lyrics

CLAUSTROPHILIA (Translation Italian to English)

Flow, steps on the paving, everyone has to
pass someone;
Flow, counting one by one the cars going down
the bridge,
praying that my waiting is not morphine but medicine.

I wish I was a seat on a tram waiting for you,
no matter who you are, when you are far away
I'll keep the same dignity.

Flow, an aged look that stares and
goes through steel sheets into
a silent building site;
Flow, a tired swarmling of words, tossing and turning under dirty sheets,
and lulling me with shouts and stale promises.

My mind is like a dream that doesn't see what's going on,
There are hopes that never come back.

Like many dolls at the window on a plane that sooner
or later will fall,
freer than ever, freer than ever, freer than ever
freer than...

CLAUSTROFILIA (Original language)

Scorrere, passi a singhiozzo sul selciato, ognuno deve superare qualcuno;
scorrere, contando una ad una le macchine che vanno via giù da un ponte;
pregando che la mia attesa non sia morfina ma medicina.

Vorrei essere un posto a sedere che ti aspetta su un tram, non importa chi sei, quando sarai via avrò la stessa dignità.

Scorrere, sguardo di vecchio che fisso attraversa lamiere di un muto cantiere;
scorrere, brulichio stanco di parole, che s'agita insonne tra lenzuola sporche
e dolce mi culla di urla e di ammuffite promesse.

La mia mente è un sogno che non vede quello che accade, ci sono speranze che non tornano mai più.

Come tante bambole alla finestra su un aereo che prima o poi cadrà,
più liberi che mai, più liberi che mai, più liberi che mai, più liberi...
