Sleep to Dream

I tell you how I feel, but you don't care
I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care

I got my feet on the ground
And I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
And you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be stifled by your deviantways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around, I got my own hell toraise

I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a food
But you just run to hide, and I can't abide

I got my feet on the ground
And I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
And you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be stifled by your deviantways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around, I got my own hell toraise

Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive
We're not playing a game anymore
You don't have to be so defensive
Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face, ''cause it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim -
And don't forget the blame

I got my feet on the ground
And I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
And you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be stifled by your deviantways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

Fiona Apple - Sleep to Dream

Distant Dreams

This city
Everywhere I go
I see faces I know
All in their different zones

As we’re flying
Through this world underground
And my eyes are wide shut
I’m not hearing a sound

Time standing still
Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled
Empty places for the disenchanted
Pass and fade away

Distant dreams
Where I go
Distant dreams
When I’m low
As they echo in my head

Distant dreams
How they flow
Distant dreams
Moving slow
As I’m falling out of time
I still have distant dreams here in my mind

Faces distorted by pressure
Everyone forced together
Spilling out through the doors

No more spaces
It’s a dog-eat-dog world
And a mad free-for-all
Maybe room for one more

Time standing still
Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled
Empty places for the disenchanted
Pass and fade away

Distant dreams
Where I go
Distant dreams
When I’m low
As they echo in my head

Distant dreams
How they flow
Distant dreams
Moving slow
As I’m falling out of time
I still have distant dreams here in my mind

Distant dreams
Where I go
Distant dreams
When I’m low
As they echo – echo - in my head

Distant dreams
How they flow
Distant dreams
Moving slow
As heartbreak surrounds me
And heartache has found me

Distant dreams
Where I go
Distant dreams
When I’m low
As they echo in my head

Distant dreams
How they flow
Distant dreams
Moving slow
As I’m falling out of time
I still have distant dreams here in my mind

quote(s) of the day

Vontade de Ser

"Acordei com vontade de ser. De sair para a rua sem capas e disposta a estar. assim. simples. atenta. Fácil de sentir as linhas no espaço, os sons em todas as direcções, perceber o que o outro sente, entender para além. Um homem com os seus 70 anos à minha frente (um senhor). A testa morena repleta de rugas (linhas de expressão) Os olhos vivos, a face viva, a alma viva. Não era um velho, era um velho presente. Podia perder-me a percorrer as suas rugas calcadas na face (linhas de expressão), permiti-me entrar na história do seu corpo, nas suas histórias, na sua vida. E tornou-se óbvio o movimento ali encontrado. O sentido. Entrar adentro das histórias dos corpos, da passagem do tempo ali expressa, talvez comparar com as linhas de um bebé, de uma rapariga, captar a emoção, a história e o tempo escondidos subtilmente nos vincos que carregamos."

Maria João Soares

Here With Me

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been

Dido - Here With Me

Better People

you people saving whales,
giving your thanks to our seas
my respect to the ones in the forest,
Standing up for our old trees

Them giving food to the hungry
giving hope to the needy
giving life to a baby
giving care for free
there is freedom around us
We have everything we need
I will care for you
because you care for me
we all have opinions
Some of them get through
But there’s better people
With more good to do.

what I have could be a message
or just some words from my heart
My respect to the ones making changes
For other lives they’ll give their own

well our world it keeps spinning
round and round it goes
Human nature keeps spreading it's disease
And our children keep growing up with
what they know from what we teach
and what they see
And it’s only a question of the time we have
And the lives that our children will lead
they can only keep growing up with
what they know from what we teach
and what they see

Xavier Rudd - Better People

...algures li...

"O amor é grande e cabe nesta janela sobre o mar. O mar é grande e cabe na cama e no colchão de amar. O amor é grande e cabe no breve espaço de beijar."

Carlos Drummond de Andrade

Little Sister

Hey sister why you all alone?
I'm standing out your window
Hey little sister, can I come inside, dear?

I wanna show you all my love
I wanna be the only one
I know you like nobody ever, baby

Little sister can't you find another way
No more livin life behind a shadow

You whisper secrets in my ear
Slowly dancing cheek to cheek
It's such a sweet thing when you open up, baby
They say I'll only do you wrong
We come together cause I understand
Just who you really are, yeah, baby

Little sister can't you find another way
No more livin life behind a shadow

No Shakin'.

'Energy Song'

All alone in the snow
and nowhere seems close
the cold now moves to my bones
its beauty seems gone
and I know, know now this is wrong
and I should move on
Tired and too few time to be alone
with my own energy
rescue me..

energy..

These trees have known now for years
have contained my fears
the spirit of the earth,
I have felt now, since my birth
And I know, know now this is right
here I spend so much time
in this connection, this space
at the end of the maze
take me home

energy..

Generation inside her begins together now
I feel so connected
I feel so alive
The moon stares at the sun
The days I'm surfing between
Until the sky says its done.

All alone in the snow
and nowhere seems close
the cold moves now to my bones
its beauty seems gone
and I know, know now this is wrong
and I should move on
Tired and too few time to be alone
with my own energy
rescue me..

energy..

Veludo Rosa

Foto in olhares.aeiou.pt

Olho-te discretamente
Tentando passar despercebida.
Olho-te pelo canto do olho,
...envergonhada.

Não sei o que vês,
Não sei o que sentes,
Não sei quem és,
O que ambicionas,
O que desejas.

Estás só no presente,
Na noite.
Estás entregue ao teu mundo,
Aos teus pensamentos

Ajeitas o cabelo que te cobre a visão,
Que te cobre o rosto.

Olhas ao redor à procura
De um olhar,
De alguém,
De uma resposta
...embora sem som,
Apenas gestual.

Lábios finos e torneados
Fecham a tua voz
E abrem o teu silêncio.

Falas com o olhar
Tímido e meigo
Longínquo…

Perdes-te em ti,
Perdes-te no mundo que vês lá fora
Pela janela

Aquele mundo com que não falas,
Aquele que te faz pensar,
Vaguear pelas ruas da mente
Aquele que não te compreende.

Aquele que não te vê

E calas a tua revolta silenciosa
Com os teus lábios de veludo rosa.

Ana Raquel Joaquim (Rakiely)

Rush

Walk with me
Open your sensitive mouth
And talk to me
Hold out your delicate hands
And feel me
Couldn't make any plans
To conceal me

Open your sensitive mouth
Hold out your delicate hands
With such a sensitive mouth
I'm easy to see through
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you

Cry for you
Seen the tears
Roll down from my eyes for you
Heard my truth
Distorting to lies for you
Watched my love
Becoming a prize for you

Seen the tears in my eyes
Heard my truth turn to lies
Seen the tears in my eyes
I'm not proud of what I do
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you

I come up to meet you
Up there somewhere
When I rush to greet you
My soul is bared

Gave more for you
Dropped my crutches
And crawled on the floor for you
Went looking behind every door for you
And because of the things
That I saw for you
I spiritually grew

When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you

Depeche Mode - Rush

...às vezes não vou mesmo...

"Vem por aqui" — dizem-me alguns com os olhos doces
Estendendo-me os braços, e seguros
De que seria bom que eu os ouvisse
Quando me dizem: "vem por aqui!"
Eu olho-os com olhos lassos,
(Há, nos olhos meus, ironias e cansaços)
E cruzo os ...braços,
E nunca vou por ali...

José Régio

Azul Profundo

Foto: "Dançando com o azul" - DDiArte

Comboio arranca pelo túnel
Luzes crepitantes são o horizonte
São o que há para lá do vidro

Olhares estranhos em cada lugar
Olhares ansiosos por sair dali
Por chegar ao destino
Por chegar ao seu porto seguro

Paramos na estação seguinte
Entras pela porta
Escolhes o teu lugar
Que te transporta para o teu destino

Sentas-te de frente para mim
Pegas num papel e numa caneta
Olhas ao redor
Captas o que te rodeia
E transcreve no papel
Poisado sobre o colo

De tempos a tempos
Olhas à tua volta
Paras o olhar
E continuas a escrever

Movimento delicado
Caneta na mão esquerda
Pousada no papel
Mão que (d)escreve o teu pensamento

Respiração profunda
Calma,
Tal como o teu olhar
Azul profundo
Azul angelical

Tornas a olhar à tua volta
Os nossos olhares cruzam-se
Sorrio timidamente

Fixo-te
Não consigo deixar de te admirar
(Viras a pagina)
Não consigo deixar de reparar
Nos teus movimentos

Quero saber o que pensas
O que escreves
O que filosofas com o papel
O que lhe confessas

Olhas para o chão
Vejo que é para os meus pés.
Olhas-me nos olhos
Fujo com o olhar,
Olhando para a paisagem que passa a correr

Fico intimidada
Mas não deixo de sorrir
Fizeste-me sorrir
Abriste a janela do meu coração
Deixando entrar uma brisa e alegria

Obrigado por me fazeres sorrir

Cheguei ao meu destino
Saio pela porta,
Mas tu continuas para o teu…
Que poderia também ser o meu.

…vejo o comboio seguir viagem
Pensando quando te voltarei a ver.
Rapaz dos olhos azuis profundos.

Ana Raquel Joaquim (Rakiely)

"Amar é raro"

"Amar é dar, derramar-me num vaso que nada retém e sou um fio de cana por onde circulam ventos e marés. Amar é aspirar as forças generosas que me rodeiam, o sol e os lumes, as fontes ubérrimas que vêm do fundo e do alto, água e ar, e derramá-las no corpo irmão, no cadinho que tudo guarda e transforma para que nada se perca e haja um equilíbrio perfeito entre o mesmo e o outro que tu iluminas. Dar tudo ao outro, dar-lhe tanta verdade quanta ele possa suportar, e mais e mais; obrigar o outro a elevar-se a um grau superior de eminência, fulguração, mas não tanto que o fira ou destrua em overdose que o leve a romper o contrato — o difícil equilíbrio dos amantes! Amar é raro porque poucos somos capazes de respirar as vastas planícies com a metade do seu pulmão; e amar é raro porque poucos aceitam a presença do seu gémeo, a boca insaciável de um irmão que todos os dias o vento esculpe e destrói."

Casimiro de Brito, in 'Arte da Respiração'

I Believe

I believe in the message
I believe in the power of pray
I believe in the future
I believe in the spiritual world
I believe we can achieve it
I believe there's something wrong
I believe there's too much for few
I believe it last for too long

I believe in the power of people
I believe in destiny
I believe in evolution
I believe in what I see
I believe the human body
I believe the mind is free
I believe there's too little for many
I believe in what I see

I believe that's not the end
I believe we can speak with them
I believe in the connection of worlds
I believe in telepathy
I believe in the power of people
I believe in destiny
I believe in evolution
I believe in what I see

Ishi, ni, san, shi, go, roku, shichi, hachi

I do believe in the message
I do believe in the power of your pray
I believe in your future
I do believe in your spiritual world
I believe that we can achieve it
I believe there's something wrong
I believe there's too much for few
I believe it last for too long

Ishi, ni, san, shi, go, roku, shichi, hashi
