THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

"MirroRorriM"

Buy me time so I can answer all questions
Cause time is what stucks me to the present
And the present is always nearby to my eyes
I want to see it all forward and rewind
Learn it all without any lies
So I can reach a peacefull state of mind.
Full filling my life, as it should be
Understanding dreams thru reality

I’m not myself and neither are you
We are just another process
An unfinished satisfaction of what we seek
A Karma circle that never ends
Making us stronger out from the weak.

We shall find our way back home
Going deep and coming again
It’s not a question of what is learned
But the answer to the question we try to run from

Guided by the theories and philosophies
We try to separate “good” from “right”
Creating an image of “perfection”
As “perfection” was our guiding light.

Now...Do you really know yourself?
Or do you know your image, reflected, in the mirror?

"Finishing the unfinished"

"Music is dreaming in wave formations"

Blue shakes green and tingles down the mountains of perfection
A million, zillion places to discover
and a mind journey through imagination…

Music is like dreaming in “wave formations”
As the tide rises all gets a shiny look
You start where you end or you end where you start, choose!
You’ll win something even if you loose
So listen and learn before you feel
Create your own words.
They are real!

Porque sim.

The Strainer

~
I'm the steel strainer
you pass thru everyday,
leaving nothing behind
but the dust of your soul.

I try to reach you
and touch you gently,
like the sun,
embracing the morning.
But your clouds...
your clouds, are way to dense
for these rays to penetrate,
for you still hide in the past
afraid of talking in the present tense.

What is that you're running from
besides running from yourself?
Who are these ghosts
that torment your sleep,
always knocking on your head
to push you deep,
to leave you sad?

I don’t know where to go
but I wont bend my way for you
Cause the desert's always changing its shape
And I’m afraid it swallows me with it too

What doesn’t kill you
makes you stronger.
So...despite we never said hello
or at least give it a try,
its time for me to go
So I guess,
I guess...this is goodbye.

~
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I cant be my own
Id feel better dead

I know what you're thinking
But I'm not your property
No matter what you say
No matter what you say

Move along, there's nothing left to see
Just a body, nothing left to see

A couple more for breakfast
A little more for tea
Just to take the edge off
Just to take the edge off

Move along, there's nothing left to see
Just a body, pouring down the street

Move along, theres nothing left to see
Just a body, nothing left to see

Move along

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?

I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance

I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Get picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

It barks at no-one else but me
Like its seen a ghost
i guess its seen the sparks a-flowin,
no-one else would know.
hey man slowdown slowdown.

thats when you see sparks
they ask me where the hell im going??
At a 1000 feet per second.
hey man slowdown slowdown.
idiot slow down slow down.
hey man slowdown slowdown.

idiot slow down
idiot slow down...

Shield

Today i'm trapped
trapped inside this body
I can't get out
I can't get out
Inside i shout

This mask consumes me
This is not who i am
This is not what i planned

And the shield gets stronger
'Till it shuts off
No one knocks
or dares to enter

Can't identify
No patterns around
no jigsaw to match
the puzzle in my head
There's no turning back
So I just sit and watch it
fade to black
'till the clock stops ticking
'till the clock stops ticking
~

Above love...only liberty

This is my hideout from the world
this is my hideout from you
under the blue...under the blue
where i rest in quiet noise

I'm a fish beneath this skin
just inches above the lower sand
where i stand...and remain
Do you even know my name?

Born on the strongest river
raised in the calm lake
I come face 2 face with the ocean ahead
I'm scared of losing my way
Yet, I don't even know who i am
I don't even know where i stand
Will this ocean ever end?
will the stars point me to land?

There's no way down from here
There's nothing more to dig
Guess i'm stuck
Ran out of luck
its true...indeed
Down is the new up
Down is the new me
'Cause above love
only liberty
but that...
i still can't see

Green Day "Good Riddance" (Time of your life) Cover by KoAN

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
