Di Giada e di Brina (of jade and brine)

lyrics

NON PUOI RESTARE ANCORA QUI
TI HO GIA' LASCIATA INDIETRO
NEL MIO DESERTO DI VETRO
NEL QUADRO DEI COLPEVOLI
SEI MENO DI UN RICORDO, E SE CI PENSI NEANCHE ESISTI
E' UN'ORA MILLENARIA
E' COME UN VUOTO D'ARIA
E HO LE VERTIGINI...

ORMAI NON TI ASPETTAVO PIU'
COME NON SI ATTENDE LA QUINTA STAGIONE
CI PROVERO' A DIMENTICARMI
CHE NON HO PIU' QUEI GIORNI
E NON ESISTE UN'OCCASIONE
E' UN DOLCE FALLIMENTO CHE TRACCIA IL VUOTO DENTRO

SUL TRENO IN CORSA NON TI AVREI MAI CHIESTO
DI AGGRAPPARMI A TE
POSSEDERTI, OSTENTARTI COME SI FA COI DIAMANTI
E CALA SU DI ME LA GHIGLIOTTINA
UNA CAREZZA FATTA DI GIADA E DI BRINA
MA IL TRENO E' FERMO IN ME
RESTO AL BUIO
TE NE ACCORGI MAI DA TE?
APRI GLI OCCHI SU DI ME

IL VORTICE TI SCOPRE IL VISO SOLO PER META'
E POLVERE NASCONDE LE TUE IRIDI DI GIA'
IL VENTO CHE TI SCOPRE IL VISO NON CANCELLERA'
LA POLVERE CHE VESTE LE TUE IRIDI
DI GIADA E BRINA

APRI GLI OCCHI SU DI ME
APRI GLI OCCHI

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

YOU CAN’T STAY HERE ANYMORE
I JUST LEFT YOU BEHIND IN MY GLASS DESERT
IN THE PICTURE OF THE GUILTIES,
YOU’RE LESS THAN A MEMORY
AND IF YOU THINK, YOU’LL FIND YOU DON’T EVEN EXIST
IT’S A MILLENARY HOUR
IT’S LIKE AN AIR POCKET
AND I FEEL DIZZY

I’VE BEEN NOT ANYMORE WAITING FOR YOU
AS NOBODY WAITS FOR THE FIFTH SEASON
I’LL TRY TO FORGET
THAT I LOST THOSE DAYS, THAT THERE ISN’T ANY CHANCE REALLY
IT’S A SWEET FAILURE DRAWING EMPTINESS INSIDE

ON THE RUNNING TRAIN I’D NEVER ASK YOU TO HANG ON ME
I WOULDN’T OWN YOU, I WOULDN’T FLAUNT YOU LIKE SOME DIAMOND
HERE COMES OVER ME THE GUILLOTINE
A CARESS MADE OF JADE AND BRINE
BUT THE TRAIN STAYS STILL IN ME
I KEEP MYSELF IN THE DARKNESS
DO YOU EVER NOTICE IT BY YOURSELF?
OPEN YOUR EYES ON ME

THE VORTEX ONLY REVEALS HALF OF YOUR FACE
AND DUST ALREADY CONCEALS YOUR IRISES
THE WIND UNCOVERING YOUR FACE WON’T EASE THE DUST
THAT COLOURS YOUR IRISES BY JADE AND BRINE

OPEN YOUR EYES ON ME
OPEN YOUR EYES

Toygrace Roma, Italy

Average or not, this is Toygrace. Toygrace is Ema's mind and Laura's voice, a peculiar crossing between british and mediterranean taste, old fashioned melodies and modern sounds, formed in Rome, Italy, in summer 2009, from the encounter of Ema (composer, keyboardist, guitarist, producer) and Laura (vocalist). Nothing pre-figured, just average feelings from average people. ... more
