OPIO Lyrics English Translation by Kendo Kaponi
And I say this from personal experience
No matter how much it hurts
At some point it’ll pass
And it’ll pass like the oaths I broke
Like the promises that, the promises I never kept
And it’ll pass, it’ll pass or it’ll kill you
Or the best, I never got to see the sky face to face
And before I see that everything will die, let’s manage to see each other inside
Because I managed to get in through the back door
And remember those days when I was happy, but I didn’t know it
I don’t know since what age death let me off the hook
I just know I failed, and that victory was already sold
A story decided with a shared date
But that’s how for the first time I left death undressed
And at twenty-something, I don’t remember, but I know
That looking for money I lost my faith
And that was my life, unprotected, I was falling
Watching the times I threw myself off
But from heaven someone begged and cried for my life
And asked for me to get an extended version
I made the fame with the date already expired
And the options of being someone, all restricted
Life destroyed, and still I gave it
A spin around the world showing these wounds
And that demolished me, but it equaled
Them saying: “An orphan made it”
He stood out, he got it, they said I pulled it off
And I never told them, but telling was always
That thing I kept quiet, but it also hurt
Opium, they told me it was negative
I still used it and abused it
Like a possessive demon
At a disadvantage, they tore my brother into pieces
And next to his grave I buried the one who killed him, but without a casket
I’ve cried until I feel my soul thunder
I’ve asked God: “Lord, why don’t You intervene?”
The plane failed, and you don’t fail the one who holds you up
Tell Movie I love him, and though I know he’s not coming back
He left with the family trying to save the kid
From the fire, from the impact, the path I imagine is abstract
And the extract of luck is a rotten road
I tied my soul to God, his salvation is through his blood a new covenant
You repent and you’re saved the moment before death and you make contact, whoa
Damn, Pacho, I know sometimes I disappoint you in things
While you wait for more from me, I ignore you, I take my time
You betting on me, on me, who always lets you down
And so I see you sad because of me, and I break into pieces
Damn, Dad, I miss you so much that I think you’re not here anymore and I distort
Dad, the last favor, talk to God about how I work
That when I don’t understand Him, I don’t push
And if I feel He fails me, my voice goes quiet, but I never betray Him
That without love I never mention Him, but because of Eme’s death, yours, and the kid’s
I don’t forgive, heaven sounds however it sounds, and I don’t give a damn about what’s convenient
Just like I get chills, let paradise burn for all I care, ah
My friend opium, they told me it was negative
I still used it and abused it like a possessive demon
The blame is on that poison I use to forget memories I tear down
Opium, I use it when I write
Opium, I use it while I live
Opium, I use it if I can’t get it, my friend
I’m the hardest in the lexicon, I’ve been anorexic, and the bad way I write is because I’m dyslexic
I drag my life to the top and I split myself in twenty and I shake
Unreleased and I understand I didn’t understand everything, but you know why the hell I have success
I’m The Demon of Ink, eternal saint, son of Jehovah, the one of the armies
I exercise the mind or I avoid them, or I pull out the 22, autopilot and I put them to sleep
Juana Mato’ adopted me, behind me Pacho bet on me
Kid, I don’t know what all this opium cost that kinda toasted me
And I don’t keep going because I don’t even know what I’m saying, nah
My friend opium, they told me it was negative
I still used it and abused it like a possessive demon
The blame is on that poison I use to forget memories I tear down
Opium, I use it when I write
Opium, I use it while I live
Opium, I use it if I can’t get it, my friend
And we’ll look back, and we’ll stare at those days
Because neither of us knew
That having so little we were happy
Scientists call it an “anomaly”
Frandux, gambit’s hand
Zachiel, poison for life
Tell me, skinny
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Opium, I use it if I can’t get it, my friend
