To all who have committed suicide
"On Death" by John Keats
Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream,
And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by?
The transient pleasures as a vision seem,
And yet we think the greatest pain's to die.
How strange it is that man on earth should roam,
And lead a life of woe, but not forsake
His rugged path; nor dare he view alone
His future doom which is but to awake.

Walking in your shoes
When there's so little of the moon in the sky
I feel like I could die
But I haven’t tears to cry
Baby, I’m dry
So brief our joys last
where do I start
Please world, make it stop
I’m giving up
I’m falling apart
Oh, I’m falling apart
The time is going slow
everything is passing by
an everlasting goodbye
The time is running low
that’s how it goes
When the sky is empty like tonight
Seems like there’s no light
I could give up the ghost
to ruin what matters most
I want to disappear
and stop holding the wheel
Please World, make it stop
just forget about me
just let me go
Oh, just let me go
Like I never be
never was
and never will
I want to run away
and never come back
I can’t hold this weight
my heart is turning gray
I want to run away
and never turn back
I can’t hold this weight
My heart is fucking drain
My heart is fucking drain!
My heart is fucking drain!

on a loop
I must admit
I can't explain
Any of these thoughts racing
through my brain
It's true
Baby, I'm howlin' for you
There's something wrong
with this plot
The actors here
have not got
a clue
Baby, I'm howlin' for you
Mockingbird,
Can't you see?
Little girl's
got a hold on me
like glue
Baby, I'm howlin' for you
Throw the ball
to the stick
Swing and miss and a
catcher's mitt
Strike two
Baby, I'm howlin' for you

X
We have to accept our life
Embrace change
‘Cause nothing stay the same
Search for our peace of mind
Leaving all the bad things behind
Learn, love and never hate
Accept that we are the only variable
that needs
to be
calculate

R.I.P.
to the Great Barrier Reef
In March 2017, the journal Nature published a paper showing that huge sections of a 500-mile stretch in the northern part of the reef had died in the course of 2016 due to high water temperatures, an event that the authors put down to the effects of global climate change.

Pity
"Miserable people love to make other people miserable.
I don't hate them, I just feel sorry for them."

The Human Abstract - William Blake
Pity would be no more
If we did not make somebody Poor;
And Mercy no more could be
If all were as happy as we.
And mutual fear brings peace,
Till the selfish loves increase:
Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.
He sits down with holy fears,
And waters the ground with tears;
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.
Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of Mystery over his head;
And the Caterpillar an the Fly
Feed on the Mystery.
And it bears the fruit of Deceit,
Ruddy and sweet to eat;
And the Raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade.
The Gods of the earth and sea
Sought thro' Nature to find this Tree;
But their search was all in vain:
There grows one in the Human Brain.

XIII
I crossed a man with no face
a thousand years
All his memoirs
went with the wind, they say
left no scars, left no trace
I stared at him in the eyes
he glanced me back
You should have to see them
dead inside and pitch black
Man, they were cold like ice
Oh, he’s coming
He’s coming for all of us, you know?
It’s hard to believe, but it’s true
At some point in this life you have to let it go
‘cause the next one could be you
Calm and forceful
as he is first and last
He walked towards me
and it was clear
Don’t be scared, my dear
Don’t you dare, don’t you dare to have fear
At the crossroad he said
with raven voice and dark sight
“Baby, it’s worthless fight
Don’t run, don’t even try
the only thing left you to do
is... to die.”
Oh he’s coming
He’s coming for all of us, rest assured
Are you worried, even if his being is pure?
Oh, he’s coming
He’s coming for all of us, you know?
It’s hard to believe, but it's true
At some point in this life you have to let it go
because the next one could be you
the next one could be you
the next one could be you

H. R. Giger
Oggi sono andata a vedere una piccola mostra di un vero genio, Hans Ruedi Giger, il padre del surrealismo biomeccanico che poi ha ispirato, molti anni dopo, Ridley Scott (Giger ha fatto soldi solo con la collaborazione in Alien che gli è valsa l'oscar nel 1980!). Mi sono lasciata trascinare in questo mondo oscuro, restando completamente affascinata da un artista che fino a poco tempo fa conoscevo solo di nome, e probabilmente il trip di questa esperienza echeggerà nelle settimane a venire. Un incubo nell'incubo, ispirato da un animo straordinariamente sensibile di un cervello sotto acidi.
In ogni caso mi ha fatto pensare a come ogni forma di arte influenzi la mia vita e la mia crescita personale. Ogni. Forma.
Poiché vedo arte ovunque guardi o tenda l'orecchio; ogni suono può diventare musica e una pennellata, un'opera. L'arte spazia da quella di strada all'espressività che Caravaggio conferisce ai volti, dalle canzoni dei Pink Floyd a quelle di Ludovico Einaudi. Bisogna solo imparare ad ascoltare veramente e non solo udire, osservare da diverse prospettive, senza limitarsi a vedere e basta.
E così l'ispirazione è sempre dietro l'angolo per ognuno di noi.

Boundaries
"I understand now that boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention if only one can first conceive of doing so. Moments like this, I can feel your heart beating as clearly as I feel my own, and I know that separation is an illusion. My life extends far beyond the limitations of me."

Goddess
“What it is a Goddess?
A woman who is in the process of learning to know, accept and love herself on all levels: mind, body and spirit. A woman who, because she focuses on personal growth and self awareness, experiences a life increasingly filled with peace, love, joy, passion and fun. A woman that understands that she has unlimited capacity to make her life anything she wants. A woman who is inspired to give, to those around her, a sense of gratitude and abundance.”

Question Mark
What are you dreaming about tonight?
There’s something hiding in plain sight
infinite distance tied in a love knot
but how will you connect the dots?
You keep asking yourself
what's the thing that breaks the boundaries of time?
Our bodies perfectly melted together
How could that be a crime?
So many questions
spinning in your head
Is it just the power of suggestion?
Oh, dance with me
and forget all of this
There's no answer for the unable to find
the heaven’s peace in his mind
What did you dream last night?
Blue, red, flesh and sweat,
you keep seeing all of it
How will you erase it from your mind?
Finding home in each other’s arms
How much time it would last?
Your head against my heart
Is this affection, love or lust?
So many questions
revolving in my head
Is it just my projection?
Oh, come with me
and forget all of this
There will be no answer for us
not until we'll be apart
Oh, come with me
Oh, come to me
and forget all of this
Oh, come to me
and forget all of this

In-to
Into her loving arms
my darkness found itself
And I will never feel truly alone
'cause there will always be a place
I could call home

Freedom
"Freedom and love go together.
Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something — and it is only such love that can know freedom."

Once upon a time
He was a wolf to my eyes
now he's a dog on a leash
too short, so tight
He’s messed up
on his knees
covered with dust
a pale shadow
of what he used to be
Once he shined at first sight
a flame who burned up
too quickly, so bright
Lost, roaming
without a destination
Blind, ‘cause he can’t see
it’s not the solution to hide
the fall of the beast
He was noble and I was proud
Then he bent, he bowed
now a domesticated pet
too weak, so wretched
Dogs and wolves don’t mix
because to the first
the dare to be wild
the courage to rise
it doesn’t fit
now he's a dog on a leash
too short, so tight
He’s messed up
on his knees
covered with dust
a pale shadow

too quickly, so bright
Lost, roaming
without a destination
Blind, ‘cause he can’t see
it’s not the solution to hide
