Esquizofrenia

"A nossa sociedade tornou-se esquizofrénica. Elogiamos aqueles que procuram equilíbrio nas suas vidas mas recompensamos aqueles que se matam a trabalhar"


Roy Neel, político norte-americano

desafinando

Se voce disser que eu desafino amor,
Saiba que isso em mim provoca imensa dor
Só privilegiados tem ouvido igual ao seu,
Eu possuo apenas o que Deus me deu
Se voce insiste em classificar,
Meu comportamento de antimusical
Eu, mesmo mentindo devo argumentar,
Que isto é bossa nova, Que isto é muito natural
O que voce nao sabe, nem sequer pressente,
É que os desafinados também tem um coraçao
Fotografei voce na minha Rolleiflex,
Revelou-se a sua enorme ingratidao
Só nao poderá falar assim do meu amor,
Este é o maior que voce pode encontrar, viu
Voce com a sua música esqueceu o principal,
Que no peito dos desafinados
No fundo do peito bate calado,
Que no peito dos desafinados,
Também bate um coraçao.
de António Carlos Jobim 1959

Keep the car running

Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a different name
Men are coming to take me away
I don't know why, but I know I can't stay

There's a weight that's pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When it's coming, when it's coming

There's a fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When its coming, oh when but its coming

Keep the car running

If some night I don't come home
Please don't think I've left you alone
The same place animals go when they die
You can't climb across a mountain so high
The same city where I go when I sleep
You can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where
And they don't know
When it's coming, oh when is it coming?

Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running

Every Day Is Exactly the Same

I believe I can see the future
As I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now i never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around again

Oh, no

Everyday is exactly the same
Everyday is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Everyday is exactly the same

I can feel thier eyes are watching
In case I loose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I am still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know- I don't know what else I can do!

música de Nine Inch Nails do álbum With Teeth, 2005

Have you haver been down?

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
