Notes For You!

 You ready?… Take a sit, Grab a coffee and put on a chill moody song. 

Okay, I was your age, about your age ago

The transition to adulthood is slippery in the corners,

Becoming a man: there is no training, no retake,

Now you’re in the deep end of the pool, guess how to swim,

You’ll always have some kind of rage, wanting to go out to sea,

To beat down the guys who play guitar on the beach.

It’s like every time you move house, it’s a world that falls apart,

Look, history is written by turning the pages

Listen to

I took a few notes

If you feel like no one understands you, it’s because no one understands you

It’s easier to cope once you figure that out.

How can you blame them? You don’t understand yourself either,

Often alone with your problems, often you’re the problem.

Most of adult typo are shitty cliches,

Because they didn’t understand the game, but they follow the rules,

So don’t listen to your parents too much, just pretend you do,

They are not all-knowing, you’re their first child,

You’d be wasting so much time fighting.

There’s fights you can’t win, especially when you don’t pay the rent.

Just accept it, there’s very little reason to mess around

In your own house, even when you’re right.

If there’s one thing you don’t have to question,

You’re smarter than you used to be, but you’re still a dumb ass,

You’re too sensitive, you experience everything like an aggression,

Ask a madman if he’s crazy and you’ll see what he answers.

Another thing you need to know is that you’re not gonna have sex tonight,

Once you figure that out, it’ll take a load off your hands.

Because you’re way too hungry and it’s gonna show.

Because you’re far too shy, you’re going to drink far too much.

Learn to shut up, you’ll look mysterious,

Learn to sell yourself a little better, you’ll have sex in a month or two.

It’s always the same kind of girl you fall in love with

You know, the kind of girl that makes you unhappy.

So don’t be a crybaby on the day she breaks your heart,

Over the long haul, you save yourself a lot of tears

Then you’ll be afraid to get involved, you’ll think it’s better elsewhere,

Than at home, you’re gonna miss the best part of what you already have.

Basically, you have sex with your girlfriend thinking about another girl

You didn’t like it,

You think about her when you have sex with the other girl once she left you.

Okay

You’ll never stop people from talking,

And, since you’re a weirdo, maybe you’ll manage to get people to beat you up,

You can do push-ups, you can learn how to fight

But even muscular, it still hurts to take a punch.

Your brain and your ego are working backwards,

The more you try to prove something, the less you succeed,

When you say you’re not scared, it’s because you’re scared,

When you say you’re not in pain, it’s because you start to feel the pain.

Know your height, don’t overrate yourself

You’ll see, sometimes you’ll lose against guys you thought were crap.

Of course, life is unfair

If you don’t like laws, don’t be a fucking judge

Don’t believe the insults, you can be a bastard whatever the race

To be a son of a bitch, you don’t have to have a hooker for a mother

You don’t have to be gay to be a bugger

The more you react, the more it looks like you’re being targeted, let it slide.

The best jokes are the meanest or the dumbest

But the worst human beings are cruel losers

Don’t pick on the weak, keep the jokes in a corner of your head

It’ll fit into a text, a movie or a sketch

…

School’s a pain in the ass, not much you can do about it,

Stopping means leaving too soon for another misery

Throw your school bag in the air, you’ll have the weight of society on your shoulders,

A boss, your father and mother

Three-quarters of the lessons are useless

But the porn actresses are witnesses to it: skipping school does nothing but delay the end,

You say we’ll see, you play the smart guy, but you’re fragile

Like screening, you’re sorry about the test

School is a filter that makes everything very boring

Like black-and-white movies: the hardest part is getting into them

It’s harder when you’re apprehensive, like your first time

I’ve been using sexual metaphors all the way because you only think about that

Think of the Latinas as the hottest chicks in the world

Listen in Spanish, think about chemistry, you could do drugs

Stop memorizing things you didn’t understand

And in philosophy, you weren’t supposed to tell your life story

Oh, yeah, no one’s forcing you to smoke weed

Actually, it works better on hyperactive people

Being stoned isn’t even your favorite part of it

When you’re high, all you do is pretend to be clean

The part you like best is to go with your gang to a garden Center

To steal bamboo and make a bong.

You just need a passion!

So listen carefully to the guidance counselors and do the opposite of what they’ll say.

Basically, all the stuff that people say, “You’re wasting your time”,

You need to get really into it and hang in there for a long time.

If you want to make movies, you just need a recording device

Saying, “I don’t have any gear or no contact, “is a victim thing

We’ll tell you to be first, never to be happy.

First, it’s for those who need a grade, who have no self-confidence

You’re at the point in your life where you can become whatever you want to be,

The same time where it’s the hardest to know what you want!

…

Besides hanging out with your crew,

Especially not missing the last rumor, the last funny thing

Honestly, you wouldn’t miss much if you left for four years.

Whatever, it’s important, do shit while there’s still time

So you won’t wake up one day when you’re 40

Like, “Shit, I’m gonna die, but never had real fun,

My family won’t let me live, I’m gonna have to leave them,

To snort snow in a nightclub, find some young girls to vampirize”

I see a lot of them, so, you little terrorist boy, go have a ball

Come out in the evening even though, I confess, you’re gonna get flunked

You’ll be back next week or the year after that

You know, you weren’t gonna fuck tonight if I have to remind you.

If you’re coming home, take a picture of your locker room ticket

Realize that you don’t know how to drink, you’re getting wasted too soon,

When it gets to be a pride to gulp big shots,

That means you are getting worked up over nothing,

Stop freaking out, if you want to, go dance.

The only rule on the track is, don’t do things you’ve never tried before

If you ever fall asleep first in a party

Lookin’ into the mirror, that’s the basics as soon as you get up it might spare you

A family dinner with a cock drawn on your cheek,

Those family dinners where you’re bored, where they talk really loudly

To say some very banal things, we’re already talking to each other and it’s not bad.

Truths are complicated, cliches are stable

Sorry if not everyone around the table is an expert

You can’t get over other people’s faults, and that’s your worst flaw

Life is cycles, that’s why I use the same words

…

Don’t be paranoid about who your real friends are

There’s only one way to find out: let time sort it out

I’ve never regretted asking for advice or calling someone

Often you think they’re weird, it’s just that the reception is poor.

The same story has a lot of versions!

The best way to get out of a mess is to ask questions,

Stop spending your life running away, anxious about the future,

Because there’s nothing you can do to prepare for the worst.

Like bombings, bad news strikes when you don’t expect them,

Some family members in a bit of a hurry will leave before you do,

You’ll see happy people taking a call 

Their faces break down and nothing is ever the same,

There’s nothing to do but be there

Dressing wounds, changing bandages, the only cure is time

…

There are never enough lessons to live better

to avoid all worries and die happy

You’re a new experiment, things we’ll be different

you need to figure it out by yourself

wherever the wind blows you, use your heart and mind. 

most of all remember No one makes it alone,

that love gives life a higher meaning,

Make time for feeling, for learning, for beauty, for stories and mostly for Yourself.

Feel the Earth’s soil and Live.
