The lyrics describe a particular state of mind when you've reached your goals and you suddenly find yourself without new dreams.

Italian songwriter based in London; former singer and guitar player of the Turin based band C-SIDE, I'm now working on my own material, throwing all my influences into it.

Oh, and I work as a graphic designer in the meantime.
