era dentro quegli occhi azzurri e grigi, così ingenui ed inesperti, che capivo di aver perso. sbagliato tutto. it was deep inside those grey and blue eyes, so naive about life, that I was understanding I had lost. I've had failed on almost ev'rything.
gli uomini, tutti gli uomini, salgono e cadono. salgono e cadono.
men, ev'ry men, they rise and fall. rise and fall.
you've been hurting me dylan, i dont think i deserved it.
Reflect - Matthew Cooper
I look into the mirror…
I look at my refection…
I look into the mirror and I don't like what I see
I look at my reflection; it's not looking back at me
I look into the eyes, the eyes of who I used to be
I walk in my direction, reaching in to set me free
I cannot find myself…
I cannot help myself…
I cannot find myself, the Earth is flat and upside-down
I cannot help myself, there's no one here, there's no one now
I cannot save myself, I can't go back, I don't know how
I cannot see myself…
I cannot reflect…

Live life sleeping - Matthew Cooper
VERSE
My eyes may be closed, but I see the dark clearly
I don't make a sound; but I wish you could hear me
I feel far away, but I know that you're near me
You're closer to me, than before
This cannot be real; all of the scars are not healing
But this can't be fake, all of the pain that I'm feeling
You speak in a riddle, but I know what the meaning (is)
If only I knew what you said
CHORUS
This can't be a dream, a nightmare that I am living
But this can't be real, because I feel like I'm dreaming
If I'm not awake, then I'll live my life sleeping
And I'll live my life dreaming of you
I can't stay awake, but then you won't let me sleep
I just want to scream but you won't let me speak
You don't want to talk but then you won't let me leave
So now I live life when I sleep
VERSE
They'll say that it's worse, but you won't let it be better
There's no end in sight, but this cannot last forever
I cannot forget, but then I'll never remember
What it's like being with you
I'm feeling so lonely, you won't leave me alone
I can't go outside but I'm not safe at home
I thought I knew better, but if only I'd known
About all the things that you'd do
CHORUS
This can't be a dream, a nightmare that I am living
But this can't be real, because I feel like I'm dreaming
If I'm not awake, then I'll live my life sleeping
And I'll live my life dreaming of you
I can't stay awake, but then you won't let me sleep
I just want to scream but you won't let me speak
You don't want to talk but then you won't let me leave
So now I live life when I sleep.
SUB-VERSE
If only I knew…
When I wake and when I'm asleep
What's a nightmare and what's a dream
What it is that's happening to me
And if only I knew…
What it is that's happened to you
I don't know what's happened to you
What the hell has happened to you?
If only I knew...
CHORUS
This can't be a dream, a nightmare that I am living
But this can't be real, because I feel like I'm dreaming
If I'm not awake, then I'll live my life sleeping
And I'll live my life dreaming of you
I can't stay awake, but then you won't let me sleep
I just want to scream but you won't let me speak
You don't want to talk but then you won't let me leave
So now I live life when I sleep
William Butler Yeats, Never give all the heart
Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy. Kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.
Yesterday was a million years ago
In all my past lives I played an asshole
Now I found you, it's almost too late
And this earth seems obliviating
We are trembling in our crutches
High and dead our skin is glass
I'm so empty here without you
I crack my xerox hands
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll be together while the planet dies
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll never say goodbye
And the dogs slaughter each other softly
Love burns its casualties
We are damaged provider modules
Spill the seeds at our children's feet
I'm so empty here without you
I know they want me dead
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll be together while the planet dies
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll never say goodbye
LAST DAY ON EARTH - MARILYN MANSON
no, non è che ho scordato il mio goal è solo che per attuarlo ci vuole una concomitanza di eventi. ad esempio, oggi è una di quelle giornate -belle, di sole, pertanto dall'apparenza spesierata- in cui lo potrei attuare. ma non basta il tempo (quello met.): insomma mica che uno può morire così, senza aver allestito qualcosa ad arte; indubbiamente ci vuole un pò di stile anche per morire, dont' you think. anche perchè è l'ultima cosa che fai, falla con un pò di stile. e quando ti ricapita?
(dedicato ai miei fallimenti)
(scusa Cadavre, se mi auto-cito...)
la morte ci ama tutti o ci odia?
se si parte dal presupposto che la vita sia qualcosa di positivo, allora la morte ci odia tutti. ma è solo un presupposto: I mean, la vita non è 'uguale per tutti' -mi sembra chiaro- usa pesi e misure differenti per ciascuno di noi, trattandoci diversamente e, non certo, possiamo dire che lo fa in modo equo. therefore: la morte ci ama tutti? quantomeno tratta tutti allo stesso modo...
-difendi il re, quando il re non c'è più proteggi il popolo-
equivale a: questo giocattolo è rotto, speriamo che ce lo aggiustino.
