Apparition (2019)

Broken Pieces

A shape is taking form
Wanting me for more
Got no answer while
I’m remembering

A shadow I used to know
Allusive overtone
Silently screaming failure

Broken pieces on the ground
Around
Broken pieces on the ground
She found

She talks about the past
A mercy, an angel’s dust
Tears up my skin
Still mortal

She turns the eyes on me
I lose reality
A goddess to adore
Revealing

Broken pieces on the ground
Around
Broken pieces on the ground
Broken pieces on the ground

Placing memories unsound,
Confound
Broken pieces on the ground
Around
Broken pieces on the ground
Broken pieces on the ground
Broken pieces on the ground
around
Broken pieces on the ground
She found

Apparition

Tu veux jouer avec moi?
Tu veux jouer avec moi?
Est-ce que tu veux jouer avec moi?

by Cecilia Dassonneville

Prisoner

An usual night
the usual me
get bored about
the thought of life
white pages full
of empty lines
don’t know the language
don’t know the words that I’m saying

do I agree
do I believe
I’m a prisoner behind no bars,
inside my mind
but do I agree
do I believe
I’m a prisoner behind no bars,
behind white lies

swallow my lips
embrace the tale
asymmetry
an obscure quest
curiosity to satisfy
don’t know the game that I’m in
don’t know the game that I’m playing

do I agree
do I believe
I’m a prisoner behind no bars,
inside my mind
but do I agree
do I believe
I’m a prisoner behind no bars,
behind white lies

but do I agree
do I believe
I’m a prisoner behind no bars,
behind white lies

unusual night
the usual me
unusual night

Altered

Turn the mirror
find regression
to be overtime
oversized

draw a squared line
search the corners
to be understood
underneath, beneath

I’m not here

alter my mind
meeting circuits
to forget
be forget
altered body
skin expansion with no
action

my head goes up up up up
the air is breathing me

not here
I’m not here

broke the mirror
a sensation
of being
underlined
of being
undesigned

erase the lines
of my muscles
not being
idealised
not being compromised

an impression of something
my memory lost
an impression of something
a memory ghost

to be
overtime
to be
oversized

not being
idealised
not being compromised

not here
I’m not here
not here
I’m not here

by Arianna Todero

Floating

Can’t find my place
around I’m watching faces
a glimpse of me
my features going blurry
floating in
daydream state I’m floating in
comfort chaos
floating in
floating

critical self
the act of being wasted
it’s me I find
collapsing over water
floating in
daydream state I’m floating in
comfort chaos
floating in
I am floating in

up, up, wake up, lose track, wake up
eat sleep repeat, don’t go back
up, up wake up, lose track, instead
eat sleep repeat, and I’m just me
I am floating in

can’t find my place
around I’m watching me
floating
floating in

daydream state I’m floating in
I’m floating in
comfort chaos

up, up wake up, lose track, wake up
eat sleep repeat, don’t go back
up, up wake up, lose track, instead
eat sleep repeat, and I’m just me

daydream state I’m floating in
comfort chaos

by Arianna Todero

Dark Embrace Me

Last escape
A window through myself
No regrets
A glass without reflects

I’m not the one
Not the one they want
I need to run

Dark embrace me
You’re my only friend
Dark embrace me
In your shapes I’m safe

After midnight
a comfort energy
Shows me mercy
A call for Destiny

I am lost
an evanescent ghost
I need to run

Dark embrace me
You’re my only friend
Dark embrace me
In your shapes I’m safe

Dark embrace me
Embrace me
Dark embrace me
Embrace me

Rectangle

In a minute
For a minute too late
Got no power
Got no face
A sorrow remains

In a minute
was a minute too long
got no defense
got no trace
a sorrow remains
In a minute too long
for a minute
In a minute

Ashes won’t set
a clear design
I lost my days
Too many times
Too many times

Nothing will stay,
nothing is dense
And here I dry
My empty hands
My empty hands washed by the crying

A black hole I dig to hide my pride
To keep me apart
Apart from lies
Apart from my lies

Nothing will stay driven by sand
And here I dry
My empty hands
My empty hands washed by the crying

In a minute
Was a minute too long
Got no defense
Got no trace
A sorrow remains
A minute too long

by Arianna Todero

Salt on Scars

I’m standing still
trusted by the mist
I’m not scared
actions stays

Wondering why
people passing by
I’m not the same
alienation fades

She’s moving fast
despite of the age
she won’t give up
affection stays

She turns the back on life
as the days go by
chances not to take
illusion fades

I’m far from the rain
the salt on scars
won’t be washed away
I’m far from the rain
the salt on scars
won’t go away

away, away
it won’t go away

let it out
wait no time
fight the monsters winning the game

I stand still
trusting mist
I’m one and I’m all
I’m one being one

I’m far from the rain
so far from the rain
it won’t go away
I’m far from the rain
the salt on scars,
won’t go away

away, away
it won’t go away

by Arianna Todero

The Age Of Nothing

Hush hush now
Hush hush now

Call the night
leave the fight

Call the night
leave the fight

Hush hush now and rest
Hush hush now and rest quiet
Hush

The Awakening of a Mutant Girl (2020)

Into the Beyond

Lonely
As nighttime falls
I’m darkness
Voices
Are you my friend
Someone like me?

Into the beyond
I feel a gravity
A place where I belong
Invisible force that pulls me away

Message
Inviting me
To reach the stars
Questions
‘Bout who I am
Insomnia

Into the beyond
I feel a gravity
A place where I belong
Invisible force that pulls me away

Be someone else
My world is ready to change

Into the bеyond
I feel a gravity
A place where I bеlong
Invisible force that pulls me away

Into the beyond
Something’s calling me
Invisible force that pulls me away

lyrics by Arianna Todero

Mutation

Colors
Shadows
Bending

Lines and
Corners
Fighting

A point
Of mutation
A point
Of mutation

On my flesh I feel scars of someone else
On my flesh I make scars of someone else
On my flesh I feel scars of someone else
Of someone else

And if I meet a friend
Who knows well
Will he be close or far from here
And if I meet a friend
Who knows well
Will he be too far away
From here

On my flesh I feel scars of someone else
On my flesh I makе scars of someone elsе
On my flesh I feel scars of someone
Else
Of someone else
Of someone else

lyrics by Arianna Todero

A Prey

In a cage
A prey
My blood
To sacrify
In name
Of love

Won’t play
Their game
I won’t be
An animal
That wants
Just to survive

Streets around me
Are obscure and strange
But I will find
A way

Tears are blinding my own eyes but I can see
Lies are blurring my own mind but I know
Be brave and strong
I’ll be my sense of right and wrong
But it’s no easy

Don’t fear darkness
It’s my home now
The force and the power
I need to believe me

In a cage
A prey
My blood
To sacrify
In name
Of love
Won’t play
Their game

lyrics by Arianna Todero

The Underworld

There’s no turning back time
No retreat or defeat
I find home in your arms
You’re the underworld
And in this time of exile
I’m searching for a simile
Is it me, am I reviving?
A life down
Here

I am welcomed by you
Different but just the same
Outcasts rule this reign
I’m the underworld
And in this time of exile
I’m searching for a simile
Is it me, am I reviving?
A life down
Here

lyrics by Arianna Todero

Melody Out of Time

No one can see you
For what you are to me
To me

I will protect you
You can be the one that you want to be
You want to be
With me alone ‘cause

I’m living in your eyes
Sharing the eternal secret
With a melody out of time
I sing a song of love
I’m living in your eyes
Sharing the eternal secret
With a melody out of time
I sing a song of love

But they don’t know you
They see the monster they want to see
They want to see

I will defend you
You can be thе one that you are to me
You arе to me
With me alone
With me alone

I’m living in your eyes
Sharing the eternal secret
With a melody out of time
I sing a song of love

I’m living in your eyes
Sharing the eternal secret
With a melody out of time
I sing a song of love

I’m living in your eyes
I sing a song of love
You might also like
I’m living in your eyes
I sing a song of love
I’m living in your eyes
I sing a song of love
I’m living in your eyes

Les Étoiles

Sous le ciel constellé
Je crois entendre une mélopée
La douce mélopée des étoiles

Les étoiles

Elles se murmurent leur histoire
Aux confins de l’univers
Les étoiles

Et je chante avec elles
Je chante leur douce mélopée
La douce mélopée des étoiles

Les étoiles
Les étoiles
Les étoiles

lyrics by Cecilia Dassonneville

Aliens

A light made of space dust
Covers my skin
My body reacting flying, on air

Alien take me up
Aliens fill me in
Alien take me to the stars
Aliens fill me in

This symbiosis’ burning
It makes me high
A force from the outer landing down here

Alien take me up
Aliens fill me in
Alien take me to the stars
Aliens fill me in

Alien take me up
Aliens fill me in
Alien take me to the stars
Aliens fill me in

Coming, I feel it now, coming
You might also like
Alien take me up
Aliens fill me in
Alien take me to the stars
Aliens fill me in
Alien take me up
Aliens fill me in
Alien take me to the stars
Aliens fill me in
Alien
To the stars

lyrics by Arianna Todero

Farewell

Please let me embrace you again
This is my last breath on earth
Here’s my farewell
An’ I will remember

Please let me echo your name
I’ll take your soul by the gods
Here’s my good-bye
An’ I will be missing you

Missing you
Farewell

lyrics by Arianna Todero

Last Steps

Chasing my fate
around it’s fire
they wait for me
my new day

I’m running
and I am running faster
I’m expanding my life
last steps to my homeland

breaking the chains
tight to the past
holding the signs of destiny
losing the tracks
I’m running to the end of time

breaking the chains
tight to the past
holding the signs of destiny
I’m expanding and I cry of hope

I see future
my immortality

Chasing my fate
around it’s dying
they wait for me
my new day

I’m running
and I’m running faster
I’m expanding my life
last steps to my homeland

breaking the chains
tight to the past
holding the signs of destiny
I’m expanding and I cry of hope

what comes in a moment
could stay forever
in a little spark
I am myself again
away away it’s my fate

breaking the chains
tight to the past
holding the signs of destiny
losing the tracks
I’m running so fast

breaking the chains
tight to the past
holding the signs of destiny
I’m expanding and I cry of hope

my fate takes me away

lyrics by Arianna Todero

Le Ravissement

A force of frequency
took me over
lose the horizons of
my mind

waves of atoms bend
laws of light
Le Ravissement
Le Ravissement

rays of density
pull me inside
paradox designs
a flight

a seduction game
elevate
Le Ravissement
Le Ravissement

I lay in ecstasy
in ecstasy I lay

floating to the stars
I’m touching my limits
floating to the stars
I looking for meanings

Le Ravissement
Le Ravissement

Le Ravissement
I lay in ecstasy
in ecstasy I lay

lyrics by Arianna Todero

Taking the space

This sense is feeding my inside
I’m in a circle
energy slavery

being a whole with the speed
I’m in a vortex
craving addiction

Taking the space
pushing, moving, crossing
taking the space

weightless and fearless, I’m strong
my only mate
a sister starlight

a road of the unknown to take
suffering no doubts
loving the addiction

taking the space
it’s a sensation
a deep emotion
I feel the action
I am

taking the space
pushing, moving, crossing

taking the space
pushing, moving, crossing

taking the space
pushing, moving, crossing

taking the space
pushing, moving, crossing
taking the space

lyrics by Arianna Todero

A Hundred Years

A friend is lost
from the days
beauty once was mine

homesickness
now I feel
stranger and distant

A hundred years

through my eyes
I remember
and for the last time
you in my eyes
you
my lost friend

I’d better go
take my way
beauty denied

loneliness
now I am
stranger and distant

a hundred years

lyrics by Arianna Todero


Mother Solitude and Other Dark Tales (2021)

Mother Solitude

The darkest night
Won’t hide the danger
Her eyes so fierce
Will turn you into a slave
To lust

The goddess
The Queen of the Night
Mother Solitude

Don’t come near
Seductive fear
A psycho atmosphere
Behind the rage
Obey to twilight
Eternal

The goddess
The Queen of the Night
Mother solitude

The pain inside
She lays in suffering
An act of freedom, a request
A call for agony that brings no rest

Don’t come near
Seductive fear
A psycho atmosphere
Behind the rage
Mother solitude

Fear the goddess
Don’t come near
Seductive fear
A psycho atmosphere
Behind the rage
Mother solitude

lyrics by Cecilia and Arianna

Salomé (Suffer Me)

I won’t have
Any regrets
I will kiss your mouth
‘Cause you were made
For my darkest nights
For my darkest nights

Suffer me
To kiss you mouth
Suffer me to hold you tight

Suffer me
To kiss you mouth
Suffer me to hold you tight

I’m the lost bird
Carrying messages
Of death
And lust

Je veux la tête de Iokanaan
Donne-moi la tête de Iokanaan
(I want the head of Iokanaan
Give me the head of Iokanaan
)

Suffer me
To kiss you mouth
Suffer me to hold you tight

Suffer me
To kiss you mouth
Suffer me to hold you tight

Suffer me
To kiss you mouth
Suffer me to hold you tight

To kiss your mouth

lyrics by Cecilia Dassonneville

Au bout de ses forces

Seule dans la nuit
Une salle obscure
Pour être qui elle est

Elle danse jusqu’à ne plus le pouvoir
Au bout de ses forces
Jusqu’à la mort

Au bout de ses forces

Seule dans la nuit

Elle danse jusqu’à ne plus le pouvoir
Au bout de ses forces
Jusqu’à la mort

Pour être qui elle est
Au bout de ses forces

Pour être qui elle est

lyrics by Cecilia Dassonneville

Swamp King

I couldn’t breath , I couldn’t feel
In a world of nothings
A danger zone where I can’t give
A true sense to my skin

There’s no coming back
From these deep waters
There’s no coming back
The age consumed my solitude
Damnation of my solitude
I made my own rules on wetlands

I’m the swamp king

Now I just gave my youth away
Years and years are passing
A rescue by the abyss reign
And I’m here still waiting

There’s no coming back
I’m at the mercy of waters
There’s no coming back
The age consumed my solitude
Mutation of my solitude
I made my own rules on wetlands
Swamp king

I’m the swamp king

Mutation of my solitude
Of my solitude
Damnation of my solitude
It’s the solitude
of a king
Swamp king

lyrics by Arianna Todero

La Dame en Rouge

Venue d’ailleurs
D’un autre temps
Depuis des siècles
Vagabondant

Cachée dans l’ombre
Fuyant le jour
Elle se présente
La Dame en Rouge

S’immisçant dans la nuit
Elle s’approche sans bruit
Fascinante et trop douce
Sonne la voix de la Dame en Rouge

Venue d’ailleurs
D’un autre jour
Elle se rapproche
La Dame en Rouge

Le frisson d’épouvante
Vous parcourt et vous hante
Exister pour toujours :
Le secret de la Dame en Rouge
Le secret de la Dame en Rouge

Venue d’ailleurs
D’un autre temps
Depuis des siècles
Vagabondant

lyrics by Cecilia Dassonneville

Overwater

Overwater
Overwater

Stay still
Command the waves
Pull every rope
Until blood
Starts to dry off
But don’t give up
No other way
To pass the storm
Break the winds on your tired face
Just a moment
One last moment

Overwater
Overwater

Fighting
No win or lose
If you see wonder
The cold will get vanished
Just don’t give up
No other way
The salt in your eyes
Won’t hurt you much longer

Just a moment
One last moment
Wait for nereids
Tempting

Just a moment
One last moment
Overwater
Overwater
Overwater
Overwater

lyrics by Arianna Todero

The Siren and the Ghost

Deep from the abyss
She is crossing the transparent lights
Water creature, in the place of the night’s perpetual wandering

Leave your prison, and break the spell
Leave the darkness, and break your chains

“My heart is a clear lake now
The last of sorrow sank into it
Where all pain disappears from”

Up to the surface
She is sighting the shape of a ghost
A young lady, haunting her resting place, perpetual suffering

Leave your prison, and break the spell
Leave the darkness, and break your chains

Leave your prison
Leave the darkness

Come to me and trust me
Waves embrace you
Leave behind your fears my dear
Welcome to the deepest sea

Leave your prison, and break the spell
Leave your prison, and break the spell
Leave the darkness, and break your chains
Leave your prison
Leave the darkness

lyrics by Cecilia Dassonneville

Medea’s Revenge

Beyond magic flames
A sorceress
Her heart is broken
She can’t forgive

She seeks some revenge
To ease the pain
She used her magic
A poisoned gift

Insanely in love
Murderous madness

Insanely in love
And willing to kill
Murderous madness
To get revenge
To get revenge

lyrics by Cecilia Dassonneville

Blue Ophélia

Under the moonlight
A pale girl is singing by the river
Heart beating hard
Dying flowers all around her
She lost her mind

Blue Ophélia
Blue Ophélia
Fading

Sur l’onde calme et noire où dorment les étoiles
La blanche Ophélia flotte
Comme un grand lys

(On the calm and black water where the stars are sleeping
White Ophélia floats / Like a great lily)

Embraced by the dark waters
Closing her eyes, cause it’s all over
She sings one last song
Floating flowers, all around her
She leaves her mind

Blue Ophélia
Pâle Ophélia
Blue Ophelia
Fading

Belle comme la neige (beautiful as snow)

Under the shining stars
Until the end of time
Whispering regrets
In her sweet madness
Immortal soul

Blue Ophélia
Drowning
Blue Ophélia
Drowning

La blanche Ophélia flotte
Comme un grand lys

lyrics by Cecilia Dassonneville

Before Night Falls

A wild horse
I’m riding
A forest
I’m choosing

And if I’m
Going nowhere
There’s somewhere
I must go
I must go
I must go
I must go

Before night falls
Meanings are searching
Before night falls
Meanings expanding

But from my
whitest hands
Days running out
From the dusk
On my hands
I’m running
Away

Oh I’m not afraid of dying
Oh I’m Not afraid of caring
Oh I’m Not afraid of falling
Oh I’m not afraid of myself
Oh I’m not afraid of dying
Oh I’m not afraid of myself

lyrics by Arianna Todero
