LETTO DI CHIODI (Ventrella - Bonizio)

I heard your enchanting joke
A masterstroke
(And apropos)

The subtle lie that you spoke
Was almost baroque
Rococo

At first your words in my ear
Sonded sincere
And elegant

But I do declare
Though you seem so fair
It's all counterfeit

Beguiling one
You play the sun
But shadows are your way
Wolf in sheep's clothes
Everyone knows
The sinner's not the saint

Oh chameleon face
The things that you praise
You want to tear down

But your charming words
Will scatter like birds
At the predator's sound

Now it's true, you're so eloquent
Shiny pearls
Fall from oyur tongue

But something, something's bent
Something's crooked
I feel stung

Beguiling one
You play the sun
But shadows are your way
Wolf in sheep's clothers
And everyone knows
The sinner's not the saint
Beguiling one
You play the sun
But darkness is your game

Oh beguiling one
I think we're done

Beguiler

„Der stumme Zeuge“ erzählt die Geschichte einer Figur, die aus der stillen Beobachterrolle heraus die Brüche einer aus den Fugen geratenen Welt betrachtet: Ungerechtigkeit, soziale Kälte, Machtmissbrauch – all das zieht an ihr vorbei wie Schatten, die niemand beim Namen nennen will. Der Song macht diesen unsichtbaren Beobachter zur Stimme der Mahnung: einer, der alles sieht, aber nicht gehört wird. Eine balladeske Anklage gegen das Wegschauen und die Lethargie einer Gesellschaft, die ihre Zeugen selbst zum Schweigen bringt.

Der stumme Zeuge

Lyrics:

I think I saw a sign
It was fleeting it was whispered in your eyes
I almost passed it by

Keeping me in stride
A cacophony, a battle with no side
But you drown it out with light

And I take a little, give a little, live a little, love a little
Take a little, give a little, can I have a little of yours?
And you take a little, give a little, live a little, love a little
Take a little, give a little, do you want a little bit more?

Oh

There’s a gentle pulling tide
I can feel it, it's keeping me in time
A cold wind in the night

This darkness on my mind
Oh you drown it out with light
Yeah you drown it out with light

And I take a little, give a little, live a little, love a little
Take a little, give a little, can I have a little of yours?
And you take a little, give a little, live a little, love a little
Take a little, give a little, do you want a little bit more?

And I take a little, give a little, live a little, love a little
Take a little, give a little, can I have a little of yours?
And you take a little, give a little, live a little, love a little
Take a little, give a little, do you want a little bit more?

More

And I think I saw a sign
I almost passed it by
When there was darkness on my mind  

Oh

You drowned it out with light
You drowned it out with light 
The darkness on my mind
You drowned it out with light

There's a gentle pulling tide
Can you feel it? Is it keeping you in time?
I'll stay by your side

When there's darkness on your mind

Oh we'll drown it out with light
You and I will drown it out with light


With Light

Journalist, Kommunikationswissenschaftler und - nebenher - Komponist, Texter und Musiker.

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.
