La Esquina del Mundo

Reasons to Smile

Raised to think that alone we will fall, that we need something bigger than us. Yes, it’s true, we all sometime need some help. But dependency is their only concern. Yeah. Slowly we all accept what we refused to be. It’s much easier to exist that way without feeling weak. But weakness has taken over that strength and rage that made us scream. How I wish I wouldn’t have to be aware of this, of all the wrongs that black out our rights. That assures us death instead of preserving life. ¿Have I committed thought crime?. When our ideals become a luxury, that we have to pay with a higher price. Risk all just for your thoughts. Fear and doubts have filled my deepest dreams. The only one that can stop us is ourselves, everything else is imaginary barriers. We’ll break them down and fill them up, with conscient decisions. My ideas are bulletproof, and they won’t silence me (x2). Can’t silence us. A voice that’s shut will shout louder, because the message remains in the ears and eyes of generations to come. That won’t give into irrational guidelines and sadistic ways.

Can't Silence Ideas

A veces siento que el ciclo aún no termina, cuando se interrumpe y comienza otra vez (x2)
Tomé, tomo y tomaré el primer paso, los trescientos sesenta y cinco días del año. Mi barco sin hundirse sigue navegando y mi madre sigue siendo la única mujer que guía mis pasos. Mi realidad no cambia al igual que mí alrededor. Al igual que las personas que no son del montón. Las palabras respaldadas con acciones nunca pierden su valor, sin importar las veces que sean dichas o el motivo que guie su razón. Si me oyes reciclando palabras es porque creo en lo que digo, en lo que pienso, en lo que siento, en mi forma de expresión. Hasta nuevo aviso me despido, rimando versos de nuestros logros en esta canción.

Reciclando Palabras

The sun sets like everyday
Since this day it won’t be the same
Now don’t worry this won’t cloud my way
This battleship now holds my name

And as you look for someone to blame
You’ll find yourself being the same
All those thoughts will be in vain 
This battleship now holds my name

And as you try, and ask yourself, why?
Your bombs won’t get to me
They make no damage, they make no harm
A solid structure is in front of me

And I sail in the open sea
The open sea of possibilities 
No turning back, forward is all I see
Embark upon my life’s journey.  

This ship will never sink
This is our battleship

Battleship

Looked down, beat up and strung around
Are at the top of the list of anyone
Who has fallen victim of ignorant minds

But you are mislead my friend
And this story I have to tell
Let’s rewind our history
And you will find men like these

Flows through his veins
Flows through her veins
Flows through your veins
Flows through my veins
Flows through our veins

Fear flows through his veins
But he won’t be, he won’t be put to shame
This man now shakes in the ground he stands
Under pressure, no one seems to understand

Once he stood up, he put everything to and end
Years of misery, and all their false pretends
Sooner or later, they thought that he would bent
But oh Surprise! , we call this inner strength!

This time you won’t be defenseless
Actions speak louder than words that are senseless
