about

For a long time I wanted to write a song with lyrics conserning sexual violence since it's a topic rarely brought up within our scene even though it effects many of us. However, being a mane with no direct experiences of sexual violence I never felt that anything I could write would do the subject justice. Far too many times have I found myself speechless when my friends tell me of their traumatic experiences. The stories fill me with sadness and disgust time and time again but I never find the proper words. In the same way the entire hardcore punk scene seem speechless about a kind of violence that has effected the lives of many of us or people close to us. The thing is that since the norm in the scene still is male the issue of sexual violence is seldom adressed. Many men may see this as something that happens to others and may not realize how real of an issue this is to people all around us. You might live all your life close to someone who has survived sexual violence without knowing it. In a context where some people has started to believe that this isn't an issue (and maybe even something to joke about) we run the risk of getting a culture where survivors don't feel safe and don't feel like they can share their experiences with others.
I try to find words to adress this issue but it the end it's not up to me to give a voice to survivors of something that I havn't experienced. My role is to shut up and show respect when someone choses to tell me about hurtfull experiences and maybe we as a culture can do this too. The first step in this direction is to create a culture of safe spaces where everyone feel welcome. This in short means to not take for granted that everyone else has the same set of experiences as you.

lyrics

det var själva fan vad käften går
jag garvar inte för att jag inte förstår
du ser på mig som om jag inte fattar
ursäkta mig om jag inte skrattar

tro fan aldrig att du vet
något om andras erfarenhet
skiten finns nära nog inpå
det syns inte utanpå

alla sitter inte på din piedestal
och de har inte berättat om sina kval
minnen av skit som du aldrig har sett
lär dig lite vanligt jävla folkvett

våldtäkt är bara ett skämt
för den som inte fattar att det hänt
någon som finns tätt inpå
det syns inte utanpå

stäng ditt fula jävla tryne
stäng ditt fula jävla tryne
