lyrics

Ode To Childhood (Piero Scaruffi):

When i was a child, the world,
with all its mysteries scattered
all around my body, was a question
that i dared not ask. I was not afraid:
i was overwhelmed. I did not know yet
the language that could weave together
the words, the sounds, the meaning
which, like a new map, were replacing
the twitching fabric of my dreams.

In the wake of the dying kite,
I understood the meaning of time,
of everybody's time, of the fear
that wise ancient masters buried
in the gilded spires of churches.

At a beach far away from any ocean,
I, the observer, stood in awe of life
and its infinity: I was nowhere nothing,
but life was always there, and beyond.
I, the wave, ran deep into the woods
to feel it into my soul, to learn
its tongue, boundless strains of myth
pervading every cell of my brain.

Since then I, the eigenstate, often toasted
to the life of infinity, because everywhere
everything appeared the same, and nowhere
did nothingness transpire. Life is the name
for the emerging infinity of all infinities.
