"Feelings aren't good or bad […]. They're just weak or strong. Love, for example, is weak: someone loves you, you love them back, you're happy for a while, and the it fades away. But if one of those lovers betrays the other, then you have a real emotion - then you have something powerful, something that leaves a mark you'll never be rid off."

Dan Wells, in Mr. Monster

"Quão simples foi tudo! E como somos idiotas por fazermos da vida uma provação! Quase se diria que desejamos ser infelizes, ou então que receamos que a concretização dos nossos desejos nos faça explodir!"

No Sound But the Wind

Just Breathe




Yes, I understand that every life must end, aw-huh,..
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw-huh,..
Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands
the ones I love,..

Some folks just have one,
yeah, others, they've got none, huh-uh

Stay with me,..
Let's just breathe.

Practiced are my sins,
never gonna let me win, aw-huh,..
Under everything, just another human being, aw-huh,..
Yeah, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
to make me bleed.

Stay with me,..
You're all I see.

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see...
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.

I wonder everyday
as I look upon your face, aw-huh,..
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh,..
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave...

Did I say that I need you?
Oh, did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see...
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean, ah-ah...

Nothing you would take,..
Everything you gave.
Hold me till I die,..
Meet you on the other side.

sexta-feira, fevereiro 01, 2013

I... You...

I wait for you... I watch for you...
My all life is you...

I can't breathe because I'm waiting for you...

You own me! You control me!
I belong to you!

I love you...

I'm in love with you...

You're the love of my life...

I can't breathe without you... I can't sleep without you...
I wait for you... I watch for you...

I exist for you!

If i could escape all this and run away with you...

I belong... to you...

I belong with you you belong with me you're my sweet (Ho!)

Born to Die


My, who me, my
Feet don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Ohh my heart it breaks every step that I take
But I'm hoping at the gates,
They'll tell me that you're mine
Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design
I feel so alone on the friday night
Can you make it feel like home, 
if I tell you you're mine

Is like i told you honey

Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh,
Lets go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane, so
Choose your last words
This is the last time
'Cause you and I
We were born to die

Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Trying to take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers honey

Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh,
Lets go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane 
Choose your last words,
This is the last time
Cause you and I
We were born to die x3

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane

Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough when the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh,
Lets go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane 
Choose your last words,
This is the last time
Cause you and I
We were born to die x2

Angels



Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me

They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
In love, love, love

And everyday
I'm learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels

And leaving without them
And leaving without them

Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I'm ready
As long as you're with me

Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love

Five Minutes of Everything




Give me please five minutes of everything
Those days when you wake up
And there's no one by your side
My arm slides slowly to my left side
And to my right side, there's no one there
To kiss you or to hear you
And you go out of bed
Thinking in those days that you need
You used to talk and talk about
And everything that stops your attention
You used to talk, talk about
Everything
Those days when you walk at the bar
And try to keep a conversation with somebody else
And no one out there you could sit down or walk
There's no one there.
Five minutes of love
Five minutes of hate
Five minutes I try to call your name
Five minutes of passion
And no one knows the right place to go
No meaning or just self-control maybe
And you walk out of there
You need to talk with somebody else
And to know the problems are waiting for
Outside the door
Are waiting for
The clock won't stop
And even if it stops
Five minutes of love
Five minutes of hate
Five minutes I try to call your name
Of passion
Five minutes of everything
Of everything
Maybe you want to talk about old questions
Right next to my ear
But I don't care about those silly things
Cause all I need is five minutes of everything

All That I Wanted


How wonderful to see you here, my love
The whole world happens when you’re near, my love
The waterfalls, the northern lights above
They’re so insane and so hard to explain

You were all that i wanted, all that I needed
So don’t make me say it, It would just break it, believe me
You were all that I wanted, all I ever needed
Can’t bring myself to say it
I guess I’ll just keep this a secret
So I can keep it, keep it

The earth turns its endless spin, my love
Tornados grow but fail to win, my love
And there’s a place that I keep dreaming of
Away from here, Illogical and fearless

Madness

m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad
m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad
m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad

I, I can't get this memories out of my mind,
it's some kind of madness, is started to evolve
I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of Madness is swallowing me whole. 

I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you mean

Oooh hahaha ouhouhouhou

And know, I need to know, is this real love?
Or is it just Madness keeping us a float.
But when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
It's like some kind of Madness, was taking control.

And know I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you need

m-m-m-m-m-m-mh
m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad
m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad

And know I have finally seen the end (finally seen the end)
And I not expecting you to care (expecting you to care)
And I have finally seen the light (finally seen the light)
And I have finally realized
I need your Love
I need your Love

Come to me, just in a dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I know, I can't be wrong
And maybe all too have strong
Our love is...

Better Than I Know Myself


Cold as ice
And more bitter than a december
Winter night
That's how I treated you
And I know that I
I sometimes tend to lose my temper
And I cross the line
Yeah that's the truth

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

All along
I tried to pretend it didn't matter
If I was alone
But deep down I know
If you were gone
For even a day I wouldn't know which way to turn
Cause I'm lost without you

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

I get kind of dark
Let it go too far
I can be obnoxious at times
But try and see my heart
Cause I need you now
So don't let me down
You're the only thing in this world
I would die without

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

Every Time We Kiss


I find it hard to believe in you honey
I can see it's a joke but I can't find it so funny no more
Oh we've made it there
A rush for the gold, the promised land
We lay there in silence
Under the stars and the milky way

But every time we kiss I can see you turning
Every time we talk another line gets cut
Every single word all torn and messed up

Our song came along, we couldn't help but to sing it
Know the words by heart
But I can't find its real meaning no more
Oh we taught the prayer
Inside neon lights, we danced in there
The sound going higher, higher,
The backdrop pulling us in

Every time we kiss I can see you turning
Every time we talk, the phone line gets cut
Every single word gets torn and messed up

Every time we kiss I can see you falling
Every time we laugh I can hear it dying
We've tried it all before but we just ain't learning
We ain't learning
We're just hurting
Each other
Again

Every time we kiss I can feel it turning
Every time we talk I feel a little dead
Every single word gets worn to the thread
It's messed up

Every time we kiss I can see you falling
Every time we laugh I can hear it dying
We've tried it all before but we just ain't learning
We ain't learning
We're just hurting
Each other
Again

Underneath


Strip away the flesh and bone 
Look beyond the lies you've known 
Everybody wants to talk about a freak 
No one want to dig that deep 
Let me take you underneath 

Baby better watch you step 
Never mind what's on the left 
You're gonna see things you might not wanna see
It's still not that easy for me underneath 

A red river of screams 
Underneath 
Tears in my eyes 
Underneath 
Stars in my black and blue sky 
And underneath 
Under my skin 
Underneath the depths of my sin 
Look at me 
Now do you see? 

Welcome to my world of truth 
I don't wanna hide any part of me from you 
I'm standing here with no apologies 
Such a beautiful release 
You inside of me 

A red river of screams 
Underneath 
Tears in my eyes 
Underneath 
Stars in my black and blue sky 
And underneath 
Under my skin 
Underneath the depths of my sin 
Look at me 
Now do you see?
Underneath... 

Welcome to my world of truth 

A red river of screams 
Underneath 
Tears in my eyes 
Underneath 
Stars in my black and blue eyes 
And underneath 
Under my skin 
Underneath the depths of my skin
Look at me 
Now do you see? 
Underneath... Look at me... Do you see?
Look at me
Do you see?

Welcome to my world of truth 
I don't wanna hide any part of me from you

Powerless


You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine 
You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind 
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through 
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose 

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall 
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless 

I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end. 
I'm left with emptiness that words can not defend 
You'll never know what I became because of you 
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose 

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall 
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless 

Powerless

"Ninguém está destinado a uma outra pessoa. Não só porque não existe um destino, nem ninguém capaz de manipular as vidas a esse nível. Não: acima de tudo porque entre as pessoas não existe nenhuma obrigatoriedade que possa transcender as necessidades casuais e o poder dominador do hábito."

in Comboio Nocturno para Lisboa, by Pascal Mercier
"Na intimidade estamos entrelaçados um no outro, e os laços invisíveis são como correntes libertadoras. Esse entrelaçamento é imperioso: exige exclusividade. Partilhar é atraiçoar. Mas nós não gostamos, amamos, tocamos apenas uma única pessoa. O que fazer então? Gerir as várias formas de intimidade? Impor uma contabilidade pedante sobre os temas, palavras e gestos? Sobre o saber e os segredos comuns? Seria um veneno a pingar silenciosamente, gota a gota."

"Quando o tempo começa a escassear na vida de uma pessoa, as regras deixam de ter validade. E então tem-se a sensação de que perdemos o tino e estamos maduros para o manicómio. Mas no fundo é ao contrário: no manicómio deviam estar aqueles que não querem crer que o tempo escasseia. Aqueles que continuam a viver sempre da mesma maneira, como se nada tivesse acontecido."

in Comboio Nocturno para Lisboa, by Pascal Mercier
"A desilusão é considerada um mal. Que preconceito irreflectido. Através do quê, senão através da desilusão, poderíamos descobrir o que esperamos e o que desejamos? E onde encontrar um momento de autoconhecimento, senão precisamente nessa descoberta? E se as coisas se processam assim, então como é que poderíamos adquirir clareza sobre nós próprios sem a desilusão?
Não devíamos suportar a desilusão com suspiros de desânimo, como algo sem o qual a nossa vida seria melhor. Devíamos procurá-la, persegui-la, coleccioná-la. [...]
Alguém apostado em conhecer-se verdadeiramente teria de ser um coleccionador obcecado e fanático de desilusões, e a procura de experiências decepcionantes deveria ser para ele como um vício, na verdade como o vício dominante da sua vida, pois então ele compreenderia, com grande clareza, que a desilusão não é afinal o veneno ardente e destruidor por que é tomada, mas um bálsamo fresco e tranquilizante que nos abre os olhos para os verdadeiros contornos do nosso eu mais íntimo."

Ever Fallen in Love

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt and I'm hurt
And if I cause a commotion
I only end up losing you and that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love in love with someone
Ever fallen in love in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with 

I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out now just what's to blame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we both the same that's what i'm saying

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love in love with someone
Ever fallen in love in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with 

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt and I'm hurt
And if I cause a commotion
I only end up losing you and that's worse my pride

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love in love with someone
Ever fallen in love in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Did you ever, fall in love, did you ever, fall in love, 
Did you ever, did you ever, did you ever,

Did you ever, ever fall in love, did you ever, ever fall in love, 
Did you ever, did you ever, did you ever........

"Quando abandonamos um sítio deixamos lá algo de nós próprios, permanecemos lá, apesar de partirmos. E há coisas em nós que só podemos recuperar se lá regressarmos. Aproximamo-nos portanto de nós, viajamos para dentro de nós próprios quando o matraquear monótono das rodas nos transporta em direcção a um sítio por onde percorremos uma etapa da nossa vida, por mais breve que esta tenha sido. Assim que colocamos pela segunda vez o pé na gare da estação estranha, ouvimos as vozes dos altifalantes, cheiramos os cheiros inconfundíveis, não chegamos apenas a um qualquer destino distante, mas atingimos a distância da própria interioridade, talvez num remoto canto do nosso eu, que quando estamos num outro sítio permanece oculto e completamente entregue à invisibilidade."

Never Let Me Go

Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under

And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray no need to speak
Now I am under all

And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me

Though the pressures hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under all

And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me

And it's over
And I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in

I'm slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
So sweet and so cold
And all this devotion I never knew at all
In the crushes of heaven for a sinner released
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go

And it's over
And I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in

I'm slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet

"Porque todo aquele que se apaixona está à procura da metade que lhe falta. Daí que todo e qualquer apaixonado se sinta triste ao pensar na pessoa amada. É como regressar passado muito tempo a um quarto onde se viveu bons momentos."

in Kafka à Beira-Mar, by Haruki Murakami

"Antigamente as pessoas não se limitavam a ser homens e mulheres, mas um dos três tipos: macho/macho, macho/fêmea ou fêmea/fêmea. Por outras palavras, cada pessoa continha em si os componentes das duas partes. Toda a gente vivia satisfeita com este estado de coisas e nem sequer pensavam muito nisso. Foi então que os deuses pegaram numa faca e cortaram cada um em dois. E assim, depois disso, o mundo ficou dividido em machos e fêmeas, e as pessoas passaram o resto da vida à procura da sua própria metade."

in Kafka à Beira-Mar, by Haruki Murakami
