RIP SPRAYNARD

I'm feeling stagnant,
I'm spreading myself thin,
My reaction to everything around me changing.
Bury myself inside my bed and inside my mind,
and I'll be lucky if I make it out alive.

I turned to an old friend to see what he thought of the thoughts I've been thinking lately,
His words put my nerves in the dirt, with an urgency in his voice, he said,
"With the blink of an eye we'll be waiting to die in a retirement home in Florida,
Let's get out of bed even when we don't wanna."

Like gravity we keep on pulling ourselves down,
and we're waiting for something better when we can just lift it back up ourselves.
Let's take in every ounce of daylight, stay up every second of night time,
The only thing we'll regret's not knowing what regret feels like.

I'm gonna walk to a place that is not my home
I'm gonna skateboard 'till I've broken every bone
I'm gonna say "Yes" when you say "No"
And when I'm dead it'll read on my tombstone:
"Life is something to laugh about"

Like gravity we keep on pulling ourselves down
and we're waiting for something better when we can just lift it back up ourselves
Let's take in every ounce of daylight, let's stay up every second of night time
The only thing we'll regret's not knowing what regret feels like.

Se muere una de las pocas bandas que me ha mantenido a flote últimamente, muchas gracias por la música entregada, sobre todo por la letra de esta canción, prometo cumplirla.

 

Un banquete para tiestes

Juro que seré capaz de ver, romper, las paredes ajadas, los llantos de mis hijos. Voy a recordarlos para siempre. Destrozaré las persianas que ahora cubren ese sol que coludió su muerte. Y voy a colgarme su rostro al corazón. Llorar, dices que es algo que hacen las mujeres y no los hombres como tú. ¿Entonces qué hacer cuando son mis propios hijos los que pagan el castigo en este campo de batalla repleto de mistagogos falsos? Y la cena está servida, no hagamos esperar a las visitas. Tiestes, sé que esto es un acto cruel, pero para mí es reparación porque a nadie le ha importado cuando el que sangra he sido yo, así que trágate a tus hijos porque en los humanos no se puede ya confiar. Ni entre hermanos ni entre amantes. Buenos días, tanto tiempo. Hablemos del clima y de otras cosas que no importan, si al final (al final) estamos todos fingiendo cariño. El salón es nuestro campo de batalla, somos solo dos personas que ahora luchan en distintos bandos. Ni tan hermanos ni tan amantes. Dime que no es cierto. Miénteme. Lentamente y con dulzura, miente. Dime que no es cierto. Y dime que no es verdad. Miénteme. Porque en este banquete nos hemos comido a nuestros hijos

good luck - sleep with no bad dreams

So near asleep I hear your breath: the root of living in your chest. It is the fact that you are here. It is the proof that you are here. What’s done should just be done. Don’t talk just use our lungs. The brains that your dad said you had, you lost them. Terrified of our potential, and all the ways we might fail to meet it. ‘Round here we are all the same, we want sleep with no bad dreams in our own bed with heat from somebody who won’t keep me awake. The simplest act is still the one that we’ll remember when we’re done. The last thing I hope I forget, when everything else starts to slip, is sleeping over your parents’ bedroom. We’d turned 18 not long ago. The open window had made it so cold. For me you shut it, then came back to bed. ‘Round here we are all the same, we want sleep with no bad dreams in our own bed with heat from somebody who won’t keep me awake. So nothing risked is nothing gained. It’s the surest way to stay safe. Afraid to spell out the ways that we think we could help each other. So lay next to me tonight. Though I may not be satisfied I will stay by your side and be company ‘til the morning light.

 Hace tiempo no me enamoraba así de una letra, de una canción, de una banda, es como si cada palabra me llenara el corazón, como si cada acorde fuera tocado con las vísceras.

before i fall to pieces

Años sin escucharla y que tema tan cierto.

being real not being mean

Algo único

Pocas cosas me van a hacer tan feliz en mi vida (y esto simplemente lo sé) como las veces que mi mama me despertó, cuando estaba en el colegio, para decirme: "mucha lluvia, suspendieron las clases" o "no vayas mejor a pasar frio". Extraño ser niño muy a menudo ultimamente.

Everchanging

In the face
Of change
That's when she turned to me and said
"I'm not sure anymore"

And there
Amidst the waves and the cloudless skies
That blanket the year before
I watch my life wash ashore

Have you ever been a part of something
That you thought would never end?
And then, of course it did
Have you ever felt the weight inside you
Pulling away inside your skin?
And then something had to give

Now the lines are drawn
Is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this have come and gone
And now that is all this is
With the reasons clear
We'll spend another year
Without direction, full of fear
And now things will be different

There's nothing simple when it comes to you and I
Always something in this everchanging life
And there probably always will
Now that time is getting harder to come by,
The same arguments are always on our mind
{We've} killed this slowly fading light

Now the lines are drawn
Is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this have come and gone
And now that is all this is
With the reasons clear
We'll spend another year
Without direction, full of fear
But now things will be different

And now something
Has kept me here too long
And you can't leave me
If I'm already gone

Well now something (hey) 
Has kept me here too long 
And you can't leave me (hey) 
If I'm already gone

Now let's say that something (hey) 
Has kept me here too long 
And you can't leave me (hey) 
If I'm already gone

And we make the same mistakes
We're always hanging on
Break the promises we're always leaning on
All this time spent waking up
{Now I} keep this line open to get this call from you
{As you} speak the words that keep me coming back to you
Now this time it's all different

Now something
Has kept me here too long
And now I'm gone
