Somatizando

Somatizing (Juan Subirá)

Your hands were aching,
your legs were hurting,
your eyes were sore,
you didn’t want to look.
Dreams have all faded,
the plants have dried up,
the balloons have popped,
the truth has awakened.

Your whole body turned into
an old recipe
of pains you don’t know
who the hell invented.
Your soul fell apart
and no one wanted to fix it.
Malaria ate you alive,
you're like a rag on the floor.

Lift your spirits,
get your act together,
because if you don’t step up
your life’s gonna fall apart.
You didn’t want scraps
from someone else’s life,
but it wasn’t enough
to make you happy.

No matter how hard you try,
your face won’t change
where a fierce
anxiety is drilled in.
One day madness bit
your heels and kept on
waving its cruel flag
like everything’s just fine.

And the hits leave scars,
and it hurts to show them.
No one ever talks about it,
or you can’t find the words.
Pain gets stuck in your throat,
your veins are about to burst,
and the sorrow stretches
that sleeps in your heart.

THEY SAY YOU'RE SOMATIZING,
I SEE YOU'RE IN BAD SHAPE.
