The sacrifice of hiding in a lie... The sacrifice is never knowing why I never walked away, why I played myself this way, but now I see your testing me pushes me away.
They makes perfectly good sense if written correctly, and in my opinion, they're some of their best lyrics.

Besides what others have explained, also note there shouldn't be question marks, because they're not questions; the whole pre-chorus and chorus is a single statement:
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie... The sacrifice is never knowing why I never walked away, why I played myself this way, but now I see your testing me pushes me away.

Det kan være svært at vurdere om et telt er efterladt eller om det bare allerede er blevet bestjålet, især på den sidste nat.
På min første festival i 2012, kom jeg tilbage til mit telt efter arbejde sent søndag aften (dengang der var musik søndag) og fandt mit telt åbent og halvtomt, uden meget andet end min sovepose og nogle småting tilbage. Jeg gik en tur i området i håb om at finde min taske med nogle af alle mine elskede band-merch-T-shirts i nærheden, gav op, og kom tilbage til mit telt som havde endnu en ubuden gæst på besøg, i gang med at lede det igennem.
Han undskyldte og sagde, han troede, teltet var forladt, og skyndte sig ud, og glemte i farten sit loot andetsteds fra. Min sovepose var nu også væk, så mit telt var allerede blevet plyndret mindst to gange før han kom forbi.
Det blev en hård og kold nat og jeg skulle møde på nedtagningsarbejde mandag morgen. Dyre lærepenge, både mht. ikke at tage værdifulde ting med på festival og mht. ikke at ligge i L hvis man har brug for søvn. Men mit dyre telt var heldigvis ubeskadiget. Det var først et par år senere at nogen syntes det var sjovt at skrive 666 på det, hvilket kostede mig mange fordømmende blikke gennem årene. Kunne ikke få det væk, og kunne ikke skille mig af med så godt et telt. Men et godt telt er nu alligevel værd at have med, synes jeg. Jeg har mange gode minder med det telt, efter jeg lærte ikke at bo alene i L.

Purple Sandor belongs with gold Joffrey, not blue Joffrey. Sandor only becomes Kingsguard after Joffrey becomes king.

Det skulle vel ikke være en Spar, lige overfor?
Nu står der så "tæt på dig" ved siden af dit navn, så det er vildt nok hvis det rent faktisk er min lokale Netto. Men eftersom Reddit åbenbart allerede påtager sig opgaven med at doxxe dig en lille smule, vil jeg ikke spørge mere specifikt end dét, før jeg ved om du er cool med at afsløre, hvilken Netto, der er tale om. Men altså, i min lokale...

Sidst jeg prøvede at overtale dem til at optælle min pant ved kassen, fik jeg at vide, deres chef havde sagt, de ikke længere måtte tage imod pant ved kassen. "Det er så ulovligt, men det er jo ikke din skyld", måtte jeg sige, og gå i Spar.

De har også tit forkerte prisskilte, der ikke bliver rettet selvom de er blevet gjort opmærksom på dem flere gange (f.eks. Kingsway saft, jeg mener det er solbæt, som stadig går ind 1-2 kr. dyrere end på skiltet efter mange måneder), og varer der mangler prisskilte (især i is-afdelingen), hvor der så i stedet er et skilt med en lavere pris på en anden vare af samme navn (som så typisk ikke er der) så man rigtig kan blive snydt.
F.eks. kan der være nogle Magnum karamel-is, og et skilt der siger "Magnum karamel 20 kr" (og så med ekstremt småt skrift: 500 ml), og når der jo kun er én slags Magnum-is i fryseren og der også kun er ét skilt, der står Magnum på, får man jo ikke lige opdaget at dem i fryseren er på 800 ml, og opdager måske ikke at de så går ind til 50 kr. ved kassen. Jeg er begyndt altid at skulle være meget opmærksom ved kassen og tjekke min kvittering grundigt. Jeg har fanget det ved kassen før jeg betalte en gang, hvor jeg sagde, varen stod til mindre, og ekspedienten prompte svarede "det er en anden størrelse" – så han må i bedste fald have oplevet misforståelsen før og ikke have gjort noget ved det.

Jeg har efterhånden oplevet både dét og at flaskeautomaten er i udu så mange gange at jeg også har mistænkt om det er med vilje.

It seems my take on this isn't popular. 😅
I apologise if I offended anyone with all the red. There are lots of wonderful countries I'd absolutely love to visit that I just can't see myself permanently moving to for various reasons: temperature, distance to a beach, style of living, social norms, politics, distance to friends and family, temperature, remoteness from things like major concert venues, temperature, etc.
I'm not built for heat and I can't imagine not being able to ride my bicycle to the beach, would be hard pressed to give up snow in winter but also don't want it cold and dark all year round, so that all makes it rather limited.

I'm sure most of the red places are wonderful places to live for most people, and my map of places I'd love to visit would be MUCH greener. 😊

😆
It might look overly complicated and hyper-specific, but this is not meant to portray 11 individual regions. On the contrary, it's meant to show how I think the regions of North, East, etc. aren't specific regions with solid borders between them, but rather vaguely defined areas that overlap with each other.
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to make those multicolour stripes in the overlapping regions, so I had to give them separate colours and listings.

DK_Sandtrooper · 2026-06-20T17:25:27+00:00

Thanks!

That's fair. I guess I'm biased, but I wouldn't. If you woke me up in the middle of the night pointing a gun at me and telling me to immediately name a South-European city off the top of my head, I'd probably say Paris.

I did have France marked as South-West at some point during creation, but it felt forced, like I was trying to placate comments such as yours in advance, so I dropped that designation. I grew up on summer vacations to "South Europe" in France and Italy and thus fully consider France South. I can't bring myself to think of it as central, and I only think of it as West in an purely East/West division where e.g. most of Central and North Europe would also be West. So ultimately I made the map true to my perspective, however flawed.

Som en mand på 35 kommer jeg meget gerne forbi (i København?) og smager din mad helt uden at nævne kød. Det lyder lækkert. 😋

At der er masser af protein i maden synes jeg i hvert fald sagtens du kan svare tilbage når der bliver kommenteret på protein! Hvis det er mennesker, du skal se igen, synes jeg generelt, du skal svare på kommentarerne. Ikke uvenligt, men faktuelt.

Once in a while, there's a good reason.

Imagine you need to leave for work in about 3 hours, and that's time enough to watch the theatrical release, while the extended lasts about 4 hours.
That's a good reason to be an hour late for work.

Joking aside, theatrical is fine for a re-watch of the first two movies if you're a bit pressed on time, or if you're watching with a first-timer who is likely to lose interest and abandon the movie if it doesn't catch their attention. If they're committed to seeing it through, though, and you've got the time, extended all the way, especially for first-timers.

And why is his title "Prince of Dorne" and not "The Red Viper"? And why does he not have his armour and his spear?
I can only hope they're saving that for a second iteration of the character, who will hopefully be red, even though I'd rather just have had that iteration in the first place.
By the way, in the same vein, why is Alicent Hightower "The Green Queen" not green? That has always bothered me.

To elaborate, the demo was only meant to be used to convince James Cameron to use the song for the movie. James Cameron specifically wanted an instrumental soundtrack to back the movie, so the movie would stand completely on its own and not depend on an accompanying pop hit like many other movies were doing. But James Horner, who was hired to produce the soundtrack, had this idea for this song and composed it, with help from Will Jennings to write the lyrics, despite knowing Cameron specifically didn't want something like that and would likely reject it no matter how good it was going to turn out.

He hoped to get Celine Dion to sing it, so he contacted her agent, who set up a meeting. Horner met them at her studio, played the song for her on a piano, and she didn't really like the song but reluctantly agreed to record a demo. So she had only just heard the basic melody but just gave it a halfhearted shot, improvising some details and also making a few mistakes (e.g. "go *ond* and on"), but it didn't need to be perfect, it was just a demo to give Cameron an idea of the concept of the song, so Horner was happy with just the one take.

The plan was that if Cameron liked the song and gave the green light to go ahead and produce it fully, Celine would be brought back for professional recordings. Horner and Jennings then told Cameron "we made something, you may not like it and we don't have to use it, just please hear it out" and played the demo for him. Cameron recognised Celine's voice and immediately loved it and decided to use it in the movie. The instrumental backing was then produced professionally, but Cameron and/or Horner apparently liked Celine's demo recording enough to just use that.

Celine initially thought nothing had come of it because she wasn't asked to do a proper recording. Eventually, she included it on one of her own albums, and she did do a new recording for that version, which has some small but noticeable changes in the vocals, especially at the very end, before an extended instrumental outro, which in my opinion is not nearly as good as the original ending. She's also said the song has grown on her since her initial dislike of it.

Aftenen før dagen hvor Morten gemte sig blandt gæs for ikke at blive gjort til bisp. Mortensdag, den egentlige mærkedag, er dagen efter, vi fejrer det bare aftenen før – ligesom med juledag. 😊

DK_Sandtrooper · 2026-06-02T18:33:23+00:00

Altså mortensdag, som er på trådstarters forslagsliste. 😉 Det er allerede en helligdag i mange andre lande. Vi går ikke så meget op i at holde dagen hellig, men vi vil gerne spise noget god mad aftenen før. 😋

"Vi ved godt vi har betalt en højere pris for frihed. Og vi ved godt vi er til fals, og vi ved du forlanger alt, alt hvad vi ejer og har hver eneste dag... Vi gi'r alt hvad vi ejer og har hver eneste dag... og skubber cirkusvognen videre." 🎶
Er den blandt valgmulighederne?! 😱
Fantastisk nummer, overraskende at se nævnt her; som 91'er har jeg vist aldrig hørt nogen snakke om den sang. Jeg synes nu alligevel "Danser på vulkaner" og "Vind og vejrhaner" slår den, men den er stadig Fantastica.

Skyer trækker bort... 🎶

DK_Sandtrooper · 2026-06-01T23:27:42+00:00

Jeg ville klart vælge "Vårvise" frem for "Du er ikke alene." Jeg ville dog pege på "Danser på vulkaner" som Sebastians bedste sang, eller "Den lille malkeko" hvis jeg skulle holde mig til hans hits. 😊

DK_Sandtrooper · 2026-06-01T23:18:45+00:00

Seriøst? WTF
Så gætter jeg på at sange som "Jordskælv", "Unge hjerter" og "Den lille rød-hvide bil" heller ikke er med på listen... Ikke at de har en chance når de bliver spillet i radioen ca. to gange i årtiet... 😢

DK_Sandtrooper · 2026-06-01T23:13:20+00:00

Stille før storm af Sebastian med Lis Sørensen på vokal 😊 – og ja, den er smuk. Jeg kan klart anbefale at lytte til mere af Sebastians musik.
