Ahay Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ragnar]
I know that I'm wrong
And now we're both sitting in silence
But if it's alright
I'll wrap myself around your cold shoulder

[Chorus: Ragnar & Nanna]
You think you know me, but do you really?
Something you do, something you say, oh, we don't talk about it
You think you know me, but do you really?
There's somethin' 'bout you, somethin' 'bout you

[Post-Chorus: Nanna]
Oh, we don't talk about it

[Verse 2: Ragnar]
A bull without horns
I said nothing, so how come I'm blushing?
And though you are warm
The cold lingers on the tip of your fingers


[Chorus: Ragnar & Nanna]
You think you know me, but do you really?
Something you do, something you say, oh, we don't talk about it
You think you know me, but do you really?
There's somethin' 'bout you, somethin' 'bout you
[Bridge: Nanna]
Oh, you couldn't change this mountain
You've got me out chasing the sound, but I just hear fractions
Oh, you couldn't change this mountain
You've got me out facing the sun, but I just need direction

[Chorus: Ragnar & Nanna]
You think you know me, but do you really?
Something you do, something you say, oh, we don't talk about it
You think you know me, but do you really? (Hey)
There's somethin' 'bout you, somethin' 'bout you

[Post-Chorus: Nanna]
Oh, we don't talk about it

Genius Annotation

“Ahay” is the second track off Of Monsters and Men’s third album, FEVER DREAM.

The synth-aided song finds the protagonist dealing with a breaking point situation with their interlocutor. The main character strives for fixing the decaying vision of the moment, while questioning themselves how truly and deep the receptor of the words knows them. A lack of connection and doubt is present throughout the emotions of the main voice.
