Tabula Rasa - Björk, Arca

We are all swollen

From hiding his affairs

Let’s put it all on the table

Let it all out

It is time

He mustn’t steal our light

Clean plate:

Tabula Rasa for my children

Clean plate:

Not repeating the fuckups of the fathers

My deepest wish

Is that you’re immersed in grace and dignity

But you will have to deal with shit soon enough

I hoped to give you the least amount of luggage

You got the right to make your own fresh mistakes

And not repeat other’s failures

Clean plate:

Tabula Rasa for my children

Let’s clean up:

Break the chain of the fuckups of the fathers

It is time:

For us women to rise and not just take it lying down

It is time:

The world is listening

Oh how I loved you

Embarrassed to pass this mess over to you

But he led two lives

Thought ours was the only one

You are strong

You are strong

You are strong

You so strong
