COLORS ON THE RAIN

from A FAINT SMILE by Mac of BIOnighT

/

about

The sounds of my pans on “Colors on the Rain” are dedicated to
Bud Spencer and Terence Hill - thank you for giving this sad world
so much innocent fun.

lyrics

Come l'acqua che cade così, non capirai
Come il tuono lontano da qui, non capirai
Come il tempo che scorre lento nelle città
Come il vento che soffia morto nelle città
Climbing out of silence in the rain
Shattering the silence in the rain
Aural pictures painted on the rain
Sounds like colors fading in the rain
Come un fiume che non scorre più, non capirai
Come foglia che non cade più, non capirai
Come un canto che muore dentro, nella realtà
Come pietra senza tormento, in verità (chorus x2)

---
Translation of the Italian parts:
Like the falling water, you won't understand
Like the distant thunder, you won't understand
Like the time that passes slowly in the cities
Like the dead wind that blows in the cities
Like a river that doesn't flow anymore
Like a leaf that doesn't fall anymore
Like singing that dies inside, inside of reality
Like a stone without torment, in fact

---
Meaning:
Sometimes I look at people and I realize why the world is such a bad shape. People damage themselves and they think they are cool. They destroy their lives and are too dumb and blind to see what they are doing. The more stupid they are, the less they seem to suffer. They perpetuate the mistakes and the self-destruction of all the equally dumb and blind people that came before them. They let others use them and think they are free. When my discomfort grows too big, all I can do is make music, or take photos, or anything that drowns out the evidence of human stupidity, but my sounds and thoughts are like colors on the rain...
