The Door

I don't want to be living
the loop that people willingly chase
to the end to the grave
I'm looking for the door.
The door
This world is loud and I'm making up a new one,
now hold on -
No quiero que te muevas mas patras,
vamos pa'lante.
Vamonos al sol, vamonos a la playa,
let us go to space, let us go somewhere.
The coincidence from which we came from
swings back and forth in each dimension
reminding us that we are asleep
y como el sol que gira sin stop
no pierde la luz ni su posición
no necesito exageración
Cuz I don't want to be living
the loop that people willingly chase
to the end to the grave I'm looking for the door
y bailalo porque es bello,
y cantaselo al cielo y veras que la gente saldrá
por la puerta
The door

Vivid Dreams

In the beginning you never looked straight at me,
you never thought for a minute that this could be
something, out of nothing.
Now it's been four years and I'm on my own,
paying bills working hard and you're on the phone
just chasing me as you're telling me..
You said "lately my dreams are becoming vivid and I just can't stop them, they're showing me playing with you"...
Two dummies going nowhere, no money that can stop them I know they will burn…
I feel it going on,
feel it going
feel it coming,
feel my life again, feel it..
The moonlight strikes
your gaze to mine
I'm not gonna be the one to save you
for another night,
forget the past and move a little closer
isn't it sweet when you just can't think of anything
but you start to fall…
Falling from the sky
I'm looking down
from the dream.
Falling from the sky
I'm waking up,
From the dream
Cuz I feel it going on, feel it going, feel it coming, feel my life again feel it...

What I Am

The echo of a gun put me in a bitter sleep, opened up my eyes to the sound of a big blue sea,
I played poker with a thief on an empty castle,
Ran from the mob to protect my daughter
poisoned the son of an angry wizard,
landed on the moon but still feel the emptiness...
But some say I'm an idiot to be searching for what is meaningful,
and others say take the easy way you can stand by me you can fake your way,
So what's next, so who's next...
Some have called me soul, the same tell me I'm not real,
others consciousness and I don't know how I feel,
What will I come up with next?
Some say I'm delusional to be fighting for what I really want,
But I'm just looking for the hippest newest point of view,
So what's next, so who's next,
But I am awake and I am in flames, Don't need a map drawn by the masses
Will I go to hell, well I can't tell, don't need a threat just need a reason x2
I'm super lost now,
No more pretending,
I'm super lost now, with all the doubt that I won't hide
No more pretending cuz I am awake and I am in flames,
I wish I could believe in the common fairy tale
Where everyone's like me and everything is fair,
cuz survival runs me down but it isn't the end,
I'd rather start again and forget it all!!

Girl on the Screen

Hey!
Buy this dream,
the younger girl sings from the screen
as her girl at home admires,
Director yells "Cut!"
Turns to her says "Sorry but interns still don't get paid
and the budget won't allow it"
But she knows!
Lighting, make up won't save you from the mirror's eye
Cuz money and all the fame, it's only an image, a girl on the screen
Mother's now old,
daughter's now grown
but she learned her lesson from the last generation
Her chameleon mind
can change any time, redefine and find work for the right price as her mother once advised her.
She said!
Lighting, make up won't save you from the mirror's eye
Cuz money and all the fame, it's only an image, a girl on the screen
