Telling Stories

There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesn't mean
You're not just telling stories

There is fiction in the space between
You and reality
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life seem less mundane

There is fiction in the space between
You and me
There's a science fiction in the space between
You and me
A fabrication of a grand scheme
Where I am the scary monster
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
In my spaceship I am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
There's no one but you standing

Leave the pity and the blame
For the ones who do not speak
You write the words to get respect and compassion
And for posterity
You write the words and make believe

There is truth in the space between
There is fiction in the space between
You and everybody
Give us all what we need
Give us one more sad sordid story
But in the fiction of the space between

Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Sometimes a lie is the best thing


Achei por bem relembrar o que ouvia há uns aninhos atrás, por isso peguei nos meus cds mais antigos para me acompanharem nas viagens que faço todos os dias para cá e para lá. No meio deles redescobri Tracy Chapman, que parece que tinha ficado esquecida na prateleira, mas que agora volta a ser música para os meus ouvidos...



The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesn't mean
You're not just telling stories

Até que ponto o que vemos, escrevemos, recordamos e registamos é real?!
Até que ponto não fazemos apenas parte de um conto qualquer?!
Até que ponto podemos acreditar no que nos rodeia?!
