The Great Undressing Songtext

von Jenny Hval

Like capitalism, it works like unrequited love, that wayIt never rests.
Just like I need the love I'm not getting from you and all the people in the world
Are between you and I in that way and in the way of love

You must be disgusted, but I need to keep writing because everything else is death.
I'm self-sufficient, mad, endlessly producing.
I don't need money, I just need your love, or your approval, anything.

Like capitalism, it works like unrequited love, that wayIt never rests.
Just like I need the love I'm not getting from you and all the people in the world
Are between you and I in that way and in the way of love

Any sign is a promise of love, of being exposed.
A stage ritual undressing taking a place of consumation.
I'm here writing, working, making myself available for love...

I just need a sign. Any recognition is a reward

...because I love you.
