That Battle Is Over

作词 : Jenny Hval

作曲 : Jenny Hval

What is it to take care of yourself? What are we take in care of?

A million bedrooms with hands softly lulling

our divine dicks and clits, without telling anyone,

a million *****ps come alone out on the calmest seas

So are we loving ourselves now? Are we mothering ourselves?

Statistics and newspaper tell me I am unhappy and dying,

that I need man and child to fulfill me

that I'm more likely to get breast cancer

and it's biology, it's my own fault

it's divine punishment of the unruly

it's fearful out here on the calmest seas,

we who grew up singing. Merry christmas!

The war is over. Our mothers softly humming:

We're at the edge of history

But I keep growing older, eight years since 25 now,

and all that ages now is the body, and I wonder why,

I think to myself one of this days everything I write

begins with the question What's wrong with me?

Yes! You say I'm free now, that battle is over

And feminism's over and socialism's over Yeah!

I say I can consume what I want now.

And this is what happens on the edge of history

the great eye turn to us.

We are the only thing that's aging,

but we don't know it yet, we cling onto heaven

Sleep tight forever, sleep tight forever
