Beauty In The Breakdown

0 voices

Could I be losing my mind for small frames of time? Sure... I guess I deal with it.

Why is that I keep on wondering so much?
Who is that other person from one time to the other... who just fades after a moment that doesn't seem fake at all..?
If they could read my lines, both could turn into one
If I would erase the empty spaces, she wouldn't appear so often

Change to feel
Think to know
Feel to Speak

Words that come along, get together and laugh at me for I just am too weak to make them real.
And it is just a moment, just a click, just a sigh.. which separates me from that colorless lady who likes to lay on clouds...

If it's right or if it's wrong... here she comes along
have her lock herself for a while, and then I could know
For him she's there... and he would not let her go
But what he doesn't know is that she runs, she knows, she comes...

I push a key and days begin again
songs are sang, kids are loved
but her special retarded friend will be reminded for her special little secret
all she can't really say...

*she lost it*

Lyrics by Chan Marshall

Pick us up we’re all by ourselves
The great big howling is about to begin
A thousand miles after from where it all begins

Old world, the whole world is

Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit)
the backhand to a touch is moving on again
Going on and on

What’s next?
I’m out of time
Losing my touch I can't feel
Speak for me; do you see the same signs?
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All in all, it's all or none, all for one.
What you want?

Pick us out of a line up
Stranded and strange just as innocent as kids
The found are leaving and they're trying to forget.
The old world, the whole world is

Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit)
a backhand to the touch is moving on again
Going on and on

What’s next?
I’m out of time.
Losing my touch I can't feel
Speak for me; do you see the same signs?
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All in all, it's all or none, all for one.
What you want?

Going on and on

That Emotion

1 voices


Two weeks ago someone asked about my emotion tattoo, and as always, I gave the same explanation I give all the time: it’s related to music and what makes me feel.


But this particular person wanted to know more than that, so I had to go deeper with the meaning of it, something I don’t think I never really did before; since I knew exactly what I was. So then, I knew: feelings and sensations are connected in my head and it shows easily with some things more than with others, for me it’s with music. Whenever I listen to certain melodies and lyrics I connect myself to a feeling, memory, person, situation, moment, thought… and the power of that connection is such that makes me fall in love with music every single day.



I spent these two weeks thinking about it, and going over all the music I have in my storage, remembering connections and feelings: that emotion I carry. It has such a big impact that for a while there were songs I just couldn’t listen to… but with time, I’ve learnt to make peace with them. Music takes me right where some things got created and it’s hard sometimes not to feel powerless… Specially when in my life there have been emotional characters, coming and going bringing those tunes.


I saw your words today and not only made me smile, but also reminded me what this unique bond means. Imagine… you defining emotion for yourself. Nothing could have been more perfect to make my day. So, thanks for that.


This time, no lyrics… but two new songs from those old performers (they remain):


Alanis – Underneath




Coldplay – Lovers In Japan
