Time Stand Still

Cuando leí por primera vez la letra de esta canción de Rush, me pasó mas alta que la distancia entre el Sol y Proxima Centauri (la estrella mas cercana, 4.22 años luz de aquí)...

Un día camino a mi trabajo anterior, tenía un CD de Rush puesto en el carro, y la escuché, no la oí que era lo que hasta ese momento había hecho. A veces envidio a los que pueden escribir canciones, y no puedo evitar pensar que esos cabrones me leen la mente para escribir lo que pienso ¿o es que pienso lo que ellos escriben? hummmmmm buen material para el blog... me salgo del tema, lo que me pasó cuando la escuché fué casi epifánico, difícil de describir. Si quieres saber como pienso (a veces, que pienso en muchas cosas), lee esto:

Time Stand Still
Rush

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath,
Before I start off again
Driven on,
Without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause,
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim
Who learns to transcend
Learns to live
As if each step was the end

Time stand still
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
Time stand still
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now
Time stand still

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away...
Experience slips away...
Time stand still

I turn my face to the sun
I close my eyes
I let my defenses down
All those wounds
That I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain,
Whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around

Time stand still
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
Time stand still
See more of the people
And the places that surround me
Now

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger

Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this moment
A little bit longer

The innocence slips away...
The innocence slips away...
Time stand still
Time stand still

I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now
Time stand still

Summer's going fast
The nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends growing older

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away...
Experience slips away...
The innocence slips away...
