Canciones para una vida - Queensryche - Eyes Of A Stranger

 

EYES  OF  A  STRANGER

 "Operation Mindcrime" es una de esas obras en las que parece haber un consenso a la hora de reconocerla como uno de los momentos cumbre de la historia de la banda estadounidense Queensryche. Estamos en el año 1988, y muchos grupos toman caminos diferentes siguiendo las nuevas tendencias y mezclándolas a su antojo o según sus necesidades compositivas, Queensryche utilizó siempre muchos elementos diferentes para crear su propia salsa, con ingrediente de heavy metal clásico, de sonido progresivo y de hard rock, casi a partes iguales, siempre con la esencia de fondo de la escuela americana. Como digo, en este particular de lo referente a la obra hay un consenso casi general de la altura total a la que brilla, y yo no puedo sino unirme a esa idea, casi al azar cada tema que se elija será un acierto, hoy por ejemplo la espectacular "Eyes of a stranger" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare [Lies behind my stare]

How many times must I live this tragedy
How many more lies will they tell me
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, and for how long

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare
