Esclavitud Contemporánea

The clock starts a new awakening
The night dreams must go away
The overwhelming routine must go on
Even though the body can't take it anymore

You feel like you want to leave, you say you want to escape
But wanting is just another verb
You live in a gray world called reality
Where dreaming is maybe someone else's thing

You want to feel free and truly escape
You wish to live the life someone else has
You think you want money but it's not true
What you're looking for is time, you want freedom

To do whatever you want, you dream of progressing
But dreams don't exist in your real world
You built a destiny based on others
Because they trampled on your ideal dream

But you can't take it anymore
You want to scream the reality to the whole world
Show it now

I dreamed I had everything and even more
I wanted to travel and conquer the world
I wanted to have the time and freedom
To create my own happiness

But they told me that my dreaming
Was impossible to achieve
So I gave up what I wanted the most
Out of fear of facing others
(Out of fear of facing others)

You're afraid to admit it, you're afraid to think
You wasted your life pleasing others
You forgot your dreams because of what someone else said
And now you see that someone doesn't live their dream

It pleases you to see that, but it also hurts you
Time is the most valuable but it won't come back
It has gone like a shadow in the darkness
You regret a past you can't fix

But still, you can't change what's left behind
Although you have the present and that you can change
Destiny is predictable by the steps you take now
No one else is responsible for what might happen

You feel like you want and can't have what you dream of
Because others' opinions matter more than your own
But what do people know about making dreams come true?
If a slave sees freedom as impossible to achieve

But you can't take it anymore
You want to scream the reality to the whole world
Show it now

I dreamed I had everything and even more
I wanted to travel and conquer the world
I wanted to have the time and freedom
To create my own happiness

But they told me that my dreaming
Was impossible to achieve
So I gave up what I wanted the most
Out of fear of facing others

You're not to blame for what happened
You wish you could turn back time and do it better
Because you didn't really make the decision
The pressure of tradition is what condemned you

In the past, slaves lived in a prison
Chains around their neck were an accessory
In the present, slaves changed their outfit
Ties replace the chains of the past

Of course, everything is better now
You have what you want in exchange for your time
Before, you were born with a master and now you choose your owner
Cells don't have bars, they're called cubicles

You don't know what you are, you think it's okay
Because the whole world is a prisoner of something unseen
May the millions of dreams of minds rest in peace
That died in the past out of fear of being different

I dreamed I had everything and even more
I wanted to travel and conquer the world
I wanted to have the time and freedom
To create my own happiness

But they told me that my dreaming
Was impossible to achieve
So I gave up what I wanted the most
Out of fear of facing others
