Shahin Najafi "Around Us" lyrics

Around Us

when we opened our eyes

we were already tired of life

we didn't understand what happened

we grew old while we were young

they said,you are in a wrong path,Incredulity

But when did you answered my questions?

from the day we opened our eyes

there was a war

In my father's hand there was a gun instead of a pen

a part of life was always limp for us

the answer to each of our questions was a stone

let me tell the story for once

me and you,we know the pain and their roots

let me think that i'm a human for once

imagining that im in a positive society

let me forget that i've beaten in the head for 20 years

that I am scum and worthless

let me close my eyes in a moment at my sister

at her tears at the night and the hatred of my mother

let me close my eyes and say that i am happy

that i have Tomorrow and i am looking for it

you laugh in your ass if your fortunate

but life is something else for us,damn it

for us its a moments that passed in dreams

the tears of the red eyes full of blood

this is not life for us,its like dying

its like waking alive each morning and dying every night

like a officer with returned checks

dealing with poverty and misery

it's like holding your skirt

loosing ur Prestige in your hood and wanting to die

you should sell your body because you need money

if they beat you in the head

you remain quite life and payment of home

at the last days of month national Islamic solidarity

under the ruined roof

i told this to too many people no one responded

around us,its always night, a scary night

around us,even death is compensation

around us, its a collection of Misery

around us,everything is meaningless

around us a whore is a housewife

this is the only way for eating a dinner

around us,amity is lost

it's really hard to not feel ashamed of yourself

a place that meaning of human is under questions

living like a normal human is kinda impossible

a heavy load is on your shoulder

everyday there's always voices of fear and Suffocation of speech in your ears

around us,Murderers are studying at the universities

around us,it's weird,students are in prison

around us Nationality is a broken tableau identity

was a door that has been closed for 14 centuries

in our district people count half price

here,we are worthless than a dog

it has been a long time,beaten in head is habit for us

and the god who sees and laughs

here when u get sad,they suggest suicide as solution

here living is harder than dying
