Will you end my pain?
Will you take my life?
Will you bleed me out?
Will you hang me out to dry?
Will you take my soul in the midnight rain?
While I'm falling apart
While I'm going
Will you end my pain?
Will you take my life?
Will you bleed me out?
Will you hang me out to dry?
Will you take my soul in the midnight rain?
While I'm falling apart
While I'm going insane
Most people are searching for happiness
They're looking for it
They're trying to find it in someone
Or something outside of themselves
That's a fundamental mistake
Happiness is something that you are
And it comes from the way you speak
Can you break my bones?
Will you tear my skin?
Can you taste my lust?
Can you feel my sin?
See, I'm a waste of life
I should just kill myself
Yeah, I could slit my wrists
But it really wouldn't help
Wouldn't fix my issues
Or change your mind
'Cause I broke your heart
And you buried mine
Now, I'm six feet deep
And I can't breathe
I got dirt in my eyes
And blood on my sleeves
But I dig my way up
Through these roots and leaves
So I can get some air
So I can finally breathe
And now I'm on my knees
Oh baby, begging please
Will you
Will you
Will you end my pain?
Will you take my life?
Will you bleed me out?
Will you hang me out to dry?
Will you take my soul in the midnight rain?
While I'm falling apart
While I'm going
Will you end my pain?
Will you take my life?
Will you bleed me out?
Will you hang me out to dry?
Will you take my soul in the midnight rain?
While I'm falling apart
While I'm going insane
We cannot choose the things that will happen to us
But we can choose the attitude we want to take
Towards anything that happens to us
Goodbye
And don't you miss me when I'm gone
Goodbye
'Cause you're the fucking reason that I'm not around
Goodbye
Don't you miss me when I'm, miss me when I'm gone
Goodbye
'Cause you're the fucking reason that I'm not around
Fucking reason that I'm not around
Bitch, you're the fucking reason that I'm not around
1881
~Seneca Davies (emme)

"Blood run cold like overdose, going toe to toe with death
Smokin' 'till I'm comatose, 'till there just ain't nothin' left
Whiskey with the cyanide, empty bottle by my bed
Depression got no antidote so fill my fucking brain with lead"

Ain’t a drug that could fix me
I’m too fucked up

Swedish references in Disco Elysium and A Sacred and Terrible Air
There's a couple of things I keep thinking about in the Elysium universe from a Scandinavian or specfically swedish POV and I need to put them somewhere. It makes sense a lot of the game is both Slavic and Scandi inspired since the author is Estonian (and many of the people working on it also are from North Europe).
To start off: racism and white nationalism. This starts in Disco Elysium with, for example, the Hjelmdallarmann comic which is clearly an in universe viking fiction. Vikings, Celtics and similar have in real life unfortunately been co-opted by white nationalists wanting to return to anarchist values.
The same goes for the fictional ancient civilizations in Elysium. We know what types are into the Hjelmdall fiction
In Terrible Air this is shown in Vidkun Hird, the imprisoned white nationalist who once led a nationalist party called Hjelmdall. He also shares a name with Vidkun Quisling, Norwegian nazi collaborator.
Vikard similarly resembles IRL white nationalists interested in these aesthetics by talking at length about how beautiful the missing Lund girls are, focus on racial purity and innocent women as soon as they're old enough to have children.
In summary, Elysium’s worldbuilding is so extensive there’s in-canon white nationalists with a hard on for vikings.
On a lighter note: Vaasa and Katla are both very clear analogs for Northernmost Europe. Vaasa is likely named after the Swedish royal lineage Vasa, often considered to be our “great” kings since they successfully created a Swedish empire which contained much of Northern Europe and a few isles in the Atlantic. There even is a Finnish town named Vaasa after Swedish occupation.
They speak Swedish a few times in the books (song lyrics, Skål!) also there is just Östermalm which exists in real life. I was there two days ago.
Northern Katla is definitely Finland. It shares a border with Grad (Russia) and also Cunoesse is from there.
(Näkki is a necken or nix, water-living faefolk who play the fiddle)
Here's Cunoesse just calling you a "cop motherfucker" in Finnish (more or less. Vittu is a transcendental curse and hard to translate)
Katla could be named either after the Icelandic volcano or after the dragon in Bröderna Lejonhjärta (The Brothers Lionheart) by Astrid Lindgren, same author who did Pippi Longstocking. Or maybe something entirely different but those are the things that come to mind. Here is Katla from the movie, haunting Scandinavian children since 1977.
