Crawling in my skin! These wounds, they will not heal! Fear is how I fall! Confusing what is real!

[Susann.e23]

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface.

[PaolaG807690]

Consuming, confusing...

[Zhzhouzhou]

This lack of self control I fear is never ending

[Marlie983518]

Controlling, I can't seem

[Zmrzlina]

Det var bättre förr! ;)

[MissMuse]

How does one say "Get off my lawn!" in Swedish? :)

[Zmrzlina]

Bort från min tomt! :p

[Othmane_Chen]

And they smoke cannabis while playing skate-boards and tagging walls with obscenities.

[EduardoAzeredoS]

The pronunciation of "generation" is quite tricky!

[SavannahRuley]

How are you supposed to pronounce generation, it doesnt sound like they are using enough sounds for letters

[ayylmao23123]

[Tuxfriend]

This is so Goth! ;-)

[NatalieBoa3]

Does this mean "Your generation WEARS black clothes"? Because it seems odd to say they have them. All generations have some black clothing. It is just a matter of how frequently they wear them.

[sotnosen93]

It can mean both, but I believe it would be understood as "wears". That's what I, a native Swedish speaker, put in and it was accepted.

[BretCollin1]

That's a very weird sentence in English as the mirth above suggests.

[NevilleJam]

Touche!

[lethang001]

Generation has the german r, right?

[Briany20050]

the heck does that mean anyway!

[sotnosen93]

That the people of that generation wears black clothes.

[Pink345790]

The people of that generation wear black clothes. 'Wears' treats people as a singular and turns it into a countries or other communities population.

[rose721]

we use has only for he she and it...no?

[Koolkaren]

Yes, "has" is used for third person singular, so for he, she and it, as you say. In this sentence, "your generation" is an "it", so it uses "has".

[BruceDOlson]

This is a case of collectives. One would say your generation has left its mark on history but it is the members of the generation that have black clothes. The team is large means it has many members; the team are large means it is composed of members who are large. This is perhaps a fine point of proper English that is fading into oblivion.

[christhroup]

The English sentence, with "has", is valid but it does suggest the black clothes are collectively owned by the entire generation.

If the individual members of the generation have their own, personal black clothes then it really should be "have".

[ShanneSkratch]

Satisfaction generation

[Rick626361]

Thats generationist!!!

[WithoutAnyMilk]

\m/

[tlhup]

Is this literal (and correct) or to say we're constantly in mourning (also correct)

[Anna286760]

This seems fitting to say in Swedish, as I hear Swedes wear a lot of black :P

[stefanosometimes]

...a generation of Goths...cool, I like it!!

[Olesja386275]

That were goths or emo?

[AnnaKrzywo1]

Is the pronunciation nof generation seriously "ienrathiun"?

[Olesja386275]

As I found - sion, tion pronounces as SHUN or H(F)HUN (something middle between H and F) - depends on regions of Sweden. Also skj, stj, sj, ch give this sound.
And g pronounces as J before e, i, y, ö, ä, j and when rg, lg in end of words.
Sorry if I'm wrong.
My recommendation is to find pronunciation rules in Swedish, it helped me a lot.

[thoscorco]

Sentence is poorly translated. Needs to say "wears".

[CaliforniaNorma]

Wouldn't that be har pa sig?
