Vackraste nederlag [English translation]

If my voice should go quiet, my tones disappear, I got myself to blame

The ego is calling me, I've sensed how it feels to be honoured

Is that supposed to be your driving force, turn back time

Look at the hunger, that got me into music to begin with

Got a pressure over my chest sometimes, feels like it's stuck

Calmly breathing, I've almost begun to think that it's my punishment

For my unbelievable laziness, my will often fails

My music is my muse, but she gets treated poorly

But I take out a pen and write yet another line

Spilling out my feelings on my page

Because whenever I look back, music has always been my support

And should I fail it will probably be my most beautiful defeat

Refr.

We're human so we're allowed mistakes

Suddenly everything happens and it turned out like it did

And you are my most beautiful defeat

And I'm proud of it

But are you proud of it?

Of course I'm proud of it

My eyes are leaking and there's a smell of burning, my glance is empty

Won't get up from bed for some nice weather and a piece of sun

What is everyone singing about? Some kind of notorious courage

No, let me punish myself in peace, what a clever approach

Although I know, I still wonder what's wrong with me

Put myself in the situation when I I chose to play the game

Superior opponent, still I I chose to play it

Was so madly in love that it hurt just looking at you

What I mean is,[we were] never meant to be of the same species

Within time you became awful and I turned out the same

No more you and me, my own choice after all

Turned my eyes away from the beautiful, a necessary defeat

She moved to the capitol

From Norrland1 she went

Early eighties

Got a job, arranged a living

She already had her sister there

And before you knew it she had changed town and career

But what did she discover

Love was lurking around the corner

It usually does

She fell madly in love, head over heels

In a lovable man

If you hear this he will at least know there were feelings involved

Once upon a time, different present moments

He said there would never be anyone else

She said the same

Two years later they had a child together

But something was about to happen, he wasn't the one he used to be

Treated her like a dirtbag treats his woman

How would she dare, but promised herself

That her child would never grow up in such a home

Left pain, left fear, left him

Moved back to Norrland and left Stockholm

She and her son alive, a struggle to overcome

And she did and became the strongest woman in the world

Single with her own child

And she made sure that it would never turn into a defeat

Refr.
