There are days when I don’t feel alive: I feel present.
My body is there, it takes up space, it moves through time like a train I can’t stop.
Inside, though, there are two of us.
Me and me.
And neither of us really knows how to stay.
Song translation:
Me and me
There are two of us in here
Me and me
In only one body
For a while I’ve wanted to be
Anyone else
Or rather to be here, to be, to exist now
And not hope to do it
Instead, I associate existence
With the violence of a birth
And my skin is a windshield
And my body is no longer a body
It’s a spatial obstruction
A train that moves forward
A plate that I leave over
You are distant from me, come back beside me
I see you tired
For today it’s enough
Touch my hand with your hand to feel
That it’s beautiful to the point of madness
But how many lives do we lose
In order not to go mad
I want to bless every part of me, every part of me
Why can’t you wait to turn around and kill me?
I only want to free you in order to survive you
Don’t you know that the only way you have to exist is
Me and, me and, me and
Sometimes I happen to feel a pain, I notice it
And I cry from emotion, because I am inside myself
Just to inhabit a skin
I count calories like the minutes that are left
My God, too many people like me more than I like myself
As if I, by comparison, were nothing
And I have too many words that I can’t swallow
Untie these knots because I want to feel again
That it’s beautiful to the point of madness
But how many lives do we lose
In order not to go mad
I want to bless every part of me, every part of me
Why can’t you wait to turn around and kill me?
I only want to free you in order to survive you
Don’t you know that the only way you have to exist is
Me and, me and, me and
Me and, me and, me and
Me and me
There are two of us in here
Me and me
In only one body
