Entresafra

Na falta de um post novo, deixo uma das letras mais geniais que ja li, escrita pelo Andres Frieden, vocalista do In Flames (ao lado do Viper, minha banda preferida). A letra, na minha leitura, trata de como o controle que temos sobre nossa propria vida é efêmero e por mais que tenhamos a intenção de mudar o que quer que seja, seremos sempre guiados pelo Pinball Map. Seria o tal "driver" (still unknown to us) Deus, seria ele o destino ou seria simplesmente nosso subconsciente? A se pensar.

Burp!

Pinball Map

(Anders Frieden)

As I aim for that bright white day

Conflict serum is my aura

It seems that life's so fragile

I guess I'll fly some other time

I lack from superhighway thoughts

Won't live as long as the city lights

Soaked by underwater times

Electric splash on a midnight drive

Wish I could rape the day,

just something radical

Lost the sense of sweet things

Who's gonna take me widely?

Guided by the pinball map

The driver, still unknown

Who was sent to glorify?

Before we injected this common pride

Sometimes I don't belong

Release me from your world

Pacified by the small things in life

I wait for earthquakes to rearrange

Never been able to use the force

I only have it read to me

Despite all the misguided faith

(Maybe) I'll find a place in this mess

Early morning moments

A glimpse of joy

But soon it's over and I return to dust

As I try to be

Everything and everyone

I waste away
