The Lifting

El Levantamiento

The Lifting

Enraizado, 5 A.M.Grounded, 5 A.M.
la luz nocturna reconforta,the nitelite is comforting,
pero la gravedad te retiene.but gravity is holding you.

Una vez que te has acomodado para dormirOnce settled into sleep
has visto, en repetición,you have watched, on repeat,
la historia de tu vidathe story of your life
a lo largo del techo;across the ceiling;
y en revisión,and in review,

Has dicho que el aire cantabaYou've said the air was singing
Te llama, no creesIt's calling you, you don't believe
en estas cosas que nunca has vistothese things you've never seen

'Buenos días, ¿cómo estás?"Good morning, and how are you?
El clima está bien, el cielo está azul -The weather's fine, the sky is blue -
es perfecto para nuestro seminario...'it's perfect for our seminar..."

'Ahora cierra los ojos,"Now close your eyes,
y comienza a respirar.and start to breathe.
Permite que el ruido se desvanezca...Allow the noise to recede...
...permítete desvanecerte y volar lejos.'...allow yourself to drift and fly away."
Pero solo te quedas.But you just stay.

Has dicho que el aire cantabaYou've said the air was singing
Te llama, no creesIt's calling you, you don't believe
en estas cosas que nunca has visto, nunca soñado.these things you've never seen, never dreamed.

¿Escuchaste esas voces llamando?Did you hear these voices calling

Encerrado en la sala de conferencias,Locked into the conference room,
'Solo somos lo que nuestras mentes asumen...'"We're only what our minds assume..."
y la racionalidad te está abandonando.and rationale is leaving you.

Esta idea, estos sistemas de creencias,This conceit, these systems of belief,
tu consejero está de acuerdo,your counselor agrees,
'Siempre has marcado estos límites, ahora eres libre...'"You've always marked these boundaries, now you're free..."
y con alivio.and with relief.

Has dicho que el aire cantabaYou've said the air was singing
Te llama, no creesIt's calling you, you don't believe
en estas cosas que nunca has visto, nunca escuchado, nunca soñado.these things you've never seen, never heard, never dreamed.

Has dicho que el aire cantabaYou've said the air was singing
Te llama, no creesIt's calling you, you don't believe
en estas cosas que nunca has vistothese things you've never seen

Nunca, nunca, nunca.Never, never, never.

Una vez tuviste un sueñoOnce you had a dream
de océanos y ciudades hundidas;of oceans, and sunken cities;
recuerdos de cosas que nunca has conocidomemories of things you've never known
y que nunca has conocidoand you have never known
