Originally named "parmigrano padaggiano fucsia" (trans: purple parmesan padaggiano).
Composed in 2015.
This song deals with the act of destruction and perseverence.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Here we are like leaves on trees in autumn, [i]
cherishing our shelters, drawing the line.
Amongst these ruins we swarm holding our plan.
We rebuild to have the chance to destroy again.

We are unreliable moments
and irradiate insecurities.
Come what may, dialysis takes care of us.

Oxygen, in a vow built with concrete.
Water on our invisible transparency.
We, unreliable moments,
irradiate insecurities.

What we create with our hands
is nothing but our answer
What we create with our hands
paper monuments.

Oh, how heady is this breeze we breathe.
Oh, how lively is the oxygen that fills our lungs.

At the end of the day, we are watering rotten roots and we are fragile… after all.

Fallen asleep, we entwined hallways with closed eyes.
Deceived. Our answers aren't changing the seasons.
Even these walls are being silent.
We destroy to have the chance to create again.

We are victims and crime, daggers to ourselves.
We're just fighting with a mirror.

Wisdom comes with winters. [ii]

[i] G.Ungaretti "Si sta come d'autunno sugli alberi le foglie".
[ii] O.Wilde.
