utterance, meaning

(Those moments that no one forgets, situations in which there is a failure of the associations that normally allow us to reflect our lives whole within our understanding, as though the two things were running along side by side and at the same speed - coming confusingly close to one another. (...) And there are other things too, governed by the incommensurability of experience and understanding. But it is always the case that we experience in one moment, whole and unquestioning, becomes incomprehensible and confused when we seek to bind it to our enduring ownership with the chains of thought. And what looks big and inhuman while our words reach it from afar, becomes simple and ceases to be unsettling the moment it enters our life's field of action.)

(pelo amor de Deus, pare! Pare de pensar! Abra os olhos! Veja! Deixe o mundo entrar!)

Ophelia

(Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt my love for you. Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky. I know this love of mine will never die, and I love him)

how many tomorrows gone

(and when I can hear again I'll know to listen for you sound)

I could lie and say

(like it like that, like it like that)

red thread

Os dias se tecem estranhos

tento não costurar mais nada

por hoje as pontas ficam soltas

me enrolo como um novelo 

eu penso em retalhos

mas somos apenas farrapos

Em mais uma trama dos dias

cold bones, cold sheets

 (does she know that we bleed the same? don't wanna cry but I break that way. if you bled, I bleed the same. if you're scared I'm on my way)

(it takes an ocean not to break)

worn into the vaguely announced

(the build up

lasted for days

lasted for weeks

lasted too long)
