La realidad

"Just to get high" de Nickelback (de su nuevo album Black Horse) no deja indiferente a aquellos que busquen su dosis de realidad porque, seamos sinceros, hay mucha gente que sufre por las drogas, o bien porque las toman o bien porque estan cerca de alguien adicto. Y así Nickelback refleja de nuevo una cruda realidad que debería verse abandonada para siempre y que, por desgracia, no es así. Lo he vivido de primera mano... alguien muy cercano a mí ahora mismo está sufriendo las consecuencias de las drogas y doy gracias porque siga vivo aunque sea con los problemas mentales que estas sustancias le han producido... Él era alguien a quién respetaba mucho y quién me reveló la magia del maravilloso Tolkien cuando no era más que una cría, quién me hizo escuchar a Maná y a Bon Jovi, quién, de alguna manera, ayudó a cultivar quien soy ahora... y aunque le sigo queriendo, no puedo evitar joderme por dentro al pensar en todo lo que ha hecho y como se ha jodido la vida...


Just to get high - NICKELBACK

[Verse 1]
He was my best friend, I tried to help him, but he traded everything, for suffering, and found himself alone. I watched the lying, turn into hiding, with scars on both his lips, his fingertips... Were melted to the bone.

[Chorus]
But I can still remember what his face looked like, when I found him in an alley in the middle of the night. Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! Gonna do the trick, get it over with, you're better off... To take all you've got and burn it on the spot, to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).

[Verse 2]
Three days no sleeping, he gave up eating, he sold his mother's rings, she said nothing, and pretended not to know... He started stealing, to supply the feeling, found out he pulled a knife, on someone's wife... and held it to her throat.

[Extended Chorus]
But I can still remember what his face looked like, when I found him in an alley in the middle of the night. Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! Gonna do the trick, get it over with, you're better off... To take all you've got and burn it on the spot, to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).
Tell me what did, where you gone and hid? Show me...! What you really want, was it what you got? Slowly...! Circle in the drain, throw it all away, Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).
