Frammenti di Holocron

Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand

Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy?

Heaven is in the palm of my hand and it's waiting here for you

What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?

If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?

If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?

Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dream

It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me

You're like a dagger, and stick me in the heart

And taste the blood from my blade

And when we sleep, would you shelter me in your warm and darkend grave?

If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?

If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?

Will you ever take me? No I just can't take the pain

Would you ever trust me? No I'll never feel the same

I know I've been so hard on you; I know I've told you lies

If I could have just one more wish, I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?

If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?

You sheltered me from harm

Kept me warm, kept me warm

You gave my life to me

Set me free, set me free

The finest years I ever knew,

Were all the years I had with you

And I would give anything I own

I"d give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give everything I own,

Just to have you back again

You taught me how to love

What it's of, what it's of

You never said too much,

But still you showed the way

And I knew from watching you

Nobody else could ever know,

The part of me that can't let go

And I would give anything I own,

I'd give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give everything I own,

Just to have you back again

Is there someone you know,

Your loving them so,

But taking them all for granted?

You may lose them one day

Someone takes them away,

And they don't hear the words you long to say

I would give anything I own,

I'd give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give everything I own,

Just to have you back again

Just to touch you once again

Black celebration

Black celebration

Tonight

To celebrate the fact

That we've seen the back

Of another black day

I look to you

And your strong belief

Me, I want relief

Tonight

Consolation

I want so much

Want to feel your touch

Tonight

Take me in your arms

Forgetting all you couldn't do today

Black celebration

Black celebration

Tonight

Look out my window and what do I see

A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me

All the nightmares came today

And it looks as though they're here to stay

A voice that rang like a symphony

Held in beautiful asymmetry

To choose, to breathe, to sigh

Ignore the shadow that defies the light

Take me to the light

A vice that you will betray

A tattoo that won't go away

Etched in bone with heart's consent

Held in the mire with cold contempt

The light, reach into the light

The tears of lust, the silent cries

The heat that licks my skin, it takes me high

Release the sin, the whole within

Take me to the light, through the light

Sacred truth that you hold

Bring the chapter to a close

The tears of lust, tales to tell

To your soul, not mine to sell

It's the light, I can feel the light

The tears of lust, the silent cries

The heat that licks my skin, it takes me high

Release the sin, the whole within

Take me to the light, through the light

Take me to the light

Take me to the light, to the light

The tears of lust, the silent cries

The heat that licks my skin, it takes me high

Release the sin, the whole within

Take me to the light, through the light

How can I try to explain,

when I do he turns away again.

It's always been the same, same old story.

From the moment I could talk

I was ordered to listen.

Now there's a way

and I know that I have to go away.

I know I have to go.

It's not time to make a change,

Just sit down, take it slowly.

You're still young, that's your fault,

There's so much you have to go through.

Find a girl, settle down,

If you want you can marry.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

Away away away, I know I have to

Make this decision alone

All the times that I cried,

keeping all the things I knew inside,

It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.

If they were right, I'd agree,

but it's them you know not me.

Now there's a way

and I know that I have to go away.

I know I have to go.

Stay stay stay, why must you go and

Make this decision alone?

Restò

Solo qualcosa che volò

Nell'aria calma e poi svanì

Per dove non sapremo mai

***

There was

Just something that flew

In the calm air and then vanished

To where we’ll never know

(Francesco Guccini- L'Uomo)

More than a month has passed. Ben Solo’s death is still a wound that cannot heal.

I’m trying to come to terms with what I’ve seen in The Rise of Skywalker, but it’s as if I no longer recognize the characters I loved so much. Leia, Rey, Luke, Finn, our beloved Ben.

I wish I had the strength to let Star Wars go once and for all, but it’s always been part of my life and it would be like mutilating myself.

Ma due occhi che ti guardano

Così vicini e veri

Ti fan scordare le parole

Confondono i pensieri

Ma sì, è la vita che finisce

Ma lui non ci pensò poi tanto...

A timeless and forgotten place,

The moon and sun in endless chase

Each in quiet surrender

while the other reigns the sky

The midnight hour begins to laugh

A summer evening's epitaph

The winds are getting crazy

As the storm begins to rise

As the storm begins to rise

Wild were the winds that came

In the thunder and the rain

Nothing ever could contain

The rising of the storm

In the wings of ebony

Darkened waves fill the trees

Wild winds of warning

Echo through the air

They came flying from far away

now I’m under their spell

I love hearing the stories that they tell

they’ve seen places beyond my land

and they’ve found new horizons

they speak strangely but I understand

And I dream I’m an eagle

and I dream I can spread my wings

flying high, high, I’m a bird in the sky

I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze

high, high, what a feeling to fly

over mountains and forests and seas

and to go anywhere that I please

Ma la mia memoria scivola

Mi ricordo limpida la trasmissione dei pensieri

E la sensazione che in un attimo

Qualunque cosa pensassimo in due, poteva succedere...

****

But my memory slips

I remember slightly sending thoughts

And the feeling that, in a moment

Whatever we thought in two, it could happen...

And the thing that gets to me

Is you’ll never really see

And the thing that freaks me out

Is I’ll always be in doubt

It is a lovely thing that we have

It is a lovely thing that we

It is a lovely thing, the animal

The animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me

We will change reality

So take my hands and we will pray

They won’t take you away

They will never make me cry, no

They will never make me die

You consider me the young apprentice

Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes

Hypnotized by you if I should linger

Staring at the ring around your finger

I have only come here seeking knowledge

Things they would not teach me of in college

I can see the destiny you sold

turned into a shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger

I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name

I know what you're up to just the same

I will listen hard to your tuition

You will see it come to its fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger

I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me

Vanish in the air you'll never find me

I will turn your face to alabaster

When you'll find your servant is your master

You'll be wrapped around my finger

You'll be wrapped around my finger

You'll be wrapped around my finger

Severance,

The birds of leaving call to us,

Yet here we stand

Endowed with the fear of flight.

Overland

The winds of change consume the land,

While we remain

In the shadow of summers now past.

When all the leaves

Have fallen and turned to dust,

Will we remain

Entrenched within our ways.

Indifference,

The plague that moves throughout this land

Omen signs

In the shapes of things to come.

Tomorrow's child is the only child.
