about

This is the oldest song on the album. I started writing it more than 10 years ago I guess, with my mate from Doctor Cyclops Francesco Filippini. It never really fit that project, so it ended up locked in a drawer…until this record came out.

lyrics

Life means more than a deal with her
I know some things you could misunderstand
And there’s no one you can blame on

Life, you wish it all depends on you
You’re always looking for somebody or some where and you wish it all depends on you
You’re always looking for someone or something all the ways
You can wait for your own moment but you could burst out into flames

And now she’s missing her gun
(I am on my way)
The eagle nest is empty dreams like falling water drift away
(But they’re still floating around)
No one can run and win the race for you, no no no no!

Mama I’ve been waiting all my days
And mama I don’t wanna wait
Mama I’ve begging on my knees
And mama I don’t wanna pray
‘cause I could wait for my own moment but I could burst out into flames

My fairy friends have gone away
(They left me with my pride)
Lake of Memory calls my soul
(And the ravens pick my mind)
Loneliness it’s time to heal you
Forgiveness I implore
On the ground I’m gonna leave you
Just the shadow of a rose

Mama I’ve been waiting all my days
And mama I don’t wanna wait
Mama I’ve been begging on my knees
And mama I don’t wanna pray
‘cause I could wait for my own moment but I could burst out into flames

Life means more than a deal with her
I know some things I could misunderstand
She’s not someone you can blame on
