Se Correr o Bicho Pega

I thought about running from myself,
But wherever I went, there I was.
The more I ran, the closer I got.

When the heel arrived, the big toe was already gone.
I found myself hiding,
And I found myself hidden.
I only know that when I think I know, I no longer know who I am.
I see, I will find myself
In the place where I go,
I go!

I'm thinking about taking a break from myself,
But I also want to go.
I'll only go if my shadow doesn't go,
If it goes, I'll stay here.
One of these days dreaming, I thought:
I won't wake up,
I'll let myself sleep
I get up to celebrate.

The mirror told me: There's only one way to deal with this,
There's no point in wanting to die
Because if you die, it goes with you.
If you run, the beast catches you, but if you clean up, the beast disappears.
You have to unravel the man's life's tangle.
