Lea Kampmann - "Pappírstunn"

The song Pappírstunn by Faroese singer Lea Kampmann is about feeling naked and vulnerable in the company of the one you love. It's about the oscillation between being afraid to surrender because of the fear of getting hurt, and at the same time finding the necessity to dare to leap into the unknown, because hope lies in being seen and caught in the fall.

This is the 2nd single of Lea Kampmann's upcoming album "Seinferð", which is Faroese for slowmotion. The album is produced by renowned musician and composer Teitur Lassen, and is set to release September 13th 2024.

LYRICS (Faroese)
Tú sær ígjøgnum meg, sum var eg úr pappíri
Tað er, sum einki er ósjónligt meir
Tú lesur tankarnar, teir, sum eg annars goymi
Í myndamáli millum reglurnar

Tú skrivar sangirnar við rími og við meining
Eg tári hvørja ferð, tú syngur teir
Tað følist akkurát, sum eg havi kent teir leingi
Eg troyttist ikki, eg vil hoyra meir

Havi tað, sum um eg akkurát eri vaknað
Eg byrji mín dag uppá ein spildurnýggjan máta

Tú sigur, at tú sær meg heila, ikki hálva
Tað kitlar djúpt í míni beinagrind
Jú meir eg elski teg, meir elski meg sjálva
Tú ert mítt heim, nú vil eg flyta inn

Veit tú ert bangin, hoyri tað í tínum sangum
Eg havi eisini altíð sungið í moll
Tað er mítt ørindi, tað býr í mínum fingrum
At gera óttan til eitt vakurt lag

Pappírstunn, tað er tað, eg eri
Um tú skræðir meg, so blívi eg bara fleiri

Eg ynski mær, at mínir toluligu sangir
Teir lekja teg, sum tínir lekja meg
At tú skal vita, at tú longu hevur veingir
Tú ert nóg mikið, akkurát, sum tú er

Eg gevi upp, tí eg veit, eg havi vunnið
Eg loypi útí, tí eg veit, at eg kann sveima
Pappírstunn, tað er tað, eg eri
Um tú skræðir meg
So verið eg bara fleiri og fleiri og fleiri og fleiri og fleiri (...)

LYRICS (English)

You see right through me, as if I were made of paper
It is as if nothing is invisible anymore
You read the thoughts that I usually hide away
In imagery between the lines

You write songs with rhyme and meaning
I shed a tear every time you sing them
It feels like I have known them a long time
I do not tire, I want to hear more

It feels like I just woke up
I am beginning my day in a brand new way

You tell me that you see me whole, not half
It tingles in my bones
The more I love you, the more I love myself
You are my home, now I want to move in

I know you are afraid, I hear it in your songs
I, too, have always sung in a minor key
It is my work, it is in my fingers
To alter the fear into a fair melody

Paper thin, that is what I am
If you rip me apart, I will just become more

I hope that my decent songs
Heal you, like yours heal me
That you know that you already have wings
You are enough the way you are

I give up, because I already know that I have won
I jump in, because I know that I can float
Paper thin, that is what I am
If you rip me apart,
I will just become more and more and more and more and more and more
