IL LAVORO

L'hai cercato, l'hai cercato veramente
sui giornali, tra la gente
in centro e in periferia
Hai pregato, ogni santo protettore
per trovare soluzione
a un dramma insolubile

Ma il lavoro ha ucciso
ha ucciso la spontaneità
per crescere in un mondo senza troppa umanità
Difenderai il mutuo ed i figli tuoi
sottomesso a un capo che non vale un caffè

Necessario, qui è tutto necessario
come ossigeno sott'acqua
quando l'aria non c'è più

Ma il lavoro uccide
cancella meritocrazie
per crescere in un mondo senza tante cortesie
Difenderai l'amante ed i vizi tuoi
rincorrendo una carriera senza identità

Un rapporto tormentato
senza la dichiarazione
di un ingenuo nella torre
che i suoi sogni non ha più
Una strana condizione
come il cane di quel russo
o il criceto nella ruota
incastrata nel pavè

Am I out of the woods

So a week ago I wrote down "Godforsaken" and I didn't really know what to do next... and like three days ago I picked up my guitar and wrote some riffs. The next day I started writing the lyrics, and while still changing some lines I recorded the song yesterday and finished editing today. It took me a while but I think it was worth it... It says of couple different subjects: politics,scandals we all hear about and people involved, religion and then some. The music is a little tricky,I had couple problems with keeping up. The song is heavy with some low growling. I hope you'll like it.

*lyrics:

The godforsaken world that we live in
The godforsaken world that we know
The godforsaken world that we share
That godforsaken world is hell...

Hell on Earth !

Promised illusion after death
Isolated from reality
Rich elites live their wildest dreams
Dreams of heaven, dreams of bliss
But they belong...

In their ring
In their circle
In their hell

Far away, past seven seas,
Seas of blood, sweat and tears

Hidden behind their bullshit morality
Hidden behind popularity
Hidden behind their fucking fame
Hidden behind the facade

Hidden behind their hypocrisy !



The godforsaken population
The godforsaken people
The godforsaken animals
The godforsaken planet Earth

The godforsaken all !

Forget 'bout God
Forget 'bout heaven
Forget 'bout salvation
Forget 'bout redemption

We live in hell on Earth...
We wait for the Abyss

Forget 'bout Devil
Forget 'bout sin
Forget 'bout damnation
Forget 'bout hell

We all live in hell on Earth...
We are already there !

The godforsaken world that we live in
The godforsaken world that we know
The godforsaken world that we share
That godforsaken world is hell...

...on Earth !

The godforsaken world that we live in
The godforsaken world that we know
The godforsaken world that we share
That godforsaken world is hell !

The godforsaken

A song about the ifs and maybes of life that are sometimes in sight but sometimes just out of reach, with a bit of far fetched hope thrown into the existential mix. What's life without a little far fetched hope?  enjoy
Hold on for the break around 1:40-ish :)
Remastered and mo betta !
Maybe we do 
maybe we don't 
maybe we will 
maybe we won't 
if we can make it happen
if there is time
if all those fickle planets align
if our crazy stars decide to shine
maybe we'll find the words 
to say what's in our minds

Do you wonder if
our paths will cross again?
Maybe if we dream
our eyes will meet again my friend
Maybe all our dreams will come true one day
if we can find the right words to say
If all we have is maybe

Maybe yes
maybe no no no
maybe stay
maybe go
If I find all the answers 
maybe I will share them with you my friend
will you do the same for me?

If our crazy stars decide to shine
and those fickle planets decide to align

Maybe not
maybe so
maybe if
baby I don't know
and if our eyes don't meet again one day
maybe there are words
we should say...

Maybe If We Dream
