1.
You turn in silence away Your heart to the night Every little wound that comes from afar Into the light In my mind's eye All’s filled with ice I just walk alone through the crossroad To say goodbye In the wink of an eye All has been decided In the floating of the night We're only passers-by Being left alone together Bid farewell to the night To the night Tonight is goodbye
2.
I’m waiting down here Being muffled by the veil of time I strained my open wide eyes Among the tombstones Hearing the train pass quietly by On a winter night We’ve all been through space and time The lost love flies into the light Who is gonna hear you cry Don’t drag me down to the end of the line When stars smear the sky We are going for a ride Just wanna feel alive Rattle the lock of the night Chasing the dawning light Our lips are closed tight We don’t look alive Let the only smile die Put...put your heart aside Don’t avert my eyes Let’s depart and slip into the night From time to time Our deadlock is tight Here I roam through the deepest dark inside Into the night Forever far and wide No one to guide
3.
Who looks so lost and walks all alone On sacred ground Who is gonna be the one to calm me down When I come around All sparks will burn out when I am gone Smoky sky with a doubt in my eye The dead know our lies Hiding deep from shadow to shadow Our lips burn in the light Tired of breaking up from the break-down I want both love and flame But I do not think that is okay Do you always feel this way Oh You left me stranded and crazy Oh bright lights illuminated Oh everything I wanted Is right here but soon it won’t be Stranglehold on my heart Now you want a new start Run away with my heart Then you tore it apart Do do do Do do do I am turning around To touch the ground All I feel Like nothing is real All I know is that I’m trying to be alone
4.
Every time I see you Every time I call you my baby Sometimes you got me running and hiding It’s driving me crazy But I know, something out there is true And I am in love with you Come on tell me baby what’s been wrong with you yeah * Baby Baby Baby I don’t even know you Baby Baby Baby What you want me to do Somehow my heart beats for you Baby Baby Baby I don’t even know you Baby Baby Baby What you want me to do I just wanna be with you Only you Sha lala You are that kind of girl, that kind of girl I’d like to hold You are that kind of girl, that kind of girl that knocks me cold Cause you know, the whole wide world is gone now And I’m so in love with you Come on tell me baby what it is all about * Repeat Late night we stroll around all alone in this town I don’t want this moment to ever end Ever end Ever end * Repeat
5.
Into a city bestrewn with fears The sun fades in the night Blood still has to flow over years No blemish on the sky I am the one who loves to get Sweets into your life But with the rush of sudden pain As tears go by Our desire Seals off our eyes On whichever night Lalala... Desolate myriad city lights Lalala... So much fury we sigh in the nights My only soul abandoned to its woes It’s love in vain Despite all the dismal signs So many hearts were slain Walk through the slush where sunbeams burn There is nothing more to say Now all memories are gone away I'm reeling here in pain
6.
The pouring rain keeps falling The night is so long It's got a way of knowing Before it all went wrong I am so desperate and lonely You were the only one for me But now it doesn’t seem so Your love is like a commotion If this is what you want I can’t keep holding on Woo Baby Don’t fall in love with me Woo Woo Baby You hurt me so badly Woo I feel the ticking of your heart It’s beating slowly I don’t really wanna go so far To set you free I am so desperate and lonely You were the only one for me But now it doesn’t seem so Your love is like a commotion If this is what you want I can’t keep holding on Woo Baby Don’t fall in love with me Woo Woo Baby You hurt me so badly Woo Tell me what you see Tell me what you see Tell me that there’s nothing left for you and me You take the fun out of me Woo Baby Don’t fall in love with me Woo Woo Baby You hurt me so badly Woo
7.
Strolling along A fading pain got me going up and down Dancing to the raving sound Try to get my feet back on the ground Left to weep alone The white lights will go on and on When you are gone Ice gleams underground Stirring up the blood of Babylon To get the sorrow to grow My heart can seem old and worn The things I’ve loved alone The fallen angels will envelop us by dawn I better go through days and nights that will not ever end It’s time again to tell everyone who will never understand If only we could feel the flame of the world Til we meet again In the end I know that time won’t assuage the pain I feel like being born again But nothing of my heart still remains It’s all in vain It ends up in the quietude of innocence Do do do do Can’t go back to the way we used to be

A few drops of rain inside eternity Forever in my empty mind I take a walk on the endless path of reality Feeling like I’m running out of time Oh Nothing is spinning in my head Nothingness pricks my chest All my life going by Delusion seems to be all around Nothing is new A way you always make me feel The burning skies are still in your eyes When the dark arrives It waits for you every night Oh Nothing is spinning in my head Nothingness pricks my chest All my life going by I'm putting it all on the line tonight I feel so tired at the game of love That’s Alright
9.
When you feel like you are tumbling down When you feel like you are turned around You wanna sing about these days Bad times are coming down Turn from stuttering into song I walk along with muddy dreams Why don’t you do something to me Promise not to leave me in the dark I don’t wanna depart for love Beyond life with a broken heart As we are falling down Being completely inattentive of the world scared out of our wits In a split second Turn mud to our lips Crawling in the wasteland Like beasts When I fall down on my knees With my face to the endless sea Let it wash away all illusionary memories The surging ridges in my heartbeat And makes me pellucid And descends ceaselessly
10.
Perhaps, I shouldn’t let you bear the thirst of dreams To show you my love and arduous efforts seems so strange Tell me love Tell me love It is all death throes and serenity Tell me love Tell me love In the deepest sea We dare to breathe But we can’t stop our hearts bleed So many other nights like this I can’t fall asleep Her beauty covers my wounds With a little insanity Take this from me Keep away from me Don’t slip into my gentle dream It’s not love

about

'Lightening the Darkness' was recorded during the lockdowns of covid outbreak from 2020 to 2021 at Modern Sky Studio and 73 Studio (a unique analogue studio) in Beijing, China, produced by Italian producers Bruno Barcella and Riccardo Zamboni in Bergamo, Italy and partly edited by Tom Zwanzger at S.T.R.E.S.S Studio in Graz, Austria.

This album marks a musical departure from previous efforts, infusing 80s Synth Pop like THE STYLE COUNCIL, THE CURE, Post Punk like BAUHAUS and 90s Indie Pop as the MUFFS, WEEZER, also expresses a personal dark feeling about the isolation from the world; unexpected hardships and political climate. All these influences manifest themselves in an album full of both calmer songs like 'Melting Into The Sofa' as well as catchy indie-rock-tunes like 'Goodbye Tonight' and wild pop-punk tunes like 'Teenage Superstar' that all add up to a versatile, great record!
