lyrics

all of the principles have been already determined and transcribed long ago,
behaviours were explicitly defined, leaving absolutely no doubt
it’s us, the architects, the writers, the poets
we want to lay down new world on the canvas
we think, we fight, we try not to break
we change the meanings of thoughts,
of sentence, of deeds,
we fight for happiness, we fight for better places
we think about tomorrow, fighting the past
this world surrounds and absorbs our freedom
we have to change it, we have to fight for it
we fall asleep with the first rays of the sun

...

every day we use words to communicate. sometimes we are not aware that not all words are neutral. they can be evaluated by different people. they can concur to marginalization. we cannot forget about it and use them with greater awareness
