Life's Too Short

In the meantime I decide the easy way to die
I can't live it all behind
But this morning I wake up with nothing in my mind
Every day is all the same, I've nothing in my head. I've nothing in my head
Sometimes I don't no feel so good
It doesn't matter for me inside my mind
Cause life is too short and I’m so strong to feel
Life is too short and I’m so strong to feel alive
Sometimes I feel like losing myself
It doesn't matter for me inside my mind
Cause life is too short and I'm so strong to feel
Life is too short and I'm so strong to feel alive

Homesick

I wake up in a dream this morning
that I was just living on the 80's
I went out to the streets at my hometown
with my walkman playing "Michael Jackson"
(beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, hiiiiihuuhuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!)
And I felt so homesick
to see how I've grown
Cause the time that i’m living
it means nothing at all
(and you say)
It's ok, it's alright, you can't live your life in the past
It's ok, it's alright, you don't have to waste your time
I walk down to a house I remember
that it was so near to the station
You could hear any song of the 90's
in a way of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
(hello, hello, hello, how low)
And I felt so homesick
to see how I've grown
Cause the time that I'm living
it means nothing at all
(and you say)
It's ok, it's alright, you can't live your life in the past
It's ok, it's alright, you don't have to waste your time
(E.T. phone home, E.T. phone home,…)

Faces & Places

I have this face, I have this place, I have this memory in my mind
I have this face, I have this place, I have this memory all the time
It's easy if you try to understand
I'm trying to forget this time
Trying to forget
I'm trying to forget
I have this face, I have this place, I have this memory in my mind
I have this face, I have this place, I have this memory all the time
I couldn't sleep on saturday
I couldn't sleep on monday
I can't sleep now
No I can't sleep now

End Of Time
03:41
|
|

|
It is wrong to think the world could ends today.
But it's more wrong think that we will not gonna die (x3)
Cause now we're here
all alone, but we stand here
We spend the time in vain
all alone, but we stand here
We must live
till the end of time thinking
our life is so precious
And seems that no one live the life he wants to live
cause never tries (x4)
All days I see
people live unhappily
Their lives are not so special
but they don't want to change it
We must live
till the end of time thinking
our life is so precious
And seems that no one live the life he wants to live
cause never tries (x4)

Sleepy Phone Society

|
|

|
Every time I'm thinking on my own
that we are so alone
But I see the people and what they want?
They're trying to avoid
Cause they're never thinking
and they're never looking for
Cause, they're always talking
and playing with their phones
Now I think in the kind of society
in which it happens to live
I can see anyone can not be free
it doesn't matter to me
Cause I'm ever thinking
and I'm always looking for
And I don't want to talk to
I don't need anyone

"why are we all forced to go to work at the same time? who arbitrarily decided that 8:00 a.m. was a good time for everyone to go to work?"
"the stock market leapt to new heights with stone alexander's proposal to create a unified global currency. he followed his announcement, by offering to donate his latest desalinization plants to struggling nations that would need help with jumpstarting their economies.”
"as I've told you before, in a job like yours, even when it's finished, there's always one more thing to do." -
"now let me tell you something, streebeck. there are two things that clearly differentiate the human species from animals. one, we use cutlery. two, we're capable of controlling our sexual urges. now, you might be an exception, but don't drag me down into your private hell."

Poor World
04:40
|
|
||
|
I travelled far and I saw
other people who lives
without chances to decide how to be free
I saw poverty, hunger and disease
This life is never kind to everyone
This world is always tough
if you're poor I thought
But the faces of this people
were smiling through it all
And there's no way
Nothing's gonna change
This world will be the same ugly place
Then I came back to my hometown
and I saw the same angry people
I met before, when I was young
And I wonder I prefer to live
in a place without nothing to desire

Distress
03:13
|
|

There was a man who ever talked too much
He always explained his most close secrets
He tried to fight but he'd never understand
why his anguish was so hard
He had anxiety almost every day
He didn't know how to control it
His life became a torture every time
This distress made him mad
And then he found some day that all these images
won't never let him calm
And he learned how to hide these absurd feelings
that they makes him feel so small
He began to accept that all his fears
won't never affect him again no more
Because they are like all the things in life
that pass and never come back
And now became a man who walks alone
He always tries to keep his feelings
He never needs to share his live upon
someone who's not alone
Because he found some day that all these images
won't never let him calm
And he learned how to hide these absurd feelings
that they makes him feel so small
He began to accept that all his fears
won't never affect him again no more
Because they are like all the things in life
that pass and never come back more

Hopeless

I've been trying to find a reason, I've been searching in my mind
any way that I could getting out, any way to growing up
But it's hard when you've deserted all your dreams and all your hopes
and you can't wake up and settle down if there's no work in this town
And it seems, it seems that you've been crying
cause you can't stand up and try it. That is what you have to live
And you, you're feeling every moment
that your life past all around you and you don't know what to do
I've been looking for a good state, I've been fighting all the time
for a place that I can living free in a house behind the sea
But it's hard when you're still trying to break up with all your fears
and you can't wake up and think about in your possibilities
And it seems, it seems that you've been crying
cause you can't stand up and try it. That is what you have to live
And you, you're feeling every moment
that your life past all around you and you don't know what to do

I swear this time
that I'll be all my life
with you by my side
little Júlia
We were blessed our dear child
when you came to our lives
We're so good when you smile
little Júlia
If you're hungry or you're sleepy
you can cry and mom will come soon
And if you have your diaper dirty
call me I will change it again for you
I pray you'll be fine
so glad and so bright
my young girl of beauty eyes
little Júlia
If you feel some kind of sadness
don't give up your life will go on
If you worry, don't be hurry
take your time and you'll be fine again

This night I see you so quiet by my side
It's all that I need for myself just right now
Only you, by my side
Only you, by my side
I remember when we thought not to go ahead
Cause it was by far the biggest thing that happened to us
But we changed our minds at the beginning of march
Now I know we took the best decision of our life
I wish I could make you happy all the time
It's all that I want for myself just right now
Only you, by my side
Only you, by my side
There were times that I didn't want to share my life
I was feeling fine without noone in my heart
But I changed my mind at the beginning of march
Now I know I took the best decision of my life
