[Verse 1]
I will do
your interview
Try to
explain what I'm going through
Give you
something to read into
In a
million different ways
A sick
version of telephone
Starts at
the clip of the microphone
A game we
thought we had all outgrown
But still
everybody plays
[Chorus
1]
Ignoring
all of the remedies
Believing
all of the rumors
With
their endless database
I wanna
sit with my enemies
And say,
"We should have done this sooner"
While I
look them in the face
Maybe
that will crack the case
[Verse 2]
I got a
friend who's been thinking 'bout
Finally
kicking her husband out
His
second life as a talent scout
Finally
got him caught
While she
was throwing out all his clothes
She heard
a voice from beyond the throes
"Punish
him for the life he chose
But
forgive the past that he did not"
[Chorus
2]
It's
really hard to hate anyone
When you
know what they've lived through
And once
they've given you a taste
She said,
"This is for you to overcome
But I
will always love you"
In her
perfect state of grace
Maybe
that will crack the case
[Verse 3]
Now that
we're through with formalities
What is
it you wanna ask of me?
I'll
answer open and honestly
Whatever
that means
Finding
out that we occupy
Somebody
else's opposing side
On the
banks of some great divide
Two
versions of a dream
[Chorus
3]
Countless
revisions of history
Tryin' to
tell us the future
Between
each commercial break
I wanna
call off the cavalry
Declare
no winners or losers
And
forgive our shared mistakes
You can
pick the time and place
Maybe
that will crack the case
Some time ago I've asked some suggestions to talk about on
Construindo Uma Memória's Instagram (the English version of the blog is
Building A Memory, but the Instagram and Facebook have the Portuguese name). My
cousin and this blog's proof-reader, Vinícius Duarte, gave me not one nor two
but about five suggestions. I'm interchanging them and, finally, time to attend
one more.
All the songs he's suggested have a deep meaning. It
often gets me on what I'm feeling or lived recently. I can see the main focus
on this song is, once again, about forgiving. Check it out on the blog
the K7
#003 (playlist), Warrior
(Demi Lovato), Summer
of Darkness (Demon Hunter), and Forgiveness
(Joey Landreth), they all talk about this
subject in their way.
Our world is full of people bragging their achievements and proving
how themselves are the best in the world. They're drowning in their ego. But
that isn't how we're supposed to live. We live in a community that have other
beings with feelings, emotions, desires, dreams, opinions and even delusions,
as we have our own as well.
I like when the pastor of the church I go says that when one
forgives the most benefited in this process is the one who has forgiven because
you're taking off that weight you were carrying. If who receives the
forgiveness doesn't forgive, it's up to him or her.
Gossip. Probably you made some or were the victim of it, just like
the game "telephone" that is mentioned in the first verse. As the
story goes from one to one, in the end, the message is confusing nonsense. How
about stop playing this game and, as Psalms 23:5 suggests, sit with your
enemies, setting the table and finish all these problems? That is what Jesus
taught: forgive those who trespass against us. Not an easy task, but the
results are worth.
Are you ready to crack the case? We all commit mistakes and deserve
our punishment for it because, somehow, we acted consciously. But our past,
what shaped who we are, we didn't have an option, though we can transform the
way things go. Don't hesitate and be the change. Be the one to start forgiving!
