About the lyrics... (I)
Speaking for myself, something curious went on during the last year or so. Before, I was not a writer even for verse (althought many years ago I wrote some stupid lyrics to my former bands). I'm not into poetry and the books I"ve been reading in the last 7 years are only techically-oriented (I have a post-degree in Law and accomplished to be Lawyer). This is the first difficulty I found to become a writer.
The other was something I do not wish for anybody: the companion (?) of someone that, among other abuses, forced me "into the armour". I went so deeply closed into myself, I was unable to speak (nor write) a thing about any feeling, concern, whatever that would express anything than concrete awarenesses. That was my world then...
So, something happened. Overnight I was set free from this "presence" and, after some time..I found myself simply writing down what I was experiencing. The good and bad. I went outside the shell and truly started to put my ideas on paper.
The catharsis I described above is the theme for the song "Distance and Silence". Course I won't name her, but I definetely made it for the girl that turned my life into living hell for years of a stillborn relationship. Some people really seem to have a great time takin' you for a fool, and that was the case. So, one afternoon I began to remember what happened and...voìlá, here's the spell...

Distance and Silence
Down and low, livin' on denial
No good for lovin', I just didn't know
Concealed in care, let me unaware
These days in trouble I cannot forget
I asked myself "what you did that for?"
You were so cold, my mind went torn
Then when I realized u can't feel what is love
I got the answer, could take it no more!
No more I would move backwards
Not again I would take your complaints
Not once I've warned you
No way I'll give another chance!
I left with nothin' but regrets to mesmerize
Kept nothin' good by livin' by your side
Spare me your false, there's nothin' more to hide
Good times roll as you are left behind
Growin' confident as I escape mourning hall
I stick to my beliefs - they never let me down
Seekin' serenity my sweat soaks the ground
I earn my life back, I will rise from fall
No more I would move backwards
Not again I would take your complaints
Not once I've warned you
No way I'll give another chance!
Even you understand my hasty hard words
"Never come back, nor talk to me anymore"
Leave me alone, once and for all
Distance and silence - all I want from you!
No more I would move backwards
Not again I would take your complaints
Not once I've warned you
No way I'll give another chance!

So bitter, one could say...Yeah, but also hopeful. The statement is clear... the evil made will not be back again. Once you cut it's roots, everything is okay. And in the meanwhile, some thinking about itself is helpful to bring life back on its rails.
Good times rolled as she was left behind :)

That's all, for now. Today we go rehearsing again...

My loudest cheers to you!
