Open your eyes, then you’ll see.

EYES
04:31
|
|||
|
These are the eyes that can see everything, everything
Before you cut the ropes down, make sure you’ll stay here, you’ll stay here.
Baby I’ll make jewels just for you, I’ll make a crown just for you.
Close your hands and raise them to the space, feel me blue, I'll feel you blue.
I see everything,
Past, present and future,
Inside and outside,
I have eyes.
Stars are always shining,
Someday we’ll know the truth.
Out of fear, out of sin,
I have eyes.
I have eyes,
I have sinned,
Sin with me,
See with me.
I can see the world reflected in your eyes, I see myself there too.
Violent and fearless, I am trapped in this prison with you, just with you.
Baby, your bed is my favorite place, I feel safe, I feel safe.
And baby, I wanna fight the world with you, so dig my grave, dig my grave.
I see everything,
Past, present and future,
Inside and outside,
I have eyes.
Stars are always shining,
Someday we’ll know the truth.
Out of fear, out of sin,
I have eyes.
It's not a sin if God can’t see us
I have eyes,
I have sinned,
Sin with me,
See with me.
I see everything,
Past, present and future,
Inside and outside,
I have eyes.
Stars are always shining,
Someday we’ll know the truth.
Out of fear, out of sin,
I have eyes.

Power Fall (ft. Knight)

You are a machine,
Your skin is metallic,
Your eyes are cameras
And your brain don’t process.
You have your routine
You do all your things
You can’t go to sleep
You can only dream.
The computer is telling you who you are,
You’re not able to choose.
The computer is telling you what to do,
You’re not able to choose.
Is it worth to risk your life to be free?
We keep on being controlled.
Cause we are we are we are we are
A machine.
You are a worker
You live where you belong
They’ll steal your money
They’ll steal your things
You are the lamb
You cost a lot, you are nothing
You are dispensable
You are gonna die
The computer is telling you who you are,
You’re not able to choose.
The computer is telling you what to do,
You’re not able to choose.
Is it worth to risk your life to be free?
You are man, you are women.
Cause we have we have we have we have
An identity.
And if the ones with the power fall
We will have it all.
Let them die before they kill us,
Let’s scream so they can hear us.
The real power is in our hands,
We will have it all.
Let them die before they kill you,
Let’s scream so they can hear us.
The computer is telling you who you are,
You’re not able to choose.
The computer is telling you what to do,
You’re not able to choose.
Is it worth to risk your life to be free?
We keep on being controlled.
Cause we are we are we are we are
A machine.
Is it worth to risk your life to be free?
We keep on being controlled.
Cause we are we are we are we are
A machine.
What’s your identity?

How To Build A World
03:50
|
|||
|
I’m trying to build the world and it keeps slipping of my fingers
Cause to have a home you need something first.
And I need to learn how to create something small
Before I make a whole new world.
I'm a hopeless soul who wanders around this city,
Heartless cause it’s the only way to survive.
It is proved that heartbreak is the most common cause of death,
Then we will get to have another breath.
So this is the way we build a new place,
Moving on and starting over
Til it falls down again and again.
I’m trying to build the world and I keep living on the space,
The universe is my home, I’m not blessed.
I'm a careless man who floats on the universe,
Brainless to listen the heart I don’t have.
My name will be yours all the time you live here,
Someday you’ll be heartbroken.
So this is the way we build a new place,
Moving on and starting over
Til it falls down again and again.
It’s easy to play God’s game
And hard to be human for a day.
So this is the way we build a new place,
Moving on and starting over
Til it falls down again and again.
I’m trying to build the world out from the ruins of my heart,
And it looks hollow and absolutely dark.
The first brick will stand if I find me
And it’s the first step to build it.
So I don’t know how to build a new place,
I move on and start over
Til it falls down again and again.
And some day I’ll learn
How to build a brand new world.

Watch You (Act II)
01:18
|

|
I’ll watch you as you leave,
I’m standing tall
But a gasp of air
Will tear me down again.
Now you’ll watch me as I leave
It's my time now
I’m still recovering
And it will take time.

It Feels So Cold
03:32
|
|||
|
I’ve been climbing mountains,
My feet are soaring
And my hands are full of blood,
Like I’ve murdered someone.
The corpse is standing tall,
It's called like me,
And it breathes.
But I don’t feel alive.
You said you didn’t love me anymore
And now I don’t have a home,
A place where I don’t belong.
It feels so cold.
It feels so cold.
I’ve been swimming in a river
Made of my own tears.
I’ve been drowning in thoughts
And no one came to help me.
Now I’m lying in the sea,
Naked, without oxygen,
Falling to the deepest depths.
You said you didn’t love me anymore
And now I don’t have a home,
A place where I don’t belong.
It feels so cold.
It feels so cold.
And now you’re listening to my songs
You know they talk about you.
I’ts over for both of us,
Let me swim on the open sea,
And now I have my own baggage,
It’s so heavy but I am strong.
I can carry it on my own,
But it feels so cold
Let me swim on the open sea.
It feels so cold.
You said you didn’t love me anymore
And now I don’t have a home,
A place where I don’t belong.
It feels so cold.
It feels so cold.
You said you didn’t love me anymore
And now I don’t have a home,
A place where I don’t belong.
It feels so cold.
It feels so cold.

Tregua

Aquell dia va sortir la llum,
Entre els núvols i la pols podia veure.
Els guerrers marxaven tot bruts,
Cossos morts sagnaven al terra.
Puc escoltar un riure brillant al fons,
No queden nens jugant a pilota,
Només ballen al ritme del seu pols,
Paren quan l'alarma toca.
Fueron años de guerra sin motivo,
Ya no quedan hombres ni testigos.
El ruido de los tambores resuena activo,
No estaba todo perdido.
Vaig tocar un rostre amb les meves mans,
El primer cop que vaig poder respirar.
El vent balancejava als arbres fent un vals:
Era un espectacle.
Fueron años de guerra sin motivo,
Ya no quedan hombres ni testigos.
El ruido de los tambores resuena activo,
Yo ya no estaba perdido.
Abrí todas mis puertas para dejarte pasar,
Después de años había bajado la guardia.
Me conseguiste calmar.
Abrí todas mis puertas para dejarte pasar,
Borré mi nombre para tener una nueva identidad,
Me haces temblar.
Fueron años de guerra sin motivo,
Llenos de sangre, sin abrigo.
Mi silencio ya no es solo mío,
Lo comparto contigo.
Aquell dia va sortir la llum,
Entre els nuvols i la pols podia veure.
Els guerrers marxaven tots bruts,
Cossos morts sagnaven al terra.
I tu em vas salvar.

Ritual
02:59

Tonight I’m not selling my soul
And I won’t be searching for gold:
The devil already has what he wants.
Our hands can feel the weight of the world
And the beating of our hearts stop when we decide
And finally in white we’ll glow.
Show me how you touch my skin,
Softly making me feel this hot.
Take control over me
As if you were god.
Take me to the gates of heaven,
Put on our clothes made of leather,
And I’ll worship you
Like it’s a ritual.
Touch every inch of my skin like it’s a treasure,
Never stop cause it’s what we do.
And its so damn good.
And I will exhale next to your ears,
Our humid mouths will start a revolution
While I’m inside of you.
We could speak in a thousand tongues,
Idioms you cannot talk.
Making circles of salt
To purify our souls.
Show me how you touch my skin,
Softly making me feel this hot.
Take control over me
As if you were god.
Take me to the gates of heaven,
Put on our clothes made of leather,
And I’ll worship you
Like it’s a ritual.

Lay me down by the sea,
Where the sun shines bright
And the blood runs by.
Where the love comes to die
And lovers lie waiting its time,
Waiting to know who’ll be next.
Even though it may not last forever
I just need one more night by your side,
Defying gravity, light and the sea
To not waste our beautiful days.
And every kiss is a good fight
For someone who was a sinner like me.
Every kiss is a good fight
For someone who was a sinner like me.
The trees know thousand of stories;
The comedy and tragedy we call life.
They see everything and stay quiet.
Lovers made love under their leaves
And they broke up there too,
Everything will come to an end.
Even though it may not last forever
I just need one more night by your side,
Defying gravity, light and the sea
To not waste our beautiful days.
And every kiss is a good fight
For someone who was a sinner like me.
Every kiss is a good fight
For someone who was a sinner like me.
But I just need one more night,
Night after night.
I just need one more day,
day after day.
Morning after morning,
You in my bed,
My coffee on your body,
Your hands around mine.
Morning after morning,
You in my head,
Maybe you aren’t here
But I know you’ll be there.
But I just need one more night,
Night after night.
I just need one more day,
day after day.
Even though it may not last forever
I just need one more night by your side,
Defying gravity, light and the sea
To not waste our beautiful days.
And every kiss is a good fight
For someone who was a sinner like me.
Every kiss is a good fight
For someone who was a sinner like me.
But I just need one more night,
Night after night.
I just need one more day,
day after day.

Please Don't Change
03:38

I’m just stuck in the middle,
Somewhere between a lover and a friend.
And I visit all the places you used to be:
Manhattan, the small streets in El Raval.
Singing our lungs out in the car,
I felt free with the windows down.
The streets of Barcelona were our confident
When you looked at my eyes and smiled.
Our first drinks during the happy hour of that bar,
Antifascist library and the book you gave me,
Fourty minutes late and a rose in your hand.
I was there waiting thinking how much I hate you.
I feel free for the first time in my life.
I knew it wouldn’t last forever but it never mattered anyway.
I remember us through the memories of these days,
And I am, am I, who am I, after that?
I’m just stuck in the middle,
Never knew if you were a lover or a friend.
And I think about the songs you sang,
Hoping you’ll write something about me.
I could stare at you all day long,
When you said I looked beautiful,
When you kissed me that last time waiting for a train
And told me “please don’t change”.
Our last beer at a bar when I was tired:
You said you fucked up everything.
You never did anything wrong to me
So I write this to say thank you.
I feel free for the first time in my life.
I knew it wouldn’t last forever but it never mattered anyway.
I remember us through the memories of these days,
And I am, am I, who am I, after that?
And the memory stays.

Little Boy
04:03
|

|
I’m here talking to my own self,
Telling myself all the ways to leave.
Thinking about the mess I am,
I can’t even see what I should see.
Talking to strangers about weird things
Like the song that was it last year.
And I feel alone in the crowd
While I keep dancing with someone I just met.
And I can’t live without you,
Like the clouds can’t live without the wind.
So here I cheer for the sleepless nights and days,
When I was scared to be alone with you.
You lift me up,
I rise to heaven,
And I can’t be in peace
In silence.
This is a conversation with myself
It’s not a good night for both of us.
You know it's been a hell of a month,
A fucked up life to live.
If sometimes I speak my mind
I need to warn you that I may hurt you.
So once again I blame myself
For being such a mess.
And I can’t live without you,
Like the clouds can’t live without the wind.
So here I cheer for the sleepless nights and days,
When I was scared to be alone with you.
You lift me up,
I rise to heaven,
And I can’t be in peace
In silence.
Little boy,
Little me,
How are you today?
Little boy,
Little boy,
Are you sad and lonely?
Little boy,
Little me,
I am leaving today.
Little boy,
Little boy,
Will I ever see you smile?
And I can’t live without you,
Like the clouds can’t live without the wind.
So here I cheer for the sleepless nights and days,
When I was scared to be alone with you.
You lift me up,
I rise to heaven,
And I can’t be in peace
In silence.
You lift me up,
I rise to heaven,
And I can’t be in peace
In silence.
Little boy,
Little me.

I’m tired of being kind,
To give and not receive.
And darling i’m not okay,
Tt least not today.
I’m always the listener,
I will help if you need.
Also I learn to deal
Snd fix my own things.
I’m not the one to call,
Never been the funny one,
Just a heavy machine,
Automatic, made of steel.
And baby
It’s not easy to be this way,
Cry me a river when I leave
Cause the day that I die
Uou’ll beg me to stay.
And baby
It’s not easy to be this way,
But you’ll regret when I leave
Cause the day that I die
You’ll realised that I lived.
I’m always working hard
To make the best art
But only for me
Cause no one understands.
And I’ll be the help
When you need anything.
I’ll give you my bed,
Snd I’ll be freezing
And baby
It’s not easy to be this way,
Cry me a river when I leave
Cause the day that I die
Uou’ll beg me to stay.
And baby
It’s not easy to be this way,
But you’ll regret when I leave
Cause the day that I die
You’ll realised that I lived.
And baby
It’s not easy to be this way,
Cry me a river when I leave
Cause the day that I die
Uou’ll beg me to stay.
And baby
It’s not easy to be this way,
But you’ll regret when I leave
Cause the day that I die
You’ll realised that I lived.

Requiem
06:41
|

|
Dark moon,
Shining in the sky.
Flashes,
Darkening my views.
Brown eyes,
Sad boy telling the truth.
Brown hair,
Wasting his life again.
No one ever showed him
The way to be the best.
Street lights
In the midnight rain.
Vodka
Dripping down his chest.
Water
Falling from the sky.
Foreign bed,
Foreign lover, unloved too.
No one ever showed him
The way to be the best.
What if a broken heart could only be mend with another broken heart?
What if broken hearts forget they are broken too?
Bad music,
Rock and roll in his veins.
Bad boys
And bad experiences too.
A broken home,
A hell in all its forms.
The worst motherfucker you’ll ever know.
What if the boys he kissed at least knew his name?
How life would have been if he never wanted love?
No one ever showed him
The way to be the best.
We meet,
We laugh,
We kiss,
We fuck,
We fight,
And then you leave
And I'll start again.
And it's so different when you see someone without eyes made of love
And I'm broken-hearted all the time.
