lyrics

Graffiti

So many things begin and perhaps end as a game.I suppose that it amused you to find the sketch beside yours. Your own game had begun out of boredom, not really a protest against the state of things.

We've got to paint these walls, we got shitloads full of spray.
We'd like to be back sure the other day.
All this future can belong to me
When I take control back of this life today.

When the other one appeared you were almost afraid,
the danger has become double, someone like you had been moved
to have some fun on the brink of imprisonment
or something worse, you know what happens when they catch one

It was already dark night when the spotlights swept your eyes.
a confused crowding by the wall, and you saw all the struggle,
black hair pulled by gloved hands, the kicks and the screams,
the cut-off glimpse of blue slacks before they took her awaaaaaaaaaaay.

You saw „It hurts me too“, the writing on the wall.
later the violet splotches and an orange oval
where a swollen face seemed to leap out,
a hanging eye, a mouth and all smashed with fists.

We had to paint these walls, we had shitloads full of spray.
We'd like to be back sure the other day.
All this future can belong to me
When I take control back of this life today.

I know, I know, but what else could I have sketched for you? What message would have made any sense now? In some way I had to say farewell to you and at the same time ask you to continue. I had to leave you something before going back to my refuge where there was no mirror anymore, only a hollow to hide in until the end in the most complete darkness, remembering so many things and sometimes, as I had imagined your life, imagining that you were making other sketches, that you were going out at night to make other sketches.
Based on the story „Graffiti“ by Julio Cortázar
