modern tales of youth.

Eu era jovem, barulhento e arrogante.

Que época incrível foi aquela.

Exile outside main street

Most of the times I miss my family
Then my friends
The real ones
Then memories of the past
Places where I used to go
Things that I used to do.
This is part of who I am
And I will carry it with me
Until I become the next person to be.
Think someday
I will have these same feelings
About what I'm living today.
Hope I never
Lose it away.

A gente cruza uma linha muito tênue entre o sucesso e o fracasso. O problema é que os meus dois pés estão do lado do fracasso.

in the midst of the night

in the midst of the night
I close my eyes
and I can feel your presence.

I know you were gone so long ago
I know there might be something above us
but I just can't help to shove
my own mind with
absent thoughts.

I wonder about what we could have been
If life wasn't so funny
so strange and
so mean.

"just keep on running", they say
just keep on doing
whatever you're doing
they beg

and I try
oh, god knows I try
with all my strenght and all my power
with all my soul and all my heart
but I can help myself from thinking
where have you been?
and what's beyond there?

Then we pray for the ancient gods
but we don't even believe in them.
we're just trying to find hope
in the loneliness of the night.

A poesia é o último refúgio dos desesperados.

Beated

Jack Kerouac perdido e alcoólatra pelas ruas baixas de São Francisco
Neal Cassady dirigindo um ônibus sem direção ou sentido
Burroughs em Marrocos, fumando ópio
Ginsberg protestando em Nova York
A best generation perdurou
E pouco depois
Acabou.

Foi incrível
Enquanto durou.

You better watch yourself
you better stay away from him
Cause he's going to self destruct himself
And everything around him
He's a mess
He just cant win.

Life is all about getting stoned every now and then, dont get arrested and find some spare love everytime you can. If you have a great soundtrack it will be even better. Everything else is just everything else.

So I've met so many wonderful people, and I've had an uncountable number of good times. I've cried several times as well, and I got drunk almost every week, as I've been doing for some years now; and I've listened to some of my favorite songs and records over and over again, and I fell in love once or twice, and I've seen some of my heroes on stage and some of then going away from this dimension; and jesus christ, isn't it what we're looking for?

Oh, cause I believe it is, and I hope I can make it better next year, whatever that means; and I believe we can all keep going with the things we believe and trying to do our best in this strange journey they had put us in. Be safe, get drunk, enjoy your family and friends. At the end this is what really matters.
