Behind the Tree Where Nothing Shines

Gleaming light behind the tree where nothing shines,
I thought I didn't mind, but I did,
She was there standing in the light,
Behind somewhere, could not believe.
Could not believe how she could shine
Could not believe that I believed
Could not believe, was melting down
Like something else that wasn't me

Still she was there, shining
Like something that she is
I was impressed, not flying
Like I never did

She asked me if I could tell her a story
I asked her if she could tell me hers
She blushed, then started
Some seventeen before.

There is a something I must tell
Yet I find there's nothing left to tell.

Second

She woke up on the world seventeen years ago, in a darkened night (though all nights are darkened these days). There was no moon they say, but it actually could not be seen. It was there.

She was there.

She woke up on the world seventeen years ago, in a place I could not reach. I was reading a book called “Avoiding Suicide” by Kurt Cobain and it was helping me not.

She had woken up already. Moonlit trees were shining on a brilliant night. She was blazing there behind. She was blazing.

Behind the tree where nothing shines.

Enola

Lonesome night
Grey crooked tree
Moonlit girl staring from behind
She's one with me

Closed eye,
Yet she's staring from behind

I'd rather be drunk maybe
Still a lonesome night it is
Yet this girl looked deeper into me
So I guess I'll hang onto this

Cause it's deeper within me
There is nothing I can do

Texto

A vida é como música
Você não deve escolher o que é simples ou o que é complicado
Você deve escolher o que sente que é certo
Mesmo que as vezes o certo seja o errado
Assim como uma nota dissonante pode ser a bela de uma música.
O que fazemos importa muito sim
Mas as vezes o que importa mesmo é o modo como fazemos
Como às vezes não importa a mensagem, mas o mensageiro
E se somos luz ou escuro, pode ser importante definir
Mas também aceitar que sempre seremos ambos
E que fazer o bem é importante
Mas que faremos o mal também, queiramos ou não
E que às vezes, essa sera nossa nota dissonante
Que não se encaixa em nossa vida, mas a deixa mais bonita
Mais perfeita, pois a perfeição é o encaixe das falhas
Seus overlaps e suas contradições
Podemos até escolher esquecê-las
Mas é como querer ver abelhas sem seu mel
Flores sem seu pólem
E a luz sem suas sombras
Escolhemos muitas coisas
Todas elas são nosso destino
Que talvez escrevemos, talvez não
Mas que com certeza o melhor jeito de escapar dele
É sermos nós mesmos, honestos
Mesmo sem saber quem somos
