Do acaso de um olhar furtivo através de um vidro surge a chama incandescente capaz de iniciar o caos. Segue-se a palavra ausente que mutila a inocência e devolve a solidão.

From Pandora to Marius

“At the dawn they will take us (…) The coffin where I rest itself will take me (…) I’m messed up, lost. I cannot search for shelter, I don’t want to, I wont! (…) Help me to free myself, hold me, take me (…). Later you can judge and condemn me. I need you; I will haunt the neighborhoods (…) ‘till you arrive (…). I’m a slave to that blood drinker’s will.I love you. “

(Anne Rice)

The dream within the dream

"Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
Oh God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
Oh God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?"


(Edgar Allan Poe)

Coffee?

“Não deve ser nada difícil deixar o coração transformar-se definitivamente numa pedra. Partir para uma realidade distante, em que aquilo que nos tocava e comovia nos parece de repente apenas uma árvore sem folhas, um poema sem nexo (…). Como se parássemos fora do nosso corpo, depois de cuidadosamente termos engavetado a nossa alma (…). Sem comoção na voz nem tremor nas mãos, os olhos muito abertos, esquecidos de pestanejar. Esquecidos da possibilidade de os fechar, para não ver. Encerrados nesta existência paralela, é como se desligássemos os circuitos da emoção (…). Gelados por dentro, funcionamos por fora, é o que interessa. E ficaríamos assim para sempre, se um dia alguém não nos esperasse num café de uma qualquer esquina, pronto para nos ouvir (…) se a vida não nos obrigasse ma confrontar o verdadeiro sofrimento, numa cara muito amada, perdida entre lençóis brancos (…). E o coração de pedra desfaz-se em lágrimas quentes que correm pela cara abaixo. Dói, mas estamos vivos. Dói, mas fomos salvos (…).”

Tears to shed

"MAGGOT

What does that whispy little brat have that you don't have double?

BLACK WIDOW

She can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile

CORPSE BRIDE

How about a pulse?

MAGGOT

Overrated by a mile

BLACK WIDOW

Overbearing

MAGGOT

Overblown

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW

If he only knew the you that we know

BLACK WIDOW

And that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring

MAGGOT

And she doesn't play piano

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW

Or dance

MAGGOT

Or sing

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW

No she doesn't compare

CORPSE BRIDE

But she still breathes air

BLACK WIDOW

Who cares?

MAGGOT

Unimportant

BLACK WIDOW

Overrated

MAGGOT

Overblown

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW

If only he could see How special you can be

If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE

If I touch a burning candle I can't feel the pain

If you cut me with a knife it's still the same

And I know her heart is beating

And I know that I am dead

Yet the pain here that I feel

Try and tell me it's not real

For it seems that I still have a tear to shed

MAGGOT

The sure redeeming feature

From that little creature

Is that she's alive

BLACK WIDOW

Overrated

MAGGOT

Overblown

BLACK WIDOW

Everybody know that's just a temporary state

Which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate

MAGGOT

Who cares?

BLACK WIDOW

Unimportant

MAGGOT

Overrated

BLACK WIDOW

Overblown

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW

If only he could see

How special you can be

If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE

If I touch a burning candle I can't feel no pain

In the ice or in the sun it's all the same

Yet I feel my heart is acheing

Though it doesn't beat it's breaking

And the pain here that I feel

Try and tell me it's not real

I know that I am dead

Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed."

Dead end

"(...) Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show.

Never wanted it to be so cold.

Just didn't drink enough to say you love me.

Don't want to let it lay me down this time.

Drown my will to fly.

Here in the darkness I know myself.

Can't break free until I let it go.

Let me go.

Darling, I forgive you after all

Anything is better than to be alone.

And in the end I guess I had to fall.

Always find my place among the ashes.

I can't hold on to me,

Wonder what's wrong with me.

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.

Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...

Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.

Oh, but God, I want to let it go."

"(...) I can't see your star.
I can't see your star.
How can the darkness feel so wrong?

And I'm alone now,
Me and all I stood for.
We're wandering now.
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out.
So far away.

It's growing colder without your love.
Why can't you feel me calling your name?
Can't break the silence,
It's breaking me.


All my fears turn to rage.(...)"

Falling

As it comes and as it goes, meaningless, it keeps on tuning around and around when the Death is the only possible end.
Thought, you insist to wake up every afternoon hoping this can turn a different night…
But then it arrives, and the falling angels appear suddenly at your feats reminding you your true nature, screaming that they are waiting for you, warning you that you can’t escape ‘cause you’re one of them.
On the dark, silent night you start wondering, you start remembering the forgotten past…
A thousand promises made in no moon nights turned a thousand vows broken two minutes later. Luxuriant hellos all meaning disguised goodbyes. Dreams built up on moments turned into your present nightmares. Hopes lost in your childhood… lost words… faked smiles… cold embraces…
And between life and death, the falling angels keep on waiting next to you, stucked in this ridiculous parade from which you can’t run away neither accept…
So tell me… why can’t you fall?

Da eternidade

"Eterno, é tudo aquilo que dura uma fração de segundo, mas com tamanha intensidade que se petrifica e nenhuma força jamais o resgata"

A rapariga vodu

"É feita de retalhos,
tem pele de algodão
e muitos alfinetes coloridos
saídos do coração.


Tem um magnífico par
de olhos em espiral
por si utilizados
para hipnotizar namorados.


Tem muitos zombies diferentes
de que nunca se cansa.
Até tem um zombie
oriundo de França.


Mas sabe que não pode vencer
a sua terrível maldição,
pois se alguém se aproxima dela
perfura-lhe o coração."

Keeping...

"Pedras no caminho?...
Guardo-as todas!...
Um dia vou construir um castelo."

Memory

There's Heaven and there's Hell...

and between...

there's the Doors.

"Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why wont you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

Now, I'm gonna love you, till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I (...)"

( 'Bigado Belinha... por não te esqueceres...)

When...

"Quando não tinha nada eu quis
Quando tudo era ausência esperei
Quando tive frio tremi
Quando tive coragem liguei

Quando chegou carta abri
Quando ouvi Prince dancei
Quando o olho brilhou, entendi
Quando criei asas, voei (...)"
