The Actor Lyrics
[Intro: Ragnar Þórhallsson]
Tveir
Einn, tveir, þrír, fjór
[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
Oh, that’s it, what an entrance, what a stunt I pulled
The thoughts they smash against my skull
I’m in deep, lipstick on my teeth, a little on my cheek
I think I’ve lost my sense of humour
[Chorus: Nanna, Nanna & Ragnar]
I remember we were waiting like two kinds in the parking lot
Keep it separate, is it enough that it’s breaking my heart?
I forget I’m masquerading, we were laughing and then I was not
Keep it separate, is it enough that I’m playing the part?
Ooh, ooh-ooh, is it enough that I’m playing the part?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Nanna]
Oh, my heart, what a horror show
With her crooked noses, says. “Odds are ever in my favour”
Could that be my magnum opus?
More like bulls*it, my grandiose tumor
[Chorus: Nanna, Nanna & Ragnar]
I remember we were waiting like two kinds in the parking lot
Keep it separate, is it enough that it’s breaking my heart?
I forget the masquerading, it was snowing and then it was not
Keep it separate, is it enough that it’s breaking my heart?
I admit I’m a bit frustrated and I’m tired and I lost the plot
Keep it separate, is it enough that I’m playing the part?
Ooh, ooh-ooh, is it enough that I’m playing the part?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, is it enough that I’m playing the part?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, is it enough that it’s breaking my heart?
[Outro: Nanna]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

The Actor Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Ragnar Þórhallsson]
Counting in Icelandic, like getting ready to start something.
[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
The singer is reflecting on a bold move they made and feeling overwhelmed by their own thoughts. They seem caught up in the moment, messy and imperfect, noticing small details like lipstick on their face. There’s a sense of losing control and humor, showing that things aren’t as lighthearted as they might seem.
[Chorus: Nanna, Nanna & Ragnar]
This part talks about trying to act normal while hiding deep emotions. The singer remembers a moment with someone else, feeling both connected and distant. They question if pretending to be fine is enough, and whether keeping feelings hidden can really protect them. There’s a struggle between laughing with others and feeling sadness inside, wondering if simply “playing the part” can ever be enough to handle the pain.
[Verse 2: Nanna]
Here, the singer describes emotional chaos and disappointment. They feel their efforts or achievements are not as impressive as they hoped, even comparing them to something big but unpleasant. It shows frustration and the sense that life isn’t turning out as beautifully as imagined.
[Chorus: Nanna, Nanna & Ragnar]
The chorus returns with even more emotional weight. The singer recalls waiting with someone, trying to separate their true feelings from the mask they show. They admit frustration, tiredness, and confusion, realizing they’ve lost direction. Snowing or not, the external world doesn’t change the internal struggle. They keep questioning if pretending and playing roles is enough to cope with heartbreak. It shows the difficulty of staying composed while emotions are overwhelming, highlighting the constant tension between outward appearances and inner feelings.
[Outro: Nanna]
The ending repeats vocal sounds, reflecting lingering emotion, sadness, and unresolved feelings in a soft, haunting way.
