Maria Mena's new album

Maria's new album 'Cause & Effect' is amazing, can't stop listening to it. It's hard to describe but the lyrics are cutting like a knife. They are really honest & fragile and therefore so much better than most of the other crap that young artists like her usually write (if they even write their own stuff).


















Self-fullfilling prophecy
Self-hatred grows in me like cancer
I can't locate it's whereabouts, but it's feasting on its host
I expected him to have the answers
I thought I taught him how to love me now
He fears me like a ghost

Oh self-fullfilling prophecy
You're the only garanteed loyalty
In this town full of violent mothers,
cheating fathers, leaving lovers
I swear to you I'll never love again

Maria Mena - Your Glasses

What could you possibly see in me?
Is it my soul hung out to dry?
I think my dysfunctional family has shaped it throughout my life

What could you possibly like in me?
Do you like my ability to bend?
I think my fear of intimacy has shaped the time we spend

No, it’s not you
It’s me
And it’s not us
It’s them
And it’s not her
It’s just the way she moves you
And she kisses harder than me
Oh, she kisses harder than me

And I've always looked in through your glasses
But all I could see was the specter of me reflected
The empty shell of me
The empty shell of me

What could you possibly love in me?
Is it the way I wear my smile?
It hangs from the tip of my tongue you see
Oh, this might take a while

lovers dream


please put me to sleep
if there's room beneath your feet
see, i've left my home
i couldn't get used to living alone

put me to rest
lay your head on my chest
hold my hand
when you leave don't wake me up
just to see how you say goodbye

maybe i could be yours
maybe you could be mine
god, i've waited so long
maybe my time has come
to walk by your side

please put me at ease
now my soul is ready for peace
give me the lovers curse
now i'm ready for you,
my rebel, my hope

maybe i could be yours
maybe you could be mine
god, i've waited so long
maybe my time has come
to walk by your side

If I could look beyond your face
And photograph your hidden place
Would I find you smiling in the picture

I don't know what you want
Because you don't know
So what's the point of asking

You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts

Far too many ways to go
We learn so much but never know
Where to look
Or when we should stop looking

You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts

leave my mind

if i had a choice
i'd leave all behind
if i had a choice
i'd make you leave my mind
leave my mind

it's been a while

somehow i stopped writing in this blog after i was in harstad, but i don't think harstad is to blame though...

the rest of my last lapland trip went just fine, and we had the best weather! which all the guests and me thought was really funny as all we heard from NL was that it was pouring with rain there all the time...it even got as far that on the day we flew home from rovaniemi it was about 25C there and when we arrived in NL it was 'only' 18C or something.

a little week after coming back from the north i flew back to the north again, to my favourite town, starting with s and ending on tockholm :D
again, i left rainy NL behind me to fly to the sunny & warm north hehe!
it was only 15 people in that group, just like the last time i did the stockholm trip. on the free day on saturday some of the guests and did a boat trip to drottningholm the palace where the swedish royal family lives. had never been there before, which is supposed to be a shame when you've been in stockholm so many times before and even lived there for some time.
late on sunday afternoon it started to rain in stockholm as well then, and it didn't end for the rest of the night. in fact it rained so bad it kept me awake at night.
monday was the last day for me of this season as a travelguide, there was some time in the morning to do some last shopping...let's just say that the cd/dvd department in the åhléns must have been pretty happy with me that day.
12:00 sharp we left the hotel for arlanda, said my goodbyes to the guests (and again at the luggage belt in sciphol later that day) and checked in...

it's been a wonderful summer being a travelguide, let's see what happens next summer!

have been back home for the past 3 weeks now, working at uni a lot i can say. next week it's time for another trip to the north, but this time i don't have any guests with me...it's just me-myself-and-i flying to copenhagen, visiting stina! :D :D and meeting up with katty as well and seeing linda again as well, it's gonna be great!

will try to be back here more regularly, for now i'll end with my absolute song of the month:

Tie my shoes and zip my jacket
I lock the door and check my pockets
I'm leaving the light on just for the sight
Might make someone think that I'm still around

Sold my bed, no need to sleep these nights
Walking rounds in search for stars these nights
The sky is perfectly brown instead of black
Let my shoes lead me forward, please bring me some luck

It's ok, hey come on, no time for education so let's go
I can't stand all these rules,
I'm gonna turn my back to everything I know
It's ok, come on, I won't do the things they learned me

I pick up stones 'cause I might need them
You're gonna throw'em, aren't you
I tried with books but I'm not pleased yet
Come on and read it for me, read it for me
Sold my bed, no need to sleep these nights,
I'm walking rounds in search for, doesn't matter

It's ok, hey come on, no time for education so let's go
I can't stand all these rules,
I'm gonna turn my back to everything I know
It's ok, come on, I won't do the things they learned me...

Dream on

Christian Falk feat. Robyn & Ola Salo

Thugs and badmen
punks and liars
fucked up interns
pigs and snitches

Rest your weary heads, all is well



You won't be strip-searched, torn up tonight
you won't be cut up, bleeding tonight
you won't be strung out, cold, shaking to your bones
wishing you were anywhere else but right here
So dream on

Thieves and muggers
tricks and hustlers
cheats and traitors
scum and low-lives

Rest your weary heads, all is well

You won't be sad or broken tonight
you won't be squealed on, ripped up tonight
you won't be back-stabbed, double cross, face down
teeth knocked out, lying in a gutter somewhere
So dream on



Freaks and junkies
fakes and phonies
drunks and cowards
manic preachers

Rest your weary heads, all is well

You won't be pushed down or messed with tonight
you won't be lied to, ruffed up tonight
You won't be insane, paranoid, obsessed
aimlessly wandering through the dark night
So dream on
