Waiting for You

I' ve been waiting for you
I' ve been waiting for you
Never found enything else to do
But waiting for you

I' ve been calling your name
I' ve been calling your name
Never found anything else to say
Nothing to say

You can kill a lot of time if you really want put your mind do it
Leave it all behind if you never wanna go through it

I keep hearing your name
I keep hearing your name
Nothing else sounds the same
As hearing your name

You can kill a lot of time if you really put your mind to it
Or leave it all behind and never ever go through it

I' ve been hoping for you
Keep hoping for you
What else can I do
But keep hoping for you?

You can kill a lot of time if you really put your mind to it
Or leave it all behind and never ever go through it

We can kill a lot and never really have to go through it

What else can I do
But keep hoping for you?

de Ben Harper

my ghost

your ghost

You've left your ghost
Until tomorrow
And then he must be sent
To a strange adderess
In the Mediterranean

I've met your ghost
He has proposed
I've met your ghost, yes
He's proposed
He needs some time alone
Then he'll stay with me
Then he'll visit your seven seas

Please leave me your ghost
I will keep him from harm
Although I've learned that
You were wounded
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/tori+amos/your+ghost_20976262.html ]
My forest of glass
Caused enough damage
As your tear satin crashing
My embers and my blues
Could have another use
Your ghost has shown me
Our primroses could survive the frost
If a gentle rivulet of flame is sustained tenderly

He'll play a Beatles tune
Me, more a Bach fugue
Is this such a great divide
Between your world and mine
They both can purify
And heal what was cut and bruised

Please leave me your ghost
I will keep him from harm
I understand that you've been wounded

My embers and my blues
Could have another use
Please leave me your ghost

Just leave me
Your ghost
I will keep him warm
I will keep him warm

de Tori Amos

Abre los ojos

Open your eyes,

öffnen Sie Ihre Augen,

Apri gli occhi,

Ouvrez vos yeux,

Deschide Ochii


Promises, Promises

I'm only 23 for another hour, give or take
I'm a fan of yours and I need a good mistake
I'm not a sinner or preacher, all I have is slight of hand
I do magic tricks for all the boys in the band

Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat

I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give in to this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don't ever make me promises
No promises

de Icubus

I've never done this before, promises, promises
But I'm enjoying the illusion and the things my body says
Now you see me, now you don't, oh how well you disappear
What are you running from and may I interfere?

Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat

I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give in to this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don't ever make me promises
No promises

de Incubus

for you

To bring you my love

I was born in the desert
I been down for years
Jesus, come closer
I think my time is near

And I've traveled over
Dry earth and floods
Hell and high water
To bring you my love

Climbed over mountains
Travelled the sea
Cast down off heaven
Cast down on my knees
I've laid with the devil
Cursed god above
Forsaken heaven
To bring you my love

To bring you my love
To bring you my love
To bring you my love

I know he's gonna be here
He know he's gonna be here
Yeah alright

Forsaken heaven
Cursed god above
Lay with the devil
Bring you my love

To bring you my love
To bring you my love
To bring you my love

Listening to Love me or Leave me

Love me or Leave me

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue

I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else

Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue

Say I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
My love is your love
There's no love for nobody else

Friendship ... there's no mysteries in it

Mysteries

God knows how I adore life

When the wind turns on the shores lies another day

I cannot ask for more

When the time bell blows my heart

And I have scored a better day

Well nobody made this war of mine

And the moments that I enjoy

A place of love and mystery

I'll be there anytime

Oh mysteries of love

Where war is no more

I'll be there anytime

When the time bell blows my heart

And I have scored a better day

Well nobody made this war of mine

And the moments that I enjoy

A place of love and mystery

I'll be there anytime

Mysteries of love

Where war is no more

I'll be there anytime

I've been wishing for too long

Eu simplesmente Amo-te

Eu amo-te sem saber como, ou quando, ou a partir de onde. Eu simplesmente amo-te, sem problemas ou orgulho: eu amo-te desta maneira porque não conheço qualquer outra forma de amar sem ser esta, onde não existe eu ou tu, tão intimamente que a tua mão sobre o meu peito é a minha mão, tão intimamente que quando adormeço os teus olhos fecham-se.

Pablo Neruda, in "Cem Sonetos de Amor"

Ducks

Closer

Stranded in this hoogie town,
Stop right this way
And then the phone lines are down
Snow is crackling cold,
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run,
Far from the carnage of the firey sun

Drivin' by the strangle of vain
Showin' no mercy I'll do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying, baby I'll? you dry
Skies are beneath me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

And it's coming closer

You sh-sh-shock my bones,
Leavin' me stranded all in love on my own
What do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby where do I sleep?
Feels so good when I'm home
2000 years of chasing takin' it's toll

And it's coming closer

Calooooorrrrr


Sex on Fire

Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching

All the commotion
"The kiddie-like play"
Has people talking
Talking

You
Your sex is on fire

Dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving

Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dying

You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed, with what's to transpire

Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I could just taste it
Taste it

If it's not forever
If it's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest

You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire

Consumed, with what's to transpire

And you
Your sex is on fire
Consumed, with what's to transpire

It's always me


Ricochet

All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk
"and it's okay to laugh about it"
I said, "it's okay to laugh about it"
Running twice as fast to stay in the same place
Don't catch my breath to the end of the day
And I'd rather be shot in the face
Than hear what you're going to say
One day the wind will come up
And you'll come up empty again
And who'll be laughing then?
You'll come up empty again
There's no reason, no explanation, so play the violin
It's always funny until someone gets hurt...
And then it's just hilarious!
You beat me every time you blink
If only I did not have to think
Think about you crackin' a smile
Think about you all the while
One day the wind will come up
And you'll come up empty again
And who'll be laughing then?
You'll come up empty again
There's no reason, no explanation, so play the violin
On the ricochet - it's gonna hit you
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
You can laugh at me - when it misses you
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
And then it's just hilarious!

Crow


Burn

"Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
"Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled bird mad girl... "
But every night I burn
But every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again

"Oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
"Don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
There's nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do... "
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end

"Just paint your face" the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
"Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired... "
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream

Dream the crow black dream...

Perdida por Dubrovnik


Wake up call (breaking the chain)

Lost in space, lost in time
I need the words to redefine
But i can't seem to leave it all behind
Reaching for my yesterdays
I'm reaching for the words to say
Somehow I'm surviving day by day

Sometimes I lose myself
And seem to find no one else
Wish I could only find myself

Going down, falling down
I need to be on solid ground
But everything comes crashing around
So what to do and what to say
I really need a change
It's about time that we break the chain

I'm moving back and forth
For what it's worth

Just need some room to breathe
A place where my mind can feed
Apart from what society breeds

Ever felt when life
Seems to pass you by
To this situation I deny
Instead of lose it all
Prevent to take the fall
Consider this as your wake up call

I'm moving back and forth
For what it's worth

If I ever follow your steps instead of mine
Will I ever know myself?
Did you ever follow my steps instead of yours
Then you'll really hurt yourself
What goes around comes around
What goes around comes around harder...

Thinking about it


Obsessão

Os bosques para mim são como catedrais,
Com orgãos a ulular, incutindo pavor...
E os nossos corações, - jazidas sepulcrais,
De profundis também soluçam, n'um clamor.

Odeio do oceano as iras e os tumultos,
Que retratam minh'alma! O riso singular
E o amargo do infeliz, misto de pranto e insultos,
É um riso semelhante ao do soturno mar.
Ai! como eu te amaria, ó Noite, caso tu
Pudesses alijar a luz que te constéia,
Porque eu procuro o Nada, o Tenebroso, o Nu!

Que a própria escuridão é tambem uma téia,
Onde vejo fulgir, na luz dos meus olhares.
Os entes que perdi, - espectros familiares!

Charles Baudelaire, in "As Flores do Mal"

still black


The Pretender

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense

Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story

[Chorus (x2):]
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story

[Chorus x2]

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend

[Chorus x2]

[x2]
What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all... pretend)
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

I need to be rich


Accept the Pain

Like a pill
Like a pill these dreams
Like a pill
Kill almost everything

Like a drop in the ocean
Life's a drop in the ocean
Like a pill it's all the same

Accept the pain, for all who ever tried
For all who tried

Overkill, Overkill it seems
Overkill, Feeding off all extremes
Loyalty through emotion
Cruelty kills devotion

Accept the pain, for all who ever tried
Accept the pain, as all our fears subside (our fears subside)

Like a pill
Like a pill these dreams
Like a pill
It's all the same, it's all the same

Accept the pain, for all who ever tried
Accept the pain, as spirits purify (purify)

Paradise Lost
