Hoje trauteei mentalmente esta

Não sou propriamente fã da Nelly, mas esta música tem uma letra que me faz pensar... Ashes to ashes/Dust to dust (sem ser no sentido bíblico da coisa), mas começo a pensar que todos os ciclos bons eventualmente acabam... E depois vem um ciclo menos bom e depois um melhor, ou não necessariamente, mas começo a pensar que andamos todos às voltas e não chegamos a lugar nenhum. Se calhar é esse o objectivo, não chegar nem sair, apenas ficar como se está, Asche zu asche und Staub zu Staub ;)

Honestly what will become of me

don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?


Travelling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
so that they could die.

Heroes and Saints

Passa na rádio a toda a hora... É um tema daqueles que se não existisse numa novela, provavelmente seria difícil de encontrar. Parece tão perfeito, o conjunto da melodia, do poema e da voz de quem o canta. Faz-nos pensar que eventually everything will be allright even when it does not appear to be so. Sossega e acalma o tornado que nos envolve e revolve e revolta...

Turn the lights down
Rest your case
Leave me lonely, sugar
This honeymoon is alright
State your rights lightly
Leave your wicked minds outside
Time has come, to rest these tired eyes
Forever on, these sacred given vows will sit around by me
They're stronger than anything, than anything

Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid, we'll get ourselves burned!
Heroes and saints, better stand by our side now
By our side

Reason says -
Please don't break,
Fortune is the way it swings
Surely we'll get by.
Treason lives, and whenever I preach
Deep within, these promises fade.
For lullaby song on these nights of ours
Place our bets in here
To be stronger than anything
Than anything

Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid, we'll get ourselves burned!
Heroes and saints, better stand by our side now

Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid, we'll get ourselves burned!
Heroes and saints stand by our side now

Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid, we'll get ourselves burned!
Heroes and saints stand by our side now
On these lonely nights of ours
