2econd Skin - Ups And Downs

Some loose ends that came together all at the same time. Mostly short tracks, brief and repetitive moments. It's when I began, then, trying to write and be an artist I used to be.

OS INVITO A PENSAR

Soy un hombre de los muchos
que se quejan de su suerte;
de esa “dama” y sus caprichos
que rara vez viene a verme.

Sin embargo, veo otras gentes
sin ninguna preocupación;
eso al menos me parece,
aunque, tal vez, sea una visión.

Pero hoy estando pensando
he visto al fin la realidad
y sin querer me he convencido
de que no me puedo quejar.

Hoy, amigos, os invito a pensar
y conmigo quiero que analicéis
si, a veces, no es injusto ese pesar
producido por la inconformidad.

Si la envidia os arrastra al rencor
yo os ruego que a vuestro lado miréis
para que os percatéis del error
pues tu hermano se encuentra aún peor.

Estribillo

Decidme si no es la verdad
que nos quejamos de vicio:
estemos en cualquier sitio
siempre pedimos ¡más y más!

Decidme si no es la verdad
que al ver sufrir al prójimo
sentimos que el egoísmo 
tergiversa la realidad

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

No os pido que aprendáis la lección
que en sí encierra ese tópico refrán
que habla de tontos y de consolación
pues comprendo que no es la solución.


Sólo quiero que escuchéis mi canción:
con su texto y total sinceridad
estudiéis vuestra postura y situación
y entonces ¡sacad la conclusión! 

Estribillo

I INVITE YOU TO THINK

I am one of the many men
who complain about their fate;
about that “lady” and her whims
who rarely comes to see me.

However, I see other people
without any concern;
at least that is what it seems to me,
although, perhaps, it is a vision.

But today, thinking
I have finally seen the reality
and without wanting to, I have convinced myself
that I cannot complain.

Today, friends, I invite you to think
and with me I want you to analyze
if, at times, this sorrow
produced by discontent is not unfair.

If envy drags you to resentment
I beg you to look at your side
so that you realize the error
because your brother is even worse off.

Chorus

Tell me if it is not the truth
that we complain out of vice:
wherever we are
we always ask for more and more!

Tell me if it isn't true
that when we see others suffer
we feel that selfishness
distorts reality

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

I'm not asking you to learn the lesson
that is contained in that cliché saying
that speaks of fools and consolation
because I understand that it is not the solution.

I just want you to listen to my song:
with its lyrics and total sincerity
study your position and situation
and then draw the conclusion!

Lyrics:
there's a mirror
at the end of the earth
if you look long enough
you can see the truth
there's a lesson
at the end of it all
in a message in a bottle
at the bottom of the waterfall
get it
go get it
good riddance
just kidding 
just go
god as my witness
you better get it
even though I bet my soul
that you end up missing

and it's great to be alive
live another day
take another life
I'm fading out of patience 
and the bandwidth I've been running
has been making me feel latency
change my ways bitch that's not fun
change my ways bitch I wanna die young
but I can't die young
If I don't die soon
cause I'm bout to be 30 
and they call me old dude
call me old dude cause my skin is grey
abuse this body can take
now never will I ever have to lay awake
thinkin bout the things I can never change

Given the very recent events surrounding the war between Russia and Ukraine, the upheavals brought by Trump, and the dozens of ongoing conflicts around the world - definitely not the kind of stuff that lets you sleep soundly - we came up with this song!  
We were actually supposed to release a completely different track, a parody about voice assistants at home, but obviously, the theme of war and chaos ended up taking over.  
Enjoy the listen, and if you’re an Alexa & Co. user, stay tuned - our next song will surely get a sarcastic nod of approval from you! Let’s just hope that by the time it’s out, the conflict in Ukraine will have, in some way, come to an end.
Released on major streaming platforms on February 24, 2025.

Lyrics:

All around the world’s unraveling
Searching for peace while madmen pull strings
Turning lives into pawns feeding their tanks
Filling their ranks with our lives

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Was it ever more than a fragile dream
Here on Earth down here in chaos
Caught in the gears of someone else's scheme
Feeling the weight of our lost cause

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

In the shadow of shattered dreams
We're searching for a spark of hope
Through the chaos and gears it seems
We're just too far around to cope

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Chaos and Gears
