Unlike most other Swedish rappers Ken attracted alot of controversy, because of his tendency to bring out social issues such as crime, jail, drugs and ethnic integration in his songs. Especially controvercial was his song "Stockholms blodbad" (translated "the Stockholm Blood-bath"). In this song he is perceived as promoting the murder of the royal family as well as the rape of the princesse. Although he himself claims the statements of the song to be of a strictly rhetorical type, Swedish media and opinion were unforgiving. Ken was shunned from social events and popular media for a long time. Most of his supporters cite this as evidence of the cowardly way in which Swedish media never misses a chance to scrutinize uncomfortable outsiders.

ETERNAL REST
Ken Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

そっと君は呼吸を潜め
儚き夢を弔う出会わぬよう
深く埋めて温もりさえも
香りさえ届きはしない
闇のそこへ
旅立つ人帰らぬ日々を
もう二度と振り向かないで
さあ顔上げ

You are away on a big journey
誘うEternal rest
そこで誰に見せる? 君の宝物
けがれなきPurist
孤独はどうするの?
自分で慰めてくの?

読み終えた恋物語
そこにある喜びより華麗な無情
深く噛んだ滑らかな肌
舌に残る滲みでる血
さあ飲み込み
You are away on a big journey
誘うEternal rest
そこで誰に見せる? 君の壊れ物
砕けちるPurist

孤独はどうするの? 果てない自分を
眠れぬ夜には一人で慰めてくの?
