About Battery Check

"Battery Check" is a song by the Swedish punk rock band Millencolin from the album Home from Home. It was released as a single on July 3, 2003 by Burning Heart Records in two versions: One with the album version of "Battery Check", sung in English, as the lead track, and the other with a Swedish language version entitled "E20 Norr" as the lead track. This version was named after E20 Norr, a northern part of the European route E20 which runs through the band's home town in Sweden. Both versions of the single include the alternate language version as the second track, and both also include the b-side song "Bowmore" from the album's recording sessions. An accompanying music video was also filmed and released in both languages, with the English version titled "Battery Check" and the Swedish version titled "E20 Norr". Both versions of the song and the music video are identical except for the language used.

Walking around the streets of Linné
Reloading batteries in my own way
Nobody around here would know who I am.
that's o.k
I really want to do something new
Just anything different to get into
It's all up to me to give it a try
That it's all up to me is making me terrified
It looks like I'll be waiting for moments 
that will never arrive

When will I live my life for me?
When will I do what I want to?
When will I let myself be free
And take care of things that I value?
So when will I live my life just for me?

Hitting P.B driving E20 north
Future plans are being made
going back and forth
Remaining passive
I do got dreams on my mind
And I really should be taking a chance
Risk my safety just for once advance
The one who is trying
is the one who succeeds
I should be following
my heart and my needs
But I know it's a problem for me
to translate words into deeds

Please say you feel the same way
Just say to know exactly how I feel
So say you feel the same way
And I will do it for real

When will I live my life for me?
When will I do what I want to?
When will I let myself be free
And take care of things that I value?
It's true. I need to forgive myself and see
Its not too late for something new
So when will I live my life just for me?
Yeah when will I live my life just for me?
Yeah maybe I'll live my life just for me?
