lyrics

Every time you feel too damn secure,
every time you feel too full of yourself,
take a healthy dose of pain,
it will ground you and make a better man of you.
Caress softly your grandfather´s beret,
remember how he used to take you in his arms,
sing you songs and slip money in your pocket
every time your mom and dad weren´t watching.
How many times did you go to see him in the hospital? Just once.
This healthy dose of pain will straighten you up.

Every time you feel too damn secure,
everytime you feel less human,
take a healty dose of pain,
it will ground you and make a better man of you.
Take a look at your parents´ faces,
notice the lines that are formed up there,
each one stands for every night
they´ve been waiting for you with all the lights on.
Now you know you don´t have too much time left
to give them any more crap.
Take a look at those photos
that you took with your lover on the summer of 2000,
he looks sexy and boy you do look happy
but where is he now?
And if that´s not enough
listen to all those mixtapes
a good friend of yours gave you back in the nineties,
you had plans of crossing Europe by train
and growing up together.
If only you had understood,
if only you had understood
if only you had understood how sad she was
she´d still be in your life now.

You´re the latest addition
in all those things that make me sigh,
I call you up from time to time
just to listen to the distance in your voice,
it´s then I know
things don´t always work the way we´d want
but this healthy dose of pain gives me strength
to carry on!
It gives me strength to carry on,
it gives me strength to carry on,
it gives me strength to carry on,
it makes of me a better man for sure.

about

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain

Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
