I dig, dig, incessantly dig.
I dig, dig, incessantly dig.

It's dark and I gasp at every noise.
It's cold but I'm sweating.
I feel salt on my lips.
This guilty feeling will disappear
tomorrow morning six feet under here.

Hey, deeper, hey, deeper…
Hey, deeper, hey, deeper…

What are these splinters?
My hands are bleeding.
How could this happen?
I don’t know what it is.
The situation deteriorated in a moment.
I didn't want it to end like that!
 
Hey, deeper, hey, deeper…
Hey, deeper, hey, deeper…

Anger, fear and then the blood.
I didn't want it.
And now ...?
What can I do?

But life must go on,
at least for me!   
They can't catch me now.
Not now, not now, I swear.
They will ask me for some explanation,
but I’ll be convincing:
I can play my part.

Hey, deeper, hey, deeper…
Hey, deeper, hey, deeper…
Hey, deeper, hey, deeper…
Hey, deeper, hey, deeper…

As a gash in the painting of the night,
suddenly, a scream woke me up.
I'm soaked in sweat.

...I have to stop eating
lasagna in the evening!

Più profondo.


Scavo, scavo incessantemente.
Scavo, scavo incessantemente.

È buio e sussulto ad ogni rumore.
È freddo ma sto sudando.
Sento il sale sulle labbra.
Questo senso di colpa sparirà domattina
Qui sotto sei piedi di terra.

Più profondo, più profondo…
Più profondo, più profondo…

Cosa sono questi vetri?
Le mie mani sanguinano.
Com'è potuto succedere?
Non so' cosa sia.
La situazione è precipitata in un attimo.
Non volevo che finisse così!

Più Profondo, più profondo…
Più Profondo, più profondo…

Rabbia, paura e poi il sangue.
Non volevo.
...e ora?
Cosa posso fare?

La vita deve proseguire,
Almeno per me!
Non possono prendermi ora.
Mi chiederanno spiegazioni,
ma riuscirò a essere convincente.
Sono sicuro di poter recitare bene la mia parte.

Più Profondo, più profondo…
Più Profondo, più profondo…
Più Profondo, più profondo…
Più Profondo, più profondo…

Come uno squarcio nel dipinto della notte,
un urlo mi ha svegliato d'improvviso.
Sono sudato fradicio.

Devo smetterla di mangiare le lasagne la sera!
