These lyrics have been running through my head a lot lately. The song is on my "Canciones del año 24" mix which will be complete in July. I think about it whenever I realize that I'm trying to talk to someone who doesn't have anything to say (anything to teach me). I want to talk to people who engage my thoughts and beliefs; I have no time for people who are not adding to my knowledge or understanding. So these lyrics, to me, echo the song "Psychokiller" by the Talking Heads, especially their line, "You start a conversation--you can't even finish it. You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything. When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again?" Those are my sentiments in a nutshell. If you all haven't heard this song, GO FIND IT. It's worth it. If you want me to email it to you, let me know.
"Meantime" by The Futureheads
I wasn't laughing properly, when you were talking to me 
I didn't find it funny, your story didn't do it for me 
False conversations, false conversations 
And you thought that I was joking when I said you were a moron 
When I said it I was smiling, so you thought that I was joking 
It's easy to try. it's easy any time 
We can talk if we like 
Let's forget it for the meantime 
False conversations, a waste of time, false conversations 
It's not interesting to have false conversations 
You've stolen all your stories and I don't have the patience 
It's easy to try, it's easy any time 
We can talk if we like 
Let's forget it for the meantime 
It's easy to try, it's easy any time 
We can talk if we like 
Let's forget it for the meantime 
You are a decent person and you have a function 
So why do we say hello? it's just a fashion that we follow that we should be forgetting 
But then you do it again, you do the same again 
You are a decent person and you have a function 
So why do we say hello? it's just a fashion that we follow that we should be forgetting 
It's a fashion that we follow that we should be forgetting 
It's a fashion that we follow that we should be forgetting 
But then you do it again, you do the same again 
It's easy to try, it's easy any time 
We can talk if we like 
Let's forget it for the meantime 
It's easy to try, it's easy any time 
We can talk if we like 
Let's forget it for the meantime
¡No me mires!
                      -
                    
Me cuesta mantener la mirada, siempre me costó.
Me cuesta porque sé que, cuando miro a alguien a los ojos, digo demasiado. 
Sin abrir la boca, digo demasi...
