Gnosis


Forgive me,
For I did not know.
'Cause I was just a boy
And you were so much more

Than any god could ever plan,
More than a woman or a man.
And now I understand how much I took from you:
That, when everything starts breaking down,
You take the pieces off the ground
And show this wicked town
something beautiful and new.

You think that Luck
Has left you there.
But maybe there's nothing
up in the sky but air.

And there's no mystical design,
No cosmic lover preassigned.
There's nothing you can find
that can not be found.
'Cause with all the changes
you've been through
It seems the stranger's always you.
Alone again in some new
Wicked little town.

So when you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town.
Oh it's a wicked, little town.
Goodbye, wicked little town.

Verbo y fin

The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on.

Hacíamos el amor con el girar de un vinilo porque así nos sentíamos más sabios. Fumábamos bajo los árboles y las nubes, con el olor del salitre ondeando en nuestro pelo. Devorábamos cada pensamiento del otro, cada uno de ellos.

Y después, ¿qué? Mil monedas que rugieron, despeñándose, para terminar desperdigadas entre la ponzoña. Mil ojos que derramaron una lágrima de sangre. Mil árboles que no sonaron al derrumbarse, porque ya no estábamos allí para escucharlo. No sé qué me queda ya hoy. Los conejos de las nubes de desvanecieron en mil gotas torpes y fueron mil los acordes que jamás sonaron de nuevo. Mil pasos. Y de nuevo hacia atrás, porque cada camino de baldosas amarillas entorpece mi andar. Mil grietas en la niebla. Nada, en realidad.

Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once


You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Show me a promised land and i will go anywhere
And if you ask me to take my time i'll wait for years
I'll hold on though the whole world tells me i'm wrong
Someday, someday
But it seems so long

Ask me to prove my love and i will do anything
So if they turn off the light of the sun why should i care
I'll hold on thought the whole world tells me i'm wrong
Then in the morning as you leave me
You touch my hand to show how much you care
But just when i need you
You won't be there

I'll hold on but i need a shoulder to lean on
Why if you love me must you leave me
Why are you going anywhere
Why must our love be something in the air
Cause just when i need you
You won't be there
You won't be there

Chemicals

I smacked your face you fell in love
When I said fuck your mom
I looked at you said it's all over.
I turned around and walked away
And you just grabbed my arm
I looked at you
Said I can't stay sober.

Come eat some chemicals with me
Come eat some chemicals
Come eat some chemicals with me
Come eat some chemicals

Madness, feeling scared
Looking around and nobody there
When I say fuck the world
Let's get ready to rock
As I piss on your face
While you suck on my cock

Madness, no one cared
Looking around and nobody there
When I say fuck the world
Let's get ready to rock
As I piss on your face
While you suck on my cock

Oh maybe baby won't you rape me
Won't you fantasize
About the time when we were lovers
I try to phone you try to warn you
But no compromise
I grabbed your ass under the cover

Come eat some chemicals with me
Come eat some chemicals
Come eat some chemicals with me
Come eat some chemicals

Madness, feeling scared
Looking around and nobody there
When I say fuck the world
Let's get ready to rock
As I piss on your face
While you suck on my cock

Madness, feeling no one cared
Looking around and nobody there
When I say fuck the world
Let's get ready to rock
As I piss on your face
While you suck on my cock

Shaman Blues

There will never be
Another one like you
There will never be
Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh

Will you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember
We were together, anyway, all right

And if you have a certain evenin'
You could lend to me
I'd give it all right back to you
A how it has to be with you
I know your moves and your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind

Will you stop and think and wonder?
Just what you'll see
Out on the train yard
Nursin' penitentiary
It's gone, I cry out long

Go head, brother

Did you stop it to consider?
How it will feel
Cold, grinded grizzly bear jaws
Hot on your heels

Do you often stop and whisper?
It's Saturday's shore
The whole world's a savior
Who could ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever
Ask for more?

Do you remember?
Will you stop?
Will you stop?
The pain

And there will never be
Another one like you
There will never be
Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh

Will you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember
We were together, anyway, all right

How you must of think and wondered
How I must feel
Out on the meadows
While you run the field
I'm alone for you
And I cry

The sweat, look at it
Optical promise
Heh, heh, heh
You'll be dead and in hell
Before I'm born
Sure thing
Brides maid
The only solution
Isn't it amazing?

Eclipse

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
Everyone you meet
All that you slight
Everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
There is no dark side of the moon really.
Matter of fact it's all dark.

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you?

We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

About a personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
It's always hot, you know, but frustration and heartache is what you've got
I'm trying to talk about personality

And you're a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon
Change on into the wolfman, howling at the moon

Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done,
Hey Bobby baby? kept me from the cold.

One day up near Salinas,I let him slip away,
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah,
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

Ella fue a nacer
en una fría sala de hospital
cuando vió la luz
su frente se quebró como el cristal
porque entre sus dedos a su padre
como un pez se le escurrió
hace un mes cumplió los veintiséis
solo pienso en ti

Hey, sólo pienso en ti
juntos de la mano, se les ve por el jardín
no puede haber nadie en este mundo tan feliz
sólo pienso en ti

Él nació de pie
le fueron a parir entre algodón
su padre pensó
que aquello era un castigo del señor
le buscó un lugar para olvidarlo
y siendo niño le internó
pronto cumplirá los treinta y tres
sólo pienso en ti

Hey, sólo pienso en ti
juntos de la mano, se les ve por el jardín
no puede haber nadie en este mundo tan feliz
sólo pienso en ti

En el comedor
les sientan separados a comer
si se miran bien
les corren mil hormigas por los pies
ella le regala alguna flor
y él le dibuja en un papel
algo parecido a un corazón
sólo pienso en ti

Hey, sólo pienso en ti
juntos de la mano, se les ve por el jardín
no puede haber nadie en este mundo tan feliz
sólo pienso en ti.

As the moon becomes the night time
You go viciously, quietly, away.
I'm sitting in the bedroom,
where we used to sit and smoke cigarettes
Now I'm watching, watching you die…
I can remember when I saw her last.
We were running all around and having a blast.
But the back seat of the drive-in is so lonely without you.
I know when your home, I was thinking about you.
There was something I forgot to say,
I was crying on Saturday night.
I was out cruising without you,
they were playing our song.
Crying on Saturday night.

Shine on you crazy diamond

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Disconnected

Look at the dead outside my window
Wonder what's on their mind?
Why do they run?
They all seem to have a mission
But then they cry themselves to sleep

You receive what you give
And this is like nothing
I feel like shit
But at least I feel something

Is this all you meant to be?

Their marks in the pavement
You've walked this route too many times
What if I changed the signs?
Would you even take notice?

Is this all you have to give?
So... March... Straight jacket union...
So... March...
In chains - surrender

Que si la noche se estaba encuerando no fue para verme
Lo que quería es cincuenta y la cama ¿con quién?, daba igual
Con troncos viejos que con calaveras, que esconden los dientes
Con dedos largos que nadie les queda para señalar
Con los muñones que escriben derecho en renglones torcidos
Con el olvido que siempre se acuerda de resucitar,
Con los relojes que me echan las cuentas y no han entendido
Que no me he rendido, quise fracasar.

Los Misfits - o cómo sentir muchas cosas en muy poco tiempo.

Los Misfits. Sí, aquel grupo mítico que nació en los setenta. Para los rezagados, aquí hay algo de información básica.

Últimamente he estado escuchando a los Misfits. Y cuando digo "últimamente", quiero decir a todas horas. Yo soy el tipo de mujer que va siempre pegada a su iPod, ninguna madre ha querido nunca a su hijo de la forma en que yo quiero a mi pequeño reproductor. Pues los Misfits siempre están en la pantalla y en mis oídos. Ahora suena Devil Doll. Un título curioso.

¿Y a qué viene el nombre de esta entrada? Bueno, los Misfits son esa clase de grupo que me ha sentir cosas muy distintas, sensaciones confrontadas del todo, absolutamente diversas e incompatibles. Lo primero en lo que me hacen pensar es en las pelis gore, de serie B, de hace cuarenta años. Una misma canción puede tener en mí, según el día, un efecto decididamente catártico o, por el contrario, ser un catalizador a la euforia. Y en cuanto a las letras... a veces no sé qué pensar. En ocasiones no comprendo su sentido, su propósito, aunque en otros momentos está perfectamente claro. Los momentos que más me inspiran son las mañanas, muy temprano, cuando me toca subirme en el autobús que me lleva, como el día anterior, a Oviedo. Esas horas maravillosas en las que aún estoy adormecida pero empiezo a tomar conciencia del por qué de cada momento... son unas horas estupendas. Para algunos será una tortura. Para mí sólo es tortura tener que soportar los gritos de los viajeros del bus. Pero para eso, I put my headphones on for this world that I ignore. La mujer del iPod. Y de los Misfits.

Y enconces suena el Monster Mash, y me entra risa, no puedo evitar imaginarme una sala a rebosar de gente bailando este ritmo tan simpático. También están Scream y Die, die my darling, posiblemente las más conocidas, y a su manera geniales. Creo que Die, die my darling fue la primera que escuché. Como en mi vida no existe el término medio, al día siguiente ya tenía en mi poder la discografía entera. Dejando a un lado las canciones arquetipo, tenemos Helena. Muy poderosa, sin duda. Y también muy confusa. Posiblemente sea la letra que más me confunde y me provoca sensaciones contradictorias:

If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs
Would you still love me anyway?
If you're bound and you're gagged, draped and displayed
Would you still love me anyway?


Lo primero que me sugiere es maltrato, pensar en maltrato me hace pensar en Placebo (otro grupo recurrente, a decir verdad), y de Placebo pienso en Ulises, en Ítaca, en Circe, en Helena y de nuevo en los Misfits. Es la vuelta a los orígenes. Genial, en realidad. Scarecrow man y Pumpkin head son dos pistas interesantes, pero aún más lo es Hunting Humans. Aquí retrocedemos a un pasado en el que ni siquiera estábamos presentes ni habíamos sido gestados, pero del que nos han llegado reminiscencias, al fin y al cabo. ¿Qué me hace pensar a mí? Gore. Zombis. Sangre falsa. Gritos. Jovencitas en minifalda. Cadáveres. Cerebros.

The touch of Death is all around us
A thousand corpses block our way
A man-made germ makes almost everyone-
commit suicide
Just to rise and eat their dead
Night of the Living Dead


Y sin embargo, ninguna otra canción de los Misfits me conmueve tanto como Saturday Night. Se rompe, de alguna manera, con todo lo anterior. Los Misfits, hablando de algo que podría ser ¿amor? Todo ello en un contexto, claro está, de violencia y masacres. Sin embargo, esta canción me transmite una ternura profundísima y, muy especialmente, arrepentimiento. Lo que la letra me hace pensar es que quien narra la historia acaba con la vida de su chica para darse después cuenta de que la ama. ¿Típico? Por supuesto. Pero no en los Misfits. Maravilloso, adorable y tétrico a su manera.

Esto es lo que ocurre con los Misfits. Que me divierten, me hacen pensar, me conmueven, me excitan, me sorprenden, me hacen querer más. Cambian cada día en mis oídos. Mi iPod ya no volverá a ser lo mismo.

PD. Como una postdata curiosa, os diré que me quedo con Doyle en lugar de Danzig, al menos en cuanto a vocalista. Todos sabemos que Danzig es una de esas grandes voces de todos los tiempos y que, en realidad, es tremendo. Dejando a un lado lo que, como mujer, pienso de Danzig (no lo negaré, me arrastraría entre cristales si me prometieran dos horas a solas con él), Doyle es mucho más dulce con las letras. Mima más la música que acompaña su voz. Quizá Danzig es un genio por no hacerlo, por ser áspero y rudo. Que nadie me crucifique, pero Doyle es mi Doyle. Dejo un pequeño regalo visual de todo el esplendor de la juventud de Danzig. Espero que vuestros instintos sexuales se desperecen como los míos:



Gracias por haberos tragado este tostón, si es que lo habéis hecho, y un caramelo para quien se lo haya leído entero. Sé lo pesada que soy, lo sé. Es que a veces, sólo a veces, tengo verdaderas ganas de escribir en el blog.
