Doubts
My story is nothing out of the ordinary
My parents weren’t doctors, nor thieves
Where I’m from, that was already something, y’know
The real celebrities for us were criminals
No conversation at a table, I don’t blame them
Working on and off,
eviction, two sons borne
And saying it is terrible,
it’s like we don’t know each other
What were they dreaming of? I can’t imagine
And now she’s my therapist,
she says that an ordinary life terrifies me
What if my family doesn’t have anything to do with this?
Years ago, fuck, I would’ve died from laughing
I don’t fear death, but i’m terrified of not living
(…Of not living?
Like your parents?
Is that what you think?
You think you’re living now that you’re successful?)
I played my cards right
The struggle for life is cruel but fascinating,
I made art out of it
I was part of it
Marracash, an older brother to his side
One who digs through reality,
fleeing from an overwhelming reality
Trying to make some money in the meantime
Despite all those bad years, and all the risks taken
Looking at those big problems become even bigger
the bad ones became good memories,
the worst ones, I removed from my memory
And all that’s left is doubts, doubts, doubts
Pounding doubts, doubts, doubts, doubts
Doubts, doubts, doubts
Pounding doubts, doubts, doubts, doubts
Years ago, I used to do cocaine a lot, now it’s rare
Still a slave to weed,
I have trouble falling asleep, more than anything else
I haven’t been able to sleep without pills
Since when, you ask?
More than 4 years
don’t judge me,
I know that the prescription said “4 weeks max”
I have weird mood swings and I don’t know what causes them
My mind lies, it finds new ways to deceive me
(Your brother has two beautiful sons, when’s your turn?)
Love? The “love” she talks about?
You mean squeezing something so hard ‘till it suffocates?
A game in which I hurt myself or someone else
I’m 40 years old and I’ve never seen a long-lasting relationship
I don’t need a motherly, sticky love, I don’t want it
I think it’s just a way to hide from the world
(Your brother has two beautiful sons, you will never have them
No one waits for you,
they don’t give a fuck about how you feel)
Also this… All of this
Is this what i really wanted?
I’ve been wondering all my life
Maybe i don’t believe in the product I sell anymore
Isn’t that a paradox,
that to be my real self
I’m forced to go where I don’t even recognize me
There must be something else, beyond the show off for the effort
From up here, I think I’ve sacrificed too many things
I love chaos, I hate when’s everything in control
I don’t want money to make me a rich man that doesn’t even know how to tie his own shoes
It’s evident, it’s happening even right now
Be happy, my conflict is going right in your pockets
(Stop it, don’t complain in your songs!)
Maybe making music is the only solution
Maybe there isn’t a hole that can contain your pain
Maybe there’s no escape that leads to evasion
Maybe I was made to be with the losers and the idealists
Maybe mental health is a rich man thing
Maybe to keep going
you have to stop listening to yourself
How do the others do it?
They seem so confident
And without doubts, doubts, doubts
Everyone without doubts, doubts, doubts, doubts,
Everyone, everyone, everyone
Everyone without doubts, doubts, doubts, doubts
I’ll take you on a trip, just me and you
But if we go private, i don’t mean the jet
There’s no destination, and I’m not sure if we’ll arrive (and where)
There’s no destination
In the blue
