I posted the lyrics to this Mickey 3D's Respire video back in February of 2003. Were you here? Talk about me being oldskool... I will even dig up songs/videos dating 20 or even 30 years ago. Wait, did they have music videos back then?
Anyway, the translation is rough, and I forgot where exactly I copied it from. So if you've seen this before, well, hmm... maybe you can watch it again! heh! So that's it for now, I'll try to think of something more meaninful to say next time! :-)
Toodles n' have a great Tuesday! xoxo
BREATHE
Come here little one and listen to me
I'm going to tell you the story of being human
In the beginning there was nothing and in the beginning everything was good
Nature moved forward without the need for a path
Then man arrived with his big shoes
Giving kicks to the face in order to get respect
The one-way streets that he planned
Arrows multiplied across the plain
And all the elements were controlled
In two or three moments, the story was changed
Tomorrow is not the eve of when we will reverse our direction
We have even begun to foul the desertsYou have to breathe
And that's saying a lot
You aren't going to die from laughing
And that's saying a lotIn a few years, the last leaf will have been gobbled up
And your children will only have one eye in the middle of their foreheads
They will ask you why you have two eyes
And you will be passed off and as a fraud
They will say to you "How could you have let this happen?"
And you will defend yourself, telling them very quietly
"It isn't my fault, it was the fault of people in the past"
But there won't be anyone left to wash your hands
You will tell them about the times when you could eat fruit in the long grass of the meadows
When there were animals everywhere in the forest
And how in the springtime the birds would come backYou have to breathe
And that's saying a lot
You aren't going to die from laughing
And that's saying a lotYou have to breathe
And that's saying a lot
You aren't going to die from laughing
And that's saying a lotThe worst part of the story is that we are slaves
And sometimes we are assassins who cannot look at trees without feeling guilty
Half defrocked and 100 percent miserable
And so there you have the story of being human
It isn't very happy and I don't know what the ending is
You weren't born in a cabbage patch but rather in a hole that one fills up everyday like a pit of manureYou have to breathe
And that's saying a lot
You aren't going to die from laughing
And that's saying a lotIt's tomorrow that everything will worsen
You have to breathe
And that's saying a lot
You aren't going to die from laughing
And that's saying a lot

Great beat.
Pretty video. I remember running through the grassy fields, arms twisting about when I was a youngin'. Do you think people may find a grown man doing that odd?
