red in claw

You saw me in new light
And I saw you
Sheltered by the night
Red in tooth and red in claw

[Verse 3: Nanna]
Between the daylight
And the deep sea
Lies a swarm of silhouettes
Floating aimlessly

But I'm a mountain
I am a killer
You'll get lost and buried deep
If you swim with me

[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
You caught me in the tide
And I caught you
Sheltered by the night
Red in tooth and red in claw

You saw me in new light
And I saw you
Sheltered by the night
Red in tooth and red in claw

[Instrumental]

[Refrain]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh

[Bridge: Nanna & Ragnar]
So look at you, look at me (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh)
All because we need to know (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh)
So look at me, look at you (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh)
All because we'll never know (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh)

[Refrain]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh

[Refrain]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh

[Refrain]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh

[Refrain]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh
