lyrics

Would you’ve held my gaze
If I had worn a mask to say hi
And repeat the yarns told by flies?
Would you’ve spent your time
In my den if I was a smart hound
With a full bowl and flamboyant fur?
Would you have taken a ride
On my sport car if I had drank
All the juicy fuel left in the tank?
‘Cause in the end
All I can understand is that

It wasn’t enough to buy what they bought
It wasn’t enough to take the road they built
It wasn’t enough to hallow the idols they worship
It wasn’t enough to chew the gum they spit.

Would you’ve followed my traces
If I had eaten my legs to crawl
Up to the ruins of burger kiosk?
Would you’ve smelled my flavors
If I had swam in a pool of puke?
Would you’ve ripped my sere yellow leaf
If I would’ve planted oaks
In my eyesockets to grow a wood
Where breeding grey owls?
‘Cause in the end
All I can understand is that

It wasn’t enough to get millions of likes
It wasn’t enough to get lost in a tide of calls
It wasn’t enough to smile to faceless crowds
It wasn’t enough to scream at walls of shattered eyes.

It wasn’t enough to smile and bow
To conceil ther price of a painful life
If their handshakes hide claws
And their french kisses snaketongues?

‘Cause in the end
They weren’t meant to accept us.
The mission of the mass is
Filling the evergrowing (unstoppable) carcass.

It wasn’t enough to chew the gum they spit.

AFAN Alessandro Fantini Italy

Devoted to the "multimedianic" quest for the over-human identity hidden in the infinite stream of illusions surrounding humankind, Alessandro Fantini's musical journey can be hardly described with the terms of a conventional sound experience. His approach to instruments and electronic devices is intuitive and irrational as well as the visions he captures on canvas and on digital video. ... more
