Segundos Fuera

I was still for a few moments with my wings quiet
Lost in labyrinths of I don't know, maybe, perhaps
On a cloud like a watercolor
I was giving myself those answers that shouldn't be given
Just that brief moment to take a break
To suddenly feel a betrayal under my feet
The fire of a lightning bolt burned my legs
The wings were saved and I don't really know why

To live
Ready for battle
Seconds out, seconds out
Because today, I'm still here
Here

I was still for a few moments with the sail lowered
Lost in labyrinths of 'who am I and where am I going'
Believing that the sea was undressing in calmness
I jumped into its humidities and declared my love to it
Just that brief moment to return to the water
To feel enveloped by the winds of a cyclone
The hatred of the waves diverted my boat
I followed the course that an albatross marked for me

I was still for a few moments with my guard down
Lost in labyrinths of 'am I one, two, or three?'
Absorbed in that doubt, I didn't hear the bell
Or maybe its toll was evoking my childhood
Just that brief moment to return home
To feel a low blow that made me fall
The canvas kissed me, biting some coins
The strength of that blow helped me stand up
