Tentar um Significado Quando não se Encontra Significado


Frases soltas de letras de canções tiradas de um velho disco de vinil que, por sorte (ou azar) me calhou. O pano de fundo continua ‘mudança’. Ler as letras de canções que não conhecia (talvez se as ouvisse me lembrasse de um refrão) e que me pareciam sempre iguais na sua superficialidade e no ‘não dizerem quase nada’.
Careless head untroubled by the caos of our lives
Be true to yourself and you can’t be wrong
That’s covering your mind
You are longing to find
I was feeling complicated
Were only made to break
There’s a photograph
Something’s gotta change
We went driving for an hour or two
Help you to unwind
Erase your fears
There’s is a colour Picture in my mind / Of all the places I left behind

From Eurythmics, Revenge.

Mudando alguns tempos verbais, alguns pronomes pessoais e pouco mais, eis o resultado assumindo alguma pobreza em significado e dando corpo a clichés:


I am feeling complicated, but with a careless head untroubled by the caos of our lives and  I know that something has got to change. Erase your fears! They were only made to be broken since they are covering your mind. There is a photograph, there’s a colour picture in my mind off all the places I left behind. But what am I longing to find? I shall drive for an hour or two to help me unwind, but mostly I shall be true to myself. I can not be wrong.
