Verdades a Medias

Aprendamos a mentir, a callar, a dar al mundo las verdades necesarias y a guardar silencio en el momento indicado. Durante años he sido una maquinita de autoexposición, he perdido el filtro, he buscado ser honesto pero andar con la verdad en la frente me ha traído más dolor que satisfacciones. Elegir la vía media es aprender también a guardar silencio y a dejar las verdades  completas para mí solo, dentro de mi propia cabeza. Una sociedad sin mentiras no podría sostenerse, ser absolutamente transparente hará tu vida imposible. Mirémonos a los ojos, en silencio, y quedémonos con las verdades incompartibles y aquello que el otro voluntariamente nos deja ver. Así estaremos tranquilos.

Policy of Truth - Depeche Mode (Violator - 1990)
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn´t you?
Now you´re not satisfied
With what you´re being put through
It´s just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you´d only lied
It´s too late to change events
It´s time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth

Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before

Now you´re standing there tongue tied
You´d better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You´ll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth

Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before
