I can't erase memories with the actions I seize

Claudia - Deixa eu dizer

Porque sabe bem ouvir de madrugada

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While youre far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Dont want to close my eyes
I dont want to fall asleep
Cause Id miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
Id still miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And Im wondering what youre dreaming
Wondering if its me youre seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God were together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

Dont want to close my eyes
I dont want to fall asleep
Cause Id miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
Id still miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing

I dont want to miss one smile
I dont want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Dont want to close my eyes
I dont want to fall asleep
Cause Id miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
Id still miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing

Dont want to close my eyes
I dont want to fall asleep
I dont want to miss a thing

Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing

My Favourite Game

I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up, you spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I tried, I tried, (but you're still the same) I tried
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

The Cardigans

Não muito distante

Eu queria mais alegria,
isso é que eu queria,
alegria a correr todo o ano
era só isso que eu queria, mais alegria,
mas não foi, não foi bem, o meu caso

É que eu também já sabia,
eu já sabia,
já sabia qual era o engano
é que eu não tive o que eu queria, quando podia,
e depois, mais alguém, nunca mais

Disse-me um dia, não muito distante
Volta num dia, não muito distante
Quem sentiu o que eu sentia, quando partia,
e partia levando o encanto

Fica a saber que eu choro, por tanta alegria
como eu sei, sei tão bem, e não tive
Disse-me um dia, não muito distante
Volta num dia, não muito distante
e eu disse um dia, não muito distante
Disse-lhe um dia, não muito distante

Madredeus

Only

I'm becoming less defined as days go by
Fading away
Well you might say
I'm losing focus
Kind drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes I think I can see right through myself

Less concerned about fitting into the world
Your world that is
Because it doesn't really matter
(no it doesn't really matter anymore)
None of this really matters anymore

Yes I'm alone but then again I always was
As far back as I can tell
I think maybe it's because
you never were really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked.
Yes it did!

[Chorus]
There is no you
There is only me
There is no you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me

Only, Only, Only

The tiniest little dot caught my eye
and it turned out to be scab and I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it was something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone, picking at that scab
Was a doorway trying to seal itself shut
But I climbed through

Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be,
and I can see things I knew I really Shouldn't see
And now I know why (yea now I know why)
Things aren't as pretty
On the inside

Heart's Dialogues

She: The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart. Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?

He: Don't you cry when we're through. I got a cold cold heart, I do.

She: You look so fine, I want to break your heart and give you mine. You're taking me over.

He: Growing hold, faking new, something borrowed and then again something blue. My cold heart can't go wrong and it gets me around in bounds along.

She: It's so insane! You've got me tethered and chained. I hear your name and I'm falling over.

He: Can't define what is love. Should I then pray out to the one above?

She: You come on like a drug, I just can't get enough. I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more and there's so much at stake, I can't afford to waste.

He: I don't have that stuff you need, but I can get down on my knees. I'll ease your pain, your appetite, for today it's ok, it's alright. It's alright as long as I don't have to stay, my cold heart can't take it any other way.

She: I don't care. I want you to stay and hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today.

He: "Long before I knew you there was someone who cared that warned my heart and made it part so high above the land."

She: A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart. Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?

He: Out of luck, knock on wood and I just left you because I could. My cold heart, who could tell? That all this silence would burn and turn to hell.

She: I used to adore you, I couldn't control you. There was nothing I wouldn't do to keep myself around and close to you.

He: I know what you're going through. I feel like I already know you. Why don't you come here near the light? It's ok. It's ok. It's ok. It's ok. It's alright.

She: You hold my hand, but do you really need me?

He: I don't have that stuff you need.

She: I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come on home and turn me on.

He: But I can get down on my knees. I'll ease your pain, your appetite, for today it's ok, it's alright.

She: Bend me, break me, any way you need me. All I want is you. Bend me, break me, breaking down is easy. All I want is you.

He: It's alright as long as I don't have to stay. My cold heart can't take it any other way.

She: Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me.

He: It's alright as long as ice can't turn to stone, I won't be alone.

She: That sinking feeling when you are leaving, all I believe in walks out my door.

He: Don't you cry when we're through, I've got this cold heart because, because I do.

She: Do what you want to do, just pretend happy end. Let me know, let it show. Ending with letting go, let's pretend happy end.

Dedicado

Towards the light
I will move on
And so I learn to move
The one before the next
The steps I take
Will pay the road ahead of me

I woke this morning
Wondering if I was alive
My head was spinning in circles
Turning to the other side
Bare and broken I hold on to walk

I stumbled over my body
I stumbled over my words
On control upon all wasted
As if I were beyond belief
Bare and broken I hold on to walk

Towards the light
I will walk
I will walk
Towards the light
I will walk
I will walk
Towards the light

Faster than
The speed of mind
Both my arms are wrapped around
This new experience

My head in clouds
My feet firmly on the ground

Towards the light
I will walk
And wrapped my arms around the ground
Beneath my feet

Towards the light
I will run
I will run
I will run
Towards the light

Towards the light
I will move on
And so I learn
To move
The one before
The next steps I take
Will pay the road ahead of me

Your Troubles Are Over - The Gathering in Home

Underworld

There's always something
You won't dare to say
Your good intentions
Are boring take me away
If it keeps you sane, then it's okay
If I played it safe, would it save me?

I'd like to get some rest now
If I could just ignore the truth
Scratching at the window
This time I've got to make a move
Ego obliteration
Stand back and watch me melt away
Dissolve all recognition

I've got to burn this weight out of my mind
Running through my veins until I disappear

This feeling is over
This feeling is over me

Climbing up the wall
Going to creep between the cracks
Get out of my skull
Tie the rope around my neck
Destroy all emotion
Going to rip my face to shreds
Cut my eyeballs open

I've got to burn this wait out of my mind
Running through my veins until I disappear

This feeling is over
This feeling is over me

Have you seen the Great Wall?

If the roof doesn't fall



Björk & Yorke- I've Seen It All

Oxalá

*

Oxalá, me passe a dor de cabeça, oxalá
Oxalá, o passo não me esmoreça

Oxalá, o Carnaval aconteça, oxalá
Oxalá, o povo nunca se esqueça

Oxalá, eu não ande sem cuidado
Oxalá, eu não passe um mau bocado
Oxalá, eu não faça tudo à pressa
Oxalá, meu Futuro aconteça

Oxalá, que a vida me corra bem, oxalá
Oxalá, que a tua vida também

Oxalá, o Carnaval aconteça, oxalá
Oxalá, O povo nunca se esqueça

Oxalá, o tempo passe, hora a hora
Oxalá , que ninguém se vá embora
Oxalá, se aproxime o Carnaval
Oxalá, tudo corra, menos mal

We used to be together
Every day together always

I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end"

Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear my crown of shit
On my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Nine Inch Nails

Resolvi fazer post desta música porque a adoro. Tem uma letra fenomenal, muito tocante e sentida, bem como a melodia que é bastante calma e nos embala nos sons e nas palavras.
Aproveito também para dedicar este post à pessoa que me deu a conhecer a música que, por sua vez, também gosta muito dela. Na minha opinião, e ainda não confrontei a pessoa com esta, a letra da música tem muito a ver com o seu ser; a ideia contida é muito semelhante aos seus pensamentos e certos versos são semelhantes a frases que outrora disse numa das nossas conversas alargadas.
Apercebi-me desse facto há pouco enquanto me deixava levar pela música e achei necessário mostrar-to, duma forma personalizada, devo dizer :)

"Don't drag me down
Just because you're down
And just cause you're blue
Don't make me too(...)"

Massive Attack - Better Things

Adormecido

No cenário da tua vida
Aclamas noites alucinantes
De gentes estonteantes
Que são tanto como tu
No teatro do teu olhar
Há quem note que a coragem
Não passa de uma miragem
Com preguiça de gritar
No repetir do teu mostrar
Inventas-te uma história
Que em ti não há memória
Porque sabes que não é tua...

Continuas a ensaiar
A conveniência do sorriso
O planear do improviso
Que te faz sentir maior
No artifício dos teus gestos
Pensas abraçar o mundo
Quando nem por um segundo
Te abraças a ti mesmo
E assim vais vivendo
E assim andando aí
E assim perdendo em ti
Tudo aquilo que nunca foste...

Quando um dia acordares
Numa noite sem mentira
E te vires onde não estás
Vais querer voltar para trás...


Toranja

Adoro esta letra porque me identifico com ela. E provavelmente muitas mais pessoas o farão. Vivemos num teatro em que o que mostramos é o que pensamos ser conveniente os outros verem. Dizemo-nos fortes quando trememos por dentro, dizemo-nos grandiosos quando nos sentimos pequenos ao lado de tudo e todos... dizemos o que não somos porque não sabemos olhar para dentro e vermo-nos e, assim, construimos uma personagem agradável aos outros olhos enquanto nos vamos perdendo nesse cenário falso e de mentira. Mas nada como a letra da música para exprimir as palavras ocas que vou tentando encadear.

P.S. Resolvi ocultar o refrão porque penso que não tem muito a ver com o que eu pretendia transmitir.
