Yesterday Was Hard on All of Us

Where do we go from here?
 Where do we go...
 Is it real or just
 Something we think we know

Where are we going now?
 Where do we go...
 Cos' if is the same as yesterday
 And now I'm out
 Just so you know

Because, because
 Our paths - they crossed
 Yesterday was hard on all of us...
 On all of us...

Who can we trust from here?
 Who can we trust...
 Are you real or just
 Something from one to lost

Who can you trust right here, sweet flower?
 Who can you trust...
 From the cradle to the grave...
 From ashes to ashes...
 From dust to dust...

Because, because
 Our paths - they crossed
 Yesterday was hard on all of us...
 On all of us...

Where do we go from here?
 Where do we go...
 We got nothing, we can't trust nothing
 We can sell us, for sure

How do we get out?
 How do we move around when all these eyes on us
 Turn you up - you go first
 Don't most like it's kinda rehearse, babe
 It's not...

Because, because
 Our paths - they crossed
 Yesterday was hard on all of us...

On all of us...

Câte trepte?

Oare câte trepte
trebuie să mai creştem din noi,
oare câţi oameni
trebuie să se mai ghemuiască trepte
înaintea noastră,
oare câte mâini
mai trebuie împreunate în trepte
sub picioarele noastre,
oare câţi părinţi
trebuie să mai cadă în trepte bătrâne
de lemn sub ochii noştri,
oare cât suflet
mai trebuie cioplit în trepte
reci de piatră,
oare cât mai trebuie să urcăm
până la noi?

– Mihai Gavrilescu –

On the Road

When you are alone

Sitting on the pavement, hoping for a ride, dreaming away

Remember her hands

Touching the back of your neck like a breath of wind so real

Long time passing doesn't mean it's gone

That touch is still there and will never leave

As you did...

When you are alone

Walking on the wayside, asking for a ride, dreaming away

Forgetting that crap

"What will you do with your life if you won't work out your next day?"

Following the sun is not good enough

For taking your last breath with a smile on your face?

I won't spend my life confronting the real

What about living without established frontiers?

What about misty mountains in a sunset light?

What about drinking from a waterfall?

What about leaving people without telling goodbye?

We'll meet again, I'm sure

The cars still intersect, hypnotizing your memories

Those days lost forever you never forgot

Leaving all behind doesn't mean you don't miss

That child accidentally you're not anymore

What about laying on leaves and watching the stars

Preparing to fall asleep?

What about casual friends for a couple of miles?

Don't ask about the meaning anymore

Într-un semiton

"Muzica este
locul în care mă ascund
într-un semiton
de fiecare dată
când vreau să mă joc
de-a baba oarba
cu lumea
cu omul
cu mine însumi.
Muzica este
locul în care mă ascund
într-un semiton
de fiecare dată
când vreau să mă vindec
de singurătate."

– Mihai Gavrilescu –

Who You Are

I stare at my reflection in the mirror:
"Why am I doing this to myself?"
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf.
No, no, no, no, no...
 
Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
(who you are [11x])
 
Brushing my hair—do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mould, yeah!
The more I try the less it's working, yeah
'Cause everything inside me screams
No, no, no, no, no...

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!

Yes, no, egos, fake shows, like whoa!
Just go and leave me alone!
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight,
With a smile that's my home!
That's my home, no...

No, no, no, no, no...

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
Yeah yeah yeah

Sentimente

"Sentimente
canalii inocente
ce gustă din tine
Lăsând sângerând
Un suflet plăpând
Pierdut să se-aline
în locuri absente
de sentimente.

Sentimente
iluzii indecente,
siluete ascunse
ce-ţi bântuie gând,
omoară râzând,
iar când sunt atinse,
oferă tratamente,
cu sentimente.

Sentimente,
plăceri iminente,
Atingeri perfecte
Şi priviri de azur
Într-un spaţiu impur,
Cuvinte incorecte
umplând pergamente
cu sentimente.

Sentimente în suflet, sentimente în gând,
Sentimente în trupul de iubire flămând,
Sentimente: canalii, iluzii, plăceri
Sunt doar agonie şi plâns şi dureri.
Să simți e păcatul nescris, dar ştiut,
A fi om - acesta-i tributul cerut."

– Mihai Gavrilescu –

They were kids that I once knew...

Tell me everything that happened
Tell me everything you saw
They had lights, inside their eyes
They had lights, inside their eyes
Did you see the closing window
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward and my heart died
They moved forward and my heart died
Please please tell me what they looked like
Did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew

I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere

Did you touch them
Did you hold them
Did they follow you to town?
They make me feel I'm falling down
They make me feel I'm falling down

Was there one you saw too clearly
Did they seem too real to you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew

I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere
I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere

They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they're all dead hearts to you
Now they're all dead hearts to you
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they're all dead hearts to you
 

 

The Theory of Everything

Stephen Hawking: "The universe is expanding. If you reverse time, then the universe is getting smaller." 

Jane: "All right." 

Stephen Hawking: "What if I reversed the process all the way back to see what happened at the beginning of time itself?" 

Jane: "Wind back the clock."

         "One could say: "The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary." The universe would be completely self-contained and not affected by anything outside itself. It would be neither created nor destroyed. It would just BE."

    "There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope."
– Stephen Hawking –

Magic

"If we could see the world through the eyes of a child, we would see the magic in everything."

If I Could...

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would
If I could,
I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound.

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would
If I only could,
I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound.

I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would
If I could,
I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound.

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound.

Stay Awake

I am the blank page before you
I am the fine idea you crave
I live and breathe under the moon
And when you cross that bridge
I'll come find you 
 

Stay awake with me
You know I can't just let you be
Stay awake with me
Take your hand and come and find me
 

I don't have a skin like you do
To keep it all in like you do
I don't have a soul like you
The only one I have
Is the one I stole from you

Stay awake with me
You know I can't just let you be
Stay awake with me
Take your hand and come and find me
Stay awake with me
You know I can't just let you be
Stay awake with me
Take your hand and come and find me

Tabloul sufletului

Ploaie

de cuvinte,

Ploaie

pe chip,

Ploaie 

de primăvară.

Mângâie-mă,

Curmă-mi nesiguranța,

invadează-mi ființa,

acaparează-mi sufletul.

Ajută-mă să mă transpun

să evadez

să alerg

și, în cele din urmă,

să mă regăsesc.

Ploaie

de toamnă,

Ploaie

târzie,

în al meu suflet
Plouă.

Noi

Să călătorim și să dăinuim...
Noi doi,
într-o puritate continuă a ființelor noastre...

Vreodată

"... Şi voi lua din cer
Ceea ce nu mai găsesc
Prin stele,
De când rătăcesc.

Această gândire mai vreau
Din câte-am dorit -
Sau cerul e rece
La infinit..."

– George Bacovia –

4 In The Morning

Waking up to find another day

The moon got lost again last night

But now the sun has finally had its say

I guess I feel alright

But it hurts when I think

When I let it sink in

It's all over me

I'm lying here in the dark

I'm watching you sleep, it hurts a lot

And all I know is

You've got to give me everything

Nothing less cause

You know I give you all of me

I give you everything that I am

I'm handin' over everything that I've got

Cause I wanna have a really true love

Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up

Stay up till Four In The Morning and the tears are pouring

And I want to make it worth the fight

What have we been doing for all this time?

Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

All I wanted was to know I'm safe

Don't want to lose the love I've found

Remember when you said that you would change

Don't let me down

It's not fair how you are

I can't be complete, can you give me more?

And all I know is

You got to give me everything

And nothing less cause

You know I give you all of me

I give you everything that I am

I'm handin' over everything that I've got

Cause I wanna have a really true love

Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up

Stay up till Four In The Morning and the tears are pouring

And I want to make it worth the fight

What have we been doing for all this time?

Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

Oh please, you know what I need

Save all your love up for me

We can't escape the love

Give me everything that you have

And all I know is

You got to give me everything

And nothing less cause

You know I give you all of me

I give you everything that I am

I'm handin' over everything that I've got

Cause I wanna have a really true love

Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up

Stay up till Four In The Morning and the tears are pouring

And I want to make it worth the fight

What have we been doing for all this time?

Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

(Give you everything)

(Give you all of me)

Zâmbile

"Din gheaţa buzelor mele
crăpate
au început să-mi înmugurească
zambile
cu parfum de zâmbet.
Se numesc zâmbile
pentru că-mi vestesc
de fiecare dată
primăvara
adusă
de gândul la tine."

 – Mihai Gavrilescu –

Pure Love

“My love sounds good. It’s so pure you can’t even see it.
”
― Jarod Kintz –

3 Roads

“To hear never-heard sounds,
To see never-seen colors and shapes,
To try to understand the imperceptible
Power pervading the world;
To fly and find pure ethereal substances
That are not of matter
But of that invisible soul pervading reality.
To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;
To be a lantern in the darkness
Or an umbrella in a stormy day;
To feel much more than know.
To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain;
To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;
To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves;
To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets
Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching[...]”
― Dejan Stojanovic –

Sway

We sway
Grabbed her by the hips and hand
Then off we went
Across the sanded floor
She said "that's not sand, it's salt
It will get worn like we did before"

 I only wanna dance with you
Every time I try
We only get an hour or so
It's time to get personal
We've got these times of our lives
Lets take this time to let it show
these are ours.

These are ours

We sway
The moon shines down
And everybody's safe.
Christmas lights all day
And rightly so
We feel high as fuck
And everything is good
Good to go

I watch the snow fall down
Feels great to be honest
Forget about the trouble
Forget about the drama
Cause I ain't Casanova
Baby I can dance for days
This time with you
Is just amazing in so many ways

I only wanna dance with you
Every time I try
We only get an hour or so
It's time to get personal
We've got these times of our lives
Lets take this time to let it show
these are ours.

These are ours

We'll stay until we want to
That's how it use to be
We never fell apart
We stay here until we want to
Now we just sway

Come on.... Dance with me

These,
These are ours
These,
These are ours

We sway
