Time to Pretend

Essa é uma música muito boa do MGMT que conheci em Barcelona, tocava sempre no Sidecar que era minha balada predileta.

Quando voltei pro Brasil sempre colocava essa música pra lembrar dos tempos de Barcelona, mas nunca tinha prestado muita atenção na letra. Quando resolvi finalmente prestar atenção no que ela dizia me surpreendi.

A letra praticamente descreve todo meu sentimento quando resolvi sair do Brasil para conhecer um estilo de vida completamente diferente. Tirando que eu não consegui transar com nenhuma celebridade e também não tive vontade nenhuma de usar heroína, o resto é praticamente perfeito, parece até que foi escrita como trilha sonora da minha vida nesse ano muito louco que eu vivi.

Enfim..."This is our decision, to live fast and die young. We`ve got the vision, now let`s have some fun!"

Time to Pretend

 

I'm Feelin rough I'm Feelin raw I'm in the prime of my life.

Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives.

I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars.

You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

 

This is our decision to live fast and die young.

We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.

Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?

Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

 

Forget about our mothers and our friends.

We were fated to pretend.

 

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms.

I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world.

I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home.

Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.

 

But there is really nothing, nothing we can do.

Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew.

The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,

we'll find some more models, Everything must run its course.

 

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.

We were fated to pretend.
