BITTERSWEET BEGINNINGS
Um brinde aos começos agridoces, espero que você curta o meu álbum de estreia e que entre comigo em cada mágoa e superação que eu tive que passar ao longo de um ano turbulento, e espero que você se divirta com ele o mesmo tanto que eu me diverti.
11. CARNIVAL RIDE
[VERSE 1]
You know he leaves no trace
Keeps everything mute, implicit
Acts in the dark and doesn't imply
Strikes in the shrinking, the victim's mind
At a party like this it's hard to reason
And you become the easiest prey to catch
Don't run, he takes your clothes, your money, and your honesty
Causes massacres and dances like it's a party
[CHORUS]
Come and put on the blindfold, we want you to surrender
To our carnivorous carnival, we devour your income
We take advantage and snack with your lunch money
We have no pity
Not in our carnivorous carnival
You threw the party, but I'm the one who's gonna celebrate
I dance in the mansion's ballroom and have a wife twenty years younger
Yeah, that's my size
It was you who elected me
[VERSE 2]
Everybody knows that behind this suit
There's fangs and claws and bloodlust
You alone are worth a whole gang
Act in the dark, skeptical and evil
We don't like you
You seem like a good person
Who looks for good victims
There are so many beds that hospitals become cemeteries
The problem is serious
And you act like you just want to suck up
All that our sweat has to give
The party you paid for at our expense
No tenderness, a gloomy creature
[CHORUS]
Come and put on the blindfold, we want you to surrender
To our carnivorous carnival, we devour your income
We take advantage and snack on your lunch money
We have no pity
Not in our carnivorous carnival
You threw the party, but I'm the one who's gonna celebrate
I dance in the mansion's ballroom and have a wife twenty years younger
Yeah, that's my size
You're the one who elected me
[BRIDGE]
Fees, cups, wings, noodles
So many words, they're nothing
How long will we have a suit
Drinking imported wine in his palace living room
With millions of parents becoming unemployed?
Watching their children's futures cruelly erased
Taxes, boxes, nothing to declare
Is this our place?
Was this palace of hate
To treat us utopically?
[VERSE 3]
Oh holy motherland!
Why did you flee the war?
Could it be that even you are afraid of that lip-service?
Of this festival of blood and pain
That cools love and increases resentment
Of a single man who holds in his hands
The future of an entire nation
But who lacks the beating of his heart in his chest?
Until when? Until when?
Will we submit?
Where and with whom should we run?
Is running the solution?
Or is it one more disappointment?
[CHORUS]
Come and put on the blindfold, we want you to surrender
To our carnivorous carnival, we devour your rent
We take advantage and snack with your lunch money
We have no pity
Not in our carnivorous carnival
You threw the party, but I'm the one who's gonna celebrate
I dance in the mansion's ballroom and have a wife twenty years younger
Yeah, that's my size
It was you who elected me
12. HIDE 'N SEEK
[VERSE 1]
Hiding out, wasting my day
Like it doesn't matter
Saying goodbye, but afraid to say why
Afraid it'll break our world
Show me some faith now
Trust me somehow
[CHORUS]
Why do we keep secrets?
Why do we hide?
Anyway there's no hiding
I don't want to pretend
I want to make you believe what I say
I won't let you... hide
[VERSE 2]
Where will we go?
How will we know
What we're really looking for?
Sometimes it's clear
When you're here
Nothing can break our world
I need some faith now
To trust you somehow
[CHORUS]
Why do we keep secrets?
Why do we hide?
Anyway there's no hiding
I don't want to pretend
I want to make you believe what I say
I won't let you... hide
[BRIDGE]
Maybe I, maybe I, maybe I'm losing my mind
Maybe I, maybe I, maybe I'm alright
Turn around, turn around, go in circles
Don't run, stay away, don't hide
[CHORUS]
Why do we keep secrets?
Why do we hide?
Anyway there's no hiding
I don't want to pretend
I want to make you believe what I say
What I say
Believe what I say
I won't let you hide, hide
[ENCORE]
Hiding, losing my day
Like it don't matter
13. PARADISE STREETS
[VERSE 1]
We have beautiful people in paradise
Beautiful cars, living around luxury
This precious fantasy
Seems so much more real when I'm so close to you
You, you show me the streets of paradise
[PRE-CHORUS]
Tell me where I should walk
I swear I'll obey
Show me, how to change my luck
This is the place that I deserve
[CHORUS]
Till people turn their backs on you
In the streets of paradise
When you're not the chosen few
Or the chosen of many
Sometimes it gets hot as hell, the ice burns so cold
Another day, another fight
Living in the streets of paradise
[VERSE 2]
Not all that glitters is gold
Promises and dreams grow old, that's the game
People use others
They draw you a sketch
They want your characteristics in the other
They chew you up, wear you down until you're tasteless
And spit you out
[PRE-CHORUS]
There's no sacrifice there
There's no time wasted
There's no fear and danger
Help me walk the streets of paradise
[CHORUS]
Till people turn their backs on you
In the streets of paradise
When you're not the chosen few
Or the chosen of many
Sometimes it gets hot as hell and cold as ice
Another day, another fight
Living in the streets of paradise
[BRIDGE]
Sacrifice doesn't cure the wicked
Only those who are welcome are greeted
Nothing else is implied
When you live in the land of angels
And bury yourself in the bones of office
Take your crucifix, you may need it
You never know, even in heaven you might burn
[CHORUS]
Till people turn their backs on you
In the streets of paradise
When you're not the chosen few
Or the chosen of many
Sometimes it gets hot as hell and cold as ice
Another day, another fight
Living in the streets of paradise
14. BAD REPUTATION
[VERSE 1]
I live at my limit and I can't be slow
They've done it, deprived me of feeling
Fame and fortune make me hungry
Too bad I walk with an old, old belt
Otherwise I'd have peace, even in hell
If it hadn't snapped
[CHORUS]
I've always had a bad reputation
I was always a wild sensation
I was strong, but no thanks to hair like Samson
I always had a bad reputation
I threw my ego to the forefront without hesitation
I'm looking for a love that's up to the task
To be dragged with me to my grave
In the midst of all this crowd
[VERSE 2]
Walking in a straight line, going steady without a wobble
It's endless thin line, I take no advice
Got all the answers, wanna command respect
Being a large scale sinner still has its effects
I'm winning the race of life
But I'm running it without any brakes
[CHORUS]
I've always had a bad reputation
I've always been a wild sensation
I was strong, but no thanks to hair like Samson
I've always had a bad reputation
I threw my ego to the forefront without hesitation
I'm looking for a love that's up to the task
To be dragged with me to my grave
[BRIDGE]
We both know it never changes
And it'll always stay the same
I don't see nothing different when I look from above
It's always the same system, there's always
A badboy on the scene
Who pushes the perfect girl to go out with him
Until she scorns him and leaves
And he goes too, but to the bar, even though he's underage
He fills his face and keeps his vanity that he can get all the girls, and it's not like that, no
[CHORUS]
I've always had a bad reputation
I was always a wild sensation
I was strong, but no thanks to hair like Samson
I always had a bad rep
I threw my ego to the forefront without hesitation
I'm looking for a love that's up to the task
To be dragged with me to my grave
