You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude, but I
Would just stand and stare.
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightening bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance.
A foxtrot above my head,
A sock-hop beneath my bed,
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread.
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.
(When I fall asleep.)
Leave my door open just a crack.
(Please take me away from here.)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac.
(Please take me away from here.)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here.)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies.
I'm weird, cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell.
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few,
And I keep them in a jar.
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.
(When I fall asleep.)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
Siempre me gustó mucho esa relación obscena entre la música y el amor. Es tan fuerte ese lazo que hay veces que me cuesta diferenciarlos. El ritmo, las BPM, el estremecimiento, los climas y clímax, las armonías y las disonancias. También la comida -la alimentación- puede asemejarse en adjetivos, pero las recetas son aburridas. A romper con eso me vengo con este tema Must get out de los desaparecidos Maroon 5 que habla tan bellamente de (otra relación fuerte entre) las chicas y las ciudades, de la persistencia, de lo divertido y lo angustiante. Hay una versión en vivo que el cantante cuenta antes de empezar a tocarlo que era un tema que ni siquiera iba a estar en el disco, pero que a la gente le gustaba tanto (asumo a todas las chicas a las que enamoró con él) que nunca lo dejaron de tocar, y que con el tiempo se convirtió en uno de los temas que más le gusta tocar.
I’ve been the needle and the thread
Weaving figure eights and circles round your head
I try to laugh but cry instead
Patiently wait to hear the words you’ve never said
Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction
Making use of all this time
Keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry
I’m lifting you up
I’m letting you down
I’m dancing til dawn
I’m fooling around
I’m not giving up
I’m making your love
This city’s made us crazy and we must get out
This not goodbye she said
It is just time for me to rest my head
She does not walk she runs instead
Down these jagged streets and into my bed
Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction
Making use of all this time
Keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry
I’m lifting you up
I’m letting you down
I’m dancing til dawn
I’m fooling around
I’m not giving up
I’m making your love
This city’s made us crazy and we must get out
There’s only so much I can do for you
After all of the things you put me through
En el filme Hombre mirando al sudeste (sino lo viste, posta, qué estás esperando) hay una escena en la que el supuesto alienígena-sociólogo-científico le brinda su abrigo a otro internado del manicomio, a un igual, al prójimo. Cuando el psiquiatra le pregunta por qué había actuado así, si él no comparte los sentimientos humanos, el extraterrestre le explica que si hay alguien con una necesidad que él puede cubrir, ¿por qué no hacerlo? Trata la ayuda, literalmente, como un reflejo racional. Los Incubus dicen exactamente lo mismo en Warning, y le agregan unos condimentos que quedan bárbaros.
Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly.
Count your blessings. Seduce a stranger.
What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness. (yeah)
Over and over and over and over and ooh...
She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning:
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"
I suggest we learn to love
ourselves before it's made illegal.
When will we learn? (When will we learn?)
When will we change? (When will we change?)
Just in time to see it all come down.
Those left standing will make millions
writing books on the way it should have been.
When she woke in the morning,
she knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning (warning):
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"
Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi,
we are like frogs oblivious
to the water starting to boil.
No one flinches. We all float face down.
She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by...
pass you by..."
