1. NEIGHBOURS OF MY FEAR
Letra: Sam Azura | Música: Rogério Godinho
Fala da turbulência interna que muitas vezes surge nas nossas cabeças, dos medos que nos prendem, do parece e não é, das desconfianças sobre nós próprios. Mas há sempre que manter o foco e força interior que nos mantém ou coloca nos carris certos, acreditando na nossa essência e naquilo que realmente somos.
My pain plays an encore
There are oceans I long for
Got handed the wrong shore
Sand is quick
There is traffic in my soul
My hand's hot, but I fold
My presence is troubled
Rolling away on my own
I just want a symphony
But I'm out of key
I held these hopes so high
Now I wonder why
The voices that I hear
Are neighbours of my fear
But you are always here
Dragging me out of this town
The voices that I hear
Are neighbours of my fear
But you are always here
Reminding me of my own sound
2. RESET
Letra: Rogério Godinho, Ana Stilwell, Manuela Quaresma | Música: Rogério Godinho
Fala sobre a necessidade de mudança pessoal, de cada um. Porque o tempo não pára. Quebrar rotinas que já não fazem sentido é imperativo para voltar a viver. E, para isso, é necessário arriscar e sentirmo-nos confortáveis a caminhar nesse arame, para chegarmos a algo melhor.
I was like a pet
of my own fears
Trained to respect, playing fetch for years
Stuck on a Merry-go-round, I hold on
No new land in sight to turn to
My mind goes numb
I really need to wake up
I’ve been fooling myself, now I see
The clock has no time for me
And life goes on
whether I’m trapped or free
It’s time for something new
A new attitude
I have to change the routine of my shoes
To make dreams come true,
Feel at ease on the edge,
before a real breakthrough
I want a reset
I need to move on
It’s time for something new
A new attitude
I have to change the routine of my shoes
To make dreams come true, feel at ease on the edge,
Before a real breakthrough
It’s time for something new
A new attitude
I need to change the colour of my blues
Let the cyclone move towards my regrets
And make everything brand new
3. WE CHANGE
Letra e Música: Rogério Godinho
Fala da mudança como algo natural. Cada dia que passa, ficamos diferentes. A cada pessoa sábia que conhecemos, ficamos diferentes. Cada experiência, boa ou menos boa, molda-nos. Acima de tudo, buscando o crescimento enquanto pessoa, vivendo a nossa verdade.
No return
On our way
It’s a thing
We should learn
All we do
Every step
Any thought
Makes us strong or weak
No matter right or wrong
But it’s true
So true - We change
Wise men say
Wise men show
How can someone grow? “Be true to your own”!
Every morning you look in the mirror
You maybe don't see it
You’re not the same guy anymore
So the past
Has just passed
Go ahead
And leave what weighs you down
Stay aware
Use your flair
And ease your life
By braving all your strifes
Awaking all your aims
Forgetting worthless claims
Embracing love and faith
Life is not a race
But when you realise it
You’ll be nothing more than a memory
4. LOVE IS ART
Letra: Sam Azura | Música: Rogério Godinho
Este tema fala sobre amor e separação. As relações têm, muitas vezes, momentos conturbados mas, se há amor, este permanece, ainda que possa ser de outra forma.
Silence is the only servant when I’m trying
To explain the thing that came along
And caused our parting
Yeah, we fell apart
But now we ́re making art
We fell apart
Cause our hearts are mosaics
We were in pieces, now we ́re at peace.
Cause our hearts are mosaics
Yes, we were in pieces, now we ́re at peace.
But if it’s real it can never lose its root
We longed for the past and looked outside
And now we root
For all the things that were
I guess that life ain’t fair
For all the things that were
Cause our hearts are mosaics
We were in pieces, now we ́re at peace.
Cause our hearts are mosaics
Yes, we were in pieces, now we're at peace.
5. SOS PLANET
Letra: Sam Azura | Música: Rogério Godinho
Um alerta para a Humanidade sobre a sua acção destrutiva para com a Terra e, consequentemente, para si mesmo. Como se fosse o último Homem na Terra a falar com ela.
You showed me green
You showed me blue
I showed you nothing tho' I knew
Rivers of greed flow into dust
Now look at me - why did you trust?
Our handshake hid my treacheries
I turned your landscape into a memory
The word "enough" was the enemy
I cut you out of centuries
I had a rib cage of ice
I guess I now know the price
Ain't no song that'll make you sing
You were the soil, I am the sin
You passed the keys
I burned down the doors
You were made for peace
I was made for wars
6. ONCE UPON A TIME
Letra e Música: Rogério Godinho
Fala de um mundo que não existe, que nunca existiu e que, muito provavelmente, nunca vai existir. Um mundo em que o respeito pelo ser humano impera, o bom-senso, em que as pessoas e povos se entre-ajudam e vivem em comunhão.
É como se estivesse a contar uma história - “Close your eyes and live this fantasy!” .
E no final a mensagem é que se cada pessoa passar esta ideia de mundo aos seus amigos, MUDANDO o seu micro-mundo, talvez se consiga uma mudança mais ampla e sensível no Macro.
A mensagem de esperança.
Once upon a time
A world where you don't feel alone
Once upon a time
A world where no one claims a throne
Greed and wars have no space
Close your eyes and live this fantasy!
Once upon a time
A world where culture is “the thing”
Once upon a time
A world where freedom doesn't sleep
Stopping navel-gazing tics
There's more time to help and to be held
Where respect has no colour
And where love has no gender
Where the game is not rigged
With no walls killing wills
Where people are more than numbers
Where “likes” go to science
Where what's fake has no clients
Where the media don't lie
And where all can climb high
Where people are more than puppets
Now that the fairytale is over
Open your eyes, and believe
That by sharing this story with all of your friends Maybe the world could be better... someday
