lyrics

"APNEA"

Hold your breath
Retain sperm
Retain sweat, excrement, joy and even boredom

Retain dreams
Hold back tears
Hold back hunger, thirst, anger, and even

Everything hurts
Fear hurts more than anything else
Everything hurts
Tolerance is death by a thousand cuts

Retain beauty/fill up empty spaces
Retain justice/fill up empty spaces
Retain respect, contact, recklessness, and even innocence/fill up empty
Spaces

Refrain from sickness/fill up empty spaces
Retain fantasy/ fill up empty spaces
Retain light

Never pre-empt answers, dont ask questions,
It is like building yourself a prison
Dont adhere to confines or limits
Thats not the way out

One needs to know how to accept death
To start living
Accept defeat with inattention
To afterwards win

One needs to be at peace with oneself
To learn to love others.

- Testo (Italian):

"APNEA"

Trattenere il fiato
trattenere sperma
trattenere sudore, escrementi, gioia e anche la noia.

Trattenere i sogni
trattenere il pianto
trattenere fame, sete, rabbia e anche

Tutto fa male,
la paura fa male più dogni cosa.
Tutto fa male,
tollerare è uccidere con lentezza.

Trattenere bellezza/Riempire spazi vuoti
trattenere giustizia/Riempire spazi vuoti
trattenere rispetto, contatto, incoscienza e anche innocenza/Riempire spazi vuoti

Trattener malattia/Riempire spazi vuoti
trattener fantasia/Riempire spazi vuoti
trattenere
LUCE

Non suggerire mai risposte, non far domande,
è costruirsi una prigione;
non riconoscere confini e limiti
non è la via di fuga.

Bisogna sapere accettare la morte
per cominciare a vivere;
accogliere distrattamente sconfitte,
per poi vincere.

Bisogna star bene da soli
Per imparare ad amare.
