Vivo di sponda quasi in bilico un ubriaco in equilibrio instabile
Le spalle al muro la testa persa fra le nuvole resto nascosto dentro un labirinto di pensieri
Sterili verso lacrime inutili resto immobile come un mimo sopra il palcoscenico guardo e
Aspetto il peggio il tempo scorre costante coprendomi di polvere i miei pensieri
Bolle che vedo salire verso la superficie come pesci che decidono
Di volare prima di morire e inevitabilmente scoppiano
Lo sguardo è perso in quel vuoto che va sotto il nome di
Concentrazione due sole cose si distinguono chiaramente l'incertezza delle scelte
Ela solitudine che contraddistingue ogni buon giocatore resto solo chiuso nel mio angolo
Guardo e aspetto che la situazione passi senza lasciare tracce che feriscano
Sono la vittima e il carnefice ,il primo ostacolo forse l'unico di sicuro ostico
Come un cieco in preda al panico perso in mezzo al traffico resto nel kaos viaggio sui binari dei miei limiti
Non do nell'occhio e mi nascondo dietro maschere che fingono un sorriso
Mi arrampico su impalcature che in un baleno crollano l'impalcatura è ormai caduta
Il rumore è sordo sono in preda al panico fuggo dentro un buco
Con gli artigli tesi contro il vento in un gesto inutile segnali poco chiari
Sono ormai la regola e sguardi senza appiglio si perdono nel dedalo di aspirazioni più grandi del mio animo
Sono la vittima e l'ira ingoia la mia logica

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
