Statement #1
01:04
|
|||
we are no longer needed here
equality doesn't start with attention
for male egos
equality doesn't start with trophy handouts
for nice guy of the year award
it starts with shutting up
and realizing that
this is inequality
remove the y-chromosome from your life

Dethrone Me
03:28
|
|||
drown with me
i concede that i am weak
strip me of my pride
i am a cavity, a waste of space
emasculate me
i was conceited and i saw
the way i injected you with
sex, shame and insecurities
exhale the norms
and inhale the possibilites
put me on the sidelines
the knight in silver armor
exerts his power of
captivation and captivity
cross me out
justify the harm i put you through
you won’t be crawling back to this
to the back alley of your mind
there's nothing left for you here
but the games i play
to "let" you wake up in my bed
if my words hold no value
everything is in its right place
don't change yourself for me
to fit my standards
i'm not worth it
dethrone me
you were not unconfident
you were not provocative
you were never asking for it
dethrone me

Pixelated Youth
02:14
|

dry lips / time slips
i'm apparently a dead beat
with a touch of defeat
i'm filling up your backseat
with regrets and countless debts
i'm as close to breaking down as it gets
change the gear, disappear
when i'm on the edge
of the city skyline,
hopelessly aligned
to the corporate spine
i will return and i will yearn
for something to burn
no consolation
no inspiration
no sensation left
but this is not over
are you afraid to
live without your routines?
you put your trust in their
mirages and scenes
without even knowing what it means
to be deprived of something
or to have survived
no admiration
just isolation
this devastation
has no restoration

Saccharine
03:18
|
|||
i could try, try to get past the pain
i realise i have lied to myself for years
that i'm not satisfied
i could fail
fail to leave behind what i've lost
'cause it still lingers with every step
looking back at all the things
i should've done
tiny transmission waves on your wrist
i'd love to wear them for you
to dress up in your anxiety
and your fears
fleeting, beating, deceiving feelings
leave your marks, see the sparks
of our day dream flicker and fade
you're so serene, saccharine
you're nailed into me
i'll miss you in this satisfaction
cold caresses, sending you away
but the worst is
it takes some time to let you go;
put my love aside
you're so serene, saccharine
you're nailed into me
and i'll miss you
in the saddest fashion
before you wear me out

Like Electricity
03:14
|
|||
can you feel the rhythm in your veins?
get the feeling but afraid to show it?
move to the pulse of passion
dance to the beat of the revolution
cast aside your fears
release your inner heart
pour the milk on my skin
and dance to the beat
of the revolution
let your audacity flow
ignore his taste in your mouth
sorrow does not hold you here
dance to the beat of the revolution
dance to the movement
a world of light
we revolve around her
a world of love
dance to the revolution
do you feel the electricity?
can you feel it through your bones?

In Lieu of Love
03:04
|
|||
i wish you could love without distance
never asking for warm caress
or a figure to follow
or even a helping hand
still following your footsteps
i'd rather starve than to be hungry for attention
the greatest lie i have ever told
staring down the bottom of the glass
to fill the absence
severed ties and different names
afterimages and forgotten heirs
your ego remains untouched
the single root of our family tree
forest fires and confrontations
enemies for following generations
but i am the same bad seed as you
the same hollow body,
the same hollow love
child of imagination felt the bloodhail
and the salt of someone's elses unburdened skin
child of paper walls uncollapsed
veered between fragility and rejection
fill the void with chains
i would rip them out if only you would let me
they have settled and built a home
counting down the days until they move out of you.
and in to me.

Blooming Guilt
03:48
|
|||
don't give up on me now
blithe and insensible
i need you
all the things they said
to make you demure
i feel you
can't stand to think
where you would've been now
open the door
two hundred units of vacant hearts
don't call, i'm appalled
but in the long haul
i still feel it
a life longed by the living
we could drive forever
but what if we were never here?
we could drive forever until
you saw the dark waves
parliamentary death of '14
i think you felt it
mellan sandarna och hisingen
give me strength
to talk about it
give me alleviation
can't stand the end
a life longed by the living
we could drive forever
but what if we were never here?
we could drive forever until
can't stand the end

Dark Capital
02:36
|
|||
take me back where i belong
resist, exist
forced into cages,
forced into the industry
take my flesh
consume, produce
birthed into slavery
birthed into lifelessness
capitalize on the entrails
look the other way
the earth is sufficient
but you want blood
on your hands
tell them it's alright
”this is how it's always been”
since history is
so flawlessly correct
systematic murder,
you're all part of this
collapse, collapse
you can't stand to make a change
for a better life
give up, give up
collapse, collapse,
dark capital
wasting lives
(excess, oppress)
crawling back
(so weak, oblique)
no forgiveness
(collapse, collapse)
lifeless
systematic murder,
you're all part of this
collapse, collapse
you can't stand to make a change
for a better life
give up, give up
collapse, collapse,
dark capital
wasting lives
crawling back
no forgiveness
collapse, collapse,
dark capital

Melatonin
02:43
|
|||
these words are not loud enough
to express the regret of my elitist self
judged your every move
to ignore my own flaws
the people in my life
are like sunspots in my eyes
everywhere i go
time to rest
take the pills
you're better off without me,
so why do you remember me?
too afraid to ever be content
too stupid to do whatever is best for me
this must be a sign that i'm
too afraid of the coward i really am
my mind is weighing me down
my mind is telling me to take it
the pressure is weighing me down
my mind is telling me to take it
take the pills
spend forever asleep

Comfort & Closure
03:50
|
|||
someday i'll write you an anthem
about our loves and losses
about how you pull me back down to earth
but it's not enough
someday i'll write you an anthem
about the high coast and our lives' lowes
oh how you set me free
let's effervesce
along the coastline
celebrate what we hold
and let go of the past
i distintegrate
into a million fragments
i'm everywhere to remind you
that this is not the end
of these times
celebrate what we hold
and let go of the past
a life in the light is a lie
ask yourself
do you deserve this?
someday i'll write you an anthem
about our comfort and closure
about the pain of perseverance
but it's not enough
but at least we're free.
a life in the light is a lie
ask yourself
do you deserve this?
someday i'll write you an nathem
but it's not enough
