Sobre letras de músicas

No cursinho, minha carteira era fácil de reconhecer: no fim do dia, era a que estava escrita de ponta a ponta. Uma ou outra conta, raros desenhos, quem sabe uma citação ou pergunta sem resposta... e muitas, muitas letras de músicas. Ou trechos, pelo menos - com palavras destacadas por razões diversas. Eram músicas que não me saiam da cabeça, que eu acabara de conhecer, que eu não ouvia faz tempo, ou que representavam, naquela hora, parte do que eu pensava e/ou sentia.

Hoje, o máximo que sobrou disso foram os pedaços de música espalhados pelo caderno ("Ué, Alt, você não está copian... ah, tá, é música ¬¬"). E aí deu vontade de resgatar - não exatamente da mesma forma, mas enfim, taí ;)

"You have come here
in pursuit of your deepest urge,
in pursuit of that wish, which till now
has been silent...
Silent...

I have brought you, that our passions
may fuse and merge - in your mind
you've already succumbed to me
dropped all defences
completely succumbed to me
now you are here with me:
no second thoughts, you've decided...
Decided ...


Past the point of no return -
no backward glances:
our games of make-believe are at an end...
Past all thought of "if" or "when" -
no use resisting:
abandon thought,
and let the dream descend ...

What raging fire shall flood the soul
What rich desire unlocks its door
What sweet seduction lies before us?

Past the point of no return
The final threshold
What warm unspoken secrets
Will we learn
beyond the point of no return?

You have brought me
To that moment when words run dry
To that moment when speech disappears
Into silence...
Silence...

I have come here,
Hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind I've already imagined
Our bodies entwining
Defenseless and silent,
Now I am here with you
No second thoughts
I've decided...
Decided...

Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion-play has now at last begun.

Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait before we're one?

When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud burst into bloom
When will these flames at last consume us?

Past the point of no return
The final threshold
The bridge is crossed
So stand and watch it burn
We've passed the point of no return."

(The point of no return - The Phantom of the Opera)
