La buhardilla

A modo de breve paréntesis entre relatos, quisiera reproducir aquí (sin ningún tipo de permiso, y por tanto a modo de bienintencionada violación de derechos de autor) un breve poema/recitativo incluido dentro del último trabajo de estudio de Nine Inch Nails, en concreto en su último y, en mi opinión, mejor tema, Zero-Sum. Tal vez en medio de un álbum errático en cuando a temática y conservador en cuanto a forma, estas frases fragmentadas y abiertas brillan con una luz difícil de pasar por alto (el énfasis es mío).

they’re starting to open up the sky
they’re starting to reach down through
and it feels like we’re living in that split-second
of a car crash
and time is slowing down
and if we only had a little more time
and this time
is all there is
do you remember the time we
and all the times we
and should have
and were going to
i know
and i know you remember
how we could justify it all
and we knew better
in our hearts we knew better
and we told ourselves it didn’t matter
and we chose to continue
and none of that matters anymore
in the hour of our twilight
and soon it will be all said and done
and we will all be back together as one
if we will continue at all

[…]

and i guess i just wanted to tell you
as the light starts to fade
that you are the reason
that i am not afraid
and i guess i just wanted to mention
as the heavens will fall
we will be together soon if we
will be anything at all
