cem mil caminhos em todas as rotas 
pra qualquer destino uma mesma porta
disso eu já sei, deixo ir embora
sigo outra vez uma trilha torta
do fim ao revés, será que isso importa
e eu já tentei, há tantas formas

sem saber me desgarrei e isso tão sem querer

do que não tem preço, do que eu não mereço
o mundo da voltas mas nem tudo volta

vejo um motivo pra mais uma aposta 
luz no fim do túnel, ainda uma icognita
mas não cansei, só me renova saber que há uma aurora

sem saber me desgarrei e isso tão sem querer

do que não tem preço, do que eu não mereço
o mundo da voltas mas nem tudo volta

do que não tem preço, do que eu não mereço
o mundo da voltas mas nem tudo volta

desde cedo eu não nego que viver é muito mais do que penso
e o poder quase sempre acaba em excessos, desentendimento

redenção pois sufoca me alma, nem sinal se quer do meu alento
esse medo sem razão sem momento

não, não vale trocar meu amor primeiro, nem o meu lugar
por um jogo onde o erro traz me a cruz no olhar
é que eu não mereço, nem posso aceitar

quer saber eu te entendo, reagir doi mais, sereno é calar
fui fugir, bebi do veneno, mas agora só penso em alcançar
todo o tempo que um dia eu perdi, só o amor faz me levantar
todo o tempo que um dia eu perdi, só o amor faz me levantar

não, não vale trocar meu amor primeiro, nem o meu lugar
por um jogo onde o erro traz me a cruz no olhar
é que eu não mereço, nem posso aceitar

não mereço é, eu não mereço... nem posso aceitar

não, não vale trocar meu amor primeiro, nem o meu lugar
por um jogo onde o erro traz me a cruz no olhar
é que eu não mereço, nem posso aceitar

é que moça eu gosto mesmo é de você
ah não ri de mim, não faz assim
mas entendo não tem jeito, como desdizer

ah meu rapaz só você quem não quis ver
que antes de ti era o teu que eu sempre quis
ah que prazer ao descansar 
ao poder saber do teu amor
pois é meu bem agora eu hoje sei que já foi de vez 
que o teu coração eu conquistei

e as vezes quando você pensa em tentar me fazer falar
sei muito bem correr os riscos ao querer te amar
nem sempre você se contenta com meu jeito de lidar
quase sempre cada coisa encontra o seu lugar

e o seu lugar é bem aqui, 
junto a mim quer assim seja ou nem assim
tantas verdades só pra mim 
se eu já nem sei mais como te fazer feliz

já sei de cor esses dilemas, tantos temas pra não dar 
novamente em nenhum lugar

e esse é seu lugar, só seu lugar e se é seu lugar
passa a ser meu também porque o seu lugar é meu lugar
em qualquer lugar, pois só em ti eu sei me encontrar

one day i was told whatever i had done
would echo all along the whole universe
ok, now i know. why the hell still goes on
the sermon i was told, has nothing to do in fact 
with what's really done

people say so many things
and i've never really seen
coherence between their actions
and the way they choose to be
then it turns out as you see
undeniable chaos indeed
but i'm one of those who fail
but i'm always giving up on giving in

i can't any longer, long for redemption
pretending i cannot take over this life on my own
i have handed mine, in my understanding, into God's hand
so what now?! off i go

people say so many things
and i've never really seen
coherence between their actions
and the way they choose to be
then it turns out as you see
undeniable chaos indeed
but i'm one of those who fail
but i'm always giving up on giving in

chaos soon fails, keep it in your thoughts
as you inhale unconditional love
i'm growing up, not growing old internally
in every moment that i really have

people say so many things
and i've never really seen
coherence between their actions
and the way they choose to be
then it turns out as you see
undeniable chaos indeed
but i'm one of those who fail
but i'm always giving up on giving in

would you believe me i'm falling in love
i know it's true, says my heart to you

all i want is to be with you
cause i know uhat we've been through
you made everything brand new
for my heart wants only you

what if we cruised the oceans, the planet

more than amusing being together

all i want is to be with you
cause i know uhat we've been through
you made everything brand new

sometimes to fall in love, you gotta fall right from above
and falling out of love, you'll find someone for sure across the universe

falling, if you're falling, yes i'm falling too
and if you're falling, i'm falling indeed so i catch you good
but if i am the one who's falling
im falling in love with you

not that she doesn't like to talk

eu fico as ordens, fujo dessa tortura
eu conto as horas em meio a essa tontura
ninguém me vê chorar, eu peço ajuda
altos e baixos, eu busco a cura

a Deus eu oro, peço pra me levar
mas não embora e sim a um outro lugar
e eu imploro pra nunca mais reclamar
me desdobro mais até triunfar
não é fácil, tarde demais pra me entregar
longe de ontem e de amanhã pra não me enganar

abro os teus olhos pra que eu possa enxergar
porque é tão obvio, nessa altura eu só sei tropeçar
faço qualquer negócio, vou trocando de lugar
na fé, no ópio todos querem se encontrar
tanta loucura, cara brancura

eu fico as ordens e com toda bravura
reconto a minha história entre tanta rasura
ninguém me vê chorar, descubro a cura
me leva ao alto, cara doçura
conto com a sorte, alguém pra me alegrar
sigo enganando a morte, ando pensando em parar
de sempre ter que pensar
esperança sem mensura aqui dentro em algum lugar

abro os teus olhos pra que eu possa enxergar

Tropical Ambition - Monostereos - 01 Cara Brancura

Tropical Ambition was formed In 2010 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Tiago Rouede (guitar and vocals), Glauco Romano (bass) and Anton Verdoorn (drums), who are long time friends from the local music scene, are these days marching foward to the same direction: after their goals and dreams. 
The music of this power trio show diverse influences that are almost always guided through the energy of Rock'n'Roll with small portions of the plurality of alternative music, the sadness of blues, and the freedom of jazz, which are absorbed with their personal experiences in life and on the stage. During the 2 years of their existence, still in Brazilian lands, they’ve experienced their setlist in concerts and cultural events around the city, dialoging with many audiences.
As a result, in 2012, the band presented 2 different albums simultaneously which were recorded and mixed by the band,in their drummers own studio. The first album called "Monostereos has 11 tracks with lyrics in Portuguese and has a more stripped down atmosphere. The second album,"Ars long, vita brevis", (that also contains 11 tracks and is in English) reveals a sound that’s structured with new elements.
An 11 track Studio Live Session that was also recorded in Rio de Janeiro, has an additional 2 tracks and 1 cover. The cover is a version of ’Lithium’, in loving memory of Nirvana, whose album ’Nevermind’ celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2011 and has had a big influence on the band. 
Betting everything in this legendary love for music and work they've created with dedication and an enormous pleasure, Tropical Ambition, get all their things together and trip in this European Journey, to be more precise, in Berlin, Germany, to open wide new horizons in their personal and musical lives, willing to expand more and more this exchange with new audiences and culture.
