el pasado clásico

Quienes lloran por los momentos felices que se topan en la historia, se dan cuenta de lo que quieren. Albert Camus

las cosas ya no son como las ves

Charly García - Canción 2x3

No tengo nada que hacer
no tengo nada que dar
no encuentro la gracia en mi manera de hablar
no quiero volver nunca más.
Todos podemos perder, todos podemos ganar
entre las sogas del circo y las trincheras del mal
yo quiero olvidarme de hablar.
Las pálidas figuras se acercaron hasta mí.
Mi mente tuvo dudas y fingí que no las ví.
Ya no quiero vivir así
repitiendo las agonías del pasado
con los hermanos de mi niñez
es muy duro sobrevivir
aunque el tiempo ya los ha vuelto desconfiados.
Tenemos algo para decir
no es la misma canción de 2 x 3
las cosas ya no son como las ves.

Pearl Jam - Uncut Interview (New York, 1991)



This song's about hitchhiking your way through a broken heart.

Thumbing My Way

 

I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven

Counting steps,.. walking backwards on the road
I'm counting my way back to heaven

I can't be free with what's locked inside of me...
If there was a key, you took it in your hands.
There's no wrong or right,... but I'm sure there's good and bad
The questions linger overhead

No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
I wish that I could hold you... wish that I had
Thinking 'bout heaven

I let go of a rope,... thinking that's what held me back
And in time I've realized,... it's now wrapped around my neck
I can't see what's next,... from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past

All the rusted sign we ignore throughout our lives
Choosing the shiny ones instead
I turned my back,... now there's no turning back

No matter how cold the winter,.. there's a springtime ahead
I smile, but who am I kidding?
I'm just walking the miles,.. every once in a while I'll get a ride
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven

Thumbing my way back to heaven
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven...

Life is only as good as the memories we make

So long, Astoria - The Ataris
It was the first snow of the season,
I can almost see you breathing
In the middle of that empty street

Sometimes i still see myself
In that lonesome bedroom
Playing my guitar and singing songs of hope
For a better future

Life is only as good as the memories we make
And I'm taking back what belongs to me
Polaroids of classrooms unattended
These relics of rememberance
Are just like shipwrecks
Only they're gone faster than the smell after it rains

Last night when everyone was sleeping
I dreampt of my old neighborhood
And resurrected memories from ashes
We said that we would never fit in
When we were really just like them
Does rebellion ever make a difference

Life is only as good as the memories we make
And im taking back what belongs to me
Polaroids of classrooms unattended
These relics of rememberance are just like shipwrecks
Only they're gone faster than the smell after it rains

So long, astoria
I found a map to burried treasure
And even if we come home empty-handed
We'll still have our stories and battle scars
Pirate ships and wounded hearts
Broken bones and all the best of friendships
And when this hourglass has filtered out its final grain of sand
I'll raise my glass to the memories we own

This is my world
And I'm taking it back
I'm taking it all back
