That Battle Is Over

Jenny Hval

    What is it to take care of yourself?
    What are we taking care of?
    A million bedrooms with hands softly
    Lulling our divine cocks and cunts
    Without telling anyone, a million
    Ships come alone out on the calmest seas
    So are we loving ourselves now?
    Are we mothering ourselves?

    Statistics and newspapers 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 fearfull out here on the calmest
    Seas, we who grew up singing
    Merry christmas! War is over!
    Our mothers softly humming: We're at the edge of history

    But, but I keep growing older, eight years since 25 now
    And all that ages now is the body, is the body, body
    I wonder why, I think to myself
    One of these days everything
    I write begins with the question:
    What's wrong with me?
    What's wrong with me?

    You say I'm free now that battle
    Is over and feminism is over and socialism's
    Over yeah, say I can consume what I want now
    Consume what I want now
    This is what happens on the edge of history:
    The great eye turns to us

    We are the only thing that's aging
    But we don't know it yet
    We cling onto heaven
    Heaven
    Heaven
    Heaven
    Sleep tight forever
    Sleep tight forever
