Espero Que Comprendas

Yeah, what you see is what there is
I never had mentors, nor guides
I made myself, as best I could
Ah!
That's why I hope you understand
We are born, we die; we die, we are born
I know everything we have is ephemeral
Everything we fear
We take the oars, we go out to sea to sail
Despite the tides and thunder
Not so good, not so bad; I wasn't a hero or a complainer
Just another weird face screaming in this Guernica
A painting of gray lives imitating each other
Without knowing that they are tamed in the shadows
Things get complicated if a salary is something extraordinary
If breathing today, has to be done before a notary
The wise no longer speak, they hid in their cave
The fools puff out their chests, thinking they've invented the wheel
And whoever can, let them save themselves
I hope you understand that maybe
This letter I'm starting will catch fire
It may not, I may be the one to get out of the hole
Understand, I have to get myself out first
I prefer to go to the amusement park of my emotions
Ferris wheels of peace, slides of betrayals
I know sometimes my passion is my dungeon
That's why I look for traces in kisses, those that don't fade
Understand that tears don't warn
And I don't know if to cry and live, or die of laughter
That haste kills magic with a 'what does it matter'
That I didn't invite nostalgia to my party, but it's always there
I hope you understand
(The microphone looks at me and only says to be authentic)
(I was wandering and repeat offender, but always aware)
I hope you understand
(Must be that I see circuits where others see mazes)
(I write with fire)
(I watch the passage from the times)
Understand that I don't know solid ground to go to
That I always find some excuse to lie to myself
That dying is an option
But no! life is beautiful, albeit stubborn
That's why I want those who don't make promises close to me
I hope you understand that I give myself fully when I love
Although I know how to be more autumn than summer
That there are parts of me, that I don't go through out of fear
That there are too many screams here, too many deaf
And I'm extra, while I absorb life and don't choke
I hope you understand that I endure
When the crying in my eyes is tragicomic
When my impatient spirit runs a red light
Understand that if I jump, it's because I feel like it
That I'm one of those who always fall asleep at dawn
That thirteen usually brings me luck, and I like it that way
That only I know and control the demon in me
That I don't want to surround myself with people who admire me
I want those who tell me to wake up when I forget
Those who never ask, but always give
Those who come and go, but never say goodbye
I hope you understand
That there are weeks when I abandon myself
But I only see the light if I forgive myself
That if my plans fail
There will always be a beach and a moment
That each leaf is a time machine
I hope you understand
(The microphone looks at me and only says to be authentic)
(I was wandering and repeat offender, but always aware)
I hope you understand
(Must be that I see circuits where others see mazes)
(I'm not a genius, it was a joke, but I am a magician)
Understand that I leave my soul in my songs
That I live without having to give explanations to anyone
That the seasons change, but not my gestures
That these texts are the way to unite my fragments
Understand, that being better than others doesn't matter to me
That I have many knots to tie, but the rope is short
That aborting missions is never a mistake
That maybe where I get bored is in my comfort zone
Understand, that I think out loud, that I dream quietly
That success stresses me out, and failure relaxes me
That my advantage is not using effects or retouches
It's this calm smile for whoever provokes me
Understand that I'm not one of those 'at all costs'
Tomorrow is another day, but only this one matters
Aware of my idiocy for wanting to be at the same time
Tranquility and madness, nonsense and lucidity
