04 – Tell me who you will find
07 – In my dreams there you were
01 - What to say
What to say when you return
If you ever come back
How to recognize the previous magic
And not hide my self in doubt
I get lost along the roads and with my choices
But I never really chose to be lonely
Isolated on the long and freezing days
If those were days... As if you could call it days
I’ll see you baby, deprived of lucidity
Without ever knowing the well-aimed routine
To know how to count the reverse hours
Urges to rest under crossfire
Fall asleep as if I were happy
Knowing I got nothing to lose
Draw a beaming star
Craving that it becomes You
You're coming back
I’ll see you baby, deprived of lucidity
Without ever knowing
The well-aimed routine
To know how to count the reverse hours
Urges to rest under crossfire
But then what to comment on then,
If we do talk again
Will I manage to tell you, at the right moment,
You are beautiful
I’ll see you baby, deprived of lucidity
Without ever knowing the well-aimed routine
To know how to count the reverse hours
Urges to rest under crossfire
I’ll see you baby, deprived of lucidity
Of the peace which inhabits
The well-aimed routine
To know how to count the reverse hours
Urges to rest under crossfire
2- The ancient days
As my spirit is revitalized
I let myself go for these days of enchantment
Savor such freedom and light
Before I close myself again
The ancient days are born
They are new once again
Real and impudently alluring
Full of that ancient emotion
But gateway to the future
Real and impudently alluring
To dwell momentarily in the same space
To talk and see your eyes, stare at your lips
Reminisce your favorite expressions
To laugh once more of such explosive temper
The ancient days are born
They are new once again
Real and impudently alluring
Full of that ancient emotion
But gateway to the future
Real and impudently alluring
Forget for days the responsibility
The inexistence of rules in love life
To define myself entirely
The episodes I remembered are reborn
To dwell momentarily in the same space
To talk and see your eyes, stare at your lips
Reminisce your favorite expressions
To laugh once more of such explosive temper
The ancient days are born
They are new once again
Real and impudently alluring
Full of that ancient emotion
But gateway to the future
Real and impudently alluring
The ancient days are born
They are new once again
Real and impudently alluring
03 – I embrace the imprudence
Now that you are here
All feels perfect
I don’t lose myself senselessly
Lost… in full perception
I know where I am
And where I want to be
I embrace the imprudence
So you see the harm you did to me
I’m happier in my clash
So see me smiling now
You are here, at least for now
And I take advantage of such coincidence
Happy because it is us
Showing us life in its most profound glory
I embrace the imprudence
So you see the harm you did to me
I’m happier in my clash
So see me smiling now
I embrace the imprudence
For you to see the harm you did to me
I’m happier in my clash
Look at me smiling now
The shallow wounds are healing already
They go ahead and vanish
And it’s almost as if you had never left
I forget all the worries
I embrace the imprudence
So you see the harm you did to me
Happier in my clash
So see me smiling now
I embrace the imprudence
For you to see the harm you did to me
See me real and broken
Look at me smiling now
I embrace the imprudence
So you see the harm you did to me
Happier in my clash
So see me smiling now
Look at me smiling now
Look at me smiling now
04 – Tell me who you will find
Tell me who you will find
On this so close upcoming day
I ask myself if you know who I am
For I lost myself in the world
And I can’t find the trace in me
I ask myself if you know who I am
Step by step
First dubious and hobbling
I no longer know what’s living near
I’ve been always so away from you
My mind rambles alone, already
Without my domination
Gives its first steps towards madness
My mind rambles alone, already
Step by step forward goes
First dubious and hobbling
But each day freer
And I sleep in me
And dream I lose my mind
But each day freer
What were you saying about cowardice?
I still don’t know whether I am or not
I go out in the street and I see such disturbance
And the countenances (because I’m afraid but
I don’t restrain myself) loaded with wrath and hostility
Step by step forward goes
First dubious and hobbling
But each day freer
And I sleep in me
And dream I lose my mind
But each day freer
Step by step forward goes
First dubious and hobbling
But each day freer
05 – Knowing you here
Knowing you here in this country
Just a little bit closer
Without the hundreds of miles
That keep us apart and hide you
By my side…
So I could stare at you
So I would tell you all the pretty words
Confide in you the achievements and disappointments
All the uncertainties I know
To finally breathe of relief
With your arrival from a distant distant world
Simply to be able to hear you
When I sigh at your absence
When my strengths do fail
So I could stare at you
So I would tell you all the pretty words
Confide in you the achievements and disappointments
All the uncertainties I know
To finally breathe of relief
With your arrival from a distant distant world
Simply to be able to hear you
When I sigh at your absence
When my strengths do fail
All the uncertainties ...
So I could stare at you
So I would tell you all the pretty words
Confide in you the achievements and disappointments
All the uncertainties I know
All the uncertainties I know
06 - Seduced by routine
I’m seduced by routine
This one that belongs to us only
We are its detainers
We don’t run to the wind
Neither do we see the sunset
We stay in a room, distant from the world
Exhibiting our favorite idleness
We are its detainers
No, we don’t like the sunset
We are not romantic, we are slow
We forget philosophy or ecology
Since we don’t explore the blooming fields
We travel through the most trivial memories
We are its detainers
Forget not so natural disasters
We are not romantic, we are slow
We forget philosophy or ecology
Then we lay our bodies
Wasting life throughout the days
On those genius colorful pillows
We relax and live the anti-hours
How everything goes
Slow and so much
How we’re all so mistaken
To realize time never really stops
We missed learning how to really live
We are not romantic, we are slow
We forget philosophy or ecology
Then we lay our bodies
Wasting life by wasting days
On those genius colorful pillows
We relax and live the anti-hours
07 – In my dreams there you were
It is you who I recalled
With whom
Sometimes I dream
Without knowing your face
Or even your voice
Sounding so sweet
I knew by heart the disenchantment
And the fear of the unrepeatable
Of the moments lost forever
I knew by heart the disenchantment
And the fear of the unrepeatable
And the moments lost forever
To know everything is perishable
That to us all is offered an end
That not always do we fall asleep
In that sleep… so fatal
I knew by heart the disenchantment
And the fear of the unrepeatable
Of the moments lost forever
I knew by heart the disenchantment
And the fear of the unrepeatable
And the moments lost forever
Of the galaxies not found
Not found… ever.
I knew by heart the disenchantment
And the fear of the unrepeatable
Moments lost forever
I knew by heart the disenchantment
And the fear of the unrepeatable
Of the moments lost forever
I knew by heart the disenchantment
And the fear of the unrepeatable
Of the moments lost forever
Of the galaxies not found
Not found… ever.
08 – This ending day
I decide to jumble the magical little box
Adorned by your surprises
Lined in secrets and confessions
Images and affections
I seek you on this ending day
Jumble the memory searching
For evidence of us
But nothing am I able to find
Before sleep condemns me, I wander
Seeking a signal of yours
That you exist and I didn’t create you
That I knew you one day
I find us long years passed
Seven years younger
I was still a believer
And you still wanted me by your side
Forever
I seek you on this ending day
Jumble the memories searching
For evidence of us
But nothing am I able to find
Before sleep condemns me, I wander
Seeking a signal of yours
That you exist and I didn’t create you
That I knew you one day
But history took unpredicted routes
And the dogmas collapsed, fragile
Useless promises of eternity
Naive empty hopes in the future
I seek you on this ending day
Jumble the memories searching
For evidence of us
But nothing am I able to find
Before sleep condemns me, I wander
Seeking a signal of yours
That you exist and I didn’t create you
That I knew you one day
09 – Isolated in my annoyance
I felt unprotected today
Isolated in my annoyance
Eluded in victories
Despondency in my blood
I came to you
Decided to see you today
But you weren’t there
In that garden where sometimes
We would say goodbye
I only recognized the same wind we knew
The same trees and the same abandon
The leaves of the sad days
It seems unbelievable how much time we left behind
I came to you
Decided to see you today
But you weren’t there in that garden
Where sometimes we would say goodbye
I came to you, joyful
Decided to see you today
But you weren’t there in that garden
Where sometimes we would say goodbye forever
I came to you
Decided to see you today
But you weren’t there in that garden
Where sometimes we would say goodbye
I came to you
Decided to see you today
You weren’t there in that garden
Where sometimes we would say goodbye forever
Trying to guess the clothes
You would bring
And how much charm
Would be enough
For you to take them off
10 – Favorite tragedy
I know I am quite distant
Now that we’re talking on the phone
Try as you might to erase the distance
I just don’t feel closer to you now
When we were together
It felt so right
But I’m all alone now
I really miss your heartbeat
I know I’m a bad bad man
I keep pushing you away
You try to keep us together
I don’t listen to a word you say
I know I’m not a good listener
Because deep inside I keep blaming you
Every day the disbelief grows
This awkward silence is killing me
When we were together
It felt so right, in my mind
But I’m all alone now
I really miss your heartbeat
When we were together
It felt so right, in my mind
But I’m all alone now
And I really miss your heartbeat
