Will I have my seat on space right out of this illusion? So I can contemplate life from another vision Open minds free binded souls that cry for such a revelation, such a revolution… Free ourselves So tell me, will we reach the end? Take your seat & place it carefully The children sing our memories It’s now just frozen, my true north, our shipwrecks, the water in my lungs Our ghosts fill up this hollow home There’s poison right here in our waters, drink up, drink up I suggest we stop feeding ourselves with vanity & selfishness or we’ll rot to death.

Mnemonics 03:40
Love, wake up. I’ve watched the sun for way to long For all we know, life sails away & leaves a note Memories won’t fade; they will just mess with time Learn to travel well, meet your mind. Bring back those days, when we used to have it all Lovely evenings, lovely nights, the glare is right before my eyes How should I know my tired eyes would let it show? My tired mind would sing blue notes Bring back the days when we were free

Radio Waves 04:07
This place is where the giants roam The jury said: “soon we’ll all be gone” This for the earth that wants to fall asleep Now they’re all staring, but no one dares to speak Watch out for the wolves, even they feel alone, walking dead end roads. There are rumors of silent inglorious wars You’ve lost mind, you’ve lost your sight Shake your hands with fate, go fight your fight Oh death don’t bother me tonight Do you want peace? Go fight your fight For death feeds, go find courage You dead boys, wake up alive! They will raise a white flag Deaf people listen closely, end to the modern world! We live for explanations, but nothing in return We’re yelling out there is a war The crowd is marching to its grave Watch out for the wolves, even they feel alone, walking dead end roads We carry the burdens, and not with the purpose of selling ourselves to our enemies. To the faces that haunt me regardless of time & place, never forget me!

Lotus 04:45
Can you feel the warmth of my hands over yours? Can you hear my voice? As we spin in circles We run against the cycle of humanity Surrounded by empty waterfalls Wrapped up in blankets to fight the cold And there is no saying what can’t be done because time is so surreal In circles we run against the cycle of humanity (x2) We’ll be free, our bones will echo gracefully We’ll see the light We’ll be free, my heartbeat creates a melody I see the light Hopefully, the stars will come get you And you’ll sing the main song Oh darling, I hope that you find your soul The hand that stole your death is at your door

Libidinal 03:53
Una ecuación, otra dimensión, verbo en aerosol; nervios se queman creando el esquema Una ilusión, un cielo gris En su ausencia nace una virtud que explica la raíz de un mundo de papel Un mercado de piel Un pretexto moral que esconde lo animal Desnuda, estar de toda acción, de toda hipertensión Remuevo un velo tóxico de un ser excéntrico De un ser dinámico, de un disfraz de plástico Release the creature, release the love; there is one in all of us. De una tímida aurora que va hacia un portal a una fase caótica Una cápsula de paz que esteriliza falacias eróticas Muéstrame un volcán, la dulce mermelada de tu ser Vuelve a despertar sentidos, sonidos interrumpidos Realidad, cierro mis ojos, puedo ver… Puedo ver, perspectiva animal, la estética social de un mundo gris.

I. Lure There’s something wrong with weed that I smoked last night But your cigarettes poured a scent of death, brought a deathbed to me Waking demons out of a casket Another glass of wine, appealing, so divine Fill the room with smoke as I’m drowning 10:45, broke up a saint’s delight, bathing in rivers with half heart stolen Don’t stop kissing baby, don’t stop teasing, stop the killing ‘cuz you’re a lure There I was on my knees while she was shaking her hips all around me Yeah, you know I’m under her spell; it’s such a devilish game She’s in the back of my head II. Ambivalence Pack up, baby we’re leaving soon There’s got to be empty beds on the moon It’s our little dark spot Usually we’d go down to the store, have our little chat and drink Then go outside and behave like beasts If only one thing led us wrong we would be perfect Maybe tonight is on you If only nothing led us wrong we would stay perfect Maybe tonight is on you Before we go, let me rethink If the sky falls tonight would I still want to be here? If the sky falls tonight, would I still want you here? III. Shape of love Back and forth we go; it’s not our fault we get along with democracy, its hypocrisy We could stay awake all night, telling lies about who we are, but it’s not in me, its hypocrisy So pull me out alive She knows the world is under the shade of friendly monsters She knows it all; it grows on you With both hands on our shoulders, we make each other wonder about the shape of love

Satellites 05:16
Find our way, while giants are awake, we can’t seem to find our way The sun is out to get me now We don’t seem to understand they will want to make us bow Tomorrow never seems to end This is slavery; could this be it? Nothing more than deathbed days Is this it? Is this it for you and me? Tell me, did we fall asleep? We’ll be fine with bites around our ship The sea has drowned our souls and our friends Will nature be the death of our disgrace? Can we come back home? Can we end this curse? Are we out here alone? Are you holding my bones? Where is our goal? I think it’s just myself, once more against this whole barrel of guns Our hope is dull but I will build a bridge and pray we don’t drown under it From our very birth we are stolen and haunted by white ghosts that wash away our hopes until our eyes are closed. My throat still tastes like fire, from a song I barely know. I’ve been walking; I’ve been trying to forget those burning notes. I tried to hold this ship together, but the battle grew too strong. We are tossed by waves and attacked by captivating cannibals. There is so much we could do, but these waters are neck deep. I hope we learn to love, and I pray we learn to swim. So hold on tight, so we can understand each other; our hands entwined, we’re finally helping one another. Our spines grow stronger, our hearts together, no longer lost in a transitory weather. Satellites that bring us all together, feeding from a love source that makes us all be better. We are satellites.

about

Paremia Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico

Paremia is: Manuel Fuentes

This started on 2010, when I began to write my own songs and proceeded to record them. Basically, this is me enjoying the freedom of art through music, not getting stuck under a music genre or message. Art will always remind humanity what freedom is, and music will never cease to show the blessings of human nature. This is what Paremia is to me. ... more
