Il Niente [English translation]

I wake up but it's better that I come back to sleep

I study but without understanding

With empty advances and crushes my face

A God that drive you away from the Heaven.

I don't even go to looking for a job

Attending contest and then they win

It's so fast, violent, unconscious

I try to understand but I lose myself in nothing

Nothing, nothing, nothing

I wake up and around me is a tabula rasa

Of friends, loves, I barricade myself at home

Instead my father, as good guy,

Really believes in a fucking life.

Now we have not talked of years and we don't live together

But he can to love me

An invisible love that seems absent

He's a man who can believe to nothing

To nothing, to nothing, to nothing

I wake up definitively

From a bed of already seen and said things

And I take the past, the future and the present

I drown then in a hole, the hole of nothing ...

And I meet my mother, who's been died for a year

With her usually big sore smile

She says it passes, she says bear it

We need to learn also loving the nothing

Nothing, nothing, nothing

I wake up from this sheet of salt

You are my cathedral in the desert

So, we are far away

And our secrets become anguishes

We fumble in the bed but we are far

We have all, we have not tomorrow

And because of fear we cum, we lie

But sex alone is the love of nothing

Nothing, nothing, nothing

A war of hungry and rubble awaits us

Earth spits our miseries

And among the noise of violent parties

There always is someone who songs nothing ...

Nevertheless, there is something of value yet

The will to meet people

Life is a boy who screams newspaper

Instead silence is the voice of nothing

Nothing, nothing, nothing

Nothing, nothing, nothing
