Amore e Giochi (31-08-2008)

Alle dieci e mezza
Con la mia tristezza
Ho deciso di giocare.
Ti ho trovato,
Mi hai sussurrato
Facciamo l'amore.

Abbiamo ballato
Insieme in un fiato
Senza parlare.
Sapevi che io
Ho giurato su Dio
Di non ritornare.

Ma per una volta
Giocare non importa
Almeno lo spero.
Mi rimetto il vestito
Ma l'amore e' finito,
Finito davvero.

Brief translation: The woman decided to play with her ex-lover. Without words she went through the motions that he knows are just a game. She swore she would never return and he knows it. She puts on her clothes again and tells him the love is dead, definitely over.

Siren's Wail (29-08-2007)

And the ship was passing near,
Sailors strained themselves to hear
My lament which pierced the sky
Wooing them to come pass by.

Few bailed out and swam alone
Attracted by my heartfelt moan
But as soon as they were close
The sea opened, and the waves rose.

Dashed them all against the rocks,
Their blood mixed with my curly locks,
Whilst I increase my siren's wail
Killing off another male.

Mortality (26-08-2007)

Ravage, hurt and desolation,
Only oblivion is my salvation.
Need some numbness to move on
I can't see the the crack of dawn.

All around there's people dying,
They depart and leave us lying
Here on earth where we belong
Yet we cannot stay for long.

Say our piece and exit quick.
Hope in someone's heart we stick.
Cos for sure there's no tomorrow
If none think of us, feel no sorrow.

Sense the darkness coming over,
Say my lines, quick, shouldn't hover.
Bid goodbye to all around,
Silence finally, no more sound.

Heart Attack (25-08-2007)

I cannot show you what I feel.
I have to seem as strong as steel.
Yet deep down there, you understand
But my broken heart you cannot mend.

I'm lost at sea, but want to drown
Yet am afraid as currents pull me down.
I try to fight, but it's all in vain
How can you not notice my pain?

Or maybe you see, and you turn your head
Easier to deny, and say you don't understand,
The love, the ache, the heart attack,
And so you leave, without turning back.

Scars (21-08-2007)

Some deep, some light
Still ache at night.
Yet though they hurt,
I won't yet convert
To laughter and joy
To happiness's ploy.

"Why's that?", you ask
to take me to task.

'Cos they're my life,
My aches, my strife.
And like a crusader
I fear no invader
That ravages my heart,
That takes me apart.

"So won't you ever heal?
And feelings reveal?"

I shall and I will,
There's hope in me still,
But these scars of mine
Will help me define
The future to cast
And learn from my past.

Little Girl (14-08-2007)

Somehow walked back to meet the little girl
Red curly hair, big eyes and an upturned nose
Struggled to find myself in her at all,
So instead, I sat down and offered her a rose.

She took it from me and her eyes lit up,
The age of innocence still etched on her face
She asked me questions on where I came from,
If I had dropped by from outer space.

I shook my head and she asked again,
Whether I knew about real fairy tales.
I had not the courage to shatter her hopes
So I said yes, future happiness prevails.

She tilted her head and considered for a while,
and then hugged me close, real tight.
She said "Go back and remember me,
And for your dreams put up a fight."

I guess she's right, what's done is done.
I'll dry my tears and I'll stand tall.
Thanks little girl, you made me think,
Maybe you are still in me, after all.

Hate Me (10-08-2007)

Hate me, kick me, leave me
It wont feel as bad as this
Living with my shell,
when deep inside
It's just a big abyss.

Stop it, shut it, forget it
I will never change my mind
I'm a bitch and dont you know it
Why are you trying
to remain blind?

Tighter, harder, stronger
On my neck I feel your grasp,
There you see... was really easy
I utter feebly with
my last gasp.

Replacement (09-08-2007)

Whisper softly in my ears,
Hold my hand, allay my fears
Tell me everything's all right
Hug me tightly through the night.

Just dont ask me if I care
Or to you my life to swear
For tomorrow I'll be gone
Just before the break of dawn.

Cos the harsh light on your face
Will destroy my imaginary place.
I will see you're not my love
But a replacement, I made use of.

Break the Silence (08-08-2007)

Walking by in the street,
People staring at their feet
Some of them dont even smile
At the child that's running by.

Why have we grown up to be
So alone and solitary?
Wouldn't it be fun to laugh
And ignore the empty half?

Playing jokes, doing pranks
Singing songs and giving thanks.
So let's all forget our woes,
Enjoy life, the future glows!

Dance (04-08-2007)

Faster, faster
Turn and swirl.
Shake it, shake it
Sexy girl.

Shouting, singing
Feel the beat
Come and join me,
Off your seat!

No Healing (31-07-2007)

Lying here in my pool of blood,
Lonely tears have cause a flood,
Passers by nod happily and wave
Trying to smile, am acting brave.

I have tried calling 112
I dont know, maybe I find you
To come here and tend to me
To restore some serenity

Yet you're busy on other calls
Helping casualties on other shores
So I'll stare at the stars above
Waiting patiently for Doctor Love
