Living on my guard
Guarded
Wind is on my neck
Fateless
Sun is on my face
Have courage
Beautiful day without you
Like rays of gold
In all this decay
Now can I forget the pain?
Living on my guard
Guarded
Wind is on my neck
Fateless
Sun is on my face
Have courage
Beautiful day without you
Feel unspoiled
In this world
Confiding beliefs
How can I?
I know my tragedy
Notion took a bow
Still I wonder how
Morning after rain
Clear away the pain
Then, after all, when all are gone
It’s pain to see, just who we are
In light of hate, the way we talk
And act in shame 'causing harm.
"Defend yourself 'n keep your guard!"
We realize we belong apart
'cause beyond ties we've got
Ways of knowing...
Living on my guard
Guarded
Wind is on my neck
Fateless
Sun is on my face
Have courage
Beautiful day without you
Like rays of gold
In all this decay
Now can I forget the pain?
Living on my guard
Guarded
Wind is on my neck
Fateless
Sun is on my face
Have courage
Beautiful day without you
Feel unspoiled
In this world
Confiding beliefs
Now can i?
When I'm alone, and all are gone
The pain it leaves, onto the sun
In light of good I see myself
Approving things of everyday.
The open sky, the breathing stars
Will leave me calm in a world apart 'cause
In these times there's no
Way of knowing...
Living on my guard
Guarded
Wind is on my neck
Fateless
Sun is on my face
Have courage
Beautiful day without you
Like rays of gold
In all this decay
Now can I forget the pain?
Living on my guard
Guarded
Wind is on my neck
Fateless
Sun is on my face
Have courage
Beautiful day without you
Still unspoiled
Feeling refined
This beautiful day,
It’s a sign
Guarded
Wind is on my neck
Fateless
Sun is on my face
Have courage
Beautiful day without you
Like rays of gold
In all this decay
Now can I forget the pain?
Living on my guard
Guarded
Wind is on my neck
Fateless
Sun is on my face
Have courage
Beautiful day without you
Feel unspoiled
In this world
Confiding beliefs
How can I?
I know my tragedy
Notion took a bow
Still I wonder how
Morning after rain
Clear away the pain
Then, after all, when all are gone
It’s pain to see, just who we are
In light of hate, the way we talk
And act in shame 'causing harm.
"Defend yourself 'n keep your guard!"
We realize we belong apart
'cause beyond ties we've got
Ways of knowing...
Living on my guard
Guarded
Wind is on my neck
Fateless
Sun is on my face
Have courage
Beautiful day without you
Like rays of gold

Now can I forget the pain?
Living on my guard

Fateless

I actually own the CD, and these are the lyrics that come with it. There might be a few spelling/grammar errors, as some of the words in the book were incorrect (like "loose" instead of "lose") but these are technically the official lyrics.
As for me, this song is about breaking up with a girlfriend. Maybe, Royksopp didn't break up with his (no, I don't want him to, if he's got one), but as for me the song reflects the feelings of a man after some time after breaking up... when the understanding comes, and he ddoesn't suffer any more... he hasn't to care and fear about what his gf is doing and if she is safe... he understands that it is time to live on his own and care about himself... he understands that the relationship was a mistake, it was not a true love but something mixed up with lies, harm and pain that was tried to hide under shame... at least, the man from the song is happy in the end... everything is gone, no need to suffer any more
Further more, Ignorance under religious faith is still bliss.
