Got some posters I found by the street today
I had no time to read what they really say
Some look pleasing
Others, disgusting
Making easy
To express what I wanted
Who would knew art could be so popular?
Who would knew this art is digestible?
Funny, moody or highly satirical
For some reason, it's so relatable
Popart is anything
Popart is everything
Some glue and scissors, look what I've made
The definition of my mood for the day
I need some irony
At my coffee, please
To deal with all the things
That are happening
The world is just a mess
It knows how to impress
Who would knew art could be so popular?
Who would knew this art is digestible?
Funny, moody or highly satirical
For some reason, it's so relatable
Born and raised by the media
Used to hear their ideas
Now you can hear our voices clearly
And it's just the beginning
Who would knew art could be so popular?
Who would knew this art is digestible?
Funny, moody or highly satirical
For some reason, it's so relatable
Popart is anything
Popart is everything
Popart is anything
Popart is everything

Beautiful

She walks by slowly, carefully
Doesn't want to disturb anything
Throughout the night she's lonely
Thoughtful of her daily doings
Am I using my power for greater good or bad?
Will my good intentions end up in hell instead?
Does she know how beautiful she is?
Does she know we're grateful she exists?
Does she know the goodness she shares?
Does she know the monsters are just in her head?
He runs faster than the thunder
Hoping to be enlightening
For the lady that wonders
If she'll see the next sun rising
Will I be in luck to find the help she needs
Or would I be more helpful if I didn't leave
Does he know how beautiful he is?
Does he know we're grateful he exists?
Does he know the goodness he shares?
Does he know the monsters are just in his head
She hears the fast pace approaching
He sees something may be a human figure
She smells the sweat of a brave athlete
He feels the magic invade his core
They find each other in the darkest evening
Know each other want to help all creatures
No words exchange to express the kind of help he needs
Quickly going to help the woman in sore
Do they know how beautiful they can be?
Do they know how hopeful they may feel?
Do they know the goodness they share?
Do they know the monsters are just in their heads
He knows she's beautiful
She knows he's beautiful
But why can't both see through the dark mirror?
He knows she's beautiful
She knows he's beautiful
But why can't both see through the dark mirror?

The Crowd

The cheering is convincing
The anthem is catchy
Without even realizing, you're cheering too
We're watching, all seated
Unless things there get heated
We're cursing a mother's player for his bad move
We shouting and screaming and complaining about it
We judging and twiddling our thumbs, we're excited
And again we say we changed the game
But we're not breaking a sweat
Or training without rest
Or even doing our best
And yet, we better than anybody else
Haven't heard our loudest yet
So, players, better lest us
Or you won't be our guest
For the hall of fame to be acclaimed
The crowd has spoken
And you are over
The crowd has spoken
Hope you stay rover
The field game feels easy
Why aren't they more breezy
I've paid nothing but I expected more
Now someone is bleeding
Why are they all so flimsy?
That sucker punch shouldn't make you that sore
We shouting and screaming and complaining about it
We judging and twiddling our thumbs, we're excited
And again we say we changed the game
But we're not breaking a sweat
Or training without rest
Or even doing our best
And yet, we better than anybody else
Haven't heart our loudest yet
So, players, better lest us
Or you won't be our guest
For the hall of fame to be acclaimed
The crowd have spoken
And you are over
The crowd have spoken
Hope you stay rover
We shouting and screaming and complaining about it
Like we do with our own lives
We judging and twiddling our thumbs, we're excited
'Cuz' we're distracted from our lives
And again we say we changed the game
But not our lives
We're never satisfied
But we're not breaking a sweat
Or training without rest
Or even doing our best
And yet, we better than anybody else
Haven't heart our loudest yet
So, players, better lest us
Or you won't be our guest
For the hall of fame to be acclaimed
The crowd have spoken
And you are over
The crowd have spoken
Hope you stay rover

Sometimes I miss my old home
Wherever home used to be
I can't remember where I used to live
But I guess they're happy that I'm here
Staring at the stars, I wonder when
I'll see someone like me again
Mother spaceship hasn't called for a while
I feel I wasn't the only stranger
Brought to Earth to learn about the danger
Of living based on error and try
Sometimes I miss my old home
I'm observing and making contact
With the humans around me
But isn't the same as interacting
With another of my specie
I'm learning a lot, can't deny the fact
I'm the best me I could ever be
But I still wish I'll find somehow
Another intruder in the crowd
Nothing against humans, they're okay
But most of the times I have so little to say
I don't feel I add to the conversation
Maybe I'm judging myself too hard
Like I could lose my green card
Just 'cuz' my human portrait don't get a standing ovation
Sometimes I miss my old home
I'm observing and making contact
With the humans around me
But isn't the same as interacting
With another of my species
I'm learning a lot, can't deny the fact
I'm the best me I could ever be
But I still wish I'll find somehow
Another intruder in the crowd
Can't deny, your planet's fine
And you seem an interesting species
But I wish I could find
Aliens like me more easily
Do you have an app for this?
(Please)

Kaleidoscope
03:40
|

We grow up hearing nursery rhymes and stories
From them, we learned good and bad exist
We grow up wishing the world can be as exciting
But when talks get heated, some point fingers and leave
Don't be afraid to discover new shades of grey everyday
Don't be shy to check if the foundation of a building is fine
You shouldn't see hero movies in black and white
Makes easier to ignore or blur the lines
Life's a messy kaleidoscope
You grew up believing the heroes on screen
Cheered for the bad guy's sad ending
You think that power is what responsibility means
Or you'd rather imagine that's the reality of things
Don't be afraid to discover new shades of grey everyday
Don't be shy to check if the foundation of a building is fine
You shouldn't see hero movies in black and white
Makes easier to ignore or blur the lines
Life's a messy kaleidoscope
I'm not accusing you
I'm looking for the truth
I want to show you
There's more to look though
if you open your eyes
And listen to new sounds
Read the "other side"
Shutting your mouth for a while
Maybe then you'll see
The blindfold in your face
Telling you're never wrong
Telling there is no need to change
We were made to ascend
Don't be afraid to discover new shades of grey everyday
Don't be shy to check if the foundation of a building is fine
You shouldn't see hero movies in black and white
Makes easier to ignore or blur the lines
Life's a messy kaleidoscope

Control
04:19

I think too much and my brain doesn't hurt
My body does, it feels the weight of the world
I've been feeling tired, lost all the hours
And no strength to make it back to work
But I'm always remembered how I should be
The smiles, waves of joy I should release
But right now, I just see shades of grey
But we need to keep moving, right?
But we need to keep going, right?
Get on the flow
Pretending we have the control
But we need to keep grooving, right?
But we need to keep dancing, right?
Seeing how it goes
Pretending we have the control
I lay on my bed but I don't seem to rest
My mind is on, so are my fears and nightmares
It's irrational, it's all in my head
But it consumes me, I've never felt so scared
I'm losing control of my deepest feelings
But wait a minute, did I ever have it in first place
But I'm always remembered how I should be
The smiles, waves of joy I should release
But right now, I just see shades of grey
But we need to keep moving, right?
But we need to keep going, right?
Get on the flow
Pretending we have the control
But we need to keep grooving, right?
But we need to keep dancing, right?
Seeing how it goes
Pretending we have the control
If you don't find the source
You'll never end the fire
You'll always be burned by the flames
Again and again
If I don't drop the act
I control all the wires
I won't be listening to them
Telling me something's wrong in my head
So let me take a break
Let me go away
Find a light place
Where I can finally breathe
Understand again
Who I really am
Who I call "my friend"
And discover who I'm willing to be
Reveal what's inside
Way into my mind
Complaining all times
Why am I feeling the need
Yo shout it out
Really loud
That's something's wrong
With my simple life
But we need to keep moving, right?
But we need to keep going, right?
Get on the flow
Pretending we have the control
But we need to keep grooving, right?
But we need to keep dancing, right?
Seeing how it goes
Pretending we have the control

I've always been told I was born a winner
"I'll make mama and papa proud"
Now those words feel like empty promises
Just a pretty bedtime story
Over twenty and still a beginner
Just one more in the crowd
Don't feel I'm near the first place
But I need to keep running
And another one bites the dust
And I don't want to be the next one
I've lost many positions already
I feel I need to keep running
No matter where I'm going
I need to get to the finish line
Before I end up without time
Fighting for the first place
At least, before some of my mates
I need to get to the finish line
So I'll feel I'm driving right
Then I'll feel I'm not wasting my life
Or won't I
I'm never looking straight, focusing on the road
I need to check if there's someone near me
Just do my best is never enough
Unless I'm at a comfortable lead
And my anxiety keeps yelling
There may be invisible drivers ahead
My hands can't stop sweating
My head's on fire but I don't care
And another one bites the dust
And I don't want to be the next one
I've lost many positions already
I feel I need to keep running
No matter where I'm going
I need to get to the finish line
Before I end up without time
Fighting for the first place
At least, before some of my mates
I need to get to the finish line
So I'll feel I'm driving right
Then I'll feel I'm not wasting my life
Or won't I
My parents told me they would be proud no matter what
And here I am still, driving to the point I may pass out
The need for the trophy used to be my fuel to glory
But right now I can't get out without listen the boos from the crowd
I feel I need to keep running
No matter where I'm going
I need to get to the finish line
Before I end up without time
Fighting for the first place
At least, before some of my mates
I need to get to the finish line
So I'll feel I'm driving right
Then I'll feel I'm not wasting my life
Or won't I

Ghost Island

I'll be back some day
When I'm all okay
There are shades of grey
I don't need to spread away
Not today
Got a plane to the most remote island
A one-way ticket, a last minute flight
Arrived at the land at midnight
There may be messages I haven't answered
I hope the bottles stay away from the tide
I don't want to pretend I'm alright
I'm overdramatic and I hate the drama
I'm furious, stressed, no patience for comma
I just need some rest, no crying for momma
Sorry I had to pretend I'm a ghost
I swear it's nothing personal
Unless you've tried to capture my soul
Just let me go
My energy bar has been so low
My aura needs to recover it's glow
And then, I'll go
I'll be back sometime
With the perfect rhyme
With a different kind
Of worries in my mind
The ones that make me smile
It's funny how I'm not adulting right
Apparently I should be picking every fight
I'm tired even to try say anything out loud
And perhaps I shouldn't hide from people and problems
But I think I'd better take some breath than being brutally honest
I'm overdramatic and I hate the drama
I'm furious, stressed, no patience for comma
I just need some rest, no crying for momma
Sorry I had to pretend I'm a ghost
I swear it's nothing personal
Unless you've tried to capture my soul
Just let me go
My energy bar has been so low
My aura needs to recover it's glow
And then, I'll go
I'll be back some day
When I'm all okay
There are shades of grey
I don't need to spread away
Not today
I'll be back sometime
With the perfect rhyme
With a different kind
Of worries in my mind
The ones that make me smile
Sorry I had to pretend I'm a ghost
I swear it's nothing personal
Unless you've tried to capture my soul
Just let me go
My energy bar has been so low
My aura needs to recover it's glow
And then, I'll go
Back to the places I walk
Back to the places I talk
Back to the beats of my heart

Catwalk Baby

(Walk, walk, catwalk baby)
Those boots were made for shine
That coat is calling all eyes
Pants fit on you so fine
Ultimate fancy style
The streets are your catwalk
walking like there's no flaw
However, you know what?
You can't fool me at all
I see the look in your eyes
You're not really satisfied
There's no reason to hide
Under all this cloth and walk walk catwalk baby
You look in control indeed
Royal, the king, the queen
All eyes on you easily
Cover in all magazines
You impose fear around town
'Cuz' that's how you call respect
How can you be so sure
If you can't respect yourself?
I see the look in your eyes
You're not really satisfied
There's no reason to hide
Under all this cloth and walk walk catwalk baby
What I wanna see
Is someone happier that used to be
There's no need to pretend
You need no new friend
You may be shy
Learned the world is cruel and mean
There's no need to be someone else
Just be yourself and go, don't just walk walk catwalk baby

Raw

It's kinda easy to write a song
You pick a few words and then you're done
Even more when I'm thinking on
What's has been in my mind for so long
Even easier is to say that I'm fine
I lie constantly, cuz I don't want to mind
I just try to go on with my life
Without evaluating if I'm alright
It's so hard to let my feelings free
Unless they're running away gently
It's so hard for me to read my own signs
That I may be crossing my own safety lines
I want to be rational, I want to be fair
And I end up not being so aware
That having feelings isn't a flaw
I'm still afraid of being raw
With the words I use, how raw am I
Compared with how I feel inside
I may regret singing this song
I may run away after I'm done
And the more I'm thinking on
I'm imaging already the outcome
People will worry if I'm that fine
They ask what's wrong, what's passing in my mind
And I'm trying to go on with my life
But people want to be sure if I'm all right
It's so hard to let my feelings free
Unless they're running away gently
It's so hard for me to read my own signs
That I may be crossing my own safety lines
I want to be rational, I want to be fair
And I end up not being so aware
That having feelings isn't a flaw
I'm still afraid of being raw
Sometimes I wish I was more open
With the ones I feel comfortable, at least
Maybe even outspoken
Saying "I love you" isn't like confessing to a priest
but tell all this to my mind
It's so used to be paranoid all the time
It's so used to analyze
If I said too much, I committed a crime
It's so hard to let my feelings free
Unless they're running away gently
It's so hard for me to read my own signs
That I may be crossing my own safety lines
I want to be rational, I want to be fair
And I end up not being so aware
That having feelings isn't a flaw
I'm still afraid of being raw

Beat

My friends say I walk too fast
I don't walk straight, I run away
Maybe I'm just manifesting the speed of my mind
They would tell me I needed some rest
"Don't exaggerate, I'll be okay"
But currently, my body likes to say otherwise
I wish I could be in different places at the same time
But as the physics laws don't wanna be on my side
I'll be...
Looking for my beat
Looking for my flow
Don't want to get sick
Just 'cuz' I've lost control
As I'm the one making the sound that moves me thru the city
Funny how people say we're all stressed
And complains all day everyone's so late
I think they forgot all their mates are human
And for I while, I forgot I was one
Thought I could program myself to run against the sun
Let's say now the sun's hotter than me
I wish I could be in different places at the same time
But as the physics law don't wanna be on my side
I'll be...
Looking for my beat
Looking for my flow
Don't want to get sick
Just 'cuz' I've lost control
As I'm the one making the sound that moves me thru the city
Don't stop, keep going
You can do it slower
I'll stop keep dancing
Before the night's over
Don't stop, keep going
While you feel younger
I'll stop keep working
When my body feels older

Dove Dance

We always say we have no time
It's been centuries we've been apart
Maybe since the start of time
And when we speak, we shout, we fight
It's like we're not even the same kind
We always want to be right
But we all know what happens if midnight comes
Shall we dance together?
Being inspired by Aether
Can we have a chance to talk?
Before we have no time on the clock?
Shall we dance together?
We should be closer now
We've been self-willed for too long
When we thought we were being brave
While nobody had what it takes
And we've been throwing everything away
Everything we fought to prevail
This can't be the end of the tale
'Cuz' we all know what happens if midnight comes
Shall we dance together?
Being inspired by Aether
Can we have a chance to talk?
Before we have no time on the clock?
Shall we dance together?
We should be closer now
I was hoping to see a white dove flying high today
Else I hope tomorrow is the day
I know some bandage take a while to alleviate
But I fear the clock can no longer wait
And we all know what happens if midnight comes
Shall we dance together?
Being inspired by Aether
Can we have a chance to talk?
Before we have no time on the clock?
Shall we dance together?
We should be closer now

The Impressionist

Do you see the real me?
I don't think so
You love geometry
What the Salon exposes
You love photographs with high resolutions
Rather believe on your brain's optical illusions
I'm not surprise you don't take time on your conclusions
I'm not static, I'm movement
With a wish for improvement
My techniques are not common sense
I seek ways to show light's presence
It's not a sketch, it's my masterpiece
It looks simple, I know
It's that the mondaine is interesting
I want to dig that hole
Most of us just want to escape reality
Because we feel suffocated by the world
While having the audacity
Of choking others so they keep the throne
I'm not static, I'm movement
With a wish for improvement
My techniques are not common sense
I seek ways to show light's presence
Call it an impression
Won't be an aggression
My point of view expressions
Wants to slap your snob digressions
