Ontem tive o prazer de assistir ao concerto dos Muse no Pavilhão Atlântico e todos os adjectivos são poucos para descrever aquelas duas horas de espectáculo. O som e a musicalidade são de uma qualidade que muito poucos conseguem atingir. Mas o que impressiona mesmo é corropio de emoções que os Muse nos conseguem transmitir, é impossível ficar indiferente.
"Uprising" abriu o concerto como seria de esperar e o refrão a vermelho no écran gigante, ecoa nos nossos ouvidos: «They will not force us/ They will stop degrading us/ They will not control us/We will be victorious». Arrepiante no mínimo! Resistimos e nascemos de novo. E porque é que não percebemos que quando sangramos, sangramos da mesma forma? Nesta altura somos sugados para um buraco negro... «they are breaking through/ they are breaking through/ now we are falling/we are losing control/ Invisible to all/ The mind becomes a wall».
Mas nós queremos mais. Chama-se "Hysteria", pedem-nos o coração e a alma e nós damos! «Grating me/ And twisting me around/ Yeah I'm endlessly/ Caving in/ And turning inside out». E também há inquietação, «must we do as you're told?». E logo da inquietação, os Muse nos levam ao que a vida tem de bom e é impossível não nos sentirmos bem... «the fish in the sea/they know I feel/ it's a new day/ it's a new life for me!». Não falta a paixão, há uma luz que nos guia, revelam-se undisclosed desires: «I want to reconcile the violence in your heart/ I want to recognise your beauty is not just a mask/ I want to exorcise the demons from your past/I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart» e não é isso que nós queremos?Ligados à corrente, electrificados, o nosso tempo está a terminar, mas ainda há tempo para um alerta: «I am hungry for some unrest/ I want to push this beyond a peaceful protest/ I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand». E poderá ser mais claro que isto:
They'll laugh as they watch us fall The lucky don't care at all No chance for fate It's unnatural selection I want the truth
Nesta altura alguma coisa de sublime já se atingiu, com tal corropio de emoções. O concerto está no fim, mas os Muse gostam de sempre de terminar com "Knights of Cydonia". Porquê? Eu acho que é para não nos esquecermos disto:
Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive
The wavelength gently grows Coercive notions re-evolve A universe is trapped inside a tear it resonates the core creates unnatural laws replaces love and happiness with fear
how much deception can you take how many lies will you create how much longer until you break your mind's about to fall
and they are breaking through they are breaking through they are breaking through we are losing control they are breaking through they are breaking through they are breaking through now we are falling we are losing control Invisible to all The mind becomes a wall All of history deleted with one stroke
how much deception can you take how many lies will you create how much longer until you break your mind's about to fall and they are breaking through they are breaking through they are breaking through now we are falling we are losing control
They'll laugh as they watch us fall The lucky don't care at all No chance for fate It's unnatural selection I want the truth
I am hungry for some unrest I want to push this beyond a peaceful protest I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand
Dedication, to a new age Is this the end of destruction and rampage? Another chance to erase then repeat it again
Counter balance this commotion We're not droplets in the ocean
They'll laugh as they watch us fall The lucky don't care at all No chance for fate It's unnatural selection I want the truth
No religion or mind virus' Is there a hope that the facts will ever find us Just make sure that your are looking out for number 1
I am hungry for an unrest Lets push this beyond a peaceful protest I wanna speak in a language that you will understand
Counter balance this commotion We're not droplets in the ocean
They'll laugh as they watch us crawl The lucky don't share at all No hope for fate, its a random chance selection I want the truth
Try to ride out the storm Whilst they'll make you believe, That they are the special ones, (we have not been chosen)
Injustice is the norm You won't be the first and you know you won't be the last
Counter balance this commotion We're not droplets in the ocean
They'll laugh as they watch us fall The lucky don't care at all No chance for fate It's unnatural selection I want the truth, I want the truth I want the truth, I want the truth
Paranoia is in bloom, The PR transmissions will resume They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down And hope that, we will never see the truth around (so come on) Another promise, another seed Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed And all the, Green belts wrapped around our minds And endless, red tape to keep the truth confined (so come on)
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious so come on
Interchanging mind control Come let the, revolution takes its toll If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye You'd see that We should never be afraid to die (so come on)
Rise up and take the power back It's time the fat cats had a heart attack They know that their time's coming to an end We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not enslave us We will be victorious
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They can not control us We will be victorious
. Corrupt You're corrupt Bring corruption to all that you touch Hold You behold And be holden for all that you've done And spin Cast a spell Cast a spell on the country you run And risk You will risk You will risk all their lives and their souls
And burn You will burn You will burn in hell, yeah you'll burn in hell You'll burn in hell Yeah you'll burn in hell For your sins
And our freedom's consuming itself What we've become It's contrary to what we want
Take a bow
Death You bring death, and destruction to all that you touch Pay You must pay You must pay for your crimes against the earth Yeah hex Feed the hex Feed the hex on the country you love
Now beg You will beg You will beg for their lives and their souls
Now burn You will burn You will burn in hell, yeah you'll burn in hell You'll burn in hell Yeah you'll burn in hell You'll burn in hell Yeah you'll burn in hell For your sins
Muse "Take A Bow" Album Black holes and revelations (2006)
Quando me dizem: "vem por aqui"!
Eu olho-os com olhos lassos,
Há, nos meus olhos,
ironias e cansacos,
E cruzo os bracos,
E nunca vou por ali...
E vos amais o que e facil!
Eu amo o Longe e a Miragem,
Amo os abismos, as torrentes, os desertos...
