Satellites

lyrics

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.

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
