Ton Couteau

Ton Couteau är en del av en pretentiös EP där samma textmaterial på olika språk kommer att bli till ett antal olika låtar. Detta är den franska varianten. Textstöd från Anna Lena och Anders som även samsas om sången.

Qu’est que tu feras 
avec ton couteau?
Qu’est que tu feras
avec ton petit couteau bien aiguisé?

J’ai peur que tu vas faire
avec ton couteau
trop de jours et trop de points de sutures à cause
de ton couteau.

Je veux le planter dans toi.
le planter là dedans.
C’est pour ton bien
quand je t’enfonce.

Je te remercie
que tu le pousses 
si profondément en moi.
Et maintenant je suis entière.
Du moins, presque.
Quatre-vingt pour-cent entière.
Mais le reste est mort.
Depuis que tu as mis ton couteau dans mon dos.

Je veux le planter dans toi.
le planter là dedans.
C’est pour ton bien
quand je t’enfonce.

Je ne suis pas sur le point de rompre.
Je ne suis pas sur le point de mourir.

Your knife

Your knife är en del av en pretentiös EP där samma textmaterial på olika språk kommer att bli till ett antal olika låtar. Får vi hoppas. Väntar på insjungning av person med minst två stämband i drift.

What shall you do?
What shall you do with your knife?
What shall you do
with your razor sharp little knife?

You get under my skin
so much deeper within

Deep inside me
when I’m sleeping, when I’m lost
to the world that I want to see again

You get under my skin
you’re deep within
closer than those I love.
You can touch my heart
that you stop and start
with might like the one above.
I have understood
it’s for my own good
but I know that you will get paid 
so I put my trust
because I must
even though I am

afraid
afraid
so afraid
afraid of your knife 
afraid
afraid
so afraid
afraid for my life

I am grateful
that you put your knife in me
to repair me, cut away the broken parts.

I am almost whole
but the hole in my soul
reminds me of what have been.
There are countless stitches
with scars that itch
but the worst ones cannot be seen.
You must do it again
but we don’t know when
you must cut me, to save my life
I am fully aware
that you don’t care
about my nightmares about your

knife.
Afraid
so afraid
afraid of your knife 
afraid
You get under my skin
so afraid
so much deeper within
afraid
afraid
so afraid
afraid for my life

Dein Messer

Dein Messer är en del av en pretentiös EP där samma textmaterial på olika språk kommer att bli till ett antal olika låtar. Får vi hoppas. Avnjut helst i hörlurar då det gömmer sig en del binauralt pyssel för rumslig placering av ljud.

Dein Messer
in meinem Rücken
Dein Messer
in meinem Bauch
Dein Messer
für mein Glück
und deine Wohlstand auch

Was machst du?
Was machst du mit deinem Messer?
Was machst du?
Mit deinem kleinen scharfen Messer?

Ich fürchte für was du willst mit deinem Messer machen.
Einhundertachtzig Tage Leiden. Soll ich weinen oder lachen?

Musst du es?
Musst du es in mich stecken?
Musst du es
so tief in mich stecken?

Meine Gefühle sind widersprüchlich und komplex
Es ist zu meinem eigenen Besten wenn du es in mich steckst.

Din kniv

Din kniv är en del av en kommande EP där samma textmaterial på olika språk kommer att bli till ett antal olika låtar. Inspelningen är Johans slaskinspelning som förhoppningsvis kommer att få ny sång med tiden.

Vad ska du göra?
Vad ska du göra med din kniv?
Vad ska DU göra?
Med din lilla vassa kniv?

Jag är rädd
för det du vill
göra med din kniv.
Men jag vet
att du vill göra DET
med din kniv.
84 stygn, 180 dygn.
För att du stack in den i mig.

Vill du sticka in den?
Sticka in den i mig?
Måste du sticka in den i MIG?
Det är för mitt eget bästa
när du sticker in den i mig.

Jag vill sticka in den
Sticka in den i dig
Jag måste sticka in den i DIG
Det är för ditt eget bästa
när jag sticker in den i dig.

Jag är innerligt tacksam
för att du stack in den så djupt i mig.
Nu är jag hel.
I alla fall nästan.
80 % hel.
resten död.
Efter att du stack kniven i min rygg.
Inte på väg att gå sönder.
Inte på väg att dö

Content

Are you satisfied with the content
the content of your life?
Are you content with the satisfaction
the satisfaction of the night?

Content
Content

Contemplate the confiscated hours of a day
Concentrate and find the things that makes it worth to stay

Are you satisfied with the continent
the continent where you spend your life? (li li is a half life)
You are upset and intolerant
Is the future elsewhere always bright?

Content
– don’t look back
– don’t attack
– be faithful
– you have everything you need to be

– It’s a fact
we react
ungrateful
take comfort for granted and stop to feel

Afraid of surveillance

Big brother likes to watch,
but he’s had his overdose of pleasure
when people expose their lives
and their secrets at their leisure.

Be careful what you write.
Will it stand a critical inspection?
Your diary not the net
is the place for personal reflections.

You say you’re afraid of surveillance,
but I know you’ve never been.
The deepest fear within you
is the fear not to be seen.

Monitoring every step
of our life without infiltration.
Our free will and vanity
are the reasons to our situation.

Fly under the radar – Meet a friend face to face.
Fly under the radar – Move to a secret place.
Fly under the radar – Only use cash. They don’t leave a trace
Fly under the radar – like a credit card when someone pays.
Fly under the radar – Turn off your phone and stay alone.
Fly under the radar – Don’t use internet, keep your profile low.
Swim over the sonar – Anyone might watch your moves.
Feel your paranoia grows!

Start and continuation of something better

En betraktelse över förändringar i livet.

Start:

Suddenly my life was torn apart
forcing me to a brand new start,
but I don’t know where my steps are leading me.
Still I know the void is worse than falling free.

Sneaking away over night-old ice
with careful steps, fully in disguise.
But the burden of the past weighs my back
and there’s always a risk they are following my tracks.

It’s definetely new.
A new direction in life.
More like reset, than resurrection.
It’s new.
A new way of life.
I have to regret, with less perfection.

Voices are whispering my name
and say: ”Come, we’ll make it all the same!
We’ll give you back the life you didn’t want to leave
if you just give up in everything you believe.”

It’s a perfect time to break up
and a perfect time for breaking down
or maybe both.

Continuation:

I had a place where I belonged.
I had a mission to accomplish.
Now they are gone.

Is this the start of something better
something that will last?
Is this the start of something better
or am I running from the past?
Is this the start of something better
or just a great mistake?
Is this a step into the future
or a step over the edge?

I had a place where I belonged
It was the most quiet place.

Perfect

Det är inte lätt att vara ödmjuk när man är bäst.

Everyone else make mistakes.
Not me, not me.
Everyone else should give and take.
Not me. I just take.
I cannot help I’m without guilt.
It’s just the way that I am built.
That’s why I like to throw the first stone.
It is my duty, my duty alone.

I am perfect.
I do nothing wrong.
I am perfect.
Beautiful and strong.
I lead my men to victory,
I change the path of history,
because it is my destiny to be
perfect.

Do as I say. Keep up the pace.
Obey! Obey!
Don’t mess with my perfect office space.
Just obey or go away.
I build my fortess of concrete and steel.
And from the top I will reveal
that people must think outside the box.
Their own completely meaningless box.

I am perfect.
I do nothing wrong.
I am perfect.
Beautiful and strong.
I lead my men to victory,
I’ll rule the world in harmony,
because it is my destiny to be
perfect.

Future archeology

Civilisationers uppgång och fall.

Take a look 5 – 600 years from now
A fraction of mankind lives on
Building on our ruins
remains of the past
Trying to remember what’s gone.

What will they find,
The future archeologists?
What’s left behind?


Take a look 5-6000 years from now
a new civilization blooms.
Curious of the myths that surround our time,
they start to search for the reason for our doom.

They take a look 5-6 metres under ground
the most robust constructions remain:
silos and deposits for nuclear warheads and waste are found.
They open up Pandora’s box again.

What will they find,
(The sarcophagus around Chernobyl, will be a haunted place,
where the tomb raiders get lethal diseases.)
The future archeologists?
What’s left behind?
(- Lethal diseases)

Take a look 50 million years from now
aliens find a world turned to dust
We were a parenthesis in the history of Earth
A thin layer of poison in the crust.

What will they find,
(Polluted sediments bear witness of a species
that flooded the Earth and perished.)
The future archeologists?
What’s left behind?
(- Polluted sediments)
