Production note: Lol. This has not yet been recorded at all. Ariel heard us play it live and demanded it be added to the album. After reflecting on the request, we agree, but must book a new studio date.


Lovely 

To the creatures in my head:
Please don't kill me, I'm still learning.
To the creatures in my head:
Please be patient, I'm in pain.

I may be a fucked-up mess,
But I've never been better.
Please just give me one more day.
I can learn to be lovely.

To the friends outside my head:
Please don't leave me, I am lonely.
To the friends outside my head:
Please be patient, I am scared.

I may be a fucked-up mess,
But I've never been better.
Please just give me one more day.
I can learn to be lovely.

Mood enhanced by Coca-Cola, look enhanced by mascara.
Constant chatter mixed with laughter,
Constant crises to look after.
I can't calculate the danger even with a physics major,
But just give me one more year.
I can learn to be lovely.

I may be a fucked-up mess,
But I've never been better.
Please just give me one more day.
I can learn to be lovely.

I may be a fucked-up mess,
But I've never been better.
Please just give me one more day.
I can learn to be lovely.

Fucked up (Lovely)

Fuck This Shit

du sitt å se på TV 
e gretten du e sur
æ skal finne glede
go’dag, goodbye, adieu

Go'dag Goodbye Adieu

In general this song is about the sad fact that we can hurt people we love without meaning to. It reads as a breakup song, although I wrote it when I was still with my boyfriend, but started to question if we are really meant for each other romantically. At the end he left me and he is dating a girl with diabetes. The irony of life :D They are both very cool people though.  ~Asia


Diabetic broken heart
I didn't care for early signs.
Accumulated damage over long time.
I never had to cry. Until now. Until now.

And you only meant well.
You fed me sugar, but you didn't know.
You only meant well.

Diabetic broken heart
I didn't care for early signs. 
I try to process all the things you feed me.
It would be easier if I was sure I need this.

And you only meant well.
You fed me sugar, but you didn't know.
You only meant well.

Diabetic Broken Heart

i’m not gonna match my socks today
i usually do, but i got this feeling in my brain
that i wanna do something crazy

so i’m not gonna match my socks today
some purple and blue, maybe a dinosaur too
i’m trying something new and we’ll see where it takes me


i don’t want to wear my shoes to work
my feet are tired of being confined 
inside a mold that someone else designed

so i don’t want to wear my shoes to work
i’m armed with a dinosaur sock and i dare you
today’s not the day to try and put me in line


 and maybe i’ll bring a gun to school
see what they do, yeah see what they do
if i shoot just think of all the mayhem

so maybe i’ll bring a gun to school
tell everybody to bring theirs too
and maybe we’ll end up soaking wet 
from super soaker jets

Dinosaur Mayhem

i picked out a feeling 
and cut up my organs 
divided them even 
to make room for it 
i climbed up a steeple 
looked out at the people 
i stood on the ledge 
and i jumped off for it

sunrise and sunset 
a body crumpled on the concrete 

i taped all my thoughts 
to a little red top 
and i spun and i spun 
and i spun round for it 
i dangled my legs 
from a telephone wire 
heard them calling my name 
and i let go for it 

sunrise and sunset 
a body crumpled on the concrete

Telephone Wire

I wrote the lyrics to this song shortly before Gypsy Chicken was created, without knowing how well it will fit with our shared philosophy. This song talks about a tree, which symbolizes love. Everyone should be free to love whoever they want. It is also ok to love more than one person, even romantically, as long as you are honest and treat everyone with respect. The tree doesn't care, it just wants to grow. Sometimes a branch needs to be cut for the tree to be healthy. That's ok as well. 
The tittle refers to two women: Edda, who is the great grandmother in the Norse Mythology, and Eve - the first woman according to the Bible. I find both of those woman wise and wanted to invert the trope of eating a fruit by Eve being a sin. ~Asia


A massive trunk with twisted branches
Cinnamon bark and vibrant green leaves.
Before its sight everyone blanches
Calls the lonely, naive and thieves.

It's bearing fruits of different colors
None of them ever can taste the same.
Some bring you happiness, some sorrow
Stir up the demons that you tamed.

They told me that if you mix the flavors 
You'll always get a bitter taste.
I learned that if you're very careful
None of the fruits will go to waste.

Cut off dead branches, water the ground
But never arrogantly trust 
That perfect way is to be found
That'll make the tree forever last.

It's after all a wild creation
That has been here longer than time.
It has no point no destination
No point, no point.

Other than grow a thicker trunk 
Other than smell of cinnamon bark
Other than make new twisted branches
Covered with green leaf avalanches.

Edda & Eve

This song is in norwegian, where I play with the word "spinn", since there are many words that have it in their roots. The idea came up to me, when I was thinking about if the sadness I am feeling comes from the outside world or am I the source of my misery. Am I the spider that catches the fly, or the fly caught by a spider? That is the main question presented in the song, put together with disturbing images of a person trapped in the Arctic either with a constant sunlight or lack of it, unable to sleep, tell time and process their emotions. ~Asia


Hvor lang var natt? Jeg viste ei. 
Ingen lys i kjelleren. 
I hjørnet vokste spindelvev
Og tankespinn i hjernen.
Er jeg en flue some er tatt 
En edderkopp som spinner?
Sover jeg her på grunn av natt
Eller sola som skinner? 

Hvor lang var dag? Det vet jeg ei. 
Det er aldri mørkt på loftet.
I hjørnet står en spinnerokk
Og klekker egg i hjertet. 
Var det Fugelen Rokk som stjal 
Fra sjelen og fra sinnet?
Var det heksens giftige tein
Som tvang meg til å spinne?

ENGLISH TRANSLATION=)))

how long is day? 
how would i know
there's never light in the basement
in the corner grows a spiderweb
and thoughts spinning in your brain
am i a fly that's been caught? 
Or the spider that weaves
do i sleep here because of night? 
or because the sun shines

how long was night?
i never know
it's never dark in the attic 
in the corner stands a spinning wheel 
and hatches eggs in the heart
was it the bird, Rokk, that stole 
from my soul and mind?
was it the witch's poisonous thorn 
that compelled me to spin?

Spinn

I got an idea for a song, by thinking of writing about jealous girl named Lucy.  I found it clever at the time. I gave the lyrics to Solvei and she made it better.  But I am not jealous...



ah Lucy oh Lucy 
she holds her precious dreams too tight 
when they escape to catch their breath 
it's never her fault, never her fault 
it’s the next pair of hands they landed on 

ah Lucy oh Lucy 
she clings and grabs with desperate hands 
when nothing works she doubles down 
it's never her that didn't learn, it's never her 
it's the world that isn't fair 

Lucy have you tried 
Lucy have you tried 
being Lucy for a while
not a heart dead set on winning, not an ego locked and spinning, not a loser 
just Lucy for a while

Lucy

I find the continual beginning and end of relationships fascination. It seems to mirror everything in life. All things seem to repeat themselves endlessly, but each repetition is ever so slightly different. The only real constant is the existence of a beginning and an end. ... i've hurt a number of people in my life by leaving them or not being willing to commit to them, but I've always felt they should have known better than to bet on me. i've never pretended to be the kind of person who wants to settle down with someone. but this is also a song to myself in the instances when i was the one who fell in love with someone i maybe shouldn't have...
- Solvei

the tide goes out 
and comes around 
but different water meets the ground 

oh i know i hurt you bad 
i know i hurt you bad
but you're the one who fell in love 
with someone you shouldn't have 

the sun hides away 
and comes back to play 
meanwhile a couple things have changed 

oh i know i hurt you bad 
i know i hurt you bad
but you're the one who fell in love 
with someone you shouldn't have 

all thing end 
and come again 
the middle is the tricky bit 
yeah the middle makes you play roulette

oh i know i hurt you bad 
i know i hurt you bad
but you're the one who fell in love 
with someone you shouldn't have

Roulette

I wrote this song during the time I challenged myself to write something every day. I wasn't particularly proud of this one, but my boyfriend at the time heard me playing it from the bedroom and wanted to jam over it. He liked it and then Solvei loved the lyrics, which is surprising given how much she likes control :D. The songs talks about the lack of free will - the realization I had in my late teens that made me question religion. I spent a lot of time discussing it with people, hoping one of them will convince me I am wrong. Finally I realized that it is ok and not having control doesn't affect the beauty of this universe. ~Asia


I don't believe you own your choices. 
You cannot pick what you prefer.
Your genes, parents and dreams 
It is easy to see 
I’ve never been the one in control. 

For over 13 billion years
The universe has morphed and burnt 
Accidentally creating me, evolving souls from the sand.
What's the point of that? 

They say i cannot think like that,
How can i get up every day?
When i don't feel the pride
Don't strive to be someone.
I’ve never been the one in control. 

For over 13 billion years 
The universe has morphed and burnt 
Accidentally creating me, evolving souls from the sand.
Where's the pride in that? 

For those who still will question fate, 
And judge the ones that quit this game,
I don’t care what you say
You are wrong anyway 
You've never been the one in control. 
I've never been the one in control.
There's no one ever in control. 

For over 13 billion years 
The universe has morphed and burnt 
Accidentally creating me, evolving souls from the sand 
Accidentally creating us, evolving souls from the stars.
And here we are.

Clockwork Universe

Asia and I were planning on practicing on my sailboat one nice spring day in 2018. I forgot that there was construction going on from 8am-8pm. There were expanding the Tromsø island for development near the harbour and pounding a barrier of giant metal poles into the ground to hold the new shoreline in place. The hammering rang loudly all day long... so as we sat there intending to practice... we had a very set metronome. It inspired the chorus of this song "down down down." 
- Solvei


psychotropic air balloons 
kaleidoscopic climb 
plastic bags and bits of string 
and hasty homemade kites 

ay ay ay ay ay 
spiralling down

slack-line strung from cloud to cloud 
a teeter totter daze 
fingers into feathers 
cardboard castles into space 

ay ay ay ay ay 
spiralling down

kamikaze paper planes 
and dreams and matchbox tricks 
renegading windmill blades 
refusing to be fixed 

ay ay ay ay ay 
spiralling down


lyrics by Solvei

Kamikaze Paper Planes
