Wave and Ruin
Abismo Cavado e Medicado
Never both at the same time
Never my whole face all at once
When someone's watching, I'm just the mask
When no one's looking, I become a storm
No one ever knows the whole me
Just a piece at a time, never the truth
A wave when no one's watching
A particle when someone decides to measure
I never knew which version was real
Both together would make me disappear
Maybe no one lied
Maybe we just see what we want to see
Wave and ruin, never both together
Never my entire face all at once
I show the part that suits me
And I call that being who I am, maybe
But every mask has a hidden price
And I pay with everything I've ever been
Now I understand what happens
You can't observe without changing what you see
Every time they try to understand me completely
One of the versions hides again
Wave and ruin, never both together
Never my entire face at once
I show the part that suits me
And I call that being who I am, perhaps
But every mask has a hidden price
And I pay with everything I once was
There is no measure without loss
There is no gaze without ruin
They wanted to see me all at once
And I lost myself trying to be whole in the lie
Wave and ruin, never both together
Never my entire face all at once
I show the part that suits me
And I call that being who I might be
But every mask has a hidden price
And I pay with everything I once was
Never both things at the same time
Never my whole face all at once
