...Of Romeo And Juliet

Was it so hard to accept that they had a heart?
Was it so hard to accept that he loved her
as much as she loved him?

"Can't you kill my enemies?", he asked
"Your enemy runs through my veins...", she said

So what can you do
when your enemy is your very blood?
Chained to her balcony, a breath-taking kiss
And a deadly goodbye, to seal his fate

Forced to hide the swelling of his heart
The sparkle in her eyes fading to black

"Oh, we will never be together...", he said
"One day, one day we'll be together!" she said

So what can you do
when your enemy is your very blood?
Chained to her balcony, a breath-taking kiss
And a deadly goodbye, to seal his fate

What had he done before?
Did hi deserve his heart broken?
So close, yet so fucking far!
She would never kiss her lips again...

Then them both would die
Run to a place where no one's been
To live their fantasy, live and never die
(Together!)

So what can you do
when your enemy is your very blood?
Chained to her balcony, a breath-taking kiss
And a deadly goodbye, to seal his fate

To seal his fate
Taken apart
Left do die
All alone...

Una canción para mi proyecto personal, con música inspirada en The Devil Wears Prada (alguien quiere la música? :D). Una letra inspirada en mi situación personal, tomando elementos de Romeo y Julieta de William Shakespeare (el cual acabo de leer xD). No hay mucho que decir...

Everytime

Everytime/Simple Plan

It was 3am when you woke me up
Then we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go
Just to get away

We talked about our lives
Until the sun came up
And now I'm thinking about
How I wish I could go back
Just for one more day
One more day with you...

Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
You left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need: one more day with you

When the car broke down
We just kept walking along
Until we hit this town
There was nothing there at all
But that was all okay
We spent all our money on stupid things
But if I looked back now, I'd probably give it all away
Just for one more day
One more day with you

Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
You left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need: one more day with you

Now I'm sitting here, like we used to do
I think about my life and how now there's nothing I won't do
Just for one more day
One more day with you

Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
You left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need: one more day with you

You walked away
Just one more day
It's all I need, just one more day with you

----------------------------
----------------------------

Habla por sí misma... Sé que me equivoque, sé que mis errores no los pudo haber cometido cualquiera. Pero si tuviera la oportunidad, regresaría el tiempo y no los cometería de nuevo, simplemente por un día más contigo...

Best Of Me

Sum 41/Best Of Me

It's so hard to say that I'm sorry
I'll make everything alright
All these things that I've done
What have I become, and where'd I go wrong?
I don't mean to hurt just to put you first
I won't tell you lies
I will stand accused
With my hand on my heart
I'm just trying to say

I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

I know that I can't take back all of the mistakes
But I will try
Although it's not easy
I know you believe me
'Cause I would not lie
Don't believe their lies
Told from jealous eyes
They don't understand
I won't break your heart
I won't bring you down
But I will have to say

I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

--------------------------------

Yeah you would have the best of me...

¿Qué tan difícil es tener que dejar ir a esa persona? ¿Qué tan fácil es? ¿Hacia donde corro una vez que me dí cuenta que ya no soy yo, sino alguien más? ¿El nombre de quién grito? Solo sé de un nombre, es por el que lloro y por el que despierto sudando cada noche... Por alguna razón desconocida el destino me obligó a separarme de tí...

Y creo que no me quedan más palabras...

We Sleep Forever - Aiden

She walks the line into her deathbed rings
I say she's all alone
Begging for forgiveness
I won't teach her to lie or make a plan
That clairvoyant stare and grin
God won't forgive me for this, I know

And tragedy unfolds tonight
So sever my skin apart and close your eyes, love

Oh, call the angels, this razorblade was meant for me
Oh, call the angels, we'll mutilate insanity

She cut the blade although it's much too dull
I say she's all alone
Fighting for redemption
I know a little pain, a little lust
I lose myself at night to feel the rush of tearing my skin apart
So take this sadness and close your eyes, love

Oh, call the angels, this razorblade was meant for me
Oh, call the angels, we'll mutilate insanity

Go deeper, I feel it
I see your ghost appear
Go deeper, I feel it
I feel your ghost appear
I will say goodbye tonight, we'll sleep forever
Hold on, hold on tonight love,
We'll sleep forever
Hold on, hold on tonight love,
Close your eyes

Oh, call the angels, this razorblade was meant for me
Oh, call the angels, we'll mutilate insanity

"Él la amaba demasiado. No soportaba que la gente la viera, que los hombres la desearan. Ella era tan increíblemente hermosa, que él la quería sólo para él. Así que un día le sacó los ojos, tan hermosos, para que ella no viera quien la deseaba. Pero aún sin ojos, ella era hermosa. La gente aún la veía, asi que le cortó las piernas, para que no pudiera caminar por ahí, y que la gente la deseara. Pero aún sin piernas, ella era hermosa. La gente todavía la deseaba, asi que él le cortó los brazos, para que no pudiera tocar nada, y él pudiera tocarla siempre. Y aún sin brazos, piernas, y ojos, ella era hermosa. Y la gente la veía aún. Así que le cortó todo el cabello, y lo guardó para él, para que su olor siempre fuera sólo para él. Y aún sin cabello, sin piernas, sin brazos, y sin ojos, ella era hermosa. Un día, cuando él regresaba a casa, no la encontró por ningún lado. ¿Cómo podía ser, si no tenía ojos para ver, piernas para caminar? Sucedió que fue secuestrada por un coleccionista de rarezas que rondaba por el lugar..."

¿Qué tan dispuestos estamos para quedarnos junto a esa persona toda la eternidad? ¿Qué tan lejos vamos a llegar? La canción nos habla acerca del amor después de la muerte, acerca de dormir al lado de esa persona para siempre. ¿Será algo que Dios no perdonará? ¿Asesinar a tu amor, y luego morir para estar siempre juntos? "Esta mirada y sonrisa de clarividente... Dios no me perdonará por esto, lo sé. Así que corta mi piel, y cierra los ojos, amor". ¿Es un crimen buscar el amor en la eternidad? ¿O tendremos que buscar la eternidad en el amor? ¿Estaremos, como dice la canción, condenados a buscar el perdón y la redención por toda la eternidad, simplemente por un crimen de amor?

Cloak

I was ducked under some dense bushes. The forest was dark and foggy, but I thought I'd heard footsteps in front of me. I walked behind the bushes as softly as I could, but I could still hear the cloaked figure's breathing. Sudden cold fell into my chest. Suddenly I could count my heartbeats, hear my every breath, and feel as dark red liquid ran through my body, working hard to keep me warm. The fog grew deeper as I followed the cloaked one deeper into the forest. Sometimes it seemed to hear me, and then turned around and kept on with its path. Why did I feel that urge to follow it around? I knew it was dangerous, I knew there were risks, mortal risks, but I still didn't care. The cloaked figure had me fascinated ever since I had seen it from the first day.
But still I couldn't figure out where it was going. Sometimes it turned around and seemed to stare at me; its red glaring was the only thing I could see beneath its cloak. But it would turn away wordlessly and glide away from me as soon as I wanted to approach. What was that?
The creature kept on gliding through the forest as I followed. Suddenly, the fog grew so dense that the creature seemed to have merged with it. Again, I had lost it. Again, I would have to wait for its signs, or my dreams, to reveal its location to me again.

Bring Back The Dead

He could hear it. Or was it maybe the wind? He stood up. He had been sitting against that gravestone for days, maybe weeks. He thought he'd heard it, the sound that had made his nightmares come to life every night since he was there, at that graveyard. Then came the visions, the expectation. What would happen when it became real? Would he fall, as he had dreamt before? Or would he remain there, silent, vigilant, as he was supposed to be?
He couldn't stand the falseness of his actions. Or were his thoughts the false ones? No, he thought. He had been dreaming about it for months, so much he wished it would become real at any moment. But it wouldn't. He had made his mistakes. The gravestone now lying behind his back proved it. And the necklace he was holding tight in his hand. He knew what the symbol meant, he just wished the dead had known it too.
Oh, how different his life would be if the dead had known it too...

But now there he lies, bloodstained, against the gravestone. He looked at the collar and whispered:

"Bring back the dead..."

The gravestone against his back suddenly moved. Was this real? Or was it another nightmare?

Worries

I knew my worries were nothing to be ignored. There was something fishy, as there always has been. The evidence just keeps sliding away from my hands, but one day, I'll catch it. And I'll be prepared for it. I knew I was right this time.
Yet, I knew I didn't want to be right. I never want to. And I know I always am. What's wrong with me? Uncover it up, already!!
I have made use of my own means. And I would come it to be.

...and so it came to be. I was right.

The Crimson

I feel it welling up inside!
And Robert Smith lied
Boys do cry and with blood tears in my eyes
I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life

I can't hide the monster anymore
One can only feel desolate for so long
Until one starts to change
Into something the mirror doesn't recognize
Metamorphasize
The darkness has been biding its time

To claim its latest victim
Fresh meat for carnal desires
To become what I became
I viewed the sun for the last time

Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victim's blood?
So crimson and red
I feel it flowing from your lips
My heart is dead and so are you

And it pulses through
The desire to change
To deconstruct all of my past failing

But where to begin?
Because when you live in sin
It's hard to look at saints
Without them reflecting your jet black auras back on you

And all I have is hope
My inner burn's not fading
I'll wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day

Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victim's blood?
So crimson and red
I feel it flowing from your lips
My heart is dead and so are you

And all I have is hope
And all I need is time
To bury in pine under six feet of time
The lies I told me about myself
Claw my way out
Pick the splinters from under my fingernails
I won't lose hope
I won't give in...

Just live and breathe
Try not to die again
I'll try not to die again

Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victim's blood?
So crimson and red
I feel it flowing from your lips
My heart is dead and so are you

Esta canción de Atreyu es buenísima, no deja de impresionarme su letra. Habla, claramente, acerca de un vampiro que no quiere vivir la maldición que se le ha impuesto. ¿Podrá su amada vivir a su lado conociendo su naturaleza? ¿Podrá, como dice la canción, besarlo de la misma forma cuando pruebe la sangre de sus víctimas?
El vampiro no puede negar su naturaleza. Es ésa la maldición con la que debe cargar a través de su inmortalidad: el devorar a todos aquellos que alguna vez fueron de su misma especie. Está condenado a ver el tiempo pasar sin acabarse, a mirarse al espejo y no mirar a nadie, a alejarse de la gente solo por el simple hecho de querer agotar a esa especial persona de cada gota de su sangre. Sin embargo, a mi parecer, la peor parte de su maldición, es el tener que condenar a otros a la misma suerte. Y aún así, ¿habrá quien esté decidido a mirar el tiempo desde fuera de él?¿Habrá quien esté decidido a dejar su mortalidad, a vender su alma, sólo por vivir toda la eternidad?

Home alone

I was home alone. And so I felt. Home alone... What's this stupid fear you're wearing? Fear to nothing... Back to the old days, you ask? There's no reason to. So what's all these gray clouds around you? I ask again, what's with this stupid fear you're wearing? I wish I knew sometimes. 'Cause yeah, I don't always know what's with me. Especially in these types of emotions. Now what?

Fuck, I don't even know what to write... I don't want to listen to music, I don't want to read that sick, masochistic novel; I don't feel like writing a song or playing guitar... What do I feel like? Maybe smoking a cigarette would ease up all of this weariness... But I made a promise... So now, what's left for me? What the fuck is going on inside me?

M.I.A. (Missing In Action) - Avenged Sevenfold

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun would never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight, on tonight.

Stand up and fight.
Now fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong.
I walk your land but don't belong, two million soldiers can't be wrong.

It's no fun but I've been here before
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war.
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)

Some are scared others killing for fun, I shot a mother right in front of her son.
(Take this from my consciousness, and please erase my dreams)

Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to god that our side is right.
Even though we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears, grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories wont let you cry, unless I don't return tonight.

So many soldiers on the other side, I take their lives so they can't take mine.
(Scared to make it out alive now murder's all I know.)

Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here. I have my weapons so there's nothing to fear.
(Another day, another life, but nothing real to show for)

Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to god that our side is right.
Even though we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears, grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories wont let you cry, unless I don't return tonight.

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun would never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight.

Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive.
Stranger's blood on my hands, I've shot all I can
There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me
No thought of me, no thought of me

Walk the city lonely
Memories that haunt are passing by
A murderer walks your street tonight
Forgive me for my crimes; don't forget that I was so young
Fought so scared in the name of God and country

¿Qué sera de los soldados que han visto la muerte, han hablado con ella, e incluso la han burlado una o varias veces? Aquellos que han asesinado a padres, a hijos, a inocentes y culpables, a amigos y enemigos, todo en nombre de una causa que no conocen y en nombre de alguna nación que no sabrá recompensar todo el sufrimiento que pasan en los días en guerra. Esta canción, brillantemente, relata lo que piensa un soldado. "Mirando la carnicería, rezando porque nunca más salga el sol..."; "Lucha por honor, lucha por tu vida, y réza a Dios que nuestro lado sea el correcto[...]".
¿Qué sera de las madres, de las amadas, de aquellos que no regresaron? "Aunque hayamos ganado aún puedo perder, hasta no regresar a casa contigo..."; "Veo a nuestras madres llenas de lágrimas; crecieron tan rápido, ¿a dónde se fueron todos esos años? Los recuerdos aún no las dejaran llorar, a menos que no regrese esta noche".
Pero lo peor, creo yo, es salir vivo de la contienda. "Tengo miedo a salir vivo de aquí, ahora el asesinato es todo lo que conozco". La última estrofa lo relata perfectamente: "Camino por la ciudad a solas, recuerdos que me acechan caminan junto a mí, un asesino camina por las calles esta noche. Perdónenme por mís crímenes, no olviden que era tan joven, y luchaba tan asustado, en nombre de Dios y de mi país..."
Creo que la guerra es simplemente la forma en que la gente poderosa se deshace de aquella que no lo es tanto, utilizando a gente más débil que ellos. Creo que la guerra no lleva a ningún lado, y causa más daños que beneficios. Creo que, en caso de quedar atascado en medio de una, tendríamos más suerte recibiendo una bala enemiga, que quitándole la vida a más gente que simplemente tiene los mismo ideales que uno mismo.

Autoretrato del ciego

El día que la última estrella se apagó, yo nací.
Rodeado de oscuridad...
Saber que soy, pero no estoy;
Que siento, pero no veo...
Me dicen que toco el hielo, pero me quema;
Que estoy dentro del mar, pero me siento tan seco...
Me dicen que el viento sopla en mi cara, que una luz brilla en mis ojos...
Pero no hay aire, no respiro, no hay agua, no hay luz...
No hay nada...

A veces no sé si mis ojos viven o mueren; si estoy viendo luz negra o simplemente oscuridad...
Puedo hablar, puedo sentir, puedo oler... pero no veo esa luz en mis ojos....
Y aunque no sé si duermo, sigo atrapado en el sueño del que tanto huyo...

Oigo acerca de los colores:
verdes, azules y rojos...
El color del cielo, del mar y las montañas;
El imperceptible color del viento al enojarse;
El color oscuro de las tormentas, de los ciclones...

Pero aún con estas maravillas que sólo veo con los ojos de la mente,
sigo atrapado en el sueño del que tanto huyo...
Y parezco dormir despierto para siempre

There's No Sympathy For The Dead - Escape The Fate

Oh my god!
I have the remedy for love.
I struck the glass, it broke the bones inside my fist
But I'm okay.

I cannot change you,
You'll never change
I never would expect to break this in the end.

Something so profound,
something you won't expect.
Take this scripture like a picture
and wear it around your neck.

The sky, it opens up,
don't get swallowed by the flames.
What's mine is yours,
and yours is mine so take me away.

You hear the sounds, they carry out:
There's no sympathy for the dead.
It swells and I was never the same.
There's no sympathy for the dead.
We dance like zombies do in the middle of the rain!

We see the stones
falling from the sky
On fire
The blinding light
beaming from your eyes
Our desire
Life has died, yet we're still alive
and down below a sea of damned
crashing like a tidal wave...

I cannot change you.
You'll never change,
I never would expect to break this in the end.

I can't breathe, wake up from this nightmare that I'm in.
Dive into a holy river, and wash away my sins.
As I reached, sanctified, the surface of the water now,
I will breathe and burn out my eyes.

You hear the sounds, they carry out:
There's no sympathy for the dead.
It swells and I was never the same.
There's no sympathy for the dead.
We dance like zombies do in the middle of the rain!

We see the stones
falling from the sky
On fire
The blinding light
beaming from your eyes
Our desire
Life has died, yet we're still alive
and down below a sea of damned
crashing like a tidal wave...

So take the medicines
to quench the pain we have
and walk until the end
until you've reached the sand.

A hundred thousand wings
soaring through the sky
at intense speeds we can't catch with our eyes.
You hear the sounds
of a third carried out
Just wait...
You'll hesitate.

I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss.
I struck the glass, it shatters bones in my fist.

You'll hesitate. There's no sympathy for the dead...

All Night Dance Parties In The Underground Palace - Alesana

Beautiful you know you leave me breathless when you fall into my eyes
My heart belongs to you my angel
There is just no reason for you to let life bring you down
Please come with me and let me show you

I know that at times it may be hard to let go of yourself
Baby girl tonight leave your cares behind
Because it's time to celebrate
All night long I'll sing and dance with you, my sweet princess
Only if you trust in this...
Take my hand and follow me
I will sweep you off of your feet
All night long I will sing and dance with you

Everytime I look at you I can't believe how magical you are
The stars belong to you my angel
Run away with me into a world where time seems to not exist
The smile on my face will show you

I know that at times it may be hard to let go of yourself
Baby girl tonight leave your cares behind
Because it's time to celebrate
All night long I'll sing and dance with you, my sweet princess
Only if you trust in this...
Take my hand and follow me
I will sweep you off of your feet
This night will only end when we stop dancing

My sweet princess
I will sing and dance with you
(All night long)
The stars, they belong, to you my angel

All night long I'll sing and dance with you, my sweet princess
Only if you trust in this...
Take my hand and follow me
I will sweep you off of your feet
This night will only end when we stop dancing!

Songs and Memories

Last night, he was listening to a song. And suddenly, some familiar notes reached his ear. They triggered his memories, that went off his mind and started to float around the room. He could see them as clearly as he never thought he would. He felt he could even remember that scent... 'That song', he thought. He left his thought unfinished. Sometimes, it is better to leave them like that.

He couldn't help wondering what had happened. Why that magic, that kept his flame burning on and on, was still there. Why he couldn't share it with her again. Maybe they were only two distant lovers. Maybe, for as much as they wished to, they were not meant to be together. It was a thought that crippled the very core of his soul. And so he came to his conclussion...

He missed her. He missed her terribly. Although sometimes it seemed alright, he knew there was going to come a time when he would need her more than any time ever, and when that time came, she was going to be nowhere to be found. 'Cause that's their fate, it's their destiny, their curse.

Now that love seemed forbidden to him. He couldn't think about it anymore. He couldn't give in to his impulses. That had brought him down time and time before, and he certainly wasn't to fall again.
He limited himself to keep thinking about her, taking the memories back, enjoying of the few magic that was left, and blaming himself for the situation he had rushed into. Why, why couldn't he be more patient? Maybe if he had waited a little longer, he could've broken the curse that had tormented them both for so much time...

Now there's nothing left for him to do. He just has to sit and suffer his mistakes, loving her secretly from the distance...
