Lyrics

28 Aug 2026

Verse 1

The salt holds every step the same Her father's tracks and the fox and the wind The crust does not rank the living Above the dead

Chorus

Everything on the same plane Everything at the same weight The stone placed and the stone placed again The second one is not a correction The water is the material The water is almost gone

Verse 2

Three of them walked onto the flat at dawn Ruth carried the water Henrik carried the map The salt is in the cracks of their feet The plane does not care

Chorus

Everything on the same plane Everything at the same weight The stone placed and the stone placed again The second one is not a correction The water is the material The water is almost gone

Bridge

No - that's placed again Both are true But three years ago her father walked here And the salt killed him And the crust holds his tracks At the same depth as hers And the not-remembering is the dread

Chorus

Everything on the same plane Everything at the same weight The stone placed and the stone placed again The second one is not a correction The water is the material The water is almost gone

Outro

The medium is the meaning The salt is the statement The dead are on the same plane As the living The last step is the same depth As the first
