lyrics

ten years of silence waiting for something new to say,
i was afraid of new experiences, i built up huge defenses.
everything went on to an end: the old owl told me to look for my friends,
i didn’t understand because i’m deaf, because my eyes are blind
‘cause my eyes are blind.

it is dangerous to lean out when the train is running fast,
it is not easy to grab a cloud, jump on it and hear the sound,
’cause no sound can be heard by a deaf man:
no sound and no melody, no fantasy.

becoming dumb, becoming dumb. becoming dumb, becoming dumb.

gigantic holes in my heart are breathing the solar wind,
a wide space gracefully imploding.
and dumb, becoming dumb, becoming dumb.
