Expensive the effort, high the expectations
Many hurdles on the way
You run, the risk of getting lost is around the corner
Diagrams, organization, just take action
moments where you don’t think (other moments)
When you overthink everything
Ohers where “act” is your middle name
Do you really want to fill your suitcase
With unnecessary thoughts?
Do you really want to keep them?
A hindrance for the journey that awaits
they steal some precious space
I know, it's because, thoughts aside
Nothing else’s in absolute possession
This can make us feel as free as caged
And the final judgement's in the hands of our actions
Changing is the only way to make it happen
A way which is not explored
No maps, no torch to light the path
Just be aware, open your heart
But the night sheds light on darkest thoughts...
It‘s easier to let things and ourselves go
You can hide it, bend it, turn elsewhere
It‘s much better if you use your head
Well, it took some time
but here I am, here we are
Finally here it is
An overwhelming restart.
Nothing better than a brand new start. Nothing.

A Letter From Nowhere
02:34
|
|

It shouldn’t give a damn, leave the places behind
Leave the ties, forget about the things I used to die
Where the monoliths fell
But statues are still there
Some places I remember
I still can find myself
My hands are sweating again, it seems that I never leave
Such a peace when my mind
Brings me home, beneath its warm relief
Like a brand on my chest, I don’t need this chastisement
No one deserve this, no one
No one should be involved in this suffering, this hardship
You don’t know what’s going to happen next
You don’t know what’s out there
My body numbs, seems I’m still in here
I refuse to remember you that way
Shivers running down on my spine
Waiting for your light, waiting for your rise

Less true than a presidential oath on the holy scriptures
Reality has shown us something else:
How this period has changed
Every single person, each in his own way
This situation put against each other
revealing us for who we are
Written, thought as one of the best screenplays
All united despite the difficulties
Everyone crumble and point out, looking for justifications
Everyone crumble and point out
Written, thought as one of the best screenplays
All united despite the difficulties
Opportunistic, damned
Petrified in front
Of any kind of help request
But then it knocks the door
You didn’t expect it, fool
And now it's your turn
And there is no one else

Shadow Reflection

I fed with lies and told him that wasn't enough
I let others make the same
This man's not perfect, but he is worthy
Nicely broken, wonderfully standing, he is brave
[Bridge]
Take a stand, illuminate your own light
In spite of everything and everyone
But this is what it is, no tricks, no deceptions.
You may like, of course, as if you don't
I allowed him to fall apart
And allowed him to treat without respect.
I allowed him run on the coals to defend
Those who never moved a step for him
[Bridge]
He has secrets, wishes, pleasure
He has scars, he has a story
Mistake, disappointment, success, failure, prejudice
This man's the result of this

An Useful Forgiveness
03:16
|
|
||

The executioner's forgiveness is useless after
The head has been cut off
No tears, just a lot of shed blood
The words are worthless
But they are enough to fill this song
Open hands only raked up shit for so long
My fists are closed now
Ready to set the first punch
Many things stopped me 'til now
But times ahead look so clear
Maybe you will think that I’m wrong
That you don’t deserve what has to come
You will just find what you deserve
You will reap what you have sown
Swallow this bitter mouthful
Do you feel sorry?
Do you think they should have done more?
You should point the finger at yourself
As you haven't done before
My fists are still closed
Ready to set the first punch
But times ahead look so clear
So clear to me
We never take some time to look above
To behold what is over our heads
Another world is living back there
Away unexposed
We never take the chance to look
Over that Wall
We never take the chance to look
Beyond that fucking nose
We never take responsibility for this world
We never gave a damn and we never will

There are some people still denying technology
While they remain attached to history
To the roots and the ruins and the deeds of the protagonists
While the world advances, leaving them behind
And with them remain those who believe and play their game
Then we have another group which tries to deny history
Something never happened, uncomfortable for them
To keep it ‘cause their interests come first
Above the story, only money matters
[Chorus]
The two together, at a certain point, the ego dominates them
Dissonances, dissimilarity, they recognize the target
(While the world) has its own plan
They're having their own war
We have to choose, we only have the memory
Of a world we have never lived and another we will never live.
Ignorance must be fought on every front
[Chorus]
The two together, at a certain point, the ego dominates them, overwhelm them
Dissonances, dissimilarity, they recognize the target

War Lullaby

Here's a song that I wrote
Not to impress but to protest
Many kids mistaking their lives
From their fucking lullabies
No pens, only weapons
No backpack but bomb package
The fin of artillery instead of a school bell
Here's a song that I wrote
Not to impress but to protest
Three-hundred-thousand souls
have been uprooted from their world
Being forced, being racked
Like robot they will act
They don't know whom they'll fight
But they're not afraid to die
Here's the song that I wrote
You can do whatever you want
But it doesn't mean It doesn't exist
Your child Is learning to read
they're just learning to kill
t's a matter and It still persist

Truth to dare, in doubts you're scared
If decisions were to be made
Would you leave 'em all to die?
All the papers that you have read
Are not as truthful as before
«Big brother» is watching you
Not an illusion anymore
Fill in the blanks and grab your masks because
The road is long ahead
Live in denial or live to prevail
The water’s in the gutter but
The rain won’t wash away
(Tik-Tok)
Like a time-ticking bomb
Waiting to explode

Alea Iacta Est

Do you remember when
We used to walk the streets together?
Thinking the same, utopias can be real
The time we share, I wouldn´t change a single minute
But the clock is broken and I know all the things you've been through
[Chorus]
We fell apart and we took our part ways
We decided not to leave room for emotions
Rational thoughts finally took over
I remain sane while you destroy your world
I remain sane while you destroy your pitiable world
Do you remember when we dived into our best imaginations?
Do you remember when we drowned into the deepness of our worst nightmares?
[Chorus]
When bottoming out there are no culprits, I hope you’ll understand
The die is cast, the decisive step taken, there is no going back
So, wearing yourself out won’t bring you anything back
[Chorus]

A Well Known Déjà-Vu
02:52
|
|

|
It’s absurd how a part of the world has enslaved
And is continuing to do so with the rest of the world
Keeping on with the rest of the world
For centuries we all have proven to be reliable to support adversities,
Our robust mind stature brings us to bear the weight of all the shit we live
Even if small, even if invisible, small actions count and we all act and suffer
[Chorus]
But there comes a time when injustice becomes more frequent
And the desire for redemption becomes stronger and stronger
Nothing happens, all seems to be silent
But it’s just another small step, another, the straw that breaks the camel’s back
There comes a time when injustice becomes more frequent
And the desire for redemption becomes stronger and stronger
I can't breathe, that said
[Chorus]
I am with you, for every gesture of rebellion, for every struggle,
For every revenge of justice
I am with you, for every gesture of rebellion, for every struggle
For every stolen breath

Dreaming of Dreaming
02:51

I need some words now and the courage to do it
A high-pressured need, I think I will explode
My brain's capacity is constantly overburdened
And this could drive me crazy over time, so here's the thing
Stop running start thinking, here's the thing
Keep your mind focused, here's the thing
When you dig deeper, you understand better
[Chorus]
Night lights are reflecting on the wet asphalt while I'm returning home
One foot after the other, walking, while hoping never to arrive
Dreaming of dreaming
Stop think start running,
Keep your will focused,
When you try deeper
You attain it better.
I’m constantly overburdened
I know do one thing at a time
Analyze one thought at a time
Solve one problem at a time
Live emotion at a time
One love at a time
The daylight’s now reflected on the wet asphalt
And I'm still returning home (I'm still returning home)
One foot after the other, walking, while trying to reach the sun
Walking, while trying to reach the sun
