Sleep
Drool
Dream of me
Dream of whom you could never see
Cry
Lie
Liquify my desire and drain it out of me
Laugh
Mock
Mystify all your words till you make them mine
Living in a chimera that is so real
Which part of me should I let drift away?
Talk
Play
Absolve yourself and feed the ones I’ve yet to become
Come
Smile
Who am I to redeem all your certainties?
Living in a chimera that is so real
Which part of me should I let drift away?

Saturnian night
04:07
|

I ran out of the bar
Left the crowd behind
Alone feels so good tonight
With spirals in my mind
I think of what has been
What to expect from now
God is Saturn tonight
I'm crawling in the unknown
But I see my feet stepping away from me
Paving the way like I've been there before
Out of fear?
Out of hope?
Memories tearing me
Carving black holes in my red dress
Memories kissing me
I let them flirt nevertheless
Was it worth the fights, the pain, the sighs?
Rupture, change, release, quietness
I'm rising up now and I say
Dreams, where have you been?
Been longing for you
Come and cradle me to sleep tonight
Where have you been?
Been longing for you
Come and cradle me to sleep tonight
I saw too many dawns
Peeking at the past
So far away tonight
I can't even remember its touch
What did I do wrong
A misstep somewhere
I don't even care tonight
A secret I'm here to share
'Cause I feel this urge growing all over me
And follow my heart like an obedient child
Out of hope?
Out of lust?
Memories teasing me,
Can't recognise their grieving grin
Memories tiring me
I'll let them die under my skin
Dreams, where have you been?
Been longing for you
Come and cradle me to sleep tonight
Where have you been?
Been longing for you
Come and cradle me to sleep tonight

Suddenly it occurs to me that I'm here once again
My thoughts are chasing me like bad deja-vu
That keeps on coming back
Your eyes are prodding me
A gentle reminder of who really holds the reins
Demands, conformity, camouflage, routine
Some call it love
Say again?
Obeying was never a strength of mine
We both know your spurs have lost their grip on me
What should I do to satisfy your hungry mouth?
What should I do?
What should I do?
Now clap your hands the way you always have
The way you always have
What should I do to satisfy your begging eyes?
Who should I be to fit your rules?
Who should I be?
Who should I be?
I've shaken off all the roles I played
And laid them down for you
Fleurs-de-lis, red roses, anything will do
Here lies one who tried very hard, but failed, to please us all
I know it'd be too much to ask you to be glad for me
It's easier to be sad when one feels blue
Au revoir
Thanks for the time you gave me
Anything I owe you
Take it off the advance I paid you

Cada vez que afloro
Cada vez que quero
Cada vez que arraso
Desando
Cada vez que enfrento
Cada vez que creio
Cada vez que caio
Adianto
Cada vez igual
Sigo à frente assim mecanicamente
Com o cuidado de quem anda na escuridão
E a força duma previsão
Cada vez a ousar
Dizem que as coisas apresentam-se sempre por uma razão
No entanto fico presa entre a vontade de entender
E a tentação de não poder
Cada vez maior

I see an elephant jump in the canal
Raise the waters, bring back my boat
11.30, time to wake up
The knocking past comes and disappears
After midnight I walk through the town
A hundred lights won't judge where I go
Just let me dance or simply prove me wrong
I love my moon, I know how to relax
I don't need any help
But if you give me some cheese today will be fine
The blame that brings the rain has no time to play again
To be or to let it be
Here I float
At the mercy of my little whims
I don't ask you to understand
Nothing further from me
Like to a queen, things happen to me out of the blue

Indecency

When my heart was no longer beating
And people were plunging through the void
You said you'd had many lovers
Lucky ones
I was so overwhelmed
I couldn't ask for anything better
No one would have
Why do you dare dress up the ugly?
Beauty shines through inevitably
When it was time to cut the chase
When it was time to cut the chase
Such a letdown
Why do you dare dress up the ugly?
Beauty shines through inevitably

Unwritten truths

Look, there he is
Sneaking from afar
Rubbing his hands
For it's only a matter of time
That's nothing new
He's done it before
He can't but engage in a consolidated give-and-take
Little does he care someone may lose out
He knows how not to
For some, habit is all there is
How brave one must be
How free one must be
To turn a blind eye for a short-lived illusion of gain
Now he can see them coming with great pomp
They're not used to getting a no for an answer
They've got all the charm to win his loyalty
For a little while
Just like a good old-fashioned love story
Then when it's all gone
He's left with a goodbye note
And maybe a little mention in their self-indulgent accounts
Legend has it he never missed his chance
Though he'd long lost that twinkle in his eyes
That of someone who thought to be cannier than them
How brave one must be
How free one must be
To turn a blind eye for a short-lived illusion of gain

I can't say when I stopped taking pleasure in being myself
Like the earth I can't pause
Yet I lay motionless
Though I'm staring out through the window
Trendy shoes step on ripe pomegranates
Scattering their seeds beneath an overbearing tree
For two days I have been stuck inside this hotel room
My limbs ache
They can't move
I lost control of them
Though I'm staring out through the window
Trendy shoes step on ripe pomegranates
Scattering their seeds beneath an overbearing tree

I was travelling overseas when I got stopped
Officials from a foreign land told me
That I was forbidden to speak their tongue
I couldn't say a word until I knew it well
Or so they said
I was travelling overseas when I got stopped
Officials from a foreign land told me
That I was forbidden to speak their tongue
I couldn't say a word until I knew it well
Or so they said

C'est bon, c'est bon, c'est bon
Cosa puoi dir di più
Qualcosa che non sai
Eppure lo vedi già
Io non ricordo più come potrei chiamarti ora
Con che parole
Stammi a sentire
Lo dedico per dire
Nemmeno per capire
Neppure confessare
Prendila così
Di me e di te io vorrei parlare di altro che
Come stai, dove vai, con chi sei
Non ti dirò di più
Se resti qui con me
Ad aspettare di non sapere più cosa fare
Non mi aspettare
Porta un chilo di ciliegie
Per farti perdonare dei modi che sai dare
Quando stai con me
