Ser Artista

Being an artist is shooting without bulletsSer artista es disparar sin balas
It's seeing life in the dead and flying without wingsEs ver vida en lo muerto y es volar sin alas
It's always standing, even when you don't feel like itEs siempre estar de pie, aunque ya no tengas ganas
It's being able to see the good, even in bad timesEs poder ver lo bueno, aunque se esté en las malas

Being an artist is creating a story, even if your story has already endedSer artista es hacer una historia, incluso si tu historia ya llegó a su fin
Being an artist is believing in glory when packing your dreams in a suitcaseSer artista es creer en la gloria al empacar tus sueños en un maletín

Being an artist is rhyming feelings using elements that no one else seesSer artista es rimar sentimientos usando elementos que más nadie ve

Being an artist is fucking with passionSer artista es follar con ganas
Always trusting time even if you have gray hairSiempre creerle al tiempo aunque ya tengas canas
It's making the nights your morningsEs hacer que las noches sean tus mañanas
Making your dark circles live like sistersLograr que tus ojeras vivan como hermanas

Being an artist is more than being the scum of what they claim to be good peopleSer artista es más que ser la escoria de lo que presumen ser gente de bien
Being an artist is not being afraid to knock on that door that a hundred others have knocked onSer artista no tenerle miedo a tocar esa puerta que tocaron cien

Being an artist and making your body resist even when the world insists on you being more like itSer artista y que el cuerpo resista aunque el mundo te insista en ser más como él

Being an artist is alsoSer artista es también
Always going against the trainSiempre ir al revés del tren
And believing in yourself even if a hundred say noY creer en ti aunque cien digan que no
It's adding color to yourselfEs poner color en ti
Even if today you're in black and whiteAunque hoy blanco y negro estés
It's making the world feel your voiceEs que el mundo sienta oyéndote la voz

Being an artist is dodging bulletsSer artista es esquivar las balas
From crazy contracts that clip your wingsDe los contratos crazy que cortan tus alas
Creating a shield in case you slipCrear una coraza por si te resbalas
And if the air runs out, you come back and exhaleY si se acaba el aire tú vuelves y exhalas

Being an artist is becoming optimistic even for the most pessimistic and helping them stand upSer artista es volver optimista hasta el más pesimista ponerlo de pie

It's adding color to yourselfEs poner color en ti
Even if today you're in black and whiteAunque hoy blanco y negro estés
It's making the world feel your voiceEs que el mundo sienta oyéndote la voz
