Lyrics:
Forvent
Det som der forventes
Det som de forventer
Det som I forventer
Det som der forventes
Vi lever i forventningens arkitektur
Skyskrabende piedestaler
Konstant foranderlige, skælvende undergrund
Skælvende undergrund
Indre eksistentielle byggepladser
Byg højere, dybere, bare du bli'r ved genopfind det du kender, for at finde dig selv
Vend vrangen ud, pausen eksisterer ikke
Tiden den går og forsvinder, også uden at vi er her
Vi mister os selv i et hæsblæsende tempo, i eskalerende fart,
Vi mister os selv, i en alders af os, transporterer vi håb med tung belastning.
Forvent alt af livet
Forlæng glæden som kæder af lys mellem dagene og nætterne, ugerne og årene
Forvænt? Forvent!
Forvent
Det som vi forventer
Det som de forventer
Det som I forventer
Det som der forventes
Vi leder i forventningens arkitektur
Søger lys og luft, gennemtræk i sindet
Tag fat i forventningerne, se dem i øjnene
Før dem i dit favntag, ind i livets koreografi
En dans med forventningerne, som vi deler
Søger resonans i et bølgende ydre univers
Sorte huller i solar plexus
Varmen stiger, det prikker i huden, trykket stiger
Vend vrangen ud, pausen eksisterer ikke
Tiden den går og forsvinder, også uden at vi er her
Vi mister os selv i et hæsblæsende tempo, i eskalerende fart
Vi mister os selv, i en alders af os, transporterer vi håb med tung belastning.
Mm....
Forvent.
About the piece:
Forvent composed by Lil Lacy, libretto by Lisa Christiane Lertoft & Lil Lacy - commissioned by DR Pigekoret. The piece is inspired by expectations to young people: Inner expectations to oneself. Expectations from institutions, families, friends. And expectations from the larger society and global situation. The title has two sonic connotations: Forvent - as in expect or expectations Forvænt - as in “having become a habit”. The piece aims to inspire the singers, musicians, and audience to remember and maybe even rethink how we cope with various (outer as inner). And that we, if we choose to do so, can decide how we deal with or even how we can lead the constant flow of expectations that we experience throughout our lives. The piece Forvent is inspired by dialogues and exchange with the singers in DR Pigekoret. Forvent is a piece for girls’ choir and string quartet
