Il Dilúvio Universale

The universal flood

Love is not a fault
It's not a mystery
It's not a choice
It's not a thought

Love, like in the movies
Love like 'what's your sign?'
There's affinity, a drink, who knows if
Maybe something, something will happen

The love of this night
Doesn't matter at all
On the contrary, it's cursed
And damn
I won't come back
Because you have no future
And I already have little time for myself
Let alone for people like you

And meanwhile I take this subway
The only one who smiles is a whore

So I prefer to dream
Because that's how it is, I know
That I let myself go
And you remain the only one in the world
Like a room to be redone
You remain still at the altar
You're a song that I never
Knew how to sing

Love will happen
...Or maybe it already happened
But you didn't see it
And you only see it now

But tonight I'll stay home
Cooking life
As if it were a good buffet dish
I know, love is shameless
Love is selfish
Love is an act of necessity of you

And while I flip through another stupid newspaper
I think that deep down everything is normal

And meanwhile I prefer to dream
Because that's how it is, I know
That I let myself go

So I prefer to dream
Because from here reality
Hides better than
Under the universal flood

You, on the other side of the world
Like a room to be redone
You remain still at the altar
You're the song that I never
Knew how to sing
