Right Where it Belongs – NIN

Nada de especial. Esta música é muito conhecida, mas hoje, de uma forma inexplicável, invadiu completamente os meus pensamentos. Entrou pelo dia adentro “ao acaso”, saida de um cd que tirei aleatoriamente da caixa e que tinha o sugestivo nome de “Feeling Weird” (eu tenho a mania de dar nome aos cds de compilações que faço…). A tocar no carro. Primeira música: Right Where It Belongs. Não sei quais são as outras. Só ouvi esta, o dia todo, de forma obsessiva. As pessoas pareciam-me sombras que desfilavam ao meu lado e os ruídos, sons longínquos e sem sentido. Esta música, hoje, roubou-me a alma. Por isso a deixo aqui, na esperança vã de me libertar destas palavras…

See the animal in his cage that you built,
Are you sure what side you’re on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye,
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built,
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart,
And it’s all… right where it belongs

What if everything around you,
Isn’t quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself… find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world’s inside of your head?
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you’re really all alone
You can live in this illusion,
You can choose to believe.
You keep looking but you can’t find the woods,
While you’re hiding in the trees

What if everything around you,
Isn’t quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is that all you want to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself… find yourself afraid to see?
