Laurie Anderson dixit

I pretend you love me and you pretend you care.
I pretend I'm happy and you pretend you're there.
The lost art of conversation.

Muse - New Born

Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
For bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When youve seen, seen too much
Too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth?
You cant come down to earth
Youre swelling up
Youre unstoppable
Cause youve seen
Seen too much
And too young
Young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me its real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break a silence
Cause Im drifting away
Away from you
Yeah link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like its a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When youve seen, seen too much
Too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me its real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break a silence
Cause Im drifting away
Away from you

Turn my way

Take my hand
And don’t let go
Trust this man
And let it flow

Don’t take me down
Cause I’m not done
Don’t steal my crown
Before it’s won

The wide expanse
The wheel of chance
Will turn my way
The sky will not be gray

I don’t wanna be like other people are
Don’t wanna own a key, don’t wanna wash my car
Don’t wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true

Take my hand
And don’t let go
Trust this man
And let it flow

I drank in every bar in town
I filled my cup when I was down
I saw the things I wanted to see
Became the man I wanted to be
But then somehow I lost my way
I’ve got to get back there today

I don’t wanna be like other people are
Don’t wanna own a key, don’t wanna wash my car
Don’t wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true

I don’t wanna be like other people are
Don’t wanna own a key, don’t wanna wash my car
Don’t wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true

I don’t wanna be like other people are
Don’t wanna own a key, don’t wanna wash my car
Don’t wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true

I don’t wanna be like other people are
Don’t wanna own a key, don’t wanna wash my car
I lie awake at night, or wait until it’s light
I want it to be free, I thought that I was right

Tought that I was right
Tought that I was right
Tought that I was right
Tought that I was right
Tought that I was right
Tought that I was right

Sólo puedo decir como dice la canción:

"(...) 'cause I don't have much to say"

Canción: Marooned

NOCTURNO MAR

Ni tu silencio duro cristal de dura roca,
ni el frío de la mano que me tiendes,
ni tus palabras secas, sin tiempo ni color,
ni mi nombre, ni siquiera mi nombre
que dictas como cifra desnuda de sentido;

ni la herida profunda, ni la sangre
que mana de sus labios, palpitante,
ni la distancia cada vez más fría
sábana nieve de hospital invierno
tendida entre los dos como la duda;

nada, nada podrá ser más amargo
que el mar que llevo dentro, solo y ciego,
el mar, antiguo edipo que me recorre a tientas
desde todos los siglos,
cuando mi sangre aún no era mi sangre,
cuando mi piel crecía en la piel de otro cuerpo,
cuando alguien respiraba por mí que aún no nacía.

El mar que sube mudo hasta mis labios,
el mar que me satura
con el mortal veneno que no mata
pues prolonga la vida y duele más que el dolor.
El mar que hace un trabajo lento y lento
forjando en la caverna de mi pecho
el puño airado de mi corazón.

Mar sin viento ni cielo,
sin olas, desolado,
nocturno mar sin espuma en los labios,
nocturno mar sin cólera, conforme
con lamer las paredes que lo mantienen preso
y esclavo que no rompe sus riberas
y ciego que no busca la luz que le robaron
y amante que no quiere sino su desamor.

Mar que arrastra despojos silenciosos,
olvidos olvidados y deseos,
sílabas de recuerdos y rencores,
ahogados sueños de recién nacidos,
perfiles y perfumes mutilados,
fibras de luz y náufragos cabellos.

Nocturno mar amargo
que circula en estrechos corredores
de corales arterias y raíces
y venas y medusas capilares.

Mar que teje en la sombra su tejido flotante,
con azules agujas ensartadas
con hilos nervios y tensos cordones.

Nocturno mar amargo
que humedece mi lengua con su lenta saliva,
que hace crecer mis uñas con la fuerza
de su marca oscura.

Mi oreja sigue su rumor secreto,
oigo crecer sus rocas y sus plantas
que alargan más y más sus labios dedos.

Lo llevo en mí como un remordimiento,
pecado ajeno y sueño misterioso
y lo arrullo y lo duermo
y lo escondo y lo cuido y le guardo el secreto.

Xavier Villaurrutia

Can't make the words today

Así que pondré cara pseudo-optimista y de nuevo me apropiaré de una canción de The Gathering para decir lo que no tengo que decir y evitar la penosa situación de intentar expresarme.

"Sleepy Buildings"

Break yourself through the clouds
And build above those sleepy buildings.

Mystified by your capabilities
All is yours if you can handle.

Visable from higher than the sky
Plain and simple

The facts are at your feet.

The stones are snoring
Walls are breathing loud
Roofs are poking
into cosmic mouth.

Start the artifact
And build above those sleepy buildings.

Only you
know what is the absolute best.

The stones are snoring
Wall are breathing loud
Roofs are poking
into cosmic mouth.

To myself I turned

I was born in another world
strictly connected to a piece of my mind
nothing more than a little land
it is a small cradle where I'm a kid

I am the princess in there,
nothing wrong in my fantasy world
I am the king, the nation,
no dictators or religions

no laws laid down for me
I have my own liberty inside of me
Nothing to lose, I want to live here

:As you see I'm the only survivor in this land:

When did I hear this wind before
change like this to a deeper roar?
I'm starting to bleed another way
I just need some time to complete myself

these spotlights are here again
I can't see anything, I'm blind
this nature of time and space
makes me sick of the situation

I couldn't know if I...
if I will be strong enough for this
I have to choose, do I want to live here?

:As you see I'm the only survivor in this land:

Lacuna Coil

A modo de burla

Va la letra de otra canción de "The Gathering". Esta vez se trata de "Like fountains"

A scar inside
For such long time
I'll do it all over again
Can't face the wounds
Stop remembering

Time by time shades reach the surface
Mental breakdown, they provide
Accept, clear up, clean up, go on
and soon I'll show some pride

There's enough to go on further
Don't force to forget

{You seem to go on when you are that strong and fighting
Whatever it takes, your will never breaks
You last and last
And I will be there for you my dear
For you to go on when you are that strong and fighting}

Till the day I'm done with the shades
The rage I create towards myself, the hate ---------(ossia: The rage I create, the hate)
To claim the blame that I feel
To damage the dreams I need
Facing uncertainty
Facing the truth
Got to get on through
Blaming myself
Blame at last
...And please forget

{You seem to go on when you are that strong and fighting
Whatever it takes, your will never breaks
You last and last
And I will be there for you my dear
For you to go on when you are that strong and fighting}

Marooned

I know I'm from a lesser tribe
I suppose the range of my intelligence
is way too wide

And you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say

My emotional outlet
is consuming the better part of me
And apart from the wrong words
a tortured cry is making me see

That you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say

hours and hours of jealousy
are passing me by
Although hollow silence
is the only wave
[going through your brain

And you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say
