Starting gun

Time~ Pink Floyd

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch
the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to
kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind
you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting
gun.

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but
it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're
older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the
time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of
scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired,
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.


Hoje está passando um especial de clássicos do multishow, e passou Pink Floyd, essa música acima, e de fato tem muito a ver com meus presentes pensamentos.
Na rua da minha casa tinha uma papelaria, fechou há uns anos e só lembrei dela esses dias. Antes era corriqueiro ver a papelaria, ir lá comprar as cartolinas para trabalhinhos de escola, hoje virou duas casas, não faço mais trabalhos divertidos com cartolina, nada de cartazes, escolher temas, me caracterizar para as apresentações. De repente eu vou e volto sozinha, preciso carregar a chave ou fico trancada pra fora de casa, estou fazendo decisões sem auxílio nenhum. Agora isso tudo virou normal, mas antes o normal era total dependência.
O mais incrível é que as mudanças são sutis, e quando você vai ver já passou 10 anos e você nem percebeu. O estranho vira normal, o normal vira estranho.

No final das contas, tudo é, já foi, ou vai ser estranho.
O mais estranho é que isso é normal.

  1. Eu gosto mais de Eclipse. Meio fala quem eu sou:

    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.


    Uma música YinYanística, meio "Nada é tão bom, nem tão ruim". Eu gosto.
