Quarto de Hotel

I'm in a common place
Where anyone hides
To make the sentence done
And feel the side effects

I'm nowhere (where?)
Where anyone hides
To make the sentence done
Smuggling from an Eastern sect
I haven't been home much lately
I don't even remember how long it's been
I learned not to look back

I count the hours that pass
I count stars in the sky
In the solitude of dull nights
In hotel rooms

What is this city called?
How do you get attention?
Of a city that sleeps
While we, unfortunately, don’t?

Late night nonsense, whole nights
Thinking nonsense, drinking nonsense
No company, no companion
In hotel rooms

In each scene the walls change color
In the almost dark room
Light only from the television set (future rear view mirror)
With difficulty I turn off the television
The room is almost dark
Illuminated only by the letter "h"
From the word "hotel"
Neon writing

Tomorrow in a different city
There will be no difference in the air
The nights will pass the same way
The stars will be in the same place

What is this city called?
How to get attention
Of a city that dies
While we lie that we don't?

Half truths, whole nights
Drinking nonsense, thinking nonsense
Without understanding what always happens
In hotel rooms

In each scene the walls change color
In the almost dark room
Light only from the television set (future rear view mirror)
With difficulty I turn off the television
The room is almost dark
Illuminated only by the letter "h"
From the word "hotel"
Neon writing

To get attention
From someone passing by on the street
Counting the hours that pass
Counting stars
In the sky
