This lyrics 2 site When 14 000 files are missing, and also private notes, its just creepy to know. What to do? Well, I had to start a new life. My pamfleths became an answer to losing so much, and I wrote with selfirony and satire- aiming to say: i have my mind with me this time. My  pamfleth(self published in 2015) with thoughts on writing in a dissociated state and songs for music as a theme, was with a goal: to be my own bodyguard as I that year was sued by someone, who I had not let my guard down to. This is over though, and new beginnings are now.

and, listn, this other guy, he said in shame: its my fault, my fault, what they have done why wouldnt, shouldnt i be her and be here to write: no, you are wrong: they do because they think they can. And I Iove you in this life, as a sister, but also as her that was there sometimes with this to say: I hold my hand where you did- its for those who dont know how we get parted when broken, left out or let down.

Da jeg var fem bodde jeg på Sørlandet hadde loft og kjeller åker med høner ved der var det myrullenger trær med hasselnøtter og kratt med bjørnebær. Som syvåring er jeg ikke der lenger i sånne steder, vi tok bilen og kjørte Norge på langs til leirete strender og da nærmet vi oss visst Nord Trøndelag og nå har vi bodd i ett brunt hus der plankene er tvers over kappet mot en blek mur på en bakketopp en stund, der sola ikke klarer få seg opp det er mørketid der og bare der, ikke i svingen jeg ser i enden av dalen der det bor ett trillingpar tenk det nesten som meg men nå har jeg tenkt å si det jeg skulle si: at jeg sitter i radiokroken og lytter til tilbudet som finnes der i nrk av musikre sånn som dette her han har ett stort instrument og det er ikke sekkepipe denne gangen men jeg sier ingenting bare forsvinner i meg opp over gulvet som at jeg ikke er kropp og er i dette en venn med det som spilles jeg er i ett med universet og har ett hjerte som banker i iver og at det er så stort et helt fantastisk menneske er jeg i ensomhet med musikken som må ha vært et stykke av en musiker jeg ikke husker men jeg tror det var Garbarek eller Cat Stevens eller nei det var ett klassisk stykke uten solist bare veldig vakkert toner for deg og meg.

Girl in May

this was me,

my voice was there,

I loved music,

the lyrics in songs,

I listened to them,

and looked to my poems,

piled as now,

everywhere,

I was too, careful not to

show my inner strife,

this made me write like this:

I wrote this song, if

you want to, you can use it,

but only if you delete my writings

before you use it.

Signed then by me, as myself, but without my right name.

Kindness Adored

 

Girl girl

growing up

and today,

he suddenly,

grabbed my thigh,

some say its gravity,

and hormones,

that keep them,

men, marching,

at hands,

they like us humble,

and sedative,

but I am just human,

and want myself to be.*

-Tonje


*Its the perspective of women I know. I have shared the same perspective myself all time since I was a teenager, and still do: Men should leave girls to be safe and human in every aspect of life. THS

Hello, and love to those coping with aftermaths of trauma. To be heard and seen is difficult, dont give up. Care for yourself firstm and then let go.


If you know someone with a heavy past? Please dont let  them go, and have in mind: recovery isnt easy work.

And traumawork, in the beginning, this is sth. you need do with help from a therapist, and also perhaps try to get help in a sertified senter for those with traumas..

Thoughts on Ferrantes book 1, 30 july 2017 :

:

I believe this is A book Written to  a Brother for him to see what he is surrounded by & I do think its written with love

     


Scarecrows & Widgets


Brother(as in Friend), where to put this anger.

I cant anything but see.


Brother, where to put this anger. I cant anything but see what scared me as a child still scares me. Men, their aggression and fights with or without fists. And then, as from the sidewalk, or in some window, from the side: what did you all become. The morning was mocking me, this pile of books off from some mans hand between thighs. In a daydream, he came by, said, do you remember, or did you close your eyes to them bullying us, and I: no lyar, dont do this to me, what else than to put him down and regress into writing instead. And to find words elsewhere.


-Tonje Høydahl Sørli


On A Print for You:

startet med dette: et kurs i tekstiltrykk og tegning på tekstil ved KHIO, da jeg gikk der. Jeg fikk lyst til å lage klesmerker og tegnet slike merker som jeg tenkte kunne passe mennesker jeg kjente. Det var humor og varme i merkene, som var FOR å være jentete, guttete, venninnete, rosa, menstruerende, feministisk, furten, sinna, forelsket, og helt for kvinner i ditt liv, og glad i steder, dyr og litteratur. Selve tittelen på klesmerke-prosjektet spiller på slogans og merkvevarer slik de forsøkte selge produkter det første tiåret av 2000. Motivene hentet jeg fra fantasi, det jeg observerte, og fra apropriasjon fra illustrasjoner, tegneserier og faktabøker og reklame. Fortsatt lager jeg klesmerker som er FOR å være noe man liker å gjøre, eller er.

Abelvær, Where I spent summers in My Youth

Listening to Tobias Jesso Jr. -True Love:

 

this song isnt for distance

or avoidance,

and makes me think,

as I am listening,

of an article and intervieuw,

in Aftenposten,

years ago, that I read,

about a young couple,

somewhere on this earth,

working hard to make it,

having little money,

him waiting for her to come home,

working late and working for each other,

anything for you.

And I thought and I think,

about this everything for someone,

where one need each other,

as a silent answer to this strange worlds loving.

HOLY MOLY Friendship between you as a man, and a female, how to be her friend? You dont have to. Seldom you will be a friend, if you think you are over a she as a human. So many women and girls live without human rights like a good place to live today. Thats very very sad dont you think? "Women dont have rights, is that right?" Would be your answer. Sorry, but that makes you not just a man without insight but also some of a bully.

Lyrics 1 On This Site:

This is where I someiimes posts a lyric



I got support from Kunstløftet in 2014 to do a comic-project on trauma-reactions, and still work on this as a theme (amongst others) in some of my projects. Thats how it is. This site have shortlyrics I have published/posted over several years. They sort of cover the core of  living in the aftermath of trauma, which is a life too many live  today. My writing about dissociation*, is done to highlight post-trauma-living. As an artist I have chosen to read about and focus on Onno von der Hart, Kathy Steele, Suzette Boon and Ellert R. S. Nijenhuis thoughts on post-trauma-reactions Besides from this, my focus in lyrics has always firstly been personal, on feelings, and secondly to that on relations.

 

Though a direct tone- I dont write about anyone I have known or know on this site. And I hope  I dont offend anyone with my lyrics-prosject.  Most  I write are from what I  love in life, and that is  how you and me relate, observe and reflect as people, friends and sometimes lovers.

Elana, Spind 1982


she in the cottage,

walking into water with her, feet,

it was little toe, and then the hand,

she hug me and I saw her as friend,

she read to us,

in her kitchen,

the book of Ferrante,

but me a a a a ame me only a child,

till I got to her door,

where she had turned her face down,

she said she was another, another,

than herself,

and I saw her head when,

when we passed as neighbours in the street.*

* This lady was my neighbour at Sørlandet, where I lived for four years. She told me people thought of her as crazy. Though she wasnt a friend I must have trusted her, 


But Why , Ungdomskilden:

When I was young I did have ptsd> Also this used stop me in being there.. But I wrote to be part of this world.

.


On me:.

This is on the none-dialogue

I had no language for my experiences. Except to try to guard myself and those I loved. So, I started writing, and to try to reach those I loved through lines. My lyrics I did put almost everywhere in my youth, and I gave away my lyrics as well, but I wont say I suceeded in my reaching out though(wich is what I actually tried to do), partly because I was so secretive about my lyrics. Still, my rhymes and lines are out there,  for someone to see. That again, is also a bit typical for someone like me to do, to reach out without being seen or heard, and is also why people with traumas live with a heart that is open to them that gets it, or else it keeps silent. This is my words to you as my reader, not to you as someone I know.

* When to have a voice and be part of. and to participate in change is my project, and then losing my anthem and favourite lyrics or works, getting nothing sold, just given away.. this will change you and your interest in this world. To this I will add that this project was not mine anymore, after I lost access to the computer it was written on. Loss of passwords is also sth I have in mind.


 Still I think this is a changing world, but we have little to give each other when every other human is giving in vain.*

In feelings his head explodes

(in flowers)

boom

as the summer goes

boom

hasnt seen it,

her dress against,

against his legs,

I know,

some women vibrates,

in evening glow,

as others grow silent and alone,

this boat to the island,

of nevermore,

she who liked him,

cant but see,

that they slowly agree:

he is more handsome,

more handsome than

than she is to he.-


go.

is he in distress, so 

I cant but care:

that he is choosing

this that awkwards me.

Where did You Run>>>>>i et traumatisert menneske må noen bevare respekten for verden uten å ha dette med i sin hukommelse: hvor brutalt livet kan være mot de sårbare i vårt univers. 


>> 


Also- Last time I freewilly gave someone a lyric is now actually surely 13 years ago. Though I could participate like that, I have seen my lost lyrics in use, also last year, and its creepy when this happens. First: its not legal. And two: I would really love to work on projects also with lyrics or texts in. THREE: I dont have money. SO I dont need or want to publish elsewhere without intention,, either do I or will I give or email away any writings to anyone without a meeting and a contract. I had someone I worked with, but that is also not anymore. Feelings in words was a process. To give private texts to you would be oversharing. Also sth happened: my hardware with over 14000 texts and also my sketches disappeared(to ex , quite a few drawings in ink, appropriations for my tapestries, also pitches for commercials and movies, and thoughts for several novels. Also portraits in blue paper of my brother and my exes. +++ And manuscripts on magical stuff for kids with traumas. Why? We who have traumas feel alone, and different. Perhaps we too could have a place or sth to be good at.) To lose all of this material I had has made me very sad. And those who credit me are to say very few. To have possibilities to say things I had in my mind was a savior for me right till this happened. My dream and wish was to be my own companion in this: my projects, back then. My diary gone lost is how this is. Its such a loss Earlier than this, 2013, my backup for my lyrics got lost from my earlier studio at Teglverkstgata 2, where I rented a spot for several years..


Loss_And I am not sure I should write this, but:I still miss my first novel, I started on this my text project when I was a teen. I wrote it for my friends, my twin and a younger brother. I wrote about boys getting brutes by the society and people, I wanted them, boys in this area I grew up in to see they could be different, and not be what everyone wanted them to. And friends, they should be in life kinder to each other. Thought like that was a motivation. And I carried my novel with me, for my workplace was everywhere, when I was a teenager, till it got out of my hands without me wanting it to. I had it in my lap, and right beside me in my familys car, writing whenever time and allowed. When I got a bit older I found a novel out that year with so much in similarity to what I had written in my manuscript that I actually threw this novel in the trash. I wa so devasted. Gone then, but the feeling of being without rights was overwhelming, and the feeling of having nothing has stayed with me, and is still sth I struggle with.


The comic Imprint, is on becoming distant when having triggers. A trigger is a reminder, almost as an imprint, in self and feelings, that makes you lose yourself for a second. I first learnt about this frozen way of staring of a psychologist that worked with refugees. Frozen gazes is a normal and healthy state when driving a bus or doing something you often do. As a post trauma reaction this distant glare is not dangerous or harmfull. Its just a brain pausing in the middle of everything. With a bit of conscious work your gazing out/dissociation is possible to work on. 



Dear Disney & Running Fox

On this page: some poems/text- tekster skrevet av meg> me writing. I wrote from I was very young. Today, in 2025, a few of my poems are lost. Well, I did give some of them away to you. This if I got interested, after been, in a concert, heard a song on the radio etc. Also a few lyrics happened to fall in wrong hands. And this is important: If lyrics of mine are published elsewhere as if I do that, or with use of one of my pseudonyms...Or worse: if someone contact you claiming to be me, or show you my lyrics- it is not me. If I do, I contact people by my emailadress: tonjesorli@gmail.com. Anyhow, I am not in touch with anyone on lyrics these days. I also possibly would be in touch by phone,>I got a new phonenumber some years ago. But again, I dont do that :) And: I dont have a partner if thats someone I could have given you lyrics through. To make fun of my lyric, when I havent given you them or shown them to anyone? >Has someone cast a spell on you, my friend:)?


When I was younger I liked to be a part of music and songs without my name. Men ruled the show back then, so as a female to-be-writer, I thought I had to be noone/secretive and have a pseudonym. Sometimes artists contact me in ways, as if I still hopefully or hopefully not... would act like before: to be part without my name, I would be a friend not in this world- but in my poem. Music is so important to people and me to. But to be in a project without really being part(say my name) isnt very cool. And I never wrote lyrics to be rich, but today I know it could have given me some income


I teksten over brukes mitt billedvevarbeid "Lille Pjusk" som illustrasjon. Denne vevde jeg til en oppgave i fagdidaktikk. Motivet i veven er appropriert fra Carl Barks sin tegneseriehistorie Jul i pengelens fra 1954. Og ble til med et behov for å si med vev hvor avmektig jeg følte meg som enslig mor med liten til ingen inntekt på egne arbeider, og det å leve på en inntekt under fattigdomsgrensa over flere år. Og, jeg er så glad for at det finnes ordninger i Norge for de som har lite i inntekt. 


Og om lyrikk jeg har skrevet vil jeg si: det er utenforskap å gjøres bruk av uten å være ordentlig involvert. Dikt og tekst som på ulikt vis har havnet hos deg vil jeg ha tilbake. Vær snill og ikke gjør bruk av dikt uten at jeg er involvert i ditt prosjekt med meg tilstede.

Flowergarden, For Love & Peace in Life On Earth

(the future aim: and for future life Earth: first draft written july 2022:) + I want to say this poemish song is written for children, from me as a teacher. Children, they living where there are turmoil, live afraid. In school I remember we used to draw people hand in hand, in different colours and etnicity, as a chain around the globe. This is a picture on how children would like life to be. And therefore I wrote this song Gardens.


My grandpa was actually one of those who was young under the 2nd war. And later,  in his occupation, he worked with the building of shelters ++ in Norway. This, his work, was secret. None in the family knew where these shelters were built, other than how times changed. So, sort of also is Gardens: in Memory of him.


GARDENS

the garden fell and everyone it fell

just disappeared


: so so so


the cup with leaves and coast so dear it fell

the child in come running and a garden fifty yards of and the buildings fell


my earnings love and every living little thing

he rose and off and off


: and and and


please my Grandpa I saw the ghost of you -you had your hat on.

"They are insane" you sadly say,

me: «if I write when I am scared"


: and and and


I will lose them as I did when I was young»

the garden fell and everyone it fell

just disappeared


the child in come running and a garden fifty yards of and the buildings fell


my earnings love and every living little thing

he rose and off and off


: so so so


Grandpa please will you get back and see them turn this living tide of men in fight*

 

THS


* Why explain so much?  Misunderstandings is a fear of mine. And what to do when you write things you yourslef dont see the true value of? Maybe thats sth to write more about- later.


In frightening times or turmoil you get afraid of losing everything.



RELATIONAL- this is on sth I work on: When men lose their loving attitude (with a reference to literature)...


So, in my rush to get this webpage better, I sort of got to erase the most important theme now, for me, but this passage sounded sth like this:


I have been thinking of a passage in a book, on when men brutalize each others relationship with their women or woman. This was on how miners was talking when they hung out in pubs after work(this under the  changing era of the industrial revolution.)


For myself, I have hoped that a man would have a choice and voice the friendship and love for a woman in his life. Of course life is short, and it is perhaps when we hinders each others love in life we dont have around us what we need most: friendliness. And of course women too do wrong. Its not square, if you know what I mean.


So I thought For A Future: In times of great change, we have to work on friendship. in every aspect of life /Men om Garden skulle si noe så er det hva vi må ta vare på vi mennesker på jorda nå, som er vennskap.

"Enjoy Your Style"

(I get flau(embarrased) when people think I write about them or their friend, so..:)


walking my town,

empathy lost in some absent song,

guess you know,

who I am supposed to be writing of,

its sad, to this day,

that you find it amusing that I even cared,

cared to share my words when I was

younger,

younger and stranger,

but I noe laonger am,

and I no longer do,

I no longer do,

nothing then, is my answer to them.

I love this song:

The Healing Day, Bill Fay: It'll be O.K. On the healing day. No more  goin' astray. On the healing day. Yea we'll find our way. On the   healing day. To where the children play. On the healing day.    When the tyrant is bound. And the tortured freed from his pain, and the lofty brought to the ground. And the lowly raised. Ain't so far away The healing day.

Vår Helt


gav ham et manus

dette kan vi ikke lage bok av

sa han

Pamfletten min er et prosjekt om å være låtskriver uten å være låtskriver, og er referert til av flere, akkurat nå har jeg har den ikke ute. Den virker kanskje på noen svært kritisk til musikkverden. Derfor må jeg si her at denne Pamfletten var en selvironisk harselas. Jeg stod, da, i 2014, eller året etter, i en rettsal, hvor noen sa jeg ikke kunne skrive ting som jeg skrev og hadde skrevet, helt selv. Å kjempe for vennskap i verden, var og er mitt perspektiv.  Å kjempe for det er viktig,  og kampen vinnes ikke før menn har sett kvinners vennskap til verden og livet selv, og sier vi er likeverdige her på jorda vår, vel, det må være flere måner til det skjer(sic). Å være kvinne, i ett liv, er forferdelig vanskelig. Jeg kan ikke si noe annet, enn hvor mye slemhet man skal ha tillit til gir oss gode liv, som kvinne, eller utsatt. Du skal heller aldri si, jeg har dette, et avslått blikk, fordi du har opplevd noe, som verden er full av, og vi skal alltid kun gi dette svar: ditt eget thousand-yare stare.

pandemic poem >>>


march 2020

Dear Earth


I saw a bat,

made me say ou ou ou,

its eyes, and awkward smile,

I felt timid, and soon,

now just let me say ou ou ou,

and now the dolphines are singing,

and inside town they saw a deer,

and the wild pig entered centre,

it had kids, it had kids,

it did have kids,

I saw a bat,

the day, the day the virus came,

and we cant but stay inside,

I look to news,

and even youngsters get ill,

they say nature strikes back,

but I dont know,

its nothing nothing nothing I want more,

than to see this as someone elses world.


:)

When Color Run

Black Umbrella

 

to cry at night

make you walk,

to look into my eyes,

is everything right,

 

dear, was I thirteen year old,

Petter stood in the woods,*

looking dark, they said:

lets make a movie,

yeah lets make a movie,

 

a honnie, red dress and black eyes,

just do this and do that,

and later her amnesia

will cover it all,

but then you will find her,

 

a cupid star, twentyone,

twentyeight years old,

but I cant free you from him,

who forced you, and me,

into loosing all hopes

for truth and love,

 

as years passed I have seen you,

anywhere in town,

walking empty, with dark pits in ur arms,

isnt that ironic, I know.

As if to let go, it had to be rockn roll or drugs over all.


And to sudden hide your hand

into the sleeve, as if a child appear,

in you as you meet with me,

 

or is just fun that you are on a date with her, who feebles the button in her dress,

and looks down.*

* This lyric Black Umbrella is written to my project on Dog/hip-Roses.

* The name in the lyric is not related to my life in reality, its just one name that I thought could be used when writing about kids hanging out in a neighbourhood. This lyric is also written to comment how unfair life is, when aggression wins.

*And how awful it is when someone have you on tape, in a movieclip, or use your lyrics when you are too young to say no, and loose yourself when suddenly everyone know.

Brittle Little Meets the Brutal Truth!


Märtha,


så seg aldri som dronning,

i et øyeblikk har hun snudd seg,

og ser med sorg,

det er vel ikke sånn,

at hun har noe annet,

hun en gang var,

en kvinne med en forening,

en mening og et verv,

at hun har vært stolt av seg selv,

men så skal hun for alltid være,

hun som ikke sa hvem hun var.

The Quilt and the Beggar 1/Woman in Tower

of Song


This Spring



they say

with windows open

little is to fear,


but you know

the truth:


There are nothing more dangerous

than words,


in the bar their eyes gleiten

they want him to switch

just to have proof


if he muttered,

no but he wont:


I will never greet you as

the old friend you are


I know your gaze, posture

and hand


I remember a sentence, the shock

and smells,


in the bar their eyes gleiten

they want him to switch

just to have proof


artists learn skills noone else does

they play with genders and feelings

and become what others are


its not the same as

being a man.*


-Sørli


* To explain this lyric I write this: Many female artists and writers have done this throughout the history: taken a mans name as pseudonym, or tried to write or create with the "gusto" of a man. This because of perspectives and expectations of women, both now and then.




Perhaps this is also why summers become strange and foggy for youngsters in May:


Men før det, i bilen på vei hjem så hadde de en samtale som var omtrent slik:

Hun: (fortvilet) Hva sa jeg, altså jeg bare, sa jeg at jeg hadde skrevet en Monsterhit?

Han: Ja, nå har det snæppa for deg altså, ALLE vet jo dessuten at det er jeg som skriver låter.

Hun: Herregud så flaut.

Han: (stille)

Hun: Kanskje jeg bare et lite øyeblikk skulle ønske jeg var deg, var i dine sko. Ja, tok noen av dine eh..ja du er jo så vellykket..ikke projeksjon, hva er det, attribuerte noen av dine karaktertrekk?

Han: Godt mulig, du er jo i en fortvilet livssituasjon.

Hun: Ja,*

Whats the lyrics about? 11 april 2017

 

This is from me when listening.


Listening then, as a mother: To Wide Lovely Eyes from the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album Push the Sky Away-2013.


Wide Lovely Eyes

its Hide & Seek, and a song to a child, yes- I get the impression that the lyrics is written to a child, so:


The mother stands in the window as the father takes their child to child-care. Though everyone does, it feels strange to send the child away all day. As a family they are still working on that: The absence of child to get work done. And the child,

to cope with the absence of mom and dad. The child, with a small childs open eyes, and strides in her dress, waves to her mother, saying goodbye with her hands that still cant wave, instead they look like butterflies with fluttering wings, butterflies bending, and she is waving butterflies into the sky, and her mother answers the waving,  or  does the perspective change here, does she - the mother, suddenly,  see herself as from  a loved ones perspective: His eyes on her  as her brain  implodes and her hands goes up, up, a goodbye to a man, no,

and when she gets to her computer she wonders what world her child now caves into, perhaps a magical landscape that she  herself

has  left, yes through a tunnel of leaves down to the sea, and as grown-ups we can only try to imagine what our children do all day, and how they struggle to cope without their guides in life for many hours in row, yes ,

grown-ups close down the fun fair in our minds, and the the competitiondrive in men end up  killing mermaids and creativity, and so we try to

keep the real threats of terror away by telling jokes.

In the experience of becoming a mum her brain is expanding, growing, the world is full of  worry, and that while she and all organize surroundings to cope, and try to fill gatherings of friends with laughter,


and yes, me, sometimes I miss organizing shoes after shoesize and color and to look onto the world with curiosity.


Or as some girl said,

after she accidently had over-

heard a grownup conversation:


 Næmanæmma died? She  asked

with a serious look in her eyes. And I jumped at her having heard

my words, which were not

for her ears, and  at her

already there to look for

answers I was afraid to

give. So, the world has

changed, I, we know.


And thats what 

Wide Lovely Eyes

reminded me of.

Radiohead,


Oslo Spektrum 6th June 2017

Alle Ble Flaue/ Aa Bb Fau

Aaa Bbbb Faaau

(efil ym fo flaH)

(half of my life I fooled my loved)


Thoughts on daydreaming and a concert,

writing then as some strange lady

amongst audience,

and how do we listen to noise,

its in the background,

and what I hear is on

men in a row

they love(hope that you) it when you choke,


happy to serve you, was he,

Thom Yorke and every true musician,

no glam or glitter,

but knowledge, warmth and a strange glare,

some affects perhaps,

moves o a girl I cannot see,

she moves her body and Thom

does too,

sweetfaced ones that

we all can love,

thats whats happen when

you think youre in place,


perhaps a future in a song,


creator has a kit to make

an identity to come forth

in a once loved,

sadly, Groundhogday makes

no way,

 

no, truth will mess you up,

the true tale of your life will mess you up,


him a grey jacket, that hair,

always a new door, endless corridors

and then the sudden smirk.


All this just to say:

lovenlove to Radiohead.


Nähe, Thankful Song


Thought On

the ballet Sleepless Beauty,

Nasjonalballetten,

Oslo 7ht May 2017


Persefone & the rest

it a mans hand on your chest and neck

and me walking into

the foajé

as I say abuse, abuse, abuse

to lay in love

is to have man above

till the mothers eyes

turn sore

blackn white suites

and them holding apartments

for little lovers

without regard to any other

like a child walking into

sleepless nights as her mum

working double shifts again

couldnt that make

a beauty, blackened eyes

till the mountain as a curtain

his finger pointing to th sky

and then they fold

her green dress and possible

evil plans for futuristic towns,

till the end that I loved:

Curtain, drapery, and the

lift of her

yes

he lifted her.

high heels heading out-

I was told to leave a lovers night,

heard him whisper

fff

fff

fff

as I walked,


oh no oh

my pinkerbell,

I that got so many things to tell,


had a folder

with that name,

started in a kitchen 2000,

a sudden comfort

from a man

gave me a secret crush,

so

I wrote poems

that later accidently ended in all ears

Reverse in Hand & Backwards Give


oh why

dont give me

whats mine,

50 000 from my

solitary fund

and she wouldve

had a room on her own


did he regret it

as he stopped

my reverse in hand


no dont do this to me

I I I  that wrote songs

and verses from my

little town


we sat on the beach

and he fell in love

with any other than me

piles of books and him

perhaps as south

as any man

in north can be


so you lay me down

said

if you dont behave


your belt lit a light

till I scratched myself *

left marks

on my chest

didnt I


him road

was a backwards give


said

did you hurt yourself

or me


-Sørli


* This lyric is written to describe retraumatisation by violence, and self harm. To inflict self harm is a way to control your feelings. Its a normal reaction to/after abnormal experiences or abuse, but often scary to  witness for those you love. If you know anyone that inflict self-harm, know its a language thats about outer harm turned inward. Help him/her to get calm, help him/her get out of harming relations, and in the length he/she will also need help to place shame where it belongs.

Numbing and Immobility

they say this movie

is a eye into someones

world, elsewhere,

 

I think we make too many a girls life a struggle

living in Norway as well,

stimes its like this world likes to think that shame and family first dont exist in white middleclass

if you find yourself in offices or in schools with silenced and frightened youngsters, help them

Letter too, 12.07.2018


Denne teksten er ment som en kommentar til de som velger å avføye metoo. Likevel er mitt perspektiv at det å offentliggjøre folk ikke burde høre med som en del av metoo. Å sette lys på erfaringer som skader eller gjør utrygg, i oppvekst, utdanningsløp, tidlig karriere eller yrkesliv, var en gang mitt ønske for en metoo-bevegelse i Norge.  Drop-out understreket dette i 2004.


*

det er lenge siden jeg skrev til deg,

jeg pleide det, Kjære Du, og hilsen:

Evig Din. Du var dagboka mi. Men selv

ikke i deg skrev jeg om sånt som

tidlig skremte meg. I dag tenker jeg

det var fordi jeg ikke hadde et

vokabular om eller en innsikt i

sånt som var motsatsen til det å

være god, som gjorde at jeg kunne

skrevet om det. Det var ikke ord der,

i forhold til de som handlet og valgte slemt, men heller følelser, reaksjoner og handlinger.


I dag står det igjen om megogså på nett,

og jeg tenker noe som forsvinner, og som og bør nevnes

i debatten om hvem som "egentlig

trakasserer": kvinner eller menn,

er psykisk vold. Som er en vold som dessuten

ofte kommer før fysisk vold.


Psykisk vold er det å bølle med,

herme etter, avvise, neglisjere, isolere,

ignorere, nekte å høre på, dominere,

gjøre mindre, true, invalidere, la

være å inkludere, diskreditere, benekte,

kritisere, og kommandere.


Er ikke det da, slik, at den som nekter

å ta inn over seg #metoo, megogså,

som en del

av en virkelighet mange kvinner lever i, egentlig på indirekte vis driver med den samme volden som var med på å kickstarte hele #metoo bevegelsen?


Og hva slags følelser oppstår i farvannet av det å igjen få sitt perspektiv og sine erfaringer avvist annet enn følelser som følger nettopp psykisk og fysisk vold? Som avmakt, skam, redsel, følelse av skyld,

depresjon, pessimisme, unngåelse

og tristhet.


Å leve i stillhet

for å slippe å bli avvist burde ikke

være et valg. Så da skriver jeg til den

som har problemer med #metoo, megogså:

lytt i stedet for å fortsette den neglekten det å avvise andres stemmer er.

They Knew About the Brain

(brainfog is normal not an illness or sth to use) 

Bloom & Jolly Future in Holburne Museum, Bath

The Ferry is Gone

 

you know nothing about what i just did,

and its not with subtle irony you stand there,

with your hand done to fist around strawberry jam,

 

me: i used to hold things,

and i used to stroke,

just to be here and to keep in touch,*

-Aa

Sørli 


* For those that struggle with aftermaths: Hands are essential. To hold and to have in your hand sth, as a stone, a cone, anything, will help you to stay in the here and now.

Summer in my studio, and this struck me. Its on working with crafts


 I chose Only

 

i work alone

by heart, and head alone,

and my hands,

alone.

Sth I care about:        (rettmessig innehaver av diktet er meg Tonje Høydahl Sørli, som skrev det):


 

chloroform isnt for a

fourteen yrs old,

lipstick neither,

and if she wanted be a woman,

she did also think he cared,

 

but in the toilet god.

see stains of coagulated blood,

a child always taken away,

n this is evil in me you know,

 

why living girls is this our world

why living girls is this our world

why living girls is this our world

 

in the car so quiet,

and where to drive with he,

then without a towel in the stairs,

to drain her from this life and veins,

 

she did think he was a vet,

the oldest in this town,

to get the curse and shame away,

she was wanted and a child with child,/plenty,

 

why living girls is this our world

why living girls is this our world

why living girls is this our world

 

n this is what they say:

willing and without shame,

when truth is threatning (he was a man) and she: a girl who tried to be kind.

 

why living girls is this our world

why living girls is this our world

why living girls is this our world*


 

* 

This lyric is my thoughts on abortion and pregnancy in very young girls, and older too of course. I believe, in Norway, we like to think of ourselves as a country that treat women and girls well. Im not to say I think so. The shaming of girls is still alive and living in this country. This perhaps isnt true to you, or perhaps it is. Myself, I believe that very few think of feminine values and virtues as important today. So listen: What is life in a stomach but to be a child, however who wants this or not, if she wants it.

Random Call 1


In 2013 I lost a hard disk/drive  with lots of lyrics, ideas, photoes, manuscripts and also ideas for exhibitions on. It was black, shimmery, and  also grey in color, and it disappeared from Kampen Slott where I lived. Seen it? So please give it back.


Random Call 2

In 2016 my piece When Grief Comes, with bluebirds, music, hammock ++ was stolen from an outdoor exhibition in Ask, outside of Gjerdrum community house.  My favourite piece!  Seen it:  email me.

Glances

 

I used to write

I used to write

I used to reach out

 

all uf us frightened

and only in the teens

 

but then they turned and smiled

as if I had some evil plan

 

she had this little dress

and flowers

sth else than me

 

but then I realised we all

had to go to a mans door

 

my hand he hit down, down,

into the floor,

 

I used to write

I used to write

I used to reach out*

 

all uf us frightened

and only in the teens

 

but then they turned to say:

I know who you are writing of**

 

 

* Why? Hurt is awful.

** Finding yourself in others writings isnt fun. Myself? I actually very seldom

write of people I know.

*** So this lyric is on being young. And writing about it later. And the look people can get when they think youve written about them.,

Someone to Watch over Me

 

jeg hører på jazz og katten

ett ullpledd og, da jeg var nitten

sa det hissig i meg,

dro Min Besværlige Venninne

til Italia og ble soloartist,

da jeg var nitten, sa det,

puttet jeg en mann i en

kvinnes sko bare fordi jeg

var redd for ham,

ligger det i nakken

for den bøyer jeg

men som nittenåring,

han hadde svarte øyne

og det kvikke blikket,

han satt på rommet mitt

og var imponert over en oppgave

jeg hadde skrevet om det tidligere

Jugoslavia, en gjest i en gruppe

mennesker fra krig hadde landet

på en folkehøyskole i Norge,

men hvorfor fikk han

Den Besværlige Venninna

med seg, jeg husker ikke,

den selvbevisste og veslevoksne Venninna mi, satt han på et tog, skramlet gjennom

Europa, mens han sølte kaffe på henne?

En flekk her, og en flekk der,

som blåe ringer under øyne,

nei, en gang stablet jeg ham

på beina, han var uten pust,

jeg vet ikke,

mennesker med lyter,

 

vi gir hverandre lite,

mens vi vet altfor godt hva

verden trenger,

 

og hvis jeg møtte ham igjen

ville jeg ikke nevne 

eller noe annet,

for jeg har glemt

og 

 

Blatant Ego Game!

Committed By

Ordinary Canary, Salute


its a sad

he said

youll never recover

so they put forth some road


a bar, night, oh its commitment

to remember oneself

through new versions

thrown all over


helpfull, please see,

what if your own moments

walked right through me


might I render them,

and put em on instagram,

but I am not you,


I forget to mention

your inner feel,

proud or sad,

some gutfeel that say:

this is all so wrong.


it was me, leaning back

I was proud,

some V in my hand

oh back then

I was writer to a band

Fawn Response!
He Disappears in a Cloud of Black Ink! And its the awful truth.

This is why, With a referance to Bakhtin and his thoughts on polyphony, I Write and Make Art:



Industriell Rock.


industri med bismak., liten tid til treff i helga. gikk forbi i 5 minutter. mistet røyken. mistet umbreroen. gikk mot henne i 2 minutter. gikk inn igjen. mistet tiden underveis. gikk pervo på pcen hennes. tok ansvar etterpå, og lot være å gi henne filene. dro på ferie. gikk langt på ferien. likte mange bilder på insta. gikk tur med bøfler også gikk jeg ikke mot henne etter det. etter det ble jeg liten og bortgjemt. så gikk det bort alt sammen. morsomt med musikk i livet mitt. det liker jeg. men så er jeg musiker egentlig. ikke sånn som du tror. istedet gikk det ikke. minsten ble redd og så gikk det ikke bra. han lot være å si ifra, til det er altfor få likegyldige og derfor har jeg mistet fokus.*


* Slik som dette skrev jeg for 16 år siden. Ikke her på nettsiden, som ikke er eldre enn 4-5 år, men inn i et skjema for bilder til en utstilling. Senere mistet jeg teksten, som ikke er helt utrolig til meg å være, siden jeg alltid skrev, men som du likevel vil se av nettsiden min

formidler jeg at jeg savner tekster og manus, som ikke er i mine hender lenger. Blant annet derfor har jeg skrevet litt om Mikhail Bakhtin, og hans tanker om ytringer, og det å bli sett og hørt. Det jeg liker med tekst er å være min egen sjef, uten å ha noen som involverer seg eller bestemmer hva jeg kan si eller ikke. Derfor mener jeg også at alvor er der, ikke ironi eller avvisning. For hvis jeg ikke kan si, hvor står jeg da som menneske? Dette og da med Bakhtins tekster om respekt for den andres stemme, og ulikhet, i tankene.

Thirteen, Seventeen, 1996/97/98

 

crybaby

crybaby see

 

what are they,

I cant see them human, please,

 

them on the bike,

and his frightened rushing,

 

while this agent stood in the stairway,

he told me in childish words:

 

how difficult it is to drive all this

fucking way,

 

yesterday he had droven into the coast,

between Nærøy and Vikna, yes almost blind,

 

but the lyrics please?

 

I told him it was written by hand,

and had been sent off with someone else:

 

"he came by last week,

with a stringent look and a occupied mind,"

 

and with a laugh, yes he

laughed,

 

---*----

 

come, lets bike, its autumn,

we will find a way to grieve,

 

yes this is us blinded,

and we lost again, *

 

-Sørli


* This lyric is on writing when young and trusting. And also on how it is to see those you love in distress.

Friends, I have
