THE SECRET GARDEN
This is a song which talks about an anxious and surrealistic love, where you need to have everything under control, and you can take your love to the secret garden of your dreams.
 
 

I am only dreaming so don´t bother me at all
and you keep moving closer closer to my heart
you are surely hiding a secret I should know
let me love you twice today, tomorrow I don´t know... what I´ll do

I am only waiting so please c´mon back to me
I am only sleeping to recover from the beat
you are surely hiding a secret I should know
let me love you twice today, tomorrow I don´t know... what I´ll do

Babe (babe) let me tell you (telling you)
what (what) I´m doing now (doing now)
babe (babe) let me take you (taking you)
to the secret garden of my dreams
to the secret garden of my...

SUCCESS
This song talks about success, but worked success, not the lucky one. The need of growing up and fighting for it, trying to write pages in the hard rock´n´roll jungle, with the only strength of your dreams and to become just one day and know that everything you do is useful and it´s not a waste of time.

I want to see that all I do ain´t gonna be a waste of time
I´d like to write someday a page in the book of rock´n´roll story

Growing up now (growing now)
Working for success today

I want to know that in my life there´s gonna be a star that leads me
I´m gonna be forever young and build myself a wonderful story

CRAZY LITTLE SNOWGIRL
This song talks about opposite feelings, and the need to get away off them, looking for new senations in the dreams world and relaxing emotions like being flying.

And if you tried to be more conscious
it would be easier to forget...
and if you wanted all or nothing
my crazy little snowgirl (little snowgirl)

But if I have to do what I am told
I don´t want to go
I feel as if I was dreaming
And if I have to live inside the cold
I will have to moan
I feel as if I was flying

Tell me something I can understand
give me something I can feel
the kind of things that you know I like
my crazy liitle snowgirl (little snowgirl)

I feel as if I was flying...

I BROKE THE GLASS
This song talks about the sensation of breaking a glass, which means something like giving the first step ahead, and being brave, moving, acting, being fed up and with the need of doing something interesting and let nobody can stop you from making your dreams come true, and the need of finding someone who shares your same dreams and help you to reach your dreams.
 
 

...and maybe I´m a dreamer... but I´m not the only one...

I want to see that thing that hides behind the yellow curtain
I want to realize that someone hides and I don´t mind
but I still cannot recognize you

I broke the glass into a million pieces
and now I can realize that nothing´s going to stop me now
I broke the glass and maybe I need someone else
to get a way and find the way to learn that we can grow together

I saw you in the distance and you disappeared so quickly
I called in the evening... as I got home, picked up the phone...
I didn´t want to lose you, baby

I broke the glass and spent the night-time holding you
and now I can realize that nothing´s going to stop me now
I broke the glass and spent the night-time kissing you
to get away and find the way to learn that we can grow together

STUPID GIRL(The Newsies)
This song talks about feelings, despair,... of those times when everything goes wrong and turns confused. It talks about wandering and wasting time.

Everything is going wrong because my baby left me
every night I lay awake thinking about you, honey
every time the phone rings like a police siren
I wish somebody´d come along... along...

And I always lose my mind when I´m fine...
every night I lay awake dull affairs...
you´d better stop the siren like a stupid girl...
you´d better stop the siren, girl... my girl...

And I always waste my time
in a winter´s garden, like a stupid girl
And I´m making up my mind
like a police siren, like a stupid girl
And I´m making up my mind
like a police siren... Stupid girl!!

And I always lose my mind when I´m fine...
You´d better stop the siren, girl... my girl...

YOUR LOVE, IT LIES(Gene)

While chimneys seep
my room is dark, the wardrobe sees you sleep
there´s nothing here that rumbles from our street
and I´m left wanting more...

I´ve tried to ask
while sleeping down your mouth began to gasp:
"Oh, look at that, I think I´d better pass"
so I´m left wanting more...

Given time and a cheap dark room
and I will show you all the love and wonder... you could buy

This town lies calm
the low sun climbs and if you give me time
I´ll take your arms and tend you like a vine
still left wanting more...

Your love, it lies
those hands deny the hatred in your eyes
so turn that down and give me a reply
but I´m left wanting more...

All great loves of this world
are cast asunder because here comes my thunder
just for tonight, no need to buy

PRETEND
This song talks about the necessity of pretending to get whatever we want in this such competitive society, and sometimes we need to perform some roles that we don´t like just to get something. But when we want to get a girl, then we can´t pretend and we´re ourselves, and it´s all so sad...

I pretend that I am trying deep and closer
to forget the ribbons of my soul
but the time has made me feel that there´s no other
way to show, to show your bones instead

I´m always trying to pretend
that this is just the way
but when I am in front of you
I can´t behave as I would like, it´s all so sad...

I pretend that I am always laughing
since I understand that everything is wrong
I will send all my love to everybody
just in case someone sends me too

SOMEBODY FINDS SOMEONE SOMEWHERE SOMEDAY
This is a positive song that talks about hope. Nothing is impossible to get, and you can get whatever you want, but in the most unexpected moment and at the most unexpected place. You only have to be patient.

Somebody finds someone somewhere someday...

Somebody finds someone somewhere someday
Somebody finds someone somewhere someday
You know it´s just a long ago since you don´t have a brand new friend
you think you´ve nothing to do now, wait for a better day to come
Somebody finds someone somewhere someday
Somebody finds someone somewhere someday

The other day I saw you breaking down in tears
while you were waiting for a better song to hear
just somebody new to meet
just somebody new to see

IRELAND
This song talks about getting away and flying over Ireland, and enjoying the sensations of being flying over those wonderful landscapes, although I´d like to go to London, but sometimes you have to resign yourself to imagine that city or the place of your dreams, and feel the sensation of imaging this.

I should have gone
though London is my dream
and I´ve never been
but surely I am going there someday

Life here´s strange
always doing the same
and I miss the rain...
so I want to go there with you again

Nothing matters
nothing´s done
flying Ireland... someday...
