Beskyddaren [English translation]

I tried to be special

hunted, thin and lustrous pale

but with spots I am born

I had almost forgotten

I wanted to be spiritual

a sparkling personality

but that requires

genes and predispositions

and that, I don't have

And it takes hundreds of years

to hide the flaws - I am light years away

disfigured and cross-eyed - and it stings like chlorine

like new cold sores, a third class sheep

when everybody is listening to you

can you protect me?

I only wanted to escape from myself

cut off my inadequacy

but with the spots I have hidden

(I am) already doomed

I wanted to be intellectual

well-traveled, urbane, disgustingly young

but the heritage weighs heavily

genes and predispositions

everything was a mistake

And it takes hundreds of years

to hide the flaws - I am light years away

disfigured and cross-eyed - and it stings like chlorine

like new cold sores, a third class sheep

when everybody is listening to you

(hundreds of years)

can you protect me?

(light years away)

can you protect me?

(hundreds of years)

can you protect me?

(a third class sheep)

can you protect me?

(hundreds of years)

please, protect me
