Barefoot, White Dreams (Spotify Anniversary Version)
You belonged to an ancient race
Of barefoot souls and white dreams
You were dust, dust you are, remember
That iron is always soft when it’s hot
You bit the apple
And gave up paradise
And condemned a serpent
When you were the one who wanted it
For millennia and millennia
You stayed naked
And faced dinosaurs
Under a roof and without a shield
And now you’re here
Trying to be happy
When you didn’t give a damn about your fate
You belonged to an ancient race
Of barefoot souls and white dreams
You were dust, dust you are, remember
That iron is always soft when it’s hot
You built a perfect world
With finishes so precise
Everything calculated
In its space and in its time
I, who am a complete mess
The ins and outs
The names and the measurements
Don’t fit in my head
And now you’re here
Trying to be happy
When you didn’t give a damn about your fate
You belonged to an ancient race
Of barefoot souls and white dreams
You were dust, dust you are, remember
That iron is always soft when it’s hot
Say hi to the neighbor, go to bed on time
Work every day just to live life
And only answer what’s asked and feel just this
And may God protect us from bad thoughts
Complete your tasks, go to school
What would the family say if you’re a failure?
And always wear shoes, don’t make noise at the table
Wear sheer stockings and a tie at parties
Women always marry before thirty
If not, they’ll wear saints, even if they don’t want to
And at the quinceañera, it’s best not to forget
A fine champagne and dance the waltz well
And dance the waltz well
