Theory Of A Dead Man - Say I'm Sorry


As I sit in this coffee shop
Halfway through your note, I had to stop
Right near the end, the letter read

Maybe when I leave I'll lead a life less empty
Maybe we were waiting way too long to end this soap opera story
You'll accept just half of all these consequences
Maybe then that's when I'll finally say I'm sorry

Why didn't you, why didn't I, why couldn't we, I wonder why

She called me up the other day
And thank god I knew exactly what to say
You left me with this note and I quote from this note you wrote

Maybe when I leave I'll lead a life less empty
Maybe we were waiting way too long to end this soap opera story
You'll accept just half of all these consequences
Maybe then that's when I'll finally say I'm sorry

Why didn't you, why didn't I, why couldn't we, I wonder why
Why didn't you, why didn't I, why couldn't we, I wonder why
Why didn't you, why didn't I

Maybe when I leave I'll lead a life less empty
Maybe we were waiting way too long to end this soap opera story
You'll accept just half of all these consequences
Maybe then that's when I'll finally say I'm sorry
Whyd idn't you, why didn't I, why couldn't we, I wonder why
Maybe then that's when I'll finally say I'm sorry
Whyd didn't you, why didn't I

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left it’s seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
’neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out it’s warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper’d in the sounds of silence.

Simon & Garfunkel
Da: Il Laureato (1969)

Epica - The Obsessive Devotion

Don't you ever blind me
Don't be a foolish thief
- Am I?
Don't you ever bring yourself to grief

Don't you ever blind me
Don't ever trick my mind
- Did I?
Don't you think that you can lie to me
- Did I lie?

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.

I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else

Don't you choke and bind me
Don't be a bleeding heart
- Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
- Let us play!

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.

I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
I can't even recognize the path which has to be
Taken to enter infinity.

- Don't you dare me
I dare you
- You don't care about me
I care about you
- Don't you touch me
- Liar

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

Adoratio permanebit
Quotiens me eges, adero

I prefer to be unhappy with you,
Rather than being depressed without you.
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do…

I prefer to be a lair just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you

One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down, I realise that…
All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion

Venia ad vitam aeternam
Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis

Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish
Liar

Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura

I have raised myself for you
But now I regret

Venia ad vitam aeternam

This is the end

I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)

What do you get when you fall in love?
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm not
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Sulle strade del mio vivere
Non

[branca]

Guccini, Canzone quasi d'amore

Non starò più a cercare parole che non trovo
per dirti cose vecchie con il vestito nuovo,
per raccontarti il vuoto che, al solito, ho di dentro
e partorire il topo vivendo sui ricordi, giocando coi miei giorni, col tempo...

O forse vuoi che dica che ho i capelli più corti
o che per le mie navi son quasi chiusi i porti;
io parlo sempre tanto, ma non ho ancora fedi,
non voglio menar vanto di me o della mia vita costretta come dita dei piedi...

Queste cose le sai perchè siam tutti uguali
e moriamo ogni giorno dei medesimi mali,
perchè siam tutti soli ed è nostro destino
tentare goffi voli d' azione o di parola,
volando come vola il tacchino...

Non posso farci niente e tu puoi fare meno,
sono vecchio d' orgoglio, mi commuove il tuo seno
e di questa parola io quasi mi vergogno,
ma c'è una vita sola, non ne sprechiamo niente in tributi alla gente o al sogno...

Le sere sono uguali, ma ogni sera è diversa
e quasi non ti accorgi dell' energia dispersa
a ricercare i visi che ti han dimenticato
vestendo abiti lisi, buoni ad ogni evenienza, inseguendo la scienza o il peccato...

Tutto questo lo sai e sai dove comincia
la grazia o il tedio a morte del vivere in provincia
perchè siam tutti uguali, siamo cattivi e buoni
e abbiam gli stessi mali, siamo vigliacchi e fieri,
saggi, falsi, sinceri... coglioni!

Ma dove te ne andrai? Ma dove sei già andata?
Ti dono, se vorrai, questa noia già usata:
tienila in mia memoria, ma non è un capitale,
ti accorgerai da sola, nemmeno dopo tanto, che la noia di un altro non vale...

D' altra parte, lo vedi, scrivo ancora canzoni
e pago la mia casa, pago le mie illusioni,
fingo d' aver capito che vivere è incontrarsi,
aver sonno, appetito, far dei figli, mangiare,
bere, leggere, amare... grattarsi!

Plain White T's - Last Call


This is my last call to you
Then I'll give up everything
That we had, that we'd do
And you'll never hear me sing
All these songs about you
So just take this time and think
Just take this time and think

Think about the things that we had
The good times before they went bad
They're not gone just yet
It's all up to you
Think about the dreams in our heads
Layin' awake, holding on in my bed
Why don't you go ahead
And make them come true
I still believe in you


Think about the plans that we made
Drivin' around while the radio played
They may have gotten delayed
But they're waiting for you
Think about the look in my eyes
Saying I love you the very first time
Focused, not blind
And you said it too
I still believe in you


Think of everything, think of everything we had
Think of everything, think of everything we haven't had
Like livin' in the Midwest Club
Goin' on our honeymoon in Paris
Makin' out when we're grown up
Listening to the best man speech
From Darren
Think of everything we had
Knowing how it feels to be in love
And kisses that would drive us mad
Going to the Metro
Giving up what we will
Never have again
Will it ever be the the two of us again?

This is my last call to you
Then I'll give up everything
That we had, that we'd do
And you'll never hear me sing
All these songs about you
So just take this time and think
Plans we made but didn't see through
Just take this time and think
Memories, me and you
Just take this time and think
Dreams we had that never came true
Just take this time and think
The look in my eyes lookin' at you
Just take this time and think
Just take this time and think
Just take this time and think

[Hydra]

Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
Cruel enough for me to feel no grief

Never could have just a part of it
I always need more to get by
Getting right down to the heart of it
The root of all evil has been running my whole life

Dirty enough for me to lust
Leaving nothing left to trust
Jealous enough to still feel envious
Lazy enough to sleep all day
And let my life just waste away
Selfish enough to make you wait for me

Driven blindly by our sins
Misled so easily
Entirely ready to leave it behind
I'm begging to break free

Take all of me
The desires that keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me strength to face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can be


Self-centered fear has got a hold of me
Clutching my throat
Self righteous anger running all through me
Ready to explode

Procrastination paralyzing me
Wanting me dead
These obsessions that keep haunting me
Won't leave my head

Help to do for me what I can't do myself
Take this fear and pain
I can't break out of this prison all alone
Help me break these chains

Humility now my only hope
Won't you take all of me
Heal this dying soul

I can feel my body breaking
I can feel my body breaking
I'm ready to let it all go
I can feel my body shaking
Right down to the foundation
The root of it all

Take all of me
The desires that keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me strength to face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can be
I am ready
Come to me
Take me away

"LA NEVICATA DEL '56"

"Ti ricordi una volta
Si sentiva soltanto il rumore del fiume la sera
Ti ricordi lo spazio
I chilometri interi
Automobili poche allora
Le canzoni alla radio
Le partite allo stadio
Sulle spalle di mio padre
La fontana cantava
E quell'aria era chiara
Dimmi che era cos

[dark lady]

Io e te ne abbiam vista qualcuna - vissuta qualcuna
ed abbiamo capito per bene - il termine insieme
mentre il sole alle spalle pian piano ca giù
e quel sole vorresti non essere tu

e così hai ripreso a fumare - a darti da fare
è andata come doveva - come poteva
quante briciole restano dietro di noi
o brindiamo alla nostra o brindiamo a chi vuoi

l'amore conta
l'amore conta
conosci un altro modo
per fregar la morte?
nessuno dice mai se prima o poi
e forse qualche dio non ha finito con noi
l'amore conta

io e te ci siam tolti le voglie
ognuno i suoi sbagli
è un peccato per quelle promesse
oneste ma grosse
ci si sceglie per farselo un pò in compagnia
questo viaggio in cui non si ripassa dal via

l'amore conta - l'amore conta
e conta gli anni a chi non è mai stato pronto
nessuno dice mai che sia facile
e forse qualche dio non ha finito con te

grazie per il tempo pieno
grazie per la te più vera
grazie per i denti stretti
i difetti
per le botte d'allegria
per la nostra fantasia

l'amore conta
l'amore conta
conosci un altro modo per fregar la morte?
nessuno dice mai se prima o se poi
e forse qualche dio non ha finito con noi

l'amore conta
l'amore conta
per quanto tiri sai
che la coperta è corta
nessuno dice mai che sia facile
e forse qualche dio non ha finito con te
l'amore conta

(L'amore conta - Liga)

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MADE

What a difference a dame
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I’m part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

What a difference a day makes
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you
