SILENCE

Silence

Take, take till there's nothing, nothing to turn to.
Nothing when you get through.
Won't you break, scatter pieces of all I've been.
Bowing to all I've been running to.

Where are you?
Where are you?

Did you leave me unbreakable?
Leave me frozen?
I've never felt so cold.
I thought you were silent.
And I thought you left me for the wreckage and the waste.
On an empty beach of faith.
Was it true?

Cause I, I got a question, I got a question - Where are you?

Scream, deeper I wanna scream.
I want you to hear me, I want you to find me.
Cause I, I want to believe but all I pray is wrong and all I claim is gone.

And I, I got a question, I got a question- Where are you?

Sobre a Letra:
"'Silence' é o lugar onde as perguntas aparecem. Nos espaços misteriosamente silenciosos de tempo, começamos a nos perguntar se Deus realmente existe. Deus
não tem receio de nossas dúvidas e não tivemos receio de escrever sobre a profundidade incrível que a dúvida pode atingir no meio de nossas lutas. Está é uma música que assumiu um significado ainda maior depois do 11 de Setembro."

THESE ORDINARY DAYS

These Ordinary Days

Not much for conversation
I still find need to pray
Sometimes I get tired of walking
through these ordinary days

If nothing else I get to see you,
even if we never speak
The harm of words it's sometimes we don't
quite know what they really mean

I don't know where,
I don't know how,
I don't know why
But your love can make these things better

Let me lay down in this field
and stare up at the sky
I hope the days and clouds turn into something
as they pass us by

Maybe you could settle
for a skyline faded blue
I hope that you might settle
for this love I have for you



Tradução

These Ordinary Days (Estes dias comuns)

Not much for conversation (Não tenho muito a falar)
I still find need to pray (ainda necessito orar)
sometimes I get tired of walking (às vezes me canso de caminhar)
through these ordinary days (por estes dias comuns)

If nothing else I get to see you (Se no fim das contas eu puder lhe ver)
even if we never speak (mesmo se nós nunca nos falarmos)
the harm of words is sometimes we don't (o perigo nas palavras é que às vezes)
quite know what they really mean (não sabemos exatamente o que elas significam)

I don't know where (Não sei onde)
I don't know how (não sei como)
I don't know why (não sei o porquê)
but your love can make these things better (mas seu amor pode tornar tudo melhor)

Let me lay down in this field (Permita-me deitar-me neste campo)
and stare up at the sky (e fitar o céu)
I hope the days and clouds turn into something (espero que os dias e as nuvens se transformem em algo)
as they pass us by (enquanto eles passam por nós)

and maybe you could settle (E talvez você possa estar pronto)
for a skyline faded blue (para um horizonte em tons de azul)
I hope that you might settle (espero que você um dia esteja pronto)
for this love I have for you (para este amor que sinto por você)

Your love can make these things better (Seu amor pode tornar tudo melhor)
your love can make these things better (seu amor pode tornar tudo melhor)
your love can make these things better (seu amor pode tornar tudo melhor)



Sobre a Letra:

"'These Ordinary Days' foi escrita por último no processo de composição deste cd. Foi um momento inspirado. Eu me lembro de pensar nas horas que passam, enquanto se está deitado num campo, olhando para o céu. As nuvens tomam os mais curiosos formatos. Acredito que podemos fazer o mesmo sobre os dias."

SCARLET

Scarlet

If I was your love I would want only you.
I'd lay at this alter, give all I am, all that is true.

And this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you.
There is nothing you can do.
Nothing you do.
Nothing you do.

For love I have scaled the face of these kingdom walls.
So let down your hair, let our kiss make fools of them all.

And this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you.
And there is nothing you can do.
Nothing you do.
Nothing you do.

And this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you.
And there is nothing you can do.
No there is nothing you can do.
No there is nothing you can do.
Can't do.

WHATEVER SHE WANTS

Whatever She Wants

All her wants to fill a need.
She wants to save you with her bandages after she makes you bleed.
Like a vampire, a parasite.
Stretch the neck of her victim, she finds her prey in broad daylight.
So when you're up, she's down, down she's up, it whips around.
It's the ride the way that she needs it.

Whatever she wanted for whatever you need.
Speechless and silent while she takes everything.

Kryptonite underneath;

You used to be her superman,

But now you're fading, now your weak.

Never how or why it worked to play the big lie.
To dim the truth from causing her wet eyes.

Whatever she wanted for whatever you need.
Speechless and silent while she takes everything.

Yeah, whatever she wanted for whatever you need.
Speechless and silent while she takes everything.

Yeah, whatever she wanted for whatever you need.
Speechless and silent while she takes everything.

She takes everything.
Whatever she wants.
It's everything.

Tradução

Whatever She Wants (Tudo que ela quer)

All her wants to fill a need (Tudo que ela quer, para suprir uma necessidade)
She wants to save you with her bandages (ela quer te salvar com seus curativos)
After she makes you bleed (depois de te fazer sangrar)
Like a vampire, a parasite (como um vampiro, um parasita)
Stretch the neck of her victim (prepara o pescoço de sua vítima)
She finds her prey in broad daylight (encontra sua presa em plena luz do dia)

When you're up, she's down (Quando você está por cima, ela está por baixo)
You're down, she's up, it whips around (se você está por baixo, ela está por cima, gira em círculos)
It's the ride the way that she needs it (dando voltinhas do jeito que ela gosta)

Whatever she wanted for whatever you need (Tudo que ela queria, por tudo que você precisar)
Speechless and silent while she takes everything (você fica mudo e calado, enquanto ela leva tudo)

Kryptonite underneath (Criptonita, escondida)
You used to be her Super-Man (você costumava ser seu Super-Man)
But now you're fading, now you're weak (mas agora você está perdendo seu vigor, agora você está fraco)

Never how or why (Sem comos e porquês)
It worked to play the big lie (serviu para encenar a grande farça)
To dim the truth from causing her wet eyes (embaçando a verdade que a faria chorar)

Yeah
Everything (Tudo)

Yeah, yeah

She takes everything (Ela consegue tudo)
Whatever she wants (tudo que ela quer)
It's everything (simplesmente tudo)

Sobre a Letra:

'Whatever she wants' fala de co-dependência. Como uma mulher que o tempo todo fere alguém e em seguida diz sentir muito por todas as coisas terríveis que fez e por tê-lo ferido. Ela precisa dele ao seu lado e precisa sentir que está no controle. Ele por outro lado, se encontra num estado de dependência dela (os dois de co-dependência um com o outro) e precisa saber que ela precise dele o tempo todo. Uma relação doente, precisa se curar.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Something Beautiful

If you put your arms around me, could it change the way I feel.
I guess I let myself believe that the outside might just bleed it's way in.
Maybe stir the sleeping past lying under glass.
Waiting for the kiss that breaks this awful spell.
Pull me out of this lonely cell.

Close my eyes and hold my heart.
Cover me and make me something.
Change this something normal into something beautiful.

What I get from my reflection isn't what I thought I'd see.
Give me reason to believe you'd never keep me incomplete.
Will you untie this loss of mine, it easily defines me.
Do you see it on my face.
That all I can think about is how long I've been waiting to feel you move me.

Close my eyes and hold my heart.
Cover me and make me something.
Change this something normal into something beautiful...

And I'm still fighting for the world to break these chains.
And I still pray when I look in your eyes.
You stare right back down into something beautiful.

Close my eyes and hold my heart.
Cover me and make me something.
Change this something normal into something beautiful...
