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.

OTRA VEZ A OLVIDAR

Me encuentro de nuevo solo
sin nadie a mi alrededor
de nuevo soy aquel otro 
el amigo del dolor;
casi no me reconozco
pues de ser dueño y señor
de tu cuerpo, de tus ojos...
he pasado a ser tu error.

La historia se ha repetido
ya por enésima vez
me encuentro otra vez sumido
en preguntas y en porqués
que atormentan mis sentidos
y me quieren convencer
que el verdugo es el cariño
disfrazado de mujer.

Estribillo

Otra vez a olvidar
otra vez a llorar
otra vez a intentar
apagar ese fuego
que encendiste en mi cuerpo
pues hoy ya eres recuerdo.

Otra vez a olvidar
otra vez a llorar
otra vez a escapar
del volcán de tu imagen
que enfurece mis mares
y zozobra mis naves.

---------------   

Confío en que la experiencia
me enseñe a diferenciar
lo que son puras quimeras
de lo que es la realidad;
he de encontrar la manera
que me ayude a capear
contra corriente y marea
este nuevo temporal.

La historia se ha repetido
ya por enésima vez
me encuentro otra vez sumido
en preguntas y en porqués
que atormentan mis sentidos
y me quieren convencer
que el verdugo es el cariño
disfrazado de mujer.

Estribillo

AGAIN TO FORGET

I find myself alone again
with no one around me
again I am that other
the friend of pain;
I hardly recognize myself
then to be owner and lord
of your body, of your eyes ...
I have become your mistake.

History has repeated
already for the umpteenth time
I find myself engulfed again
in questions and whys
that torment my senses
and they want to convince me
that the executioner is the love
disguised as a woman.

Chorus

Again to forget
again to cry
again to try
put out that fire
that you lit in my body
Well, today you are a memory.

Again to forget
again to cry
again to escape
of the volcano of your image
that rages my seas
and capsize my ships.

---------------

I trust that the experience
teach me to differentiate
what are pure chimeras
of what is reality;
I have to find the way
to help me weather
against current and tide
this new storm.

History has repeated
already for the umpteenth time
I find myself engulfed again
in questions and whys
that torment my senses
and they want to convince me
that the executioner is the love
disguised as a woman.

Chorus
