Blizzard [English translation]

I'm asking you if you're

a savage beast or a saint

But you are one and the other

And so much more

You are infinitely many

The one who despises

The one who harms, the one who is, the one who searches

and all the others together

Make mistakes

Be careless

Not everything is fragile

Don't expect anything from yourself

Because you are sacred, because you are alive

Because the most important thing is not what you are

But what you chose to be

Can you hear it? Of course you can hear it

the murmur; the deafening and permanent murmur,

it has taken over the city and the spirits,

it walks the streets screaming.

The deafening and permanent murmur

like a parasitic noise inside you that exhausts you,

that whispers in the ear of everyone "you're no good,

you're good for nothing, you'll never be good enough",

that repeats to you "you are like that, or you should be,

nothing would change if you changed. "

The deafening and permanent murmur

that hopes to pull you down to the ground by shouting:

"Don't try to rewrite history,

you'll never make it it's too late,

it's a done deal, it's imprinted in the memories."

The deafening and continuous murmur

That makes you think there's no redemption

no forgiveness, no do-overs, no remission

and you accept it, you let it in.

Woh woh woh what are you doing? Stop!

What's gotten into you to do things like this?

Why are you harming yourself this way?

What's wrong?

Tell me, you know you can tell me everything

But nah that's all bullshit and you know it

Look me in the eyes

Look at me. We don't give a fuck. It's not important

I find you beautiful

since the first time I saw you

Actually, I've never gotten over it

And then what would I do without you?

And then what would the universe do without you?

It can never work. It's impossible

So don't cry. You musn't cry because it'll all be ok

I promise, it'll all be ok

Because we're among those who heal,

those who resist, those who believe in miracles;

not those who believe that if the tables turn it's because someone kicks them with their foot.

One day we won't even thing about it anymore,

we'll have forgotten it all, as if it had never existed

What do I have to do

for you to get your shit together

to wipe theis shit from your eyes?

You've got everything!

You've got all the cards!

You've got, you've got everything! You're way too beautiful you bastard!

You son of a bitch! You're burning me! You're burning me so much!

Along with all the others too,

that are burning me too strongly!

It's giving me scars.

I'm here. I'm ready for everything.

I'm ready to go to hell, I'm carrying you on my back.

I'm taking the blows, look, I'm taking the blows

And you, you're sitting, you planted your ass down!

You refuse to get out of your cell.

But don't you see that I need you?

Don't you see that if you do nothing you're useless?

How much longer will this continue?

Will you stand alongside the rails

like a cow staring at the train?

Until you can't anymore or

or till they put you in a wooden box?

Stop smirking! That smirk there, that stinks of failure!

Come on give me back that daddy smile

but from another point of view you're right,

it's so much easier to smile,

rather than being happy.

I'm asking you if you're

a savage beast or a saint

But you are one and the other

And so much more

You are infinitely many

The one who despises

The one who harms, the one who is, the one who searches

and all the others together

Make mistakes

Be careless

Not everything is fragile

Don't expect anything from yourself

Because you are sacred, because you are alive

Because the most important thing is not what you are

But what you chose to be

Can you hear us, Blizzard? Can you hear us?

If you can hear us, go fuck yourself

You thought you were going to get us.

You thought we hadn't seen anything?

Surprise, asshole!

Can you hear us, Shame? Can you hear us?

If you can hear us, be careful when you go home at night all alone

We might want to restructure your jaw with metal objects

Or wash your head with lead

What do you say about that?

Can you hear us, Sadness? Can you hear us?

If you can hear us, it means that you, too, will soon pack your bags, take the first left, second on the right, then another left and go fuck your kin

Congratulations! Cheers!

Can you hear us, Death? Can you hear us?

If you can hear us, know that we're not afraid,

You can shoot all you want, we'll still move forward, you won't be able to stop us, and we won't leave anyone behind, we won't let anyone be eliminated.

All of this is over!

Can you hear us, Dignity? Can you hear us?

If you can hear us, know that we've got a knee on the ground and that we're sorry

We're sorry for all the things we might have done to you,

But we'll change!

We'll become good people, you'll see!

And one day you'll be proud of us

Can you hear us, Love? Can you hear us?

If you can hear us, you have to come back

Because we're ready now, this is it.

We've fucked up, it's true, but since then we've understood

And now we've got our palms open and our heart inside

You have to take it and bring it with you

Can you hear us, Universe? Can you hear us?

If you can hear us, we're coming!

We would like to understand everything, know everything, see everything, live everything

We're looking for the door to the new world so we can melt into it big time

Can you hear us, You who is waiting? Can you hear us?

If you can hear us, remember that you're not alone; never!

There are so many of us who are a bit crooked, a bit strange

But in our heads there's a blizzard,

like the mystic, losers with big hearts;

We must sound the alarm, meet together again, find each other again, kiss each other,

We must become billions of hands on billions of shoulders

We must remind ourselves that boredom is a crime,

Life is the heist of the century, a fucking red chili pepper

Go fuck your mother, Blizzard!

Go fuck your mother, Blizzard!

All of this is over!

Go fuck your mother, Blizzard

When the only thing you feel capable of

is lying down curled up and thinking of nothing.

Go fuck your mother, Blizzard.

If you feel sliding down there will be hands to catch you

Go fuck your mother, Blizzard.

Digging, to the end. Stopping only when everything is cleared away.

Go fuck your mother, Blizzard.

You'll get there, you'll breathe air

and you'll realize that something has changed.

Go fuck your mother, Blizzard.

The night will be calm. No one will be left behind.

Go fuck your mother, Blizzard.

There will be pain, sorrow but we'll stay standing.
