Ode To Infinity

Cosmos...
o que já foi...
o que é e tudo o que será
Acordo sem pressa...
da intransparência,
da impossibilidade que não é mais
Revelou-se em mim o amplo, o vasto,
a puta da loucura
Rasguei o ventre vitalício que me afogava
Transcendo-me agora à totalidade
Sou!
Espaço...
O espaço sideral,
vazio perfeito e lácteo...
Eis os mundos de gelo e fogo de Carl Sagan!
Abismos entre nebulosas,
buracos negros em escalas quânticas, imensuráveis
Já não sinto a vertigem, a espiralidade
Já cá estou... e não.
Ah pois... as estrelas!
As estrelas...
Constelações infindáveis de um sono ancestral,
quando éramos oceano
Triliões de galáxias ininterruptas,
o imenso infinito...
Perdi-me...e é só isto
Só aqui me encontro, estático
O mapa da eternidade estava em nós,
em frívolas circunstâncias
Tornou-se...
Enleio-me contigo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cosmos...
what once was...
what is and all that will be
I wake up without haste...
from the intransparency
from the impossibility that is no more
The wide, the vast is revealed in me
the fucking madness...
I tore the lifeless womb that drowned me
I transcend myself now to wholeness
I am!
Space...
The outer space,
perfect, milky emptiness...
Carl Sagan's worlds of ice and fire!
Chasms between nebulae,
black holes on quantum scales, immeasurable
I no longer feel the vertigo, the spirality
I'm already here... and no.
Oh yes... the stars!
The stars...
Endless constellations of an ancestral sleep,
when we were ocean
Trillions of uninterrupted galaxies,
the immense infinity...
I got lost... and this is it
Only here I find myself,
static.
The map of eternity was within us
in frivolous circumstances
It became...
I entangle myself with you

Home
05:26
|
|

My heart's clock delayed for days
20 days of poor sleep
since your arms took me in
my sweet and lurid darkness
I wonder where the stars will take me
there is light beyond this
A reckless hope somehow remains
a soundless noise, a blatant silence
A black hole opened door
and right beyond comes home
I have to prepare myself for this!
There's so much light beyond the horizon
I lay down my sword
and hold the steering wheel
I must go as far as those unseen stars
I wonder where this dark will take me
The soundless noise, the silence
I have been driven away
from the timeline of my existence
as if I have not lived at all
Right beyond comes home

Exit
02:00
|
|
||
Find myself floating in the clouds
Never really felt my feet on the ground
Speculate that jet plane passing by
Hit that perfect place upon the sky
I cast the world away
The sun

New Worlds
05:09
|
|

All the sequencing is wrong
It looks there are no solutions
to a drifting ship
3 degrees in Simplex Alpha
Booster functions failures
leading us to crimson skies
Check star 34
trajectory set to my exile
My solitude's neglected
deadly thoughts have crossed my brain
The world I knew has fallen
no such thing as going back
Acronyms convey new forms of life
I'm left to no one's God,
a different humankind
I'm letting out the past for good
head straight to the stars
long was the hour of departure
didn't leave behind my staggering fire
I'm astonished with the light,
thrilled beyond compare
There should be life somewhere
Acronyms convey new forms of life
I'm left to no one's God,
a different humankind

Compass
04:58
|
|

Slow down!
I'm entering now a cloud state
I'll try to breathe once more...
Lock synced
I'm half man, half machine brand new
my maiden journey starts
(breathe...)
I let go
It's a breakthrough this star-lined pathway
Have to get used to odd jetlags
Have to bring up some peaceful thoughts
There's no time here
My shallow breath is stable now
my maiden journey starts
I let go

Once
04:17
|
|
||
Frozen in time surroundings
we're halfway there to this
point of no return, the end
the outset to connection
captured everything,
like distance and time
A quiet call from a distant place, a sound
Astronomers haven't predicted this
A mind's black hole way out
a supermassive sun, a blast
exploded my heart to pieces
healing my eagerness
the speed of light gently calms you
Once it was dark but I see through again
Once it was cold and my soul thrived from the blame
The blame and the fear
Once past, hereafter clear light

Into the Void
06:48
|
|
||
I woke up from a dark dream
it should be in some unusual tea time scale
I sank myself in your night
It wasn't cold,
my inner flame was strong
I recognize this dark place
my favorite hiding place should be right here
Something with the water...
(don't drink...)
I do not remember the concept of home
I'm lost in a perpetual twirl
Into the Void
no step back, no way 'round
Surrender
Sucked down by the blame
to a darkness
I hope for some light
I finally understood this
it's happening once again
tick tock to a hole
I gave myself to blackness
I do not remember the concept of home
I'm lost in a perpetual twirl
Into the Void
no step back, no way 'round...
Surrender
Sucked down by the blame
to a darkness
I wished for some light
From now on
all will be unsettled!
Reason's gone
Instant radio waves collapsing
Hyper-Spacing now to mystical bright
it takes me for enough graded speed
I become artificially happy
Here we go
sucked down by a flame
to a darkness
I hoped for some light

Astronaut
06:09
|
|
||
I am drowned, locked, turned into silence
lost in a heavy dose of languorous oxygen
some kind of dreaming half awake
I've understood every bone
It must be love intolerance
"Beep beep" sounds and heartbeats come as warnings
words are numb, torpid
numbered by strange orders
words are cold
Hush now, just behold what lies yonder
Old fears are out of reach
your heart tuned to 432
it's gone forever the world we knew
Looks like I'm on the right track again
It must be love intolerance
"Beep beep" sounds and heartbeats come as warnings
words are numb, torpid
numbered by strange orders
words are dead
Hush now, just behold
Old fears are out of reach
it's gone forever the world we knew
Looks like I'm on the right track again
It must be love intolerance
"Beep beep" sounds and heartbeats come as warnings
words are numb, torpid
numbered by strange orders
slow down now
tenderly, light as water
tenderly, light as water
slow down now

Remembrance
04:06
|
|
||
We changed the world one day
we dreamed about a fire
we wrote each other's time
while counting dots in the sky
A fractured dream of little shots,
little things, little pieces lost
pieces about the snow
and something extraordinary would be
I've watched us fall in little nothings,
little shots, little pieces are broken
an eerie astronaut
with echoes of someone's story
a pilot's lost dream
I have been gone for so long
I wonder where the stars will take me
My skylab knows the galaxy
it drives me away from the past
A fractured film in little shots,
little things, little pieces lost
pieces about the desert
and something extraordinary would be
I've watched us fall in little nothings of chaos,
little pieces are broken
now I'm an astronaut
with echoes of someone's story
a pilot's lost dream
(Now...sleep!)

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Ground Control?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Major Tom to Ground Control...
Major Tom to Ground Control...
Major Tom to Ground Control...

Eternity
04:10
|
|
||
A Cosmical peaceful sea
Pieces of scattered strange worlds
Rowing, rowing through unpredictable storms
of x-rays and lullabies
They wrote about you before
poetry radio skywards
sound waves are breaking
the boundaries of pathways...
...to Stars!
Electrical flashes from far
Goddesses of fire and time
take me with you beyond night
take me with you
Imaginary common dreams
those scattered strange worlds
rowing on an ocean of binary sums,
and beautiful magnetic fields
They wrote about you before
cracks in the spectrum of sound
show black holes,
boundaries of pathways...
...to Stars!
Electrical flashes from far
Goddesses of fire and time
take me with you beyond night
take me with you beyond night
Electrical war's riding winds
thrusting the boundaries to
Stars!
Take me with you beyond night
take me with you!

Hyperspace
05:05
|
|
||
Hyper-Spacing now through mythical bright
engines revealing adversity
I'm not sure of the danger
if you take me for an upgraded speed
I become artificially happy
I become artificially happy
Time-lapses with you pointing at the clouds
we used to stare at the sky
It's my human memento
I am switching to the engine's control
and become artificially happy
I become artificially happy
Free from the human condition
It's time to assume my true identity
I am now a machine
Controls connecting my paths,
forbidden gardens to human life
Just behold the true eternity
free from all useless things to care
I'm not sure of the danger
when I switch myself to the engine's control
I become artificially happy
I become artificially happy

Cordelia
03:59
|
|

Clockwise Cordelia springs
behind the first of last worlds frontiers
Sunless, there's no tomorrow here
no blissful skies,
just graceful darkness prevails
I'd stay and spring with you
I wish to hide with you
Hide me from this light
You're my black pagan star
Eclipse me with your shades
I'll fall in love with you
I'll tell you all about sunlight
Let's sail to the unknown,
ship and Moon
It's frightful, I know
your father protects you from light
but he'll never know
Ask Ophelia to tell your brothers and sisters
We'll hide from blissful skies
Only graceful darkness prevails
I'll take you dance with me
I wish to hide with you
Save me from this light
You're my black pagan star
Eclipse me with your shades
I'll fall in love with you
I'll orbit around your cold waist
and tell you about the sun
I'll fall in love with you
I'll fall in love with you
fall in love with you
fall...

Solar Epiphany
07:59
|
|
||
Fell asleep.
Jupiter's still faraway
Nothing but stars
"For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides.
For others, they are no more than little lights in the sky."
What would make me human again?
Where is home? Can't see it from here anymore...
Auto tracking now
Cabin pressure: 4.5
Standing by...
Mark!
Enlightened at last!
What should be beyond you, my Icarus friend?
A hidden galaxy of macro giants?
Or a new Earth... with beautiful trees
and a Sunday morning so warm
