É tempo de viver

Em tempo de viver, queixamo-nos

em tempo de ouvir, falamos

quando tentamos falar, calamo-nos

e quando cai o silêncio, nele ficamos.

Em tempo de amar, não amamos

Detestamos e arrependemo-nos

Num novo tempo de amar, já é tarde demais,

Em tempo de viver, não vivemos, não amamos, morremos...

É tempo de viver!

Late

you're too late...

"There's a story about the greek gods. There were bored so they invented human beings, but they were still bored so they invented love. Then, they weren't bored any longer, so they decided to try love for themselves and, finally, they invented laughter so they could stand it."

in Feast of Love (2007)

Broken Strings

[Although I'm a general disbeliever of 21st century pop music, these lyrics make me shiver inside... it'd be too cliché to say they hit home... but I might as well use those words as my own.]

Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything

When I love you
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking
It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that aint real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before

Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too late

Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that aint real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that aint real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
Oh and I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last change to feel again
