...Pressure and Performance ...

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

... isto já é outra coisa...

Yeah, I look in the mirror and I see a ghost of who I used to be

But that ghost is screaming that he's finally free

It's not about the medals, it's not about the fame

It's about the kid who refused to stay the same

Listen

 

Lace them up tight till the ankles don't move

Step on the ice with a point to prove

Cold mist rising from the edge of the blade

History's written in the marks that I made

They said it was impossible, a vertical flight

But I'm catching lightning in the middle of the night

Gravity is just a theory that I'm breaking today

Watch the glitter on the vest while the orchestra plays

I’m the architect of motion and the master of the spin

Feel the crowd hold their breath when the jump begins

Every rotation is a revolution found

In the space of a second, six inches off the ground

I put the work in when the lights were all dimmed

Now I'm reaching for the cup while it's filled to the brim

 

I am the Quad God gliding through the fire

Pushing the limit taking everything higher

Art in the edge work, grace in the landing

I’m the only one left who is truly outstanding

I am the Quad God, king of the rink

Gone in a flash in the time that you blink

Gold on the horizon and ice in my veins

Breaking the spirit of the physics and chains

 

You see the glory but you don't see the falls

You don't see the bruising or the cracks in the walls

I had to rebuild the engine from the scrap on the floor

Every time I failed, I just wanted it more

They count me out, they say I'm past my prime

But I'm the one who's redefined the concept of time

Four revolutions in the blink of an eye

Tell the critics and the skeptics to look at the sky

'Cause I'm soaring, I'm weighted by nothing at all

I learned how to fly 'cause I wasn't afraid to crawl

Now the ice is my canvas and the blade is my pen

And I'll write this masterpiece again and again

 

I am the Quad God gliding through the fire

Pushing the limit taking everything higher

Art in the edge work, grace in the landing

I’m the only one left who is truly outstanding

I am the Quad God, king of the rink

Gone in a flash in the time that you blink

Gold on the horizon and ice in my veins

Breaking the spirit of the physics and chainsYeah, breaking the chains

I told you I was coming for the crown

Don't look down

Never look down

Quad God.

... uma espécie de endeusamento ...

espero que não acabe mal...

... mas que é um caso de estudo na modalidade, é:

... Men Short Program...

 

... de um menino Grande.

cresceu muito desde os olímpicos. mais sereno, com pouco deslumbramento e mais obstinado que nunca.

bom fim de semana com toneladas de 🌞🌞

... segura-te bem!...

 

... tens 20 anos(em 2025) e escolheste uma vida difícil... ninguém merece...

I got tears in my eyes

And fall lines

And my love is late

And you know that I was

But you know that I get

You're no salve or sake

 

And I got leaves in my eyes

And formalized

And my love is late

 

And you know that I was

In my karma eyes

And my love is saved

 

And you know that I was

So easy on you

But I found my way

And I got plenty things

That I wanna see

But you got a say

And I got leaves in my eyes

And my ears and my toes

I might fall away

 

But I want you

When I need you

When I'm fighting for a way

 

And I caught a list, I

Fall in a lie

You know that it's sight away

 

Feels in my eyes

And I know that I

Must come away

 

You got tears in my eyes

And I bought a lie

And you know that I’ll float away

You got fire as knives

And I find a release

And I'll fly away

 

Hold on tight

Hold on tight

... olá escuridão, minha velha amiga...

 

Hello darkness, my old friend (hello)

Knocking at my door again

Beggin' me to come outside

Let you back into my life

Now, usually I'd be strong enough

To lock the doors and keep 'em shut

But not today, I'm desperate (desperate)

So go ahead and come on in

So go ahead and come on in

So go ahead and come on in

OCD is worse than ever, hands are bleedin'

Maybe I should take the pills, don't (whoa)

Know what's goin' on with me

Some days I actually think I might be schizo- (whoa)

Phrenic, prolly not, but even writin' this

Is makin' me begin to spiral, oh, God (oh, oh, oh)

Made a promise, told myself I wouldn't let the fear back in

But then I did, though (whoa)

Told the world that I was sick of runnin'

Then went back to runnin', what a joke (whoa)

Disappointed, yeah, me too

I thought I finally had finally made a breakthrough, guess not (oh, oh, oh)

It's the same song and dance, you've all seen it before

Darkness holds out his hand, then we walk to the floor

Every decision made isn't mine anymore

Like a puppet with strings, I just don't have a choice

What's the truth? What's a lie?

Help me, God, help me, Lord

Face your fears, dry your eyes

Grandma died, what's the point?

Lost the keys, lost my hope, lost my will, lost my joy

Lost a friend, lost my home, lost my faith, lost my voice

Standing back, watching my mansion burn to ash while I

Hold the gas can, asking God if He started this fire

Is this what You wanted? Is this what You wanted?

Make all my hopes and my dreams come to life just to lay them to rest

Is this what You wanted? Is this what You wanted?

Give me a false sense of peace just to show me what peace really is

Is this what You wanted?

On the verge, on the edge

(Is this what You wanted?)

Petrified, scared to death

(Is this what You wanted?)

Prayin' to God, desperate

(Is this what You wanted, what You wanted?)

(Is this what You wanted?)

Hangin' on by a thread

(Is this what You wanted?)

Empty heart, nothin' left

(Is this what You wanted?)

Breakin' down, spiralin'

(Is this what You wanted, what You wanted?)

(Is this what You wanted?)

Standing back (is this what You wanted?)

Watching my mansion (is this what You wanted?)

Burn to ash (is this what You wanted?) While I (oh, oh, oh)

(What You wanted, is this what You wanted?)

Hold the gas (is this what You wanted?) Can

Asking God if (is this what You wanted?)

He started this fire (is this what You wanted, what You wanted?)

O Renascimento do espírito olímpico...

 

... porque o que importa são as pessoas.

a sensação de falhar faz crescer muito e torna-nos resistentes. os pais/treinadores irão amparar os cacos e fazê-lo aproveitar o que deve aprender com isto. aos 21 anos é muito bom que isto tenha acontecido. lidar com o estrelato e com o sucesso tem que tem estes contrabalanços, porque podem embriagar-se e pensar que são os quadgods deste mundo. sentir DOR é fundamental desde que acompanhada.

para quem tem perfeccionistas em casa, sabe bem o que isto é...

... Legacy on Ice...

 

... onde os estados unidos da américa nos bate a todos. 28 pessoas estavam ligadas à patinagem. eles juntam-se para os recordar.

este menino (21 anos) é um caso sério.

Hope

Yeah, I'm on my way, I'm coming

Don't, don't lose faith in me

I know you've been waitin'

I know you've been prayin' for my soul

Hope, hope

Thirty years you been draggin' your feet

Tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant

Thirty years you've been claiming you're honest

And promising progress, well, where's it at?

I don't want you to feel like a failure (failure)

I know this hurts

But I gave you your chance to deliver (deliver)

Now it's my turn

Don't get me wrong, Nate, you've had a great run

But it's time to give the people somethin' different

So without further ado, I'd

Like to introduce my

(My album, my album, my album, my album, my album, my album, my album)

Hope

What's my definition of success? (Of success)

Listening to what your heart says (your heart says)

Standing up for what you know is (is)

Right, while everybody else is (is)

Tucking their tail between their legs (okay)

What's my definition of success? (Of success)

Creating something no one else can (else can)

Being brave enough to dream big (big)

Grindin' when you're told to just quit (quit)

Giving more when you got nothin' left (left)

It's a person that'll take a chance on

Something they were told could never happen

It's a person that can see the bright side through the dark times when there ain't one

It's when someone who ain't never had nothin'

Ain't afraid to walk away from more profit

'Cause they'd rather do somethin' that they really love and take the pay cut

It's a person that would never waver

Or change who they are

Just to try and gain some credibility

So they could feel accepted by a stranger

It's a person that can take the failures in their life and turn them into motivation

It's believing in yourself when no one else does, it's amazing

What a little bit of faith can do if you don't even believe in you

Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to?

I done did things that I regret

I done said things I can't take back

Was a lost soul at a crossroad who had no hope but I changed that

I spent years of my life holdin' on to things I never should've kept, full of hatred

Years of my life carryin' a lot of baggage that I should've walked away from

Years of my life wishin' I was someone different, lookin' for some validation

Years of my life tryna fill the void, pretending I was in

They get it

Growing pain's a necessary evil

Difficult to go through, yes, but beneficial

Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing

Which on one hand, I agree with

On the other hand, it was the push I needed

To get help and start the healing process, see

If I'd have never hit rock bottom

Would I be the person that I am today?

I don't believe so

I'm a prime example of what happens when you choose to not accept defeat and face your demons

Took me thirty years to realize that if you want to get the opportunity

To be the greatest version of yourself

Sometimes you got to be someone you're not to hear the voice of reason

Having kids will make you really take a step back and look in the mirror

At least for me that's what it did, I

Wake up every day and pick my son up, hold him in my arms

And let him know he's loved (loved)

Standing by the window questioning if dad is ever going to show up (up)

Isn't something he's gon' have to worry about

Don't get it twisted, that wasn't a shot

Mama, I forgive you

I just don't want him to grow up thinkin' that he'll never be enough

Thirty years of running, thirty years of searching

Thirty years of hurting, thirty years of pain

Thirty years of fearful, thirty years of anger

Thirty years of empty, thirty years of shame

Thirty years of broken, thirty years of anguish

Thirty years of hopeless, thirty years of (hey)

Thirty years of never, thirty years of maybe

Thirty years of later, thirty years of fake

Thirty years of hollow, thirty years of sorrow

Thirty years of darkness, thirty years of (Nate)

Thirty years of baggage, thirty years of sadness

Thirty years of stagnant, thirty years of chains

Thirty years of anxious, thirty years of suffering

Thirty years of torment, thirty years of (wait)

Thirty years of bitter, thirty years of lonely

Thirty years of pushing everyone away

(You'll never evolve) I know I can change

(We are not enough) we are not the same

(You don't have the heart) you don't have the strength

(You don't have the will) you don't have the faith

(You'll never be loved, you'll never be safe

Might as well give up) not running away

(You don't have the guts) you're the one afraid

I'm the one in charge

I'm taking the (no)

I'm taking the
