lyrics

”Jamen, det er da ikke noget at være bange for!”
Frygt – ikke nærmere angivet – er flydende bekymring hæftet Til en potentiel mulig fremtidig situation Som måske – måske ikke – bliver sådan som man frygter! Men kun indimellem som små sprækker af sort ubehag Midt imellem det, der bare er noget andet. Det, der måske bare er som det altid er. Sådan ok. Og neutralt. I sig selv. Men offer for vores skiftende opfattelser. Offer for vores indre kulør.
Det er nemlig det det er. Den der frygt, der kommer og tager os, når vi mindst venter det. Midt om natten, når vi ligger og vender os i søvne. Og vi kan ikke slippe af med den. Vi kan ikke slippe af med frygten Og vi skal ikke være bange for frygten den kommer og tager os midt om natten midt imellem linjerne på vores værste drømme ”Jeg er altså blevet lidt bange for frygten, men det skal jeg ikke være fordi  det bliver måske kun indimellem til sorte spækker i fremtiden, når vi indimellem i fremtiden FRYYGGTTEERRR!!!!

FEAR
"But well, that’s nothing to be afraid of!"
Fear – in the non-specific sense – is like liquid worry attached to a potential future situation that may or may not turn out as feared But only once in a while like small cracks of black discomfort in the middle of things that are not like that. Things that are maybe just as they always are - kind of ok. And neutral. As a starting point but victims of our ever changing perceptions. Victims of our inner alternating colours.

That’s exactly what it is. That fear that comes to take us when we expect it the least in the middle of the night as we turn in our sleep. And we cannot get rid of it. We cannot get rid of the fear and we shouldn’t be afraid of it, it will come and take us in the middle of the night in the middle and in between the lines of our most horrible dreams! ”I do believe I have become a little afraid of fear – but I shouldn’t be because it will maybe only turn into black cracks in the future, when – every once in a while in the future - we FFEEEAAARRR!!!!
