Fever Ray - Red Trails Lyrics






Blood was our favourite paint
You were my favourite pain
Waiting for your love to happen
Is like waiting for a drug that never kicks in

Left traces, red trails
Ocean spray us, dance
Your endless radiance
Dismantle us
Touching in the snow one day
Laying low and kissing

Setting the snow on fire
Watching over vivid dreams
This too will pass
Under the moon we last
Arranging my friend's scenery
And inviting them to sing

Blood was our favourite paint
You were my favourite pain
Scratches when skin's too thin
Throwing me someone new to take in

  22. 1.... ....

    Thank you so much!!
    🖤❤️🖤💔🖤❤️🖤

  23. H.... M....

    Totally dig this noise, beautiful. The vids of this album however don't work on me... I experience them as made by a kid trying to be spooky...maybe I'm missing something?

  24. c.... ....

    I’m not hearing any fucked-up audio at all, as everyone else seems to be?!!?
    As a matter of fact, this is among some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever listened to 😌

    I can't tell you how much I've been waiting for you to release another album, I am SO in love with your music, it touches so many buttons in me ♥ go Fever Ray!

  27. S.... C....

    I just realized you can see fever ray standing at the back of the hallway at 0:18 and at all the other times that happens.

  28. G.... W....

    This is the new album's Keep the streets empty for me track. Made me cry, the strings at the end. Unbelievable.

    G.... W....

    Gregory Wicks agreed

  29. E.... U....

    This song has me speechless. It’s so powerful and haunting

    E.... U....

    Eduardo U. Fever rays first submission is even more creepy

    E.... U....

    ductile pegasus the one from the plunge hot line? I love it so much. It’s so disturbing

    E.... U....

    Eduardo U. no but it is even more creepy now that I think about it lol, I was talking about her first album lol.

    E.... U....

    ductile pegasus ooh her first submission ever, can’t say I’ve seen it, gonna look for it

  30. I.... ....

    Best track of 2cd record, what a dark & trippy song with those violin lines !

  31. S.... M....

    Stunning 🌌

  32. d.... p....

    Masterpiece

  33. S.... ....

    Now THIS is more like what I LOVE about the first album, this style of surreal lyrics, dreamy beats.

  34. L.... ....

    some early Kate Bush vibes in her voice

  35. T.... A....

    Im a big fan of your work Fever Ray, i love your album and great part of The Knife, but i dont find me in this new songs (i dont find the magic, the surrealism). I only like this (Red Trails) and Mustn't Hurry. I respect your decisions and the way you want to make your art, this is just a opinion and you still are one of my favorite artists.

    Regards and love to you, keep going.

  36. l.... ....

    Eargasm ❤

  37. L.... S....

    My fav from Plunge. Love the violins

  38. i.... g....

  39. A.... ....

    17.03.2018 COLOGNE.

  40. E.... M....

    Me encanta. Es una de las más bonitas del album.

  41. B.... R....

    Best song on the album... so beautiful. I can’t wait to see you in concert! Please come to the US!

    B.... R....

    Brenna Roach she is!!

  42. l.... ....

    Why is everyone saying the audio is fucked up? It sounds normal to me

    l.... ....

    i love the sound, but at a moment it's seems like 2 sound who turn instead of one.

    l.... ....

    Beujah OVNI it's supposed to sound like that though. Alot of songs layer their music

    l.... ....

    3:52 tempo turn wrong.

  43. C.... R....

    best track of the album

  44. I.... K....

    Favoritlåt ❤️❤️❤️

  45. V.... T....

    great !!!!

  46. D.... ....

    I dont understand why people complain about the audio is fuck, everything is alright.

    D.... ....

    it's not, compared to the other releases on spotify, itunes, etc. theres additional instrumentation in these youtube videos thats competing with the main track and it's jarring

  47. L.... D....

    best tack of the album!! please come to argentina to play!!!

  48. t.... ....

    Reminds me more of the old Fever Ray material. Great track! Vid feels like I’m in a Halloween 🎃 maze

  49. P.... ....

    My favorite track on the new record, they're all good. This one hurts. "Blood was our favorite paint. You were my favorite pain. Waiting for your love to happen Is like waiting for a drug that never kicks in."

  50. l.... ....

    Awesome! :)

  51. e.... ....

    I missed her music so much

    e.... ....

    I still miss fever ray. Her first album was otherworldly brilliant the whole way through. Although I understand that artists develop, as they should, and this is considered by some to be a development from her earlier sound, I just cant get into it. I would even go so far to say that this album is a disapointing regression from fever ray's debut. That said, I think this track is probably the best from her current album, which is kind of unfortunate.

  52. M.... S....

    File under: WACK/OVERRATED

  53. I.... ....

    How did you even manage to fuck up the audio so badly. Color me impressed. And annoyed. Y'all should fix that asap.

    I.... ....

    it's just that the entire band that sucks.  Really...sorry to say

  54. M.... ....

    videos are always so good

  55. X.... ....

    these all seem to have a weird second track playing. the actual album isnt like this people, don't be put off.

    X.... ....

    hahaha, yes but this's been oked by Dreijer though

  56. T.... E....

    Hands down my favorite song on the new album

    T.... E....

    hands down the dorkiest person on this thread

  57. S.... P....

    Yesssss awesome!!!

    S.... P....

    yessss slap yourself!

  58. A.... V....

    i hope a official music video

    A.... V....

    I hope not.

  59. t.... ....

    nasty bed bugs

  60. O.... I....

    omg NOW she is REALLY back! the spirit is there , the amazing haunted sound I used to love the most....

  61. A.... H....

    Another one of the best tracks of the album. I would love to hear this live on stage. <3

    A.... H....

    I would rather listen to dogs howling.  what's your point?

    A.... H....

    I like this song. I'm guessing you don't. Two points made and still no world peace ;)

    A.... H....

    Then go do that, you whiny bitch.

  62. D.... M....

    Wonderful song. Those violin strings wonderfully build the pain of a heart. Such a lyrical pain.

    D.... M....

    shut yo lame ass up

    D.... M....

    Feel the pain of the heart. Be one with it it. Touch it. Explore it... Fuck it... Do all what is needed to understand the lyrical pain <3

  63. J.... W....

    I really hope this one gets an official video. I love this song.

  64. J.... R....

    Minha favorita do álbum ate agora !
    My favorite album so far!

  65. C.... B....

    The lyrics, the meaning of this song & the sound that enhances this picture (I'm speaking of the song) is fucking brilliant!

  66. H.... D....

    I'm so in love with this woman's talent.

    H.... D....

    your standards must be low. just saying...

  67. �.... B....

    awsome!

  68. B.... U....

    ..WONDERFUL!! Specially for its sweetness from 3:00

  69. V.... T....

    *Fever Ray - "Red Trails"*

    Blood was our favourite paint
    You were my favourite pain
    Waiting for your love to happen
    Is like waiting for a drug that never kicks in

    Left traces, red trails
    Ocean spray us, dance
    Your endless radiance
    Dismantle us
    Touching in the snow one day
    Laying low and kissing

    Setting the snow on fire
    Watching over vivid dreams
    This too will pass
    Under the moon we last
    Arranging my friend's scenery
    And inviting them to sing

    Blood was our favourite paint
    You were my favourite pain
    Scratches when skin's too thin
    Throwing me someone new to take in

    V.... T....

    Você Tem Razão!
    Pepsi always saving our day <3

    V.... T....

    Pepsiman!

    V.... T....

    🖤💜❤

  70. C.... M....

    At the beginning, sounds a little like Metal Gear Solid 4, but I like it.

  71. L.... B....

    I think i like this song... not sure... but is art

    L.... B....

    or maybe, just maybe, this song SUCKS! You ever thought about that?

    L.... B....

    +Mikey Sal thanks to say it i was trying to be kind :P

  72. F.... d....

    Lost in the maze of time

  73. I.... ....

    This would make an awesome source for an even faster, harder remix...

    I.... ....

    not sure anything could make this better.  that's like saying perfume will make a ball of shit better.

    I.... ....

    red tails vs itch coming soon. speed it up, pitch it around, mash them together and... no more shit.

  74. i.... k....

    beautiful song, thanks for sharing

    i.... k....

    you're welcome.  now go slap yourself.

  75. P.... C....

    ok the sound is so unbelievably fucked up i can't believe it's unintentional

    P.... C....

    I can't believe she (fever guey) is intentional.

    P.... C....

    Paweł Cech it's so much different on the album. This upload beat has a terrible echo.

  76. -.... ....

    Why is the sound fucked up???????

    -.... ....

    What happens with audio, plz???

    -.... ....

    oh, honey, it's everything not just the sound quality.  All of this is fucked up.  Strident and pointless.  Go find better music.  The WWW is WIDE.

    -.... ....

    you're either dumb or a very ineffective troll. choose.

    -.... ....

    your audio card is fucked? dunno, be more specific

  77. C.... C....

    Best Song On The ALBUM

    C.... C....

    that's not saying much then....

    C.... C....

    I agree @Christopher

    C.... C....

    I really liked Wanna Sip too!

  78. J.... B....

    so far the best track of the record

    J.... B....

    Joseph Bicalho I haven't been the biggest fan of the latest record (like her other songs a lot more), but this song is different and I've already played it several times. Last night, I listened to it 4 times (3 in a row and once before bed). It's honestly so pretty, and I mean, to all their own (I'm seeing a lot of people in the comments not liking this song), but I seriously love it.

    J.... B....

    im totally with you, Izzy <3

    J.... B....

    I think that the positive reception this song has is due to it being closest song in the album to the tone of her earlier album.

    J.... B....

    I definitely agree with you Pikkabuu. I love the album in its entirety <3

    J.... B....

    Yes I have to agree with that... I've listened to six of the tracks so far and despite the high rating on Metacritic I don't think it's a patch on the brilliant FEVER RAY debut album from a few years back.

  79. T.... ....

    Queen of locking her fans up in never-ending corridors

  80. O.... ....

    Perfect opening. ❤️ Unghhh I'm so glad you're back.

    O.... ....

    and an even better closing. matter of fact, don't even START this song...we'll all be better. lol

    O.... ....

    Obsidia
    So am I.......so am I 😌🖤

  81. d.... g....

    okay at this point the fucked up audios gotta b on purpose

    d.... g....

    I'm starting to think she uploads these by herself when she's drunk in the bathtub or something

    d.... g....

    Yeah, I think it's a subliminal message about echos and songs. In the end is the beginning.

    d.... g....

    delaney g what are you talking about? It sounds good. It doesn't sound messed up?

    d.... g....

    It actually is kind of messed up here. I, too, didn't hear anything when I first heard it. Bought the album though and it definitley doesn't sound like that on the album version. Theres some sort of loop or overlap here, I just don't know whether this was an accident or on purpose.

    d.... g....

    I'm guessing it's so that when people download it, they won't be getting the actual real song.

  82. R.... V....

    QUEEN OF OFFICIAL AUDIO!

    R.... V....

    hahaha this made me laugh i dunno why <3

  83. S.... W....

    Why is the audio of this and Mustn't Hurry weird? Is it a sign they will have their own music videos?

    S.... W....

    No, it's just a sign they SUCK.  :)
