Big guys keep touching their
Cell phones, laptops
Like their willies
In street cafes, restaurants
They sway like haymen1
Even if there's no field to be seen
And the big guy is in panic
When a beautiful woman asks for light
Man's grave!
In the dimness of electric sauna
Rubs his skin too much
Almost until it bleeds
When trying to wash his shame away
Loves but doesn't say it
Doesn't apologize, doesn't beg
Lives like a living dead
Wake up man, take your TV and go!
Man's grave!
A man is an inconsolable sight like a grave or
Like a Saturday without wife, sauna and a bottle
Man's grave!
Moments of happiness only
In a dream or when drunk
When wriggling above a woman
Mouth is shut but the man screams
It's so fucking fun
That at last we die laughing
An endless line of men
Slithers like a snake to the grove of Underworld
Man's grave!
A man is an inconsolable…
- like an overgrown path or a road
Which leads to the ruins of childhood
No matter is it woman's arms or a road
Both take us to the same address:
Man's grave!
Why can you never reach out your hands
At least to a juniper, when you reach out to a spruce?2
Man's grave!
1. "Heilua kuin heinämies" is a saying and it pretty much refers to someone who, for example, flails around unnecessarily.2. This refers to "Joka kuuseen kurkottaa, se katajaan kapsahtaa" which is another saying, meaning that if you reach out to a spruce, you will just fall on a juniper. Basically it is better not to try to reach out for something very good (like if you have a very ambitious dream) because you won't get it anyway or it won't end that well.
