alive. I'm rotting in my place. Life is nothing
more than passing time,’ and, maybe, most in-
teresting of all, ‘I wanna make mistakes and
live in regret.’
On the surface, these words may seem
quite negative, but Pau jumps at the opportu-
nity to reveal the true meaning to Black Velvet,
"I think it's a lot about the freedom we have
been talking about and wanting to live your
life. Even if that maybe means making tons of
mistakes and you're just not thinking about
that, just about what you want to do."
Ale adds, "It's about wanting to have that
liberty. To live life to the fullest until it makes
you sick. Like actively searching for things
which may hurt you, but will also make you
feel alive. But, remember you have the liberty
to do what you want with your life. You might
mess it up or it might be ok. but it is also part
of life to live those feelings."
It will likely come as little surprise that it's
a mantra which all three encourage others to
live by as well.
Ale shares, "I have this wonderful phrase,
that is, ‘My liberty starts and ends where other
people's liberty starts and ends.’ I can only do
so much with my freedom and whatever with-
out disrespecting someone else's freedom.
So, it's all about doing things respectfully, but,
for sure, doing what you want with your life.
