Pace is the Trick

Hoje enquanto corria veio de repente na minha cabeça a seguinte palavra:

Pace noun
1 the speed at which something happens or is done: The pace of technological change incresead steadily during the 20th century. The course allows students to progress at their own pace.
2 the speed at which you move: We wandered along at a leisurely pace.
3 a step that you take when you walk or run: I took a few paces toward her.


O que me fez lembrar também de uma música do Interpol, uma banda de Nova Iorque, chamada Pace is the Trick cuja letra transcrevo abaixo:

Pace is the Trick

You can't hold it too tight, these matters of security
You don't have to be wound so tight, smoking on the balcony
There's such sleaze in the park
And women, you have no self-control
The angels remark outside, you are known for insatiable needs
I don't know a thing

I've seen love and I follow the speed in the starlight
I've seen love and I follow the speed when the stars swept by

Yeah, pace is the trick
And to all the destruction in man
Well, I see you as you take your pride, my lioness
Your defenses seem wise, I cannot press
And detentions are demise, my lioness
Can't you hurt it some?
I think I hurt it

I've seen love and I follow the speed in the starlight
I've seen love and I follow the speed when the stars swept by

And now I select you, (slow now I let you)
See how I stun
See how I stun
And now I select you, (slow now I bet you)
See how I stun
See how I stun

And to all the destruction in man
And to all the corruption in my hand

And now I select you, (slow now I let you)
See how I stun
See how I stun
And now I select you, (slow now I bet you)
See how I stun
See how I stun

And now I select you, (slow now I let you)
(I've seen love)
See how I stun
See how I stun
And now I select you, (slow now I bet you)
I follow the speed when the stars swept by

You don't hold a candle
You don't hold a candle
You don't hold a candle
