All the beauty that we used to be

It’s over, it’s over

Burying flames of our eternity

We’re under the burden

Of our little insecurities,

We’re like pollen in the wind

Looking for a flower to die on

Wavering in discontent

Flapping wings as we look for another place to land

We’re tiring our feathers once again

But as I get rid of broken memories of your face

I feel much lighter

Little clouds of joy that we would breathe

Were what made us blunder

Running hand in hand and carelessly

On our hope we stumbled

Wearing out our sweetest souvenirs

Thrown like petals in the stream

Festival of new lives to plunge in

In which you’re a distant dream

Flapping wings as we look for another place to land

We’re tiring our feathers once again

But as I get rid of broken memories of your face

I feel much lighter

I’m lighter, I’m lighter…

I would have rested peacefully

Until the breeze would call me forth

Now snow is falling on this grief

I’m walking to my own bright sun

So why should I be looking back at you, now?

Flapping wings as we look for another place to land

We’re tiring our feathers once again

But as I get rid of broken memories of your face

I feel much lighter

Flapping wings as I look for a better place to land

I’m tiring my feathers once again

But as I get rid of broken memories of your face

I feel much lighter

I’m lighter, I’m lighter…

I should be at my piano writing songs

That’s what I better do

But I need to work to eat

Nobody’s paying my bills

People don’t buy my CDs

They listen to all music for free

Though they enjoy it

They don’t want to pay a fee

But how can I make more If I don’t have bread to eat

(Yes, he doesn’t have bread to eat) ^-v

How can I ignore my primary needs?

So if you want more, know that I am a human like you

(Yes, he’s a human like you) Scala a scendere 

This isn’t magic

I spent mo(*)ney and time on this

 (He spent money – and he spent time on this)

And I’m tired, yes I’m ti(*)red, 

(Yes, he’s tired, yes, he’s tired)

Of giving my skills for free

If you were me you would be

I reckon I’m quite good at this

Would you pardon my modesty?

I have studied for years

(People don’t buy his CDs)

As you’ve done for your degree

(They listen to all music for free)  

But why don’t I deserve any coin for my deeds

(Why don’t he get coins for his deeds?)

Have you ever heard that they don’t grow on trees

So if you want more, know that I am a human like you

(Yes, he’s a human like you)

This isn’t magic

I spent money and time on this

(He spent money and he spent time on this)

And I’m tired, yes I’m tired, 

(Yes, he’s tired, yes, he’s tired)

Of giving my skills for free

If you were me you would be

Yes I’m tired, after this twelve hour shift

Yes I’m tired of a job that doesn’t fit

Yes I’m tired of complaining about this

Yes I’m tired of people not giving a shit

Oooo

Yes I’m tired of all this competition

I’m tired subject to this position

I’m tired with no recognition

I’m tired of feeling shit

So if you want more, know that I am a human like you

This isn’t magic

(It isn’t magic, no no no no!)

I spent money and time on this

(This isn’t magic, it isn’t, no no!)

And I’m tired ohohoh yes i’m tired, 

Of giving my skills for free

If you were me you would be

(If you were me you would be)

So if you want more, know that I am a human like you

(Yes, he’s a human like you)

This isn’t magic

I spent money and time on this

(He spent money and he spent time on this)

And I’m tired, yes I’m tired, 

(Yes, he’s tired, yes, he’s tired)

Of giving my skills for free

If you were me you would be

Raindrops tick on the window,
This day is sleepwalking off
Clear rivers on the sidewalks
Dragging little precious cobblestones

And we beat on,
We’re just like little boats against the current
Hither and yon
We’re getting soaked, soaked to the skin

And all we feel is this ardent openness
And all we need is the consent
To do everything we can before it is too dark
To do everything we want,
Just not so fast

‘cause it is a little fast

Reflections of this skyline
bravely spur inhibitions
These clouds seem to be waiting
for us to dive into the breeze

So we fly off, 

We are like coloured moths towards the sunlight
Can we move on 

Without the fire burning our scales?

And all we feel is this ardent openness
And all we need is the consent
To do everything we can before it is too late
To do everything we want
Just not so fast
‘cause it is a little fast

Take me into another land

I’m drowning in this tidal mental head

When I’m looking too far away

I just can’t see what is right here

I keep stumbling along the way

Reveries take me so high

I don’t have a place to hide

Can somebody see these lights?

Guess I’m not the only one

So I keep going round and round

I wonder where I’ve lost my crown

I need to rest upon my throne

I’m tired of following rainbows

Through the way I’ve broken all my bones

Reveries take me so high

I don’t have a place to hide

Can somebody see these lights?

Guess I’m not the only one

oooh

Now it’s time to open eyes

To this reality that I am in

Oooo + alti

Now it’s time to be the dream I have

It’s time to get what I expect

Reveries take me so high

I don’t have a place to hide

Now I know it’s time to fight,

Guess I have to move right now

Qu’est-ce qu’il y a dans la tête des nuages 

Qui donne vertige à la neige

Pas un jeu d’enfants, ce combat de compas, 

Ma flèche part mais je reste en place

J’ai cessé de tout craindre

Je me laisse couler caressé par le poids de mes mots 

Un naufragé sous ma peau

Les courants berçant mes pensées

Ainsi, j’ai perdu mes paroles,

Dans cet océan 

Je nage parmi mes rêves.

C’est quoi ce vent qui caresse mes tempes

Qui me fait sortir de ma cage 

Il arrive souvent que je prie dans mon temple

Pour que je devienne orage

Je cesse de tout attendre

Ma voix nage, fait des vagues, un volcan en dansant, elle s’envole

C’est mon désir que je chante 

Quand j’ai compris que j’ai pas tout dit

Et mon cri poursuit l’appel du vide

La seul manière de décrocher mes ailes

Ainsi je vis le reste de ma vie

Tel une rivière qui danse dans l’infini.

Je danse, dans l’infini.

​​If I stop for a while

Nothing changes outside

Would you notice the difference

Between what I was yesterday and what I’m now?

Sometimes I feel like I’m nothing more than flesh

And I feel the heaviness of being human and limited

Then I wish I could run naked in the streets

Oh, oh, oh

I picked up a cotton thread 

In an empty corridor

When I tried to change its shape

I knew that its essence would stay the same

Sometimes I feel ​like I’m nothing more than flesh

And I feel the heaviness of being human and limited

Then I wish I could run naked in the street

Then I wish I could run naked in the street

I’m toasting a marshmallow

It’s so sweet and I’m so callow

I wish I could change my flavour

Without changing myself, without being someone else

Sometimes I feel ​like I’m nothing more than flesh

And I feel the heaviness of being human and limited

Then I wish I could run naked in the street

Sometimes I feel ​like I’m nothing more than flesh

And I feel the heaviness of being human and limited

Then I wish I could run naked in the street

Then I wish I could run naked in the street

Oh, oh, oh

I swam in your blue eyes and now I’m drowning

Ryan, oh Ryan

I thought we were together but I’m lonely

Ryan, oh Ryan

I might have maybe idealised

And thought that I would never ever leave you

I might have missed relevant signs

Will I not ever see you again?

Ryan, oh Ryan

Stay with me on this island

Ryan, oh Ryan

I just thought that you would like me too

I like walking without direction

But I’m tired, I’m tired

And I thought you’d consider this affection

Well I am, oh I am

It’s been sunny this afternoon

but I’m still a bit under the weather

It would be nice under the moon

To hold your hand and take you where I am

Ryan, oh Ryan

Stay with me on this island

Ryan, oh Ryan

I just thought that you would like me too

Ryan, walk next to me

Ryan, didn’t you see

Fire burning the leaves

Fire around you and me?

Ryan, oh Ryan

Stay with me on this island

Ryan, oh Ryan

I just thought that you would like me too

I’m dry, oh, I’m dry

I’m drained by this fake fire

Ryan, oh Ryan

Should I call you once just once again?

I just can’t get you out of my head

Would you please reply to my text

Bitch.

Why do I keep falling like a dickhead

Fantasising on a smile and knowing nothing else?

And I would surely hit a tree cause I see nothing else but thee

I would meander in the streets till I have your fucking hand on me

But I should know this has no shit to do with you

I’m just used to fucking my head up when I’m living in autarchic solitude

And all the efforts I have made to attain some grace for me would vanish soon

I’m screwed cause I fixed my mind on you

What do I know about what’s inside your face

And chest and belt and underwear and in your head, your hair?

Only one week after I first heard your name

Beautiful name, your name, a shame it’s not my name, your name

I would be stung by a millions bees If I could taste your sweet honey

I would drown deep into the sea ‘cause probably I would forget to breathe

But I should know this has no shit to do with you

I’m just used to fucking my head up when I’m living in autarchic solitude

And all the efforts I have made to attain some grace for me would vanish soon

I’m screwed whether with or without you

I’m screwed if I get a kiss I’m too

I’m screwed cause I fixed my mind on you

But I should know this has no shit to do with you

I’m just used to fucking my head up when I’m living in autarchic solitude

And all the efforts I have made to attain some grace for me would vanish soon

I’m screwed whether with or without you

I’m screwed if I win or if I lose

I’m screwed if I get a kiss I’m too

I’m screwed slap me please cause I’m a fool

Little people walking in the streets

Little people walking endlessly

They don’t have time to breathe

They don’t have time to breathe

Little people living under clouds

Little people lost in their own crowd

They forgot how to dream

They forgot how to dream

Do they still know what they came here for? 

As they run fast 

The time don’t last

Under all the blood they pour

They stay poor

With money in their pockets

But with no joy

Little people wearing golden clothes 

Little people withering in smoke

They don’t know what is real

They don’t know what is real

And do they know what this life is for?

But as they run fast 

The time don’t last

Under all the efforts I have made to attain some grace for me would vanish soon

I’m screwed whether with or without you

I’m screwed if I get a kiss I’m too

I’m screwed cause I fixed my mind on you

Where is the happiness they were looking for?

Where is the hope they lost among the lies they’re told?

Where is the happiness you were looking for?

Where is the hope you’ve lost?

The present will unfold

As you walk past

Open your arms

Dancing with the rain that pours

Open doors

To find the light in your chest

Illuminate

We’re the only people left in the room

Let’s get out and drink the light of the moon

And remember we’re made of stars

 

Would you tell me why I don’t understand

Why we crave so much the warmth of a hand

To hold us in the silent nights

 

And why it is so hard to explain

Why we all strive to reach success

In this life that’ll come to an end

 

We’re fools

Worrying too much about it

Confused

By woolgatherings and poses

 

clouds of dust are falling off from the roof

through the cracks on the walll i see dew wwwwwwwww

dripping down and drying out

 

Does everyone feel lonely like this

Like there’s nothing that could ever fulfil 

Our need to escape the pain

 

Will there ever be one time

When we will feel complete inside

Without greed and anger and lies

 

We’re fools

Worrying too much about it

Confused

By woolgatherings and poses

 

We’ll go back to the Apeiron so why worry?

We’ll be back maybe on this earth so let’s tend it. 

We won’t keep anything we own, so why force it?

Our future will be what we sow so let’s plant it

I’ve been told it’s not the right sentiment 

But I know we’re allowed différence 

And to the puzzlement 

I’ll reply with honesty

That every time I tell you you shouldn’t worry about me

That I don’t mind this state

I never lie 

And I wouldn’t want to say I’m sorry for my kind of peace 

Looking for some glimpses of deliverance

I have found a mirror of myself saying that

The story I am living 

Is no one else’s 

So every time you think you want to feel sorry for me

Look, I don’t mind the ache 

Whatever the plight 

I wouldn’t stop loving the moments I get to live in 

I don’t complain about the weather

I cannot change what has been

I want in every bit of present 

To feel I’m complete 

Can’t follow aimlessly 

My eyes and hands are free

To make my colour bleed 

I want to be true to me

What I know is I don’t want to have regrets

When the time will come for me to call an end

So I won’t live a life that was not meant for me

Le stelle de lu cielu nun so tutte

C’ammanca quella della mezzanotte

C’ammanca la piu bella

E poi so tutte

Abbaia un cane e pizzica la strina

Lu pecuraru lassa la muntagne

Dormi bellezza mea

Bona fortuna

Chissa po’ ch’e successo quella notte

Che lu core e’ scoppiato pe le scosse

Mo yo te cerco quanno fa sera

E sei tu la stella

Mo io te cerco quanno fa sera

E sei tu la stella

I don’t know why it happens

But it happens 

And I just have to learn from it somehow

As you did always tell me

Everything comes from a flower and will make a seed 

So when the clouds will gather I will drink the rain

And when the sun will brighten my face I won’t complain

But when sometimes I fall 

now I find you inside me

Hold me through the air I inhale

Only for a minute or two

I find my safe place in you 

Hold me and I will find you there

Just as you would do it before

Surround me to cure this sore 

I don’t know what comes after

But it will So why should I spend my time thinking of it? 

Just as when I suspended all my feelings

And you tried to lift me up from the ground

Now when the sky gets blurry I can see your face 

And when the weight of worry hits i feel you in the wind 

You’re in every leaf brushing my face

In every gentle move of the wind 

In the atoms filling up my breath 

I hear you

I feel you

Quello che mi piace di più sono i capelli al vento

Ma questo soltanto non spiega quello che sento

C’è di più che nelle favole in queste nuvole

Quando ogni movimento rimane in questo momento

E dovunque vada gia’ ci sono, anche se mi perdo

Che mi guardo dentro e mi guardo intorno

È semplice ma non è facile

Che come per questa vita non c’è 

Un manuale d’uso per la bicicletta

Ho smesso di andare di fretta

Per imparare

Il bello della strada che ho

È che c’è il sole in faccia ma anche la pioggia, 

L’odore che lascia

E l’unico modo per trovare l’equilibrio è

Sempre avanzare senza troppo timore

Quindi mi concedo il permesso di cadere spesso

Così tento invece di stare ferma

Che come per questa vita non c’è

Un manuale d’uso per la bicicletta

Ho smesso di andare di fretta

È semplice ma non è facile

The tide’s beginning to load

And I am carried afloat

All of this feels rather new

I’m here, I’m turning you

The tide’s beginning to rise

The current bursting through my eyes

For a moment be the boat 

to ease the lumps in my throat

Rock my pain towards the crests

Don’t let me stray away

In the harbour of your chest

I will be safe

The waves are stirring my soul

Am I weaker than the flow?

Please be my anchor to keep

me here now that nothing feels real

Rock my pain towards the crests

Don’t let me stray away

In the harbour of your chest

I will be safe

Please be the harbour to keep me here

Scommetto che te la ridi

Senza fardelli

Ora ch’è tutto chiaro

Tu ridi ancor di più

E noi che ancor guardiamo su o giù o di lato

Sperando di sentire una risata o un flauto

Sappiamo che stai bene

Forse anche ‘un po’ meglio

Senza tutti i dolori

Che la vita ci dà

Ma noi un po’ piangiamo ancora perché manchi

Sì certo, andiamo avanti, ma ci volevi tu

Che canti una canzone che poi cantiamo tutti

Col cuore sereno come sai fare tu

La lallallala lalalalalalala la lalalalala lala lala lala

Quanno se rivedremo, tutti più leggeri

Pensa le risate che ce faremo insieme

Cantanno na canzone che poi cantamo tutti

Cor core sereno come lo sai fa tu

E intanto io un

po’ piango

Perché un po’ mi manchi

Si, sempre vado avanti

Ma ci volevi tu

Non so perché succede

Ma succede

E rimane solo da imparare 

Come dicevi sempre

Tutto viene da un fiore e produce il seme

Così se le nuvole piangono io le berrò

Quando il sole illumina mi scalderò 

A volte però cado

E ti cerco qui dentro

Tienimi nel vapore del mio respiro

Solo per un minuto

E sono sicuro

Tienimi e ti trovo nel mio petto

Come facevi prima

Avvolgimi questa ferita

Non so cosa c’è dopo

Ma lo saprò

Perché dovrei pensarci adesso? 

Tutta questa paura 

Innocente di non essere mai abbastanza 

Ora se il cielo si appanna vedo il tuo viso (ora se il cielo si appanna vedo te) 

quando l’ansia affonda sei nel vento intorno a me 

E’ perché quando cado

Io ti cerco qui dentro

Sei in ogni foglia sul mio palmo

Sei in tutte le danze del vento

Sei negli atomi del mio respiro

Ti sento

​​If I stop for a while
Nothing changes outside
Would you notice the difference
Between what I was yesterday and what I’m now?

Sometimes I feel like I’m nothing more than flesh

Sometimes I feel ​like I’m nothing more than flesh
And I feel the heaviness of being human and limited
Then I wish I could run naked in the street
Then I wish I could run naked in the street

This feeling of uncertainty
Seems to fill up everything
Gonna expand till there’s no air to breathe

I’ve been going solo for so long
I’m walking alone and it’s so cold

I need air but there’s no space
Something went wrong in me and now I’m scared by everything
I don’t know how to get out
Don’t know how to get away

This sense of misunderstanding
Makes me unable to talk with myself
And maybe that’s the worst thing that I’ve done

I’m almost faded and can’t see the light
And so tired, I’m unable to fight

I need air but there’s no space
Something went wrong in me and now I’m scared by everything
I don’t know how to get out
Don’t know how to get away

I’m running, I’m fighting just to keep myself alive
I’m running, just running trying to reach something someone somehow
I’m running, I’m yelling just to let someone hear me
I’m crying while I’m smiling ’cause I just want to be free now

I’ve been getting nowhere for too long

I need air but there’s no space
Something went wrong in me and now I’m scared by everything
I don’t know how to get out
Don’t know how to get away

I need air but there’s no space
Something went wrong int me and now I’m scared by everything
Don’t know how to get away

I Need Air

Risia, you are so sweet, oh, I love you so much
Risia, you are so sweet, when you blink your eyes
Risia, you are so sweet, when you mispronounce the words you say
Risia, you are so sweet, would you be my friend?

Hug me, oh, hug me
Cuddle me and caress me
Make me smile, psychoanalyse me
Do it, and I’ll do it for you in return

Risia, you are so sweet, when you try to sing but don’t succeed
I love it when you grin and the way you feel free
Oh, you are so sweet, even when you drive me mad
’cause you are so sweet, can I be your friend?

Hug me, oh, hug me
Cuddle me and caress me
Make me smile, psychoanalyse me
Do it, and I’ll do it for you in return

Will you try to understand me?
Relieve me and make me happy?
If you need me to help thee
Be sure that I’ll be there to save your ass

Now I realise my past is not here
Even though I lived it, even though I saw it.
I’m asking myself what I’ve done wrong
I’m wondering what I can do to erase it

Now I feel so cold looking outside
Because I’ve tried the best I could
But it seems useless

I’ve been waiting for so long and now I’m ready
To change my lot ’cause I’ve noticed, I’ve noticed
I need more, I need more, I need more

Do you feel the same? Are you happy today?
I see you so far but I’d want you right here
The fear all around is beating you down
Oh… what can I do to save you?

But sometimes my rage comes out
’cause you’ve left me here
And I am alone now
But I’ll get trough somehow

I’ve been waiting for so long and I’m ready
To change my lot ’cause I’ve noticed, I’ve noticed
I need more, I need more, I need more

I’ve been waiting for so long
And now I’m ready to change my lot

I’ve been waiting here alone for the whole day
The air is cold and my hands are dry
I heard a song that reminds me that he’s gone away
Away away away away away

I just want to go outside
Under these grey clouds
All I wish tonight
Is to have no doubts

’cause everyday is passing me by
And every time I wake up I don’t know why
’cause everyday is always the same
Today has been just another bad day

I’m trying to but I can’t appease my rage
My hood is already soaking wet
Heavy rain is falling, I just sit and wait
I wait I wait I wait I wait I wait

So now it’s raining on me
but I don’t want to move
I just want to sit here
till I’ve got flu

’cause everyday is passing me by
And everytime I wake up I don’t know why
’cause everyday is always the same
Today has been just another bad day

All the raindrops on me are going to dry someday
I am going to miss them as I miss his face
And every time I hurt I’m going to miss that too
’cause every pain I feel teaches me something new
