Merrill Nisker (born 1966 in Toronto), better known as Peaches, is an electroclash artist whose songs are mainly focused on sexuality. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She plays almost all the instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her records.
Peaches' music is preoccupied with gender identity. Her lyrics and live shows self-consciously blur the distinction between male and female: she appears on the cover of her second album Fatherfucker with a full beard; when asked if she had chosen the title for shock value, she commented:
"Why do we call our mothers motherfuckers? Why do we stub our toe and say "Aww motherfucker!"? What is motherfucker? ...We use it in our everyday language and it's such an insanely intense word. I'm not one to shy away from these obscene terms that we actually have in our mainstream. Motherfucker is a very mainstream word. But if we're going to use motherfucker, why don't we use fatherfucker? I'm just trying to be even."
She refutes accusations of 'penis envy', preferring the term 'hermaphrodite envy', since "there is so much male and female in us all". Nevertheless, she does not shy away from identifying herself as a sexual being, although she rejects the sanitised portrayal of women in popular music.
Although she does not hold a teaching degree, she taught at private schools before her career in music.
Fancypants Hoodlum released in 1995 was released under her birth name Merrill Nisker
Members of her band are known as The Herms - JD Samson, Radio Sloan, Samantha Maloney.
Her songs have been featured in movies such as Mean Girls, My Little Eye, Lost in Translation, Waiting, and Jackass: Number Two. Her music has also been featured on Showtime's The L Word television series. Peaches performed guest vocals on P!nk's album Try This, on the song "Oh My God". Her lyrics are discussed as part of the Queer Studies course curriculum at the University Of Toronto, and she has been invited to lecture at the Contemporary Music Academy in Berlin. Her most notorious song, "Fuck The Pain Away", is also the name of an Electro night in Brighton.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I den här jävla bleka lokalen
Och bara titta på klockan
Och vänta på att dagen ska ta slut
När solen steker ute
Och bara en strimma sol här inne
Ska man bara sitta tyst och stilla
Och lyssna på majjens snack om geografi
Jag tror jag drar nu
Det här kan va nu
Livet är stenkul utanför murarna
Dit vill jag gå och inte hit
Jag vill inte gå hit
Jag vill inte gå hit
Jag vill inte gå hit nej
Jag vill inte gå hit
Så en dag ringer dom psykologen
Då ska de kolla vad jag egentligen är för en
På papper ska man svara på frågor
Som säger om man är dum eller om man är idiot
Men om man älskar allt i livet
Och skiter blanka i vad som står skrivet
Ska man då på papper svara på frågor
Som säger om man är dum eller om man är idiot
Jag tror jag drar nu
Det här kan va nu
Livet är stenkul utanför murarna
Dit vill jag gå och inte hit
Jag vill inte gå hit
Jag vill inte gå hit
Jag vill inte gå hit nej
Jag vill inte gå hit
The lyrics to Peaches's song "Jag vill inte gå hit" (translated as "I don't want to go here") express a strong desire to escape from a mundane and oppressive environment. The song starts off with the singer questioning the point of sitting in a pale and boring room, watching the clock and waiting for the day to end. While the sun is shining outside, there is only a small ray of sunlight inside. The singer feels the urge to break free from this monotony, not wanting to sit silently and listen to empty conversations about geography.
The chorus repeats the sentiment of not wanting to be in that place. The singer declares that life is much more exciting outside the walls, expressing a specific desire to go somewhere else instead of staying where they are. The repetition of "Jag vill inte gå hit" emphasizes the strong rejection of the current situation.
In the second verse, the mention of a psychologist suggests that the singer's feelings of wanting to escape are so intense that they might be seen as abnormal. The sarcastic tone indicates a disregard for such assessments. The mention of answering questions on paper about intelligence, with options like "dumb" or "idiot," highlights the absurdity of labeling individuals based on standardized tests. The singer raises the question of why someone who loves life and doesn't care about what is written should be subjected to such evaluations.

Ska man sitta här hela dagen
Do I have to sit here all day
I den här jävla bleka lokalen
In this damn pale room
Och bara titta på klockan
And just watch the clock
Och vänta på att dagen ska ta slut
And wait for the day to end
När solen steker ute
When the sun is scorching outside
Och bara en strimma sol här inne
And only a beam of sunshine in here
Ska man bara sitta tyst och stilla
Should one just sit quietly and still
Och lyssna på majjens snack om geografi
And listen to Majjen's talk about geography
Jag tror jag drar nu
I think I'm leaving now
Det här kan va nu
This might be it
Livet är stenkul utanför murarna
Life is awesome outside the walls
Dit vill jag gå och inte hit
I want to go there and not here
Jag vill inte gå hit
I don't want to go here
Jag vill inte gå hit
I don't want to go here
Jag vill inte gå hit nej
I don't want to go here, no
Så en dag ringer dom psykologen
So one day the psychologist calls
Då ska de kolla vad jag egentligen är för en
Then they will check what kind of person I really am
På papper ska man svara på frågor
On paper, you have to answer questions
Som säger om man är dum eller om man är idiot
That say if you're stupid or if you're an idiot
Men om man älskar allt i livet
But if you love everything in life
Och skiter blanka i vad som står skrivet
And don't give a damn about what's written
Ska man då på papper svara på frågor
Should you then answer questions on paper
Som säger om man är dum eller om man är idiot
That say if you're stupid or if you're an idiot
Jag tror jag drar nu
I think I'm leaving now
Det här kan va nu
This might be it
Livet är stenkul utanför murarna
Life is awesome outside the walls
Dit vill jag gå och inte hit
I want to go there and not here
Jag vill inte gå hit
I don't want to go here
Jag vill inte gå hit
I don't want to go here
Jag vill inte gå hit nej
I don't want to go here, no
Jag vill inte gå hit
I don't want to go here
