Chasing Dreams

After the existential crisis of The Judgement, I wanted something soothing and comforting to round things off, and I could think of no better for that than Americana roots rock. The words are a mash-up from Auguries of Innocence by William Blake.

21. The World

Gone is the anger.
Gone is the fight.
Gone is your passage into the light.
Gone are the left
Gone are the right.
Gone is your wiggle room.
When things get tight.

Gone is the doctor.
Gone is your hope.
Gone is the ladder. 
Here's some rope.
Gone is the daydream.
Frittered away.
Gone is the saving up.
For rainy days.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

Gone are the holy.
Out for a drink.
Gone for a cigarette. 
Having a think.
Gone through the window.
Gone through the door.
Gone is the condemnation.
All for more.

Gone is the outrage.
Gone is the time.
Gone are the young men.
Sinking their wine.
Gone is the passion.
Blowing away.
Gone, paranoia.
Gone are the brave.
Away.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

Gone

Iluso de mí.

Ya ha pasado bastante tiempo
desde que lo nuestro acabó
hoy no quiero ni siquiera recordar
los días vividos en aquel lugar.

Tú no me querías
y, aunque lo sabía,
no sé por qué te quería;
tú me despreciabas
pero yo callaba
y aún más te amaba.

Yo, ¡que iluso que fui!
pensé que lo importante
de este mundo era amarse
pero esto no así
porque hay muchas más cosas
que todo lo condicionan
y hay que hacerlas porque sí.

Empezamos siendo amigos
sin poder profundizar
pues muy pronto tu orgullo afloró
y con él, cómo no, tu condición.

Tú te divertías
a costa mía
junto a tus amigas;
tú sé que sufrías
pues era envidia
lo que hacia mi sentías.

Yo, ¡qué iluso que fui!
envidia de mi mundo
tan diferente al tuyo
tan presente para mí
que impidió que me saliera
por unas cuantas monedas
con su ayuda te vencí.

Illusive of me.

Enough time has passed
since ours ended
today I don't even want to remember
the days lived in that place.

You didn't want me
And even though I knew it
I don't know why I wanted you
you despised me
but I was silent
and even more loved you.

I, how deluded I was!
I thought the important thing
of this world was to love each other
but this is not so
because there are many more things
that all condition
and you have to do them just because.

We started out being friends
unable to delve
because very soon your pride surfaced
and with him, of course, your condition.

You had fun
at my expense
with your friends;
you know you suffered
well it was envy
what you felt for me.

Me, how deluded I was!
envy of my world
so different from yours
so present to me
that prevented me from leaving
for a few coins
with their help I beat you.
