Nell'estasi o Nel Fango
Michele Zarrillo
In Ecstasy or In the Mud
A promise is not enough
Nor even an answer
I almost don't believe the words anymore
I feel like breaking my silence
Finding a bit of peace
And the courage that is not there
Friend, I understand you
I know this look
You are tired just like me
Tired of searching for a reason
And you imagine a hug
That won't hurt you anymore, never again
I wish it were true
I wish it's clear now
I'm here as you see
I'm still standing
Whether in ecstasy or in the mud
I don't care
How much strength it will take
I will sail in open sea
To the end of the world
Until you want it too
Confused among people
There are those who pray and those who lie
And those who talk about things they don't know
Close but at a distance
From a screen in a room
But it doesn't change
How little humanity there is
I feel like looking you straight in the face
Telling you everything and talking to you like I've never done before
And living every moment with who is now more important
Moving forward not going back anymore
I wish it were true
I wish it's clear now
I'm here as you see
I'm still standing
Whether in ecstasy or in the mud
I don't care
How much strength it will take
Even in the deepest darkness
Of the night I know I won't get lost
My thoughts wander towards new stars
They reach to infinity and don't stop from up here
And I find myself further and lighter
Where everything is different and there is no more fear
And all the time we have left is not enough
It's not enough
I wish it were true
But I'm still standing
Whether in ecstasy or in the mud
I don't care
How much strength it will take
I take a deeper breath
I'm ready
To risk a bit more, a bit more
More
