Gender Traitor

Get off my case
Don’t doubt my don’ts
They’re mine to make
You’re a gender traitor
I know I don’t play the role I’m told
I don’t tic the box you think I ought to
I’ll never be one that you look up to
You say I won’t fit into a home
But I do, I’m a brick in a puzzle I make on
my way
Don’t you move a muscle
I will beat you at this game
Tell me more, tell me more
I’m sure you won’t
Change your thoughts on right and wrong
Don’t you know you’re stuck in a gender rigid plot
I won’t take your blame
I’m a woman my own way
Keep your nose to your own waste
Go find your turf when you defecate
Don’t take your shit
Don’t take your shit
Out on me
Out on me
Get off my case
Don’t doubt my don’ts
They’re mine to make
You’re a gender traitor
You’re a gender traitor
Get your knife out off my back
Go choke on yours
Not my mistakes
You’re a gender traitor

We Gonna Fight
02:46
|

Catch them at the end of ropes
Hanging by their throats
History repeats
Turn the clock to ’73
We’re our mother’s mothers
Never really free
Our bodies are political
Our bodies are you and me
You pray for the best to come
But change only comes
When we act as one
We gonna fight
We gonna fight
We gonna fight
This war
From Europe to US
Asia, Middle East and West
Africa, the Faroe (Is)Lands
(we are) women, we are men
We gonna fight
Equality is near
I hear a buzzer in my ear
But it’s all a hoax
A diversion to rise up hopes
We are our mother’s mothers
Never really free
Our bodies are history
Our bodies are you and me

Happy
02:35

Quick but short of breath
I’m moving faster than the rest
I am smiling when it’s tough
I toughen up when struck by luck
One at bay
One at guard
One to gather all the parts
All my different faces count to reach for happy
Capable and lost seem like
Opposites at heart
Like colorful and bleak
I’m more than the medicine I eat
One at bay
One at guard
One to gather all the parts
All my different faces count to reach for happy
Pills make happy
Pills make blue
Pills can make you psycho to
A label on my head
A name on the drugs I have to take
They put me in a bind
I am the sum of what you find
All my different faces count to reach for happy

Ghost Hands

Ghost hands
Ghost men laid a finger on her skin
Ghost hands they never felt anything
Her eyes are shut
Her lips are locked
when the ghost parade leaves without a trace
In the light of dawn the ghosts are all gone
They fade away from me
Apparitions of a nightly dream
Too many walked through the walls
They taught me how to fall
They’re all just ghosts, ghosts in my head
Pillow talks
Drunken hearts
Till death we pledge
As ghosts we part
Always a hunt
She keeps on filling the dump
Beneath the heat, the immediate needs
The body bleeds
Behind her calm he always haunts
Turning men into ghosts
She turns tricks till they’re gone
With a heart of stone she stays alone
They fade away from me
Apparitions of a nightly dream
Too many walked through the walls
They taught me how to fall
I fall, I fall
You’re all just ghosts, ghosts in my head
Pillow talks
Drunken hearts
Till death we pledge
As ghosts we part
We’re all just ghosts

A Mess Copenhagen, Denmark
Danish Rock n’ Riot Grrrl A Mess confronts gender perceptions, and sex with a head-on approach,
channeling the
rebellious spirit of #metoo modern society and early '90s indie punk.
Described by Visions Magazine (GER) as “feministic power pop driven by raw guitar riffs.”.
Imagine if The Breeders bred Avril Lavigne and left the upbringing to Pussy Riot.
