OPIUM

==Lyrics==
Filipino 	
Pipilitin kong ako ang 	I'll make sure
'yong makakasangga 	to be your accomplice (in crime)
Nakuha ang loob ng masa 	I snatched people's hearts
At ang tagumpay- nakakabigla! 	and the victories are- thrilling!
 	
Maaasahan mo ako 	You can count on me
mismo ang gagabay sa 'yo 	to guide you
Pero- 	But-
 	
Dahan-dahan, 	Be unhurried,
hinay-hinay lang, 	just be calm,
sa pagtingin 	upon gazing
sa'kin. 	at me.
 	
Laging bungad ng balita: 	The news always kicks off like:
Pang-hunghang, walang katuturan 	It’s for the delusional, there’s no sensible content
May hahabol pa ba? 	Is there anything else?
(Oh~!) 	
 	
Paulit-ulit na chismis, 	Repetitive gossip,
pambobong teleserye 	tv dramas for the dull-witted
na malalaos pagkatapos 	that will be out of date
ng isang buwan 	after a month
 	
Ano bang magagawa ko? 	What can I do?
Ako lang nakakapansin nito? 	Am I the only one who notices this?
Anak ng tinapa (Oh~) 	“Son of a smoked fish”A Tagalog expression of shock or amazement. (Oh~)
 	
Pakinggan mo silang pumuputak, 	Listen to them yap,
Puro bibig nalang, walang utak 	All mouths, no minds
Kikilos lang sa ngalan ng 	Blindly working solely for the sake of
kakatiting na ginto't pilak! 	infinitesimal gold and silver!
 	
Hindi ako pabor sa sistemang 	I’m not in favor of a system
Palaging ako nalang ang unang hahakbang 	that consistently requires me to make the initial move
Kumilos naman sila, 	Can they take action,
at mag-isip paminsan-minsan?! 	and think for once?
 	
A-anong petsa na! 	What date is it!A Tagalog phrase saying ‘it’s already so late’, and not a literal phrase nor a direct translation asking for the date.
 	
Di ako namamalik-mata, 	I’m not delusional
Ang mga salita mong kaaya-aya, 	Your eloquent, flowery words
Kasinungalingan lang pala 	Are merely deceit
Yan ang parusa ko? Pakawalan niyo nga 'ko! 	That’s my punishment? Release me!
(Oh~) 	
 	
Paano ba hihinaan ang lakas 	How do I diminish
ng mundong walang humpay sa ingay? (mundong walang humpay)	The world’s incessant clamor? (ceaseless noise of the world)
Dahan-dahan silaban ang nakaraan. 	Slowly burn the past.
 	
Pinuno ba talaga ako kung 	Am I truly a leader
pananahimik ang nais na gimik? 	if silence is my desired scheme?
Isinilang na tagapamahala, 'di makasabat 	I was born to be a commander, yet I struggle to respond with wit
mabuti pa kayang, mamayapa na lang 	It’s better to just, rest in peace
(Oh~!) 	
 	
Kaya ko namang lumaban, 	I’m capable of fighting
Hindi ako basta-basta aatras! 	I don’t easily yield!
Pero sa ngalan ng antok, 	Yet in the name of sleep,
Suntuka'y itutulog. 	I surrender combat to slumber.
 	
Wala, walang halaga 	None, it’s no use
kung namamagang bunganga'y 	if the swelling mouth kept
panay bigkas ng katotohanang 	speaking the truth
'di maririnig ninuman. 	that no one will ever hear.
 	
Manahimik ka 	Be quiet
Bakit pagdating sakin ay basta-basta? 	Why is it that in how I'm treated, things are merely mediocre?
Ba't di ka nagsalita 	Why didn't you
noong nangangailangan ng boses ang iba? 	raise your voice when others needed it?
(Ah~) 	
 	
Hindi ako pabor sa sistemang 	I’m not in favor of a system
Palaging ako nalang ang unang hahakbang 	that consistently requires me to make the initial move
Kumilos ka nama~a~an! 	Please do somethi~i~ing!
 	
Pipilitin kong ako ang 	I'll make sure
'yong makakasangga 	to be your accomplice (in crime)
Payapa na ang lahat, 	Everything became serene
Gawa ng aking kamay na napakabigat! 	With the help of my heavy hands
 	
Maaasahan mo ako 	You can count on me
mismo ang gagabay sa 'yo 	to guide you
Pero- 	But-
 	
Dahan-dahan, 	Slow
lang. 	down.
 	
Di ako namamalik-mata, 	I’m not delusional
Ang mga salita mong kaaya-aya, 	Your eloquent, flowery words
Kasinungalingan lang pala 	Are merely deceit
Yan ang parusa ko? Pakawalan niyo nga 'ko! 	That’s my punishment? Release me!
(Oh~) 	
 	
Paano ba hihinaan ang lakas 	How do I diminish
ng mundong walang humpay sa ingay? (mundong walang humpay)	The world’s incessant clamor? (ceaseless noise of the world)
Dahan-dahan silaban~! 	Slowly burn~!
 	
Habambuhay 'kong isusumpa 	I will forever curse
Sawang-sawa na magparaya! 	I’m so tired of tolerating things!
Napapagod din naman ako, 	I also get tired,
Yan ang parusa ko? Pakawalan niyo nga 'ko! 	That’s my punishment? Release me!
(Oh~) 	
 	
Paano ba hihinaan ang lakas 	How do I diminish
ng mundong walang humpay sa ingay? (mundong walang humpay)	The world’s incessant clamor? (ceaseless noise of the world)
 	
Dahan-dahan..? 	Slowly..?
