Jenny Hval All night long

Tekst piosenki

The recording software asks: This note or that?
The recording software asks: Quantify?
It doesn’t ask where I’m from
Asking me please make a choice

All night long with the choices
All night long with the choices
All night long for the others
All night long for the others
All night

Do you remember all the
Pandemic birthdays?
A friend
Received so many flowers
It looked like she had died
She found herself absent
Absent from hеr own house
Happy birthday!

All night long in my absence
All night long for thе others
All night long with the choices
All night long in my absence
All night long

What do I choose
It should be something
What do I know
Even without the flowers
I’m not there
What am I now?
I’m lost in the admin
A failed CEO
Cleaning out my grave

What do I know
I’m lost in absentia
Dancing on my grave
What would happen if I fell
If I fell through…

In the eyes that open on the inside
In the eyes, the coffin is a black box

It’s just what I do
It’s just what I do
I’m performing there

Performing on top of my bones
Mine and my family’s bones
As long as I’m performing
I am not choosing, or dying
I am performing in the speed of light
Faster than autotune can read and transform a note
Faster than a microphone can pick up any sound
Dodging the entire industry
Just a living matter
Moving through light and shadow
Happy birthday!
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
