Lyrics

Welcome On Stage

Welcome on stage
and get ready to jump
into a new reality
Take a deep breath
are you ready to dance
‘till you body sore?
Welcome on stage
let us be your guide
don’t be afraid to die
ain’t no death on stage
we’re immortal and strong as a God
Don't know what to think?
Don't know who you are?
Get ready to begin
Your mind is gonna blow up!
So open the door, go!
Shut your mouth, Seat!
Stare at the click, fine!
Show time!
The curtains falling down
The clowns are breaking in
Scaring you, beating you, moking you, loving you Lite is here, nothing no teach
Welcome on stage
Are you ready to sweat
And to lose contrai
Welcome on stage
In the darkness i' Il be your Virgilio
Welcome on stage
We're not pretending
This show has no ending
Welcome on stage
and get ready to jump
into a new reality
Take a deep breath
are you ready to dance
‘till you body sore?
Welcome on stage
let us be your guide
don’t be afraid to die
ain’t no death on stage
we’re immortal and strong as a
God

Digital God

Walking around breathing machines
Understanding... see what they've done
Living a dream's not the goal of my life
Seeking the truth behind the reality
Now the feelings seems so fake
Tryin' to get out I am lost
What can I do now? How can I turn it off
SO THE DIGITAL GOD IS A NEW CREATION
IT'S A TURNING POINT OF A GENERATION
DIGITAL GOD IS IMAGINATION
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'S A REVELATION, DIGITAL GOD!!!
Approaching the God right in front of me
Taking time don't know what to do
I'm the one who's able to think
I'm the one who can still feel something real
What can I do now? How can I turn it off
SO THE DIGITAL GOD IS A NEW CREATION
IT'S A TURNING POINT OF A GENERATION
DIGITAL GOD IS IMAGINATION
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'S A REVELATION
THERE'S NO FUTURE NO EXPECTATION
NO MORE PAIN OR FASCINATION
GOD AS WELL IS INFORMATION
BUNCH OF BITS WITH NO SALVATION. DIGITAL GOD!!!
SO THE DIGITAL GOD IS A NEW CREATION
IT'S A TURNING POINT OF A GENERATION
DIGITAL GOD IS IMAGINATION
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'S A REVELATION
THERE'S NO FUTURE NO EXPECTATION
NO MORE PAIN OR FASCINATION
GOD AS WELL IS INFORMATION
BUNCH OF BITS WITH NO SALVATION. DIGITAL GOD!!!

I Won't Give Up

SO THEY TOLD ME TO BE
SO THEY TOLD ME HOW TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD
SO THEY TOLD ME "BEHAVE"
THEN THEY LET ME DOWN WITHOUT A HELP
I BELIEVED IT WAS ME NOT THEM
I BELIEVED IT'S A MATTER OF FORTUNE
I BELIEVED IT WAS ALL ON ME
THEN I FINALLY RISED FROM FRUSTRATION
HEY NOW LISTEN TO MY WORDS
I WON'T GIVE UP
I WON'T GIVE UP
I WON'T GIVE UP
I WON'T SURRENDER
YOU LET ME DOWN
YOU MADE ME AFRAID
YOU PUSHED ME AWAY
BUT I'LL BREAK FREE RIGHT NOW!!!!!
ONCE THEY GAVE ME ONE CHANCE
ONCE I THOUGHT I WAS FINALLY LUCKY
THEY BELIEVED I WAS NOT ENOUGH
THEY BELIEVED I WOULD EVER BE A FAILURE
HEY NOW LISTEN TO MY WORDS
I WON'T GIVE UP
I WON'T GIVE UP
I WON'T GIVE UP
I WON'T SURRENDER
YOU LET ME DOWN
YOU MADE ME AFRAID
YOU PUSHED ME AWAY
BUT I'LL BREAK FREE AND
I AM HERE
YOU WILL NEVER FORGET ABOUT
I AM HERE
YOU WILL NEVER FORGET ABOUT ME
I WON'T GIVE UP
I WON'T GIVE UP
I WON'T GIVE UP
I WON'T SURRENDER
YOU LET ME DOWN
YOU MADE ME AFRAID
YOU PUSHED ME AWAY
BUT I'LL BREAK FREE AND
I AM HERE
YOU WILL NEVER FORGET ABOUT
I AM HERE
YOU WILL NEVER FORGET ABOUT ME

Free Your Mind

Many years are passing by
Many more are gonna pass and you know
You can change whatever you want
You can even turn your thoughts into a binary
Code
You will have
just
FREE YOUR MIND
DON'T GET DOWN IN THE DIGITAL OCEAN
FREE YOUR MIND
LISTEN TO ME GET OUT YOUR EMOTION NOW
It seems we need to recreate
Something real we already got in our hands
You

Just
FREE YOUR MIND
DON'T GET DOWN IN THE DIGITAL OCEAN
FREE YOUR MIND
LISTEN TO ME GET OUT YOUR EMOTION
FREE YOUR MIND
ALL THAT YOU NEED IS ALREADY HERE
FREE YOUR MIND
DEEP DOWN YOU KNOW YOU MUST HAVE
NO FEAR
JUST ONE TEAR
TO PRETEND
WE ARE FREE TO LIVE DOWN HERE
FREE YOUR MIND
DON'T GET DOWN IN THE DIGITAL OCEAN
FREE YOUR MIND
LISTEN TO ME GET OUT YOUR EMOTION
FREE YOUR MIND
ALL THAT YOU NEED IS ALREADY HERE
FREE YOUR MIND
DEEP DOWN YOU KNOW YOU MUST HAVE NO FEAR

FREE YOUR MIND
NOW THAT YOU HAVE TO TRUST YOUR HEART
FREE YOUR MIND
PLEASE DON'T TEAR YOURSELF APART
NO MORE

Save Me

Rainy days
staring eyes
struggling face
asking whys
tryin to see
tryin to speak
I agree
I'm too weak
Save me
save me now if not too late
Save me
screaming loud for god sake
day by day
life blurs away
chasing light
everything's a fight
here I am
lonely and sad
life is gone
I feel like a dying swan
Save me
save me now if not too late
Save me
screaming loud for god sake
Save me
from the ashes of death
Save me
with no pain or regret
Take me now
through the light
Take me now
I will win this fight
hold me tight
I'm waiting for the night now
Save me
save me now if not too late
Save me
screaming loud for god sake
Save me
from the ashes of death
Save me
with no pain or regret
Save me
now the light is so strong
save me
I feel safe with you so long.... save me

Money For Dreams

LET ME LIVE AND LET ME DIE
YOU DON'T GET IT I JUST WANNA FLY HIGH
DON'T YOU SEE YOU JUST HAVE TO LET ME BE
DON'T YOU DARE TO TURN YOUR BACK ON ME
WHEN YOUR DREAMS ARE FAR AWAY
HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU PAY?
WHAT IS WRONG
WHAT IS RIGHT
ALL YOUR DREAMS FLY AWAY
DO IT WRONG
DO IT RIGHT
THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO SAY
I WON'T BE THE VICTIM HERE
DON'T YOU SEE THE WAY I'M GOING THROUGH THE FEAR
NO YOU KNOW I'D RATHER SACRIFICE MY LIFE
I'VE NEVER BEEN THE ONE WHO GOES TO STRIFE
WHAT IS WRONG
WHAT IS RIGHT
ALL YOUR DREAMS FLY AWAY
DO IT WRONG
DO IT RIGHT
THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO SAY

Sick of War

Bodies around a fire there don't look back
Bullets, granades exploding here watch your head
There's no humanity humanity sick of this war
Aim for the perfect shot you see, one two three
Machine gun loaded take a breath here you go
There's no humanity humanity sick of this war
Now that it's time to stop this war
So tell me what you waiting for
I AM SICK OF WAR
DEEP DOWN INTO MY HEART
I AM SICK OF WAR
IT TEARS THE WORLD APART I'M SICK OF WAR
Run don't look back but just run please don't stop and run
Go far away from this hell now that you got control
There's no humanity humanity sick of this war
Go back to where you belong please just go to tell
Tell tell the story you saw so everybody will know
There's no humanity humanity sick of this war
Now that it's time to stop this war
So tell me what you waiting for
I AM SICK OF WAR
DEEP DOWN INTO MY HEART
I AM SICK OF WAR
'CAUSE IT TEARS THE WORLD APART
TAKE DOWN THIS NIGHTMARE
BLOOD PAIN AND VIOLENCE
PLEASE END THIS MADNESS
I CAN TAKE NOMORE I'M SICK OF WAR
I AM SICK OF WAR
DEEP DOWN INTO MY HEART
I AM SICK OF WAR
'CAUSE IT TEARS THE WORLD APART
TAKE DOWN THIS NIGHTMARE
BLOOD PAIN AND VIOLENCE
PLEASE END THIS MADNESS
I CAN TAKE NOMORE I'M SICK OF WAR

My Inner Prison

Unstandable feelings
Take over my head
My mind is a mess
No meanings for words as
Love, fear, mercy
No empathy for this life I'm ending
l'm in a prison
No light in this cell
I kill for no reason
l'm craving for freedom
l'm living in hell
My head on his head
Blood in my hand
l'm sorry my friend
I'll never forget
Your latest expressions
Faces of desperations
I'll never believe
In my head this was right lt gave me satisfaction
l'm in a prison
No light in this cell
I kill for no reason
l'm craving for freedom
l'm living in hell
l'm in a prison
No light in this cell
I kill for no reason
l'm craving for freedom
l'm living in hell

Filling That Grave

Time to go on my friend
To take control again
Filling that grave with hate
You know your love is dead
Faded away forever
Lying down that rainy night
too many whiskey trails
too many fucking lines
Sometimes you just wanna say
say you love her say it every day
Sometimes you’re feeling the pain
just a tear lost in the rain
Mind’s in the fog my dear
thoughts are not gettin clear
maybe you don’t remember
that night, that car, December
You know I told you once
to give her another chance
you got a beast inside
you unleash it when you’re high
Sometimes you just wanna say
say you love her say it every day
Sometimes you’re feeling the pain
just a tear lost in the rain
you turned the key my friend
hands on the fucking wheels
all gas and going to explode
you got her life down on that road
Sometimes you just wanna say
say you love her say it every day
Sometimes you’re feeling the pain
just a tear lost in the rain
Finally you wanna go
leave that grave and free your soul
Now that you want to forget
empty her grave of your regret

The Solitude

No Comprehension
For the world I'm living in
Self injection of adrenaline
Is what i need to run away from here
Is what i need to set my soul free
Friends and relatives talk to me
They're pretending to teach me how to live
Go to school, go to work, Be a reliable man
Be someone people easily love
Was it all worth it?
To wake up every morning
And break my back
To make my dreams come true
Not to feel this solitude
To live the Iife I've always wanted
l've always wanted for me
Walking around my city
Eyes in the shadow are staring at me
l'm like a stranger, l'm panicking
I feel like wolves are tearing me in pieces
I feel unable to defend myself
Was it all worth it?
To wake up every morning
And break my back
To make my dreams come true
Not to feel this solitude
To live the Iife I've always wanted
l've always wanted for me
Was it all worth it?
To wake up every morning
And break my back
To make my dreams come true
Not to feel this solitude
To live the Iife I've always wanted
l've always wanted for me
For me
For for for me
For for for me
To live the life I’ve always wanted
I’ve always wanted for me.

Take Me Up

I'll bring you up, do you know my love?
shadows are running just take your time
take your time
facing your fears listen to your soul
you're strong enough but you still don't know
don't know
COME TO LIFE AND FLY MY LOVE
NOW SPREAD YOUR WINGS TOGETHER
COME TO LIFE AND SAY GOODBYE
TO PAIN AND FEAR FOREVER
run on the shore it is not too late
daylight coming in so don't give up
don't give up
happiness is closer trust me now
forget the past and live your brand new life
new life
COME TO LIFE AND FLY MY LOVE
NOW SPREAD YOUR WINGS TOGETHER
COME TO LIFE AND SAY GOODBYE
TO PAIN AND FEAR FOREVER
COME TO SHOW YOUR WILL TO CHANGE
GET OVER YOUR FRUSTRATION
COME TO SHOW ME WHERE YOU GO
A BRAND NEW DESTINATION?
souls swimming, water falls
mind blowing take it all
flashing through the darkness
smashing all apart and...
don't give it all away
don't live on yesterday
go now wake up till the morning's coming up and
COME TO LIFE AND FLY MY LOVE
NOW SPREAD YOUR WINGS TOGETHER
COME TO LIFE AND SAY GOODBYE
TO PAIN AND FEAR FOREVER
COME TO SHOW YOUR WILL TO CHANGE
GET OVER YOUR FRUSTRATION
COME TO SHOW ME WHERE YOU GO
A BRAND NEW DESTINATION?
COME TO LIFE AND FLY MY LOVE
COME TO LIFE AND SAY GOOD BYE

Far From Nowhere

An absent mind
among the waves
feeling the sense of lon - li - ness
A bleeding heart
In search of hopefulness
and love again forever
Take your chance
Raise your head
Spread your wings
Use your voice
To scream out
The pain that you feel on and on
Look at my world
Don't you see?
Here you can live
And finally
Set yourself free
Deep inside
And take the time
To disappear right now
Disappear
Far from nowhere
Dystopian world
among machines
feeling the sense of no - thing - ness
I look around
Trying to forget
this awful pain inside my heart
Touch your skin
You will need
To become
Human and
Start to feel
all emotions again and again
Look at my world
Don't you see?
Here you can live
And finally
Set yourself free
Deep inside
And take the time
To disappear right now
Disappear
Far from nowhere
Far from nowhere
Far from nowhere

Five Senses - 10th Anniversary Edition

Dreamin' of you by my side
walking by the river
Thinking of me, shut your eyes
you can feel me closer
Wait a little longer
Wait the sun is still up there
NOW COME CLOSE TO ME
LET'S WALK THROUGH THE DREAM OF LIFE
NOW LIKE YESTERDAY
LET'S FLOAT BENEATH THE WAVES OF LOVE
I touch your skin
I see your face and
I smell your sweatest fragrance
I hear your voice, taste your lips like
in a lucid dream come true
Wait a little longer
Wait the sun is still up there
NOW COME CLOSE TO ME
LET'S WALK THROUGH THE DREAM OF LIFE
NOW LIKE YESTERDAY
LET'S FLOAT BENEATH THE WAVES OF LOVE
Even if you're insecure
Even if the road's unsafe
We will reach our destination
'cause our love is for real
NOW COME CLOSE TO ME
LET'S WALK THROUGH THE DREAM OF LIFE
NOW LIKE YESTERDAY
LET'S FLOAT BENEATH THE WAVES OF LOVE

THE CONCEPT

As we’ve already told on “The Breathing Machines”, Pasolini was right, he had predicted everything since the advent of television:  nowadays conformism reigns above everything  and people are increasingly losing their identity, making technology a new GOD.

We must not fear technology, but rather the way mankind uses it.  Today we can know practically everything through the Internet,  but, despite this, many people still believe in fake news and they always look  for an alternative way of interpretation of the reality.

Meanwhile, wars and corruption are everywhere, but people seem too busy to notice while they talk about the artificial intelligence ready to steal their jobs and lives.

The real enemy of mankind is ignorance and only ignorance generates new GODS like the DIGITAL GOD.

The Digital God feeds itself with sleeping masses and it governs their behaviour like the puppeteer who pulls the puppets strings.

The sleeping masses, who are attached to the cables that power up the Digital God’s world, are at the same time energy and will to be governed. Gods have always been fuelled by ignorance after all… 

Nowadays the masses don’t want to find their own identity anymore and they prefer to be governed by the Digital God and live passively.

By making music, Stage of Reality wants to awake the masses and to make them understanding that there is an alternative to all of this, but we all need to break down the barriers of ignorance, we need to learn, to accept differences and to build an inclusive world where we can speak the universal language of music.
