Parole Vuote (La Solitudine) (feat. Capo Plaza)
Tedua
Empty Words (Loneliness)
I made this choice and I gotta move fast to aim for the top
If you can keep up with me, then I won’t leave you alone anymore
And I’ll make quick choices with my head banging on your window
You still don’t get me, all I have left is an honest new life
And it’s no coincidence I don’t call you and I don’t invade your space anymore
I’m grateful for that past, but it’s been so long
That you wouldn’t see me like this, you wouldn’t know who’s to blame
And I don’t care, what matters is it won’t come back
So face the present and be aware
Because nothing gets solved with half-assed efforts
Baby, I’ll be waiting at the poets’ tavern
The pen I use to write my poems
The powers you hold are full of mysteries
And you don’t hide, but you freeze the Eskimos
Months and months, but where were you?
Not to mention that yesterday
You showed up more messed up and didn’t know (Ah)
How much it could hurt you
Loneliness isn’t the solution to problems
I’m coming back alone
And I don’t find myself in the people
I met along the way
And they left me with just empty words (Words)
Every time I try
Even if I mess up, I learn again
But at the first slip, it just slides away
How much more pain will loneliness bring you
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness
Even if you’re not the same as before
I still remember the knock on the door
When you were still using and spinning around
And then you screamed: Get out, it’s not you
This is my battle with the pain
Of an addiction that’s hurting me
That’s got me backed against the wall
Come here, yeah, but sit down and have a drink, let’s take it slow
But at the piano bar, do you wanna tell me what’s wrong?
Grew up in those shady spots, in the landscapes, in the neighborhoods
Ghosts wanna hurt me, taste the wine
You have no one close to confide in
You’re lost, you asked too much from someone without ever giving back
Maybe you don’t believe in fate, but you’re not self-sufficient alone
How much does it take to turn your back on a friend?
And I thought you’d learned to love yourself to love a neighbor first
In the last circle, I search for you until morning along the path, the wind on the sheet music
I’m coming back alone
And I don’t find myself in the people
I met along the way
And they left me with just empty words (Words)
Every time I try
Even if I mess up, I learn again
But at the first slip, it just slides away
How much more pain will loneliness bring you
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Loneliness, loneliness
Yeah, yeah
And I’m caught between a rock and a hard place, in filthy basements
She wasn’t the only one, now I’m smoking in solitude
The more the bill piles up, the more alone I feel, I stay humble
I pray for friends who have everything in the judge’s hands
This money runs, it doesn’t sleep
I’ve lost brothers and, no, they don’t come back
Inside my iris, there’s a dollar
I was born for this and I won’t sell out, no
Sitting in my spot, they can’t screw me over
Now we’re alone and the room’s getting hotter
Outside I hear gunshots and the sixth ambulance of the day passes by
And there’s another knife in my gut
Everyone betrayed me, but don’t you do it, yeah, yeah
I’m coming back alone
And I don’t find myself in the people
I met along the way
And they left me with just empty words (Words)
Every time I try
Even if I mess up, I learn again
But at the first slip, it just slides away
[Chorus]
How much more pain will loneliness bring you
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Loneliness, loneliness
That's Shune, am I right?
