SCANNING lyrics

Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
You disappeared from my life
I gave you all I had
But it was not enough
You disappeared from my life
Its still your terms like it always was
All these questions spinning around
Somehow I keep losing my ground

Scanning through our story

Not sure if Im haunting our dreams or mine
You disappeared from my life
Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
you disappeared from my life
you had my heart and my time
all these questions spinning around
Somehow i keep losing my ground

Yeah Im scanning through our story

Scanning

I, think much more today
About it is I stand to lose
More than what I could gain
When I kneel down to pray
About what it is that I must to choose
To keep the pain at bay

Open my mouth to say
About what seems the most confused
When it could be so plain
I think much more today
About what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

When I kneel down to pray
About what it is I stand to lose
More than what I can gain
Open my mouth to say
About what it is that I must choose
To keep the pain at bay

I think much more today
About what seems the most confused 
When it could be so plain
And when I find a vein
I know what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

What I Stand To Lose

Crossing time-zones
Godforsaken deserts
Midnight in transit stations
The illusion of freedom
Written in blood written in stone

It's just an idea
It's just an idea

The twisted wreck
Of a helicopter gunship
A distant call to prayer
Sweet liquorice and bitter cigarettes

It's just an idea [...]

He carries her in his heart
She's all he had now all he has
White knuckles holding fast
His mother's photograph in a young man’s hands

Now everything is lost
Now everything is lost

They say half the future’s buried in the past
But the fallen will not weep for us
When it’s our time to choose

It's just an idea [...]

Arrows Of The Sun

Lost a girl

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

It was an honor and a pleasure to sing to the sound of a delightful composition by two wonderful artists such as Debra Buesking(@debra_buesking) on piano and David Dunham(@david-dunhamuser589535203) on guitar. Thanks for this priceless opportunity.
Below the Italian / English lyric

Dimmi dove sei
Torno a casa e non ti trovo più
Le tue calze sopra il letto
Sempre accesa la TV

Non dimentico 
Le tue promesse in bilico
e le domeniche
Sempre spese solo dove decidi tu
Forse ho il cuore troppo piccolo
Per lasciarti la tua libertà
casca il mondo 
quando te ne vai

Mille baci e poi
All’improvviso il vuoto fra di noi 
Non so perché rimango appeso qui
Il tuo canto mi ha ingannato 
e come Ulisse mi salverò
Ma poi ricadrò
nella tua tela ancora

Sei sparita ormai
irraggiungibile
ma è sicuro io ti troverò per dirti che
che non mi arrendo e voglio solo te
Puoi scommetterci
Vorrei sentire ancora i brividi
Mentre stringo la tua mano
 per non lasciarti più
………………..
Dimmi dove sei 


Tell me where you are
I come home and I can't find you anymore
Your socks over the bed
Still on the TV

I do not forget
Your promises in the balance
and Sundays
Always spending only where you decide
Maybe my heart is too small
To leave you your freedom
the world falls
when are you leaving

A thousand kisses and then
Suddenly the void between us
I don't know why I'm hanging here
Your singing deceived me
and like Ulysses I will save myself
But then I'll fall back
in your web again

You're gone now
unattainable
but it's sure I'll find you to tell you that
that I'm not giving up and I just want you
you can bet
I wish I could still feel the chills
As I hold your hand
  not to leave you anymore
……………… ..
Tell me where you are

Theatre theme for the play Iphigenie auf Tauris by Goethe performed in Straubing in 2008

Iphigenie

the 2018 was a very difficult year for me ...
understanding after so many years of having come to the end of a relationship was not easy to accept. I tried with all my strength to save something that escaped me like sand in my hands.
at the same time I poured all my interior experience into the creative act, as a source of salvation, into a cathartic act.
suspension between abyss and ecstasy ...
I was feverishly working on the realization of my first album.
project which, moreover, was interrupted due to the breakdown of my mac .. I lost several important information, such as sounds created with the help of different vst plugins .. and I still try to recover data etc .. to continue the project.
even today it is not easy for me to listen to this piece again.
it takes me back in time, and inevitably a few tears still line my face.
however, it is one of the few pieces accompanied by a text written at the time. I find it extraordinary how pain is able to take new shape through art.
here is the text to follow:

Packaged lives.

Packaged lives.


And in all our going
Without an arrival

Enjoy the trip, at least

While pretending to be tired

Packaged lives

With the heart immersed
Inside a well

Packaged lives

Looking for my place
In the world.


A place in time, with you

Packaged lives

And in all our going
Without an arrival

Packaged lives

Enjoy the trip, at least
