A magia da palavra...


Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes 
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I'm a delusion angel
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Lodged in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you
You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me?
Don't you know me by now?

Nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.



The unreal is more powerful than the real. 
Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. 
Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. 
Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. 
But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. 
If you can change the way people think. 
The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. 
You can change the way people live their lives. 
That’s the only lasting thing you can create.

from Choke, by Chuck Palahniuk -

Outro tempo começou pra mim agora!


Pra rua me levar - Ana Carolina

Então é assim:

Não vou viver como alguém que só espera um novo amor
Há outras coisas no caminho aonde eu vou
As vezes ando só, trocando passos com a solidão
Momentos que são meus e que não abro mão

Já sei olhar o rio por onde a vida passa
Sem me precipitar e nem perder a hora
Escuto no silêncio que há em mim e basta
Outro tempo começou pra mim agora

Vou deixar a rua me levar
Ver a cidade se acender
A lua vai banhar esse lugar
E eu vou lembrar você

É... mas tenho ainda muita coisa pra arrumar
Promessas que me fiz e que ainda não cumpri
Palavras me aguardam o tempo exato pra falar
Coisas minhas, talvez você nem queira ouvir

Já sei olhar o rio por onde a vida passa
Sem me precipitar e nem perder a hora
Escuto no silêncio que há em mim e basta
Outro tempo começou pra mim agora

Vou deixar a rua me levar
Ver a cidade se acender
A lua vai banhar esse lugar
E eu vou lembrar você...

I just know that...

That one knows me!

Among the men and women, the multitude,  
I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine signs,    
Acknowledging none else—not parent, wife, husband, brother, child,      
any nearer than I am;   
 Some are baffled—But that one is not—that one knows me.        
Ah, lover and perfect equal! 
I meant that you should discover me so, by my faint indirections;    
And I, when I meet you, mean to discover you by the like in you.

- Among the Multitude, by Walt Whitman -
