about

"The past is a full armor that I can’t shake off, no matter how many times I convince myself that this war is over." (Vietnam War veteran)

lyrics

War has entered our life
As a poison
And something subtle
Has changed in me…

SHE
In that little corner of the world
Where we nurtured our love
You were always yourself
I was semper us

And I always lose
This math is wrong
In fact, we always lose
But you seem to see nothing…

HE
I'm here, somewhere, somehow
Like a useless mixture
Of solids and liquids, in a way
Blended with pain, rage, and despair

I am protecting you
From the demons that dwell in me
I am an empty, lost battleship
From another war, in another time

CHORUS I
I love you, mostly your fragility
But at least give me a piece
It doesn’t need
To be permanent
Or mine

Just want to check your pulse and breath

War has never left our life
because it’s a poison
And something dead
Now abides inside me…

SHE
In our tiny hideout, long ago
That one we could trust
I always went first, daring
To be torn by the traps, alone

And you always lose
But don’t manage to see
You look for an anesthetic patch
Even knowing after
It’s worthless…

HE
A diaphanous figure, you
As an air elemental
Pass right through me
Looking for me

I'm deeply sorry
A memento mori
I may vanish in a sudden
And I started to worry
That we're getting tired of... me

CHORUS II
I love you, even your mistakes
But at least give one to me
It doesn’t matter
If it will hurt
Or heal

Just want to check your vital signs
I need to check your vital signs
