Quando uma música diz mais do que consigo
A cada dia fico mais convencida do poder que a música tem em minha vida. Na vida em geral. Pra cada momento que vivo, existe uma canção - ou duas, três, quatro... - absurdamente perfeita, com uma letra que sutilmente se encaixa na minha história, minha situação. Isso às vezes me espanta, mas também emociona. Até o fato de existirem músicas pra cada momento é retratado em uma! Milton Nascimento disse "certas canções que ouço cabem tão dentro de mim que perguntar carece: "Como não fui eu que fiz?" e isso basta. Eu podia simplesmente ter colado esses versos aqui e voilà, foi-se embora a necessidade de formular frases descontínuas e sem o devido significado. E é por isso que hoje exponho o que sinto com uma dessas músicas biográficas:
Falling over backwards for you
Falling over everybody else
I put myself in that position
Everytime I have the chance
I know it's not my business, to be
Digging up these things I shouldn't know
Twenty years of bad decisions
Haven't taught me much at all
Separate events you're making
Everyone pretend it's not your fault
And all of this offense you're taking
Doesn't really bother me at all
Twist my arm 'cause that's the way you think you're gonna work this whole thing out
You know you own my body but don't think that you control my mouth
Having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?
Having every question answered
Doesn't help
When you're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
Anything
Another textbook situation
Everything I think I know I've read
What's the point of medication?
All it makes me wish that I were dead
It's pretty clear that you are me
It's written here on every single page
I'm spitting blood, not stupid
I can read it all over your face
