[00:00.744] October 27th, 2018
[00:04.637] I'm writing you one last time Annika Norlin
[00:08.398] It was nice to see you that morning at the station
[00:13.414] I'm sure you were a warrior in a previous incarnation
[00:17.750] Me, I must've been a rabbit or an ostrich
[00:21.564] Or a pile of trembling leaves sown together with cross stitch
[00:26.344] My anxiety has been holding me hostage
[00:30.733] I've developed this problem with a really tough itch
[00:35.226] I went to the clinic to get a prescription
[00:39.667] Cried a little in front of the physician
[00:43.925] Ointments and sedatives and antibiotics
[00:48.183] Went home with a bag full of legal *********
[00:52.624] The best is the sedatives, they work well but softly
[00:56.699] I don't scratch myself in sleep, I pass out like a baby
[01:01.348] When I wake up I'm rested, l'm calm and happy
[01:05.711] The only bad thing is the strange dreams that haunt me
[01:10.100] I'm deep in the woods, in a village with tipi's
[01:14.331] The branches from old oak trees hang heavy
[01:18.877] A woman carrying a baby greets me says she's glad that I came, she's been trying to reach me
[01:27.471] She shows me around, the villagers are happy
[01:31.886] they give me some wine and flowers to greet me
[01:35.830] their society's based on a loose form of anarchy
[01:40.558] they've dealt with the climate ,injustice and patriarchy
[01:44.477] Cause this is the future I can tell from their technology
[01:49.335] But they use it for good and they use it so sparsely
[01:53.672] They are not but slaves under their own machinery
[01:58.086] The cogwheels turn only when they think it's necessary
[02:02.266] And the woman grabs my arm and she looks me in the eye
[02:06.707] She's contacted me cause she's worried about our time
[02:11.200] This future is oniy one of many lines
[02:15.536] That we can potentially walk down
[02:19.220] you and I
[02:23.869] When I wake up I giggle cause it seems kinda cringey
[02:28.597] I think about their village, what abunch of ****ing hippies
[02:32.934] This must be because I read that book by Marge Piercy
[02:37.348] Where some people from the future make contact with Connie
[02:41.737] A woman in a mental institution in the seventies
[02:45.995] and show her their world that's one of many possibilities
[02:50.384] And instill in her the hope to fight for humanity
[02:54.824] I loved that book, but as a document of history
[02:59.108] Cause now it seems strange to hope for anything at all
[03:03.497] When every step forward seems infinitely small
[03:07.729] Save the polar caps from melting by recycling milkbuttles
[03:12.013] While the CEO's are flying their pets to skilodges
[03:16.663] How vulnerable it is when someone says what they want
[03:20.895] Instead of just saying what they don't want
[03:25.309] How easy it is to laugh at someone's utopia
[03:29.620] after decades of being spoonfed dystopia
[03:35.732] I rub my cortison ointment on my eczema
[03:40.617] I take my sedatives and crawl up to the heater
[03:44.875] Keep treating the outside, ignoring the inside
[03:49.133] Keep treating the symptoms, not the root of the problems
[03:53.731] And in my next dream the woman's back again
[03:58.328] This time she's shouting cause her signal is fading
[04:02.116] I wake up sweating, my skin is itching
[04:06.713] I put some ice on it and sit down in the kitchen
[04:11.128] And outside the leaves are slowly falling
[04:15.229] Over pigeons, buildings, CEO's and children
[04:19.931] I'm gripped by a love for this world that we live in
[04:24.242] And I think about a quote from Ursula Le Guin:
[04:27.951] "We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable.
[04:33.045] So did the divine right of kings.
[04:37.355] Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings"
[04:45.584] There's a dying Iight in the distance that beckons
[04:50.416] As the clocks are rapidly running out of seconds
[04:54.883] This is where I get off I reckon
[04:58.906] Take care of yourself, your friend

[05:01.414] Jens Lekman
[00:00.744] 2018年10月27日
[00:04.637] 致Annika Norlin，这是我最后一次写信给你
[00:08.398] 那天早晨与你在车站的相逢很美好
[00:13.414] 你的前世一定是个勇士
[00:17.750] 而我最多就是只兔子或鸵鸟
[00:21.564] 要不就是一堆被缝制在一起的、发颤的树叶
[00:26.344] 一直以来，我被我的焦虑绑架
[00:30.733] 随之加重的是愈发难耐的搔痒
[00:35.226] 我只好到诊所寻求处方
[00:39.667] 在医生面前稍作呻吟
[00:43.925] 只要能给我药膏、镇静剂和抗生素就行
[00:48.183] 回家时，我便如愿得到了一大包合法毒品
[00:52.624] 镇静剂是我的最爱，效果好但又不过头
[00:56.699] 我不会在睡梦中抓挠自己，我会像婴儿一样昏沉入梦
[01:01.348] 醒来后，我恢复活力，平静又愉悦
[01:05.711] 唯一的坏处就是那些在我脑中萦绕不散的怪诞梦境
[01:10.100] 在梦里，我身处森林深处，那有座印第安风格的村落
[01:14.331] 老橡树的粗壮的枝桠沉沉垂下
[01:18.877] 有个怀抱孩子的女人向我打招呼，她说她为我的到来感到高兴，她一直以来都在找我
[01:27.471] 她带着我进村参观，村民们都很高兴
[01:31.886] 他们用美酒和鲜花欢迎我
[01:35.830] 他们的社会建立在一种无政府的松散体制之上
[01:40.558] 他们已经解决了气候、不公正、父权的问题
[01:44.477] 通过他们的技术，我能看见未来
[01:49.335] 但他们只把这用在好的方面，使用的频率也极低
[01:53.672] 他们并不会成为机器的奴隶
[01:58.086] 那些齿轮只在他们觉得有必要的时候转动
[02:02.266] 这时那个女人抓住我的手臂，看着我的眼睛
[02:06.707] 告诉我，她找我是因为她担心我们的时代
[02:11.200] 我所见的未来，只是众多可能性中的一种
[02:15.536] 而未来的真正模样，由我们来创造
[02:19.220] 你和我
[02:23.869] 梦醒之后，我感到很好笑，因为这实在是荒诞至极
[02:28.597] 回想起那个村落，那些人简直就是一群嬉皮士
[02:32.934] 这一定是因为我最近读了玛姬·皮尔希的书（指她于1976年出版的Woman on the Edge of Time，此书被认为是女性主义的经典科幻小说）
[02:37.348] 书中的人们来自未来，他们找到一个叫Connie的女人
[02:41.737] Connie来自七十年代，她被关在疯人院里
[02:45.995] 那些人领她参观了他们的世界，告诉她这只是未来众多可能中的一种
[02:50.384] 并让她明白了为人类奋斗的希望所在
[02:54.824] 我爱那本书，但我只把它当作一种历史文献
[02:59.108] 因为就目前看来，心怀希望是荒谬的
[03:03.497] 我们向前迈出的每一步，都显得无比渺小
[03:07.729] 我们通过回收牛奶瓶来挽救两极日渐消融的冰川
[03:12.013] 而那些有钱人却将他们的宠物空运到滑雪小屋里
[03:16.663] 当人们说自己想要什么时，他们显得如此不堪一击
[03:20.895] 而他们却从不说自己不想要什么
[03:25.309] 几十年来我们一直被灌输反乌托邦的思想
[03:29.620] 于是在当下，嘲笑别人的乌托邦成了易如反掌的事
[03:35.732] 我把可的松软膏涂在湿疹上
[03:40.617] 注射镇静剂，爬到暖气旁
[03:44.875] 我坚持治疗可见疾病，无视内心的苦痛
[03:49.133] 坚持治标不治本
[03:53.731] 随后在我的第二个梦里，那个女人又来了
[03:58.328] 这次她高声呼喊着，因为她的信号正逐渐衰弱
[04:02.116] 梦醒时我大汗淋漓，皮肤依旧搔痒不止
[04:06.713] 我敷上一些冰块，坐在厨房里
[04:11.128] 窗外树叶正缓缓飘落
[04:15.229] 挡住了那些鸽子、建筑、有钱人和孩子
[04:19.931] 对我们依存的这个世界，我始终满怀热忱
[04:24.242] 这时我想到厄休拉·勒古恩说过的一句话：
[04:27.951] “我们生活在资本主义社会，看起来我们似乎无法摆脱这制度的掌控
[04:33.045] 可君权神授的观念在那个时代看来也是如此
[04:37.355] 所以其实我们可以抵御任何人类自己产生的力量，当然我们也能够改变它们
[04:45.584] 远方的希望之光正逐渐衰微黯淡，那正是予以你我的警示
[04:50.416] 钟面上的指针盘旋，永不停歇
[04:54.883] 直到这时，我才终于恍然大悟
[04:58.906] 请你照顾好自己
[05:01.414] 来自你的朋友，Jens Lekman
