TESTO
I can never work out, what not to say
And I won’t get it right, not today
You say you don’t even know who I am
An empty plate on the table and a knife in your hand
It’s getting close to half past seven on our own, black, nine eleven
And it’s always nine eleven
We turn it off, then turn it on, turn it off again
You take the papers, leave as you planned
The door it echoes as now you take your stand
You turn and look before you head down the stairs
Your key in the lock now shines like one of her hairs
That's our shadow passing over, giving shelter but no cover
Like I fool myself, you love me more than ever
We turn it off, then turn it on, turn it off again
There’s that music again, like a nail on the floor
So I think I’m walking free, it will trip me up before…
So now I lie awake and as the notes all decay
There's a sudden modulation and the world now fades to grey
There’s that music again, like a nail on the floor
So I think I’m walking free, it will trip me up before I can run away.
I can’t run away.
We turn it off, then turn it on, turn it off again

DESCRIZIONE
Una versione per piano e voce di "Pesach" dell'EP "A New Oblivion": un testo sul dolore dei cambiamenti in corso . Un testo intimo che merita una lettura a parte: "Prendi i documenti, esci come avevi programmato, la porta echeggia mentre prendi posizione. Ti giri e guardi prima di scendere le scale, la chiave nella serratura ora brilla come uno dei suoi capelli. È la nostra ombra che passa, offrendo riparo ma non copertura. Come mi illudo, che tu mi ami più che mai."
