In ultimele 12-13 luni am scris. Cuvinte ce se vor versuri. Versuri ce se vor sunete, pentru ca le-am atasat si note si acorduri de chitara. Toate reprezinta experientze traite de mine in ultimii ani si relatzioneaza cu fetele care m-au dezamagit sau incantat, cu prieteni, cu familia mea si cu cel care ne priveste de sus.
Ar putea fi cu sigurantza un album. Daca as gasi 3 instrumentisti faini, care sa-si puna si ei amprenta pe aceasta fundatie creata de mine, ar putea fi un disc, poate chiar unul bun. Deocamdata e doar un vis sau doar o fantezie. Eu, Fly-ul, expus in intimitatea mea privirilor voastre, ca o musca pe un perete.
Deocamdata sa inceapa partea lirica, pentru cei interesati. Cu partea muzicala mai vedem.
CHECKED IN
I've just checked in tonight
This room is out of sight
Dry sheets look so clean
Forgetting where I've been
Forgetting all I've lost
Paying all the costs
Just checked in tonight
Another chance to make it right
Another hotel room
I'll be leaving soon
To some other place
To fight another race
Just checked in tonight
Shut down the light
Smash away the door
Dreaming on the floor
Of another place
Of eternal grace
Just checked in tonight
But morning soon will come
I'll be checking out
I'll be gone without a doubt
To another place
With eternal grace
To find another home
To find another job
To find another wife
To find another life
Forgetting all I've lost
Paying all the costs
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
I'll be checking in
I'll be checking out
I'll be losing faith
I'll be losing doubt
Over and over

CLEAN CUT
Wasting days, burning flames
Changing lanes, losing games
Freezing frames, calling names
Nothing bears, no one cares
Breathe alone, just on lung intact
See so clear with just one eye, in fact
Run away with my crippled legs
Chased away as this day won't end
But when the night comes I'll find you
Just to lose you once again
A smile that lies a heart which dies
A face that won't be soon erased
Changing names, brand new blades
Wounding veins, blood red stains
Buying hate won't challenge faith
'Cause all you did was just by the books we read
So I'll be wasting days in burning flames
While nothing bears and no one cares
But when the night comes I'll find you
Just to lose you once again
And when you are away
I'll remember all the things you said
Leaving soon myself as well
Full of secrets I can't tell
So don't you waste your days, burn your flames
Lose your games or freeze your frames
'Cause all you did was just by the books we read
And I'm proud of you, I hope you understand
And when night comes I'll kill you
That's the only thing to do
Just to give me life again
(despre o fata care chiar a meritat sa scriu despre ea)
EACH OTHER
A while ago you told me to stay
Right away from you
A while ago I chose not to runaway
From you
Well, that's ok, I'll wait till some other day
For you
Anyway, you gotta do it your own way
It's true
And till then, I'll lose some
Till then, I'll bruise some
It doesn't matter
These roads will cross (each other)
Don't even bother, honey
It takes a while to heal
A while ago I told you I need you
Right away with me
Some time ago you chose not to fade away
And be free
Well, that's ok, we're waiting for some other day
(for each other)
For each other to learn, for each other to turn
Into each other
(despre o fata care nu meritat sa scriu despre ea)
FILL IN THE BLANKS
Fill me with letters, fill me with words
Leave black marks on me
Fill me with sounds, fill me with noise
Or better just feel me
Fill this glass of wine, you're the last drop
You're the last stop
Fill me with hope, feed me with songs
Or better just feel me
Fill me out with you
Rest your head upon these tense shoulders of mine
Faking your concern
Careful not to wake the devil deep inside
My world
Life comes to a twist when you'll have to reply
To my patience
This is how it works, this is my selfish side
This is me, the patient
Fill me out with you
It's time to fill in the blanks
No more playing games
It's time for you to come along
No more fakin' sorries, no more fading stories
I've had that shit far too long
Now would you please...
Fill me out with you
FRIEND
Some time has passed
Nothing lasts
Here we are
Still so far
On different roads
With different hopes
Take care my friend
Things get right in the end
You're on your own
Gotta carry on
It's ok, you can turn away
This is it, nothing left to say
Don't be sad
I try not to
Things turned bad
Nothing we can do
No one to blame
Never the same
Take care my friend
Things get right in the end
You've been the best
This case is rest
IN MY CRADLE
When the wind softly blows
In the trees of my hometown
I feel there's an angel taking me
Up when I'm down
When I remember
The faces I love
Queens and kings of my fable
I'm home in my cradle
And when I come back sometimes
To those places beloved
I breathe just to hold once again
My own flesh and blood
Through the sand set in years
Through the spaces and time
Nothing changes in that place
It's safe and it's mine
They taught me to stand tall
To reach and to give
To pick myself up when I fall
To love and believe
I live to pay them back
For all that they did
And all I am and all I got
Gotta bring them relief
Take me back to that place
Hold me tight in your arms
Welcome back your long gone son
With trumpets and drums
(pentru orashul meu natal si pentru familia mea)
NACHAM
Hey now, don't be afraid
If you can believe
You'll be your own relief
Wait for a while
Save your smile, save your faith
Keep it straight
'Cause God will change his mind
Letting you find
That what you thought was lost
Is coming back
God will change his mind
Take a look inside
Forget about your doubt
Just let it out
Nothing is settled, nothing is planned
Nothing is what it seems
In the end
When you're down and the world stays dark
Just train your eyes to see the light
'Cause God will change his mind
Letting you find
That what you thought was lost
Is coming back
'Cause God changes his mind
Leave your fears behind
You gotta believe in
The prize you'll recieve
When...when will we learn
That we can change
What can't be changed
When will we find
That we can find
Our peace of mind
NOTE:
The Hebrew word "nacham" (pronounced nawkam) is almost always translated into English as "change one's mind." However, careful study reveals that this is the proper meaning in only a few Scriptural circumstances. It does not automatically mean to change one's mind or repent.
Nacham can have several meanings, but it generally means to turn or change direction, though it can mean to change one's mind. It contains no association with wrongdoing, though it can suggest pity or making a change with a heavy sigh. Translations which automatically interpret this as saying that God "changed His mind" are not necessarily wrong, but incomplete. The King James Version translated 'nacham' as "repented," but the meaning of that word has changed so much over the past 500 years. Today, repentance is always associated with erroneous behavior that is being corrected. In the 16th Century, the word "repent" had far less ominous undertones. Then, it simply meant to make a dramatic change in direction.
HALFWAY DOWN THE ROAD
I've sent a cab over tonight
So just pack your bags
And leave everything behind
But some hopes and rags
Take a fast train at the first class
Pour some red wine in your glass
Meet you halfway down the road
There's a milestone on the wayside
Growing old
Nomad romance takes the road again
With no remembrance of how it all began
Take a fast bus on the front seat
We've almost made it babe, it's time to meet
Meet you halfway down the road
There's a milestone on the wayside
Growing old
See you someday, down that line
There's a bus stop and I'll wait there
You'll be fine
NO MORE TIME
I got no more time
(I said) I got no more time
When you refuse to show
And I keep letting go
But still, this world keeps on turning
Yeah still, clocks ring in the morning
And still, it seems nothing is changing
But time has its way, you know
I got no more time
My songs run out of rhyme
When your flight home is delayed
And you take a long bus ride instead
But still, this world keeps on turning
Yeah still, clocks ring in the morning
And still, it seems nothing is changing
But time has its way, you know
Its way of turning wheels around
Taking you up from the mudy ground
It's gonna pay back (they say)
Alright then, let's just wait another day
But when your flight home is delayed
It's too late, love, you'll find me dead
RIGHT ALONG
Time's a vacuum cleaner
Sucks up the past
And you're my favorite sinner
I guess you knew all that
Right along
You knew all that
Right along
Time's a changing shore
With winds and tides
There's always more
I guess I felt all that
Right along
I felt all that
Right along
Give it a little time
Some room and space
To find what you need
And hoped about right along
ROCKIN' TIMES
Gotta find some peace of mind in this whole madness of the world
Wanna buy some piece of time though it seems everything is sold
Gonna drink a cup of faith to release remainings of a doubt
Gotta keep up with this race otherwise I'm left without
I'm aging wasting all the time
I'm drifting in these rockin' times
Nothing changes, no one does
In the end it's just a fuss
People's faces passing by
Their footsteps on the fly
Nothing changes, no one will
Patience is my toughest bill
Gonna pay it with a dime
These are rockin' times
TOUGH NUT TO CRACK
When a fist blows in my face
And the blood invades my mouth
I am pushed towards the edge
So they think I'll be knocked out
But I'm much stronger than they want
Just a tough nut to crack
I spit the blood then wash my face
And my cloths are all but black
Not afraid, not willing to fall down
I know there's nothing more than just a passing phase
When I'm trapped I remember a simple phrase
My father said:
"I'm not giving up
I'm just searching my own track"
Daddy's boy, you're on your own
Be yourself then turn himself
Prove the world that you have grown
Knock them out until the end
(pentru tata, un om cu o vointza uriasha ce niciodata nu se da batut)
TRANSLUCENCE
Diffuse, the border of our contours
Colours and skin-shaped patches blurry altogether
Faces can't get any closer than destruction
Still, never questioned if it'd be enough
To know the truth, trust in your youth
Only by looking at you, your crystalline, through you again.
I push my mouth harder against your own
Is it the fastest way to suck up and take in
Every word you see me listening to?
Me, unable to believe you. Is it punishable?
Then my cornered-smile shall be the reason
You forgive me for, or else, no choice than to turn my water
Into blood.
(scrisa de Aubergine, o fosta buna prietena)
VIENNESE
Leave your mother
Leave your home
Leave your father
Leave them all
Leave this country
Just leave a note
Break the news
Then take your coat
And meet me in Vienna
Spring begins, a train is waiting
We depend on what we choose
Pack your bags, the streets are playing
Don't forget your dancing shoes
And waltz me in Vienna
(pentru un orash care mi-a implinit un vis vechi de 8 ani, luandu-mi insa ca tribut o fata pe care o iubeam)
WITHOUT
Today the lottery said my ticket was a loser
I guess I'll try again the next week
Still can't get some girl to a walk in the park
Wasting bullets and cigs like a freak
The job routine becoming funny
The empty flat's pulling me down
I try to laugh seeing my name on
Some taxi cabs they drive in town
All those things are addin' up, crackin' up
All the bullshit in my life
While I'm waiting
Without knowing what I'm actually doing
Without knowing who I actually am
Write down my name
Friends from the past forget to call you
Lovers from the future forget to show
I've lost my taste, my sight, my senses
It's becoming clear it's my time to go
WORTH THE WAIT
I've seen'em all
Paid my dues, I rise and fall
Don't know if things change over time
I'll hold my breath, I'll take the step
Couldn't come to soon
I'm in the waiting room
Don't know when the sun rises
I just can guess what the tide will bring
Don't know why the sun sets
Over me
I'm aware that you need a lot of time to make up
Before coming out in the lights
But still, don't let me finish another pack of cigarettes
Don't let me out of sight
I'll roll the dice, I'll keep on dancing on thin ice
Don't know if ice melts over time
I'll hold my breath, I'll take the step
And I'll forgive another sunset
Don't know when the sun rises
I just can guess what the tide will bring
Don't know why the sun sets
Over me
Don't know when you'll finally walk
Out of that dressing room
Just hope I'll be able to say
It was worth the wait
That you put me through
