Closer 03:10
Dear Santa give me a safe home dear Mom teach me how to survive dear Jesus, let me go back dear no one tell me a peaceful word Come here, come closer that's what you need to know come here, come closer that's what must be done Joyful shining desperate tears hundred million foreign smiles Come here come closer

Deeply loved a piece of her heart still so young but she knows what love is feeling like a mother of a sweet boy feeling him so strongly inside White wall slot closed doors people running around wombs screaming so far from her blood she can feel his heartbeat inside her flesh I can grow up with you we can grow up together you can’t grow up with me we can't grow up together

Glasses 03:43
The train was coming with is load of goods human beings unbelievable stories I saw your back going away I knew what it means when you strongly look at the river I heard you calling my name like a previous goodbye trying to get back to me drowning in an empty glass of rum outing from an empty glass of rum I know what it means to be nearly dead writing some lyrics to feel still alive early in the morning when all around sleeps trying to get back to life

Children fools and drunkards always tell the truth don't tell me lies please no more lies don't ask me again don't ask me to cross the line here's not where I was born we're not weak inside a storm Children fools and drunkards always tell the truth don't tell me lies please no more no more lies that's not a place to stay find the birds and fly away this is not a joke we're not blind inside a flock
5.
A warm bright sunshine through the cold dark branches bare leafless trees in winter clothes a tireless woodpecker is knocking at the door of the greatest pine bent in a strong angry wind Beautiful grey sky everyone can learn how to love you So hard nights and days just behind and over under or upon the sky a kind of magic it's Christmas time grey becomes red and white and sober becomes drunk Hold on go on fell the wall homeless loneliness needing love back to home
6.
Empty Rooms 01:43
An empty room and me and you sorry dear I have to go sorry man I've lost enough sorry dear I've lost the faith I want to sleep until I'll feel better here in this small bed all around smells of you don't wake me up I was so still I was unreal I can't believe your untold words I rather still believe in me
7.
That Was... 01:25
That was my heart those were my seeds But now just silence and a state of grace I believe in the light that shines and grows up That lit the darkness of that clayey ground that lit all my nights and the nights to come
8.
On the Grass 02:32
…and I can feel your breath under my head pulsations signs of life and I can feel your breath Lying on the grass feeling the dew tasting your skin smelling the sound of a glance … and I can feel your breath under my head under my skin lying on the grass … and I can feel your breath lying on the grass
9.
Goodnight 03:32
Take your time for your speech take your time to bleed To play your role in this world to walk inside your dreams Nothing is real and there's no one no one but you and I goodnight is what I thought at the end of my time

about

The album is made up of nine songs, all based on the concept of "place" and each one connected to the next by a "fil rouge"; all of them try to talk about the essence of human existence, the struggle for survival in a seemingly cosmopolitan and strongly competitive world where the resources are not enough, where people in need are defeated by their impotent existence in a globalized and consumerist state of madness, where thousands of people are forced to leave their home, their own families, for the most disparate and desperate motivations.
