JUEVES - LYRICS ("Self Control – Laura Branigan")

- Self Control – Laura Branigan
 
Oh, the night is my world,
city light painted girl.
In the day nothing matters,
it's the night time that flatters.
In the night, no control.
Through the wall something's breaking,
wearing white as you're walkin'
down the street of my soul.
 
You take my self, you take my self-control.
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self-control.
 
Another night, another day goes by.
I never stop myself to wonder why
you help me to forget to play my role.
You take my self, you take my self-control.
 
I, I live among the creatures of the night.
I haven't got the will to try and fight
against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it,
that tomorrow never comes.
 
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream.
I know the night is not as it would seem.
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it.
This night will never go.
 
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
 
Oh, the night is my world,
city light painted girl.
In the day nothing matters,
it's the night time that flatters.
 
You take my self, you take my self-control.
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self-control.
 
I, I live among the creatures of the night.
I haven't got the will to try and fight
against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it,
that tomorrow never comes.
 
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream.
I know the night is not as it would seem.
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it.
This night will never go.
 
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
 
You take my self, you take my self-control.
You take my self, you take my self-control.
You take my self, you take my self-control. (x3)
 
I, I live among the creatures of the night.
I haven't got the will to try and fight
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream.
I know the night is not as it would seem.
 
You take my self, you take my self-control.
You take my self, you take my self-control.
You take my self, you take my self-control.
 
- Notas: La canción habla de una mujer que por el día tiene que representar un papel, ajustándose a las normas y a las rígidas imposiciones sociales que le asfixian y no le permiten ser ella misma, pero que por la noche cambia totalmente puesto que en la noche es cuando se ve libre, y puede actuar sin inhibiciones perdiendo todo el autocontrol que tiene que tener durante el día. La cantante se ve así liberada por la noche, acabando seducida por dicha vida nocturna, que parece compartir con alguien que consigue hacer perder ese autocontrol.
- 1. “…flatters …” = Si bien normalmente se usa para indicar el halagar a una persona con un cumplido o gesto, en este caso se usa con la acepción de favorecer, como la noche, que favorece las situaciones que vive la protagonista de la canción.
