Julgo que a culpa é do Quase.Por não ser totalmente.Porque há muito em mim que é Quase.As coisas guardadas no limbo viscoso entre recordação e realidade, as mágoas de outros tempos Quase ultrapassadas e o facto de Quase não chorar pelas lágrimas que chorei quando ainda a mágoa não tinha Quase passado.Os recomeços em que se deixam para trás promessas incumpridas e votos quebrados e Quase se acredita numa nova primeira vez.A química avassaladora das sensações antigas, a vontade, a água na boca e o tornarmo-nos depois tão Quase imunes ao seu apelo.As coisas de que Quase não me lembro.Momentos, rostos, sabores, palavras.Trocas.
A verdade é que as coisas que passam permanecem.Falo em cicatrizes da alma, em marcas do coração.Falo das coisas que ficam.Do rasto.Do resto.Das moinhas.Falo dos lugares.Dos fantasmas que vencemos toda a vida e que a mesma vida inteira nos assustam.Dos desejos satisfeitos mas nunca saciados.Das respostas eternamente incompletas por muito que façamos a pergunta.Ou que deixemos de a fazer.
o meu Quase é a minha cansativa persistência.
... está na hora de esperar bem.
Transport, motorways and tramlines,
starting and then stopping,
taking off and landing,
the emptiest of feelings,
disappointed people, clinging on to bottles,
and when it comes it's so, so, disappointing.
Let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.
Shell smashed, juices flowing
wings twitch, legs are going,
don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel.
One day, I'm gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless
hysterical and
let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.
Let down,
Let down,
Let down.
You know, you know where you are with,
you know where you are with,
floor collapsing, falling, bouncing back
and one day, I'm gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction, [You know where you are,]
hysterical and useless [you know where you are,]
hysterical and [you know where you are,]
let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.
é a minha vez de colar...
espero que gostes
