Irony
Anxiety against patience,
Truth facing the lie,
Snake that leads the path
Of who try to follow,
Who learns to look what's in its heart
Will know well, it can fool you too,
Pride slapped the face of humbleness
And so it stopped being so innocent.
Jumping in front of you goes the irony,
With all our miseries on top.
Players who don't pay the piper,
Masks that still don't fall,
To hide their ignorance,
Is terrible, what men can do!
A love became the ideal jail,
Is ironic to believe that this is true.
The victory was losing, the defeat was winning,
To get what you want can be the worst, the worst!
Every cloud has a silver lining,
No fortune for misfortune.
A trophy that came really bad,
A mistake that it couldn't be avoided!
On the tunnel of love we met again,
Is ironic to believe that this is true,
At the shore of pain, at the turn of peace:
We stop kidding!

Not of This World
Just how much it all turned! How much smoke it took just not to see what was of this world.
With toes always curled, when they said: 'son, you know you're simply not of this world.'
Just how much it all turned, but all is nothing apart from poetry that is of this world.
Grew up with no clear return, but the label always stuck - son, you're not of this world.
Son, you're not of this world, excess, like a pen leaking ink,
As if someone dug a crop out, or just cut off a link,
From a chain, where every one is exemplary (I piss on them!),
Every link with this world is going off tangentially.
As the cuts were stinging, I heated up the sand,
And whoever I meet now, a barrier stands,
And you're pretty much fine, but, rummaging inside you,
On goes the search for anyone a bit like you.
Where the mindless, the homeless, the shabby ones,
The smoked out Cauldfields and twitchy Durdens,
Anhedonia, and Jared Leto's omens,
We're born to amphetamine, nu-metal and Baphomet.
You're the type that can't believe the hype - we're Peter Pans,
We grow from days of foam, but we don't grow right,
Raving from a one track mind, the minibus leaves for a mini-home -
In his image, God makes man.
Chorus:
Just how much it all turned! How much smoke it took just not to see what was of this world.
With toes always curled, when they said: 'son, you know you're simply not of this world.'
Just how much it all turned, but all is nothing apart from poetry that is of this world.
Grew up with no clear return, but the label always stuck - son, you're not of this world.
Books spread opinions, doubts come from within them,
And from doubt, laziness, and from there, oblivion.
Michel Houellebecq, de Lautréamont, even Necromonicon,
Again, this world's a target for payback.
DJs, tapes and decks - all that type.
Seems you're like bad wounds, infecting all life.
Of us, the city thinks the worst, one stab and then you're burst.
The truth is like a fungus - born from fights over this curse.
Where's Aldous fucking Huxley now? Don't you like this brave new world?
Then you're just a kid - back to the creche, get out!
Surrounded by defeats, and by failures, by cursed poets and those blessed with graphomania,
The knights of subculture, defenders of glass covers, warriors of lacquer, forgotten music lovers.
It's like this world hangs over a glass fucking panel, but I can see the light at the end of your sonic tunnel.
Chorus:
Just how much it all turned! How much smoke it took just not to see what was of this world.
With toes always curled, when they said: 'son, you know you're simply not of this world.'
Just how much it all turned, but all is nothing apart from poetry that is of this world.
Grew up with no clear return, but the label always stuck - son, you're not of this world.
Just how much it all turned! How much smoke it took just not to see what was of this world.
With toes always curled, when they said: 'son, you know you're simply not of this world.'
Just how much it all turned, but all is nothing apart from poetry that is of this world.
Grew up with no clear return, but the label always stuck - son, you're not of this world.

I pay my mistake
I pay a mistake
I still love you
As much as I regret
This can't change anymore
This can't change anymore
But always all the mistakes
Always be paid
But you were like them
Where cannot be reformed
I pay a mistake
I still love you
I can't further down my life
I can't further her down
But always all the mistakes
Always be paid
But you were like them
Where cannot be reformed
I pay a mistake
I still love you
As much as I regret
This can't change anymore
This can't change anymore

I Admire don Ramón
(Don Ramón:
'What is this, what is this?
Watch it.')
This is a tribute to our boss
He was a boxer, but he never hit anything
He was no good at paying the bills
He always fourteen months behind on the rent
I admire don Ramón
Scrawny tattooed guy, the most badass
The crappy witch always harassed you
Ms. Florinda always humiliated you
Jirafales always thought you were beneath him
And loud-mouth Quico always told on you
I admire don Ramón
Scrawny tattooed guy, 'the most best'
Don Ramón's my teacher
As I toast to you, I drink this rum
Rascabuches, Peterete, and don Ramón
Will always be my source of inspiration
I shout to you so that you hear me, wherever you may be
Today I give a salute to you, great Ramón Valdés
'Take this!'

Why Are You Looking At Me
Why are you looking at me?
Don't you remember me?
I'm the one whose live you control
I'm the one who died in a refuge
The one who found sudden death one day
The one who starved
The one who drowned a night in the Aegean
Why are you looking at me with those eyes?
Am I the one who demolished your palaces?
Am I the one who comes to your bed at night
Asking for hugs and sympathy
Cause I've never had them, not even once in my life
But I was on the first page of the newspaper
Why are you looking at me?Why are you pitying me?
I'm the one who you want to forget
I was the one at Smyrna , when they were jumping on boats
In a cellar in Iran when it got demolished
I was bombarded in Syria
I became scattered ashes in Belgrade
Don't look at me
I'm sorry
No one ever asked about my opinion
No one asked if I wanted to be born
Or if I wanted to be shown on the news
I just happened to rise from the east
And set somewhere in the west
