01. The Forbidden City

Music & lyrics by Daniele Liverani
Another day spent on my own,
And I've got nothing to look for -
Everything's here inside these walls,
Inside my small safe world.

Everyone takes good care of me,
I really don't need to be free.
But sometimes I think:
How would it be
If I'll ever need to fly
Away from this forbidden city?
Away from this forbidden city.

I will always live inside my safe world.
I'm fine! I just don't care!
I just don't care...

Trust me - you'll be fine!
I'm here. I'll never let you down.
Call me!
When you'll need to fight, I'm here.
I'll keep my hands on your life.

Hidden inside yourself you keep
The desire to improve your self-esteem.
But if you don't express it,
How can you learn to fly away
From this forbidden city?
From this forbidden city...
Away, from this forbidden city.

If you don't express the desire you hide,
You won't learn to fly away.
You'll always live in your safe world.
You won't learn! You won't learn!

If you show your keen desire,
You'll learn how to fly away.
If you yield to his sick mind,
You won't learn to fly away.

Stop this crawling, take a stand,
Start opposing his command.

02. Taste The Infinity

Music & lyrics by Daniele Liverani
I'd jump beyond the highest clouds,
I'd stop the time flow
And turn off the sun.
I would dry all the water of entire oceans,
I'd give all to find someone like you.

Now that I've found you, I'm so scared,
'Cause if you ask me
I don't know if I could
Jump beyond high clouds,
Turn off the sunlight,
Stop time flow and dry entire oceans.

If only I would be able to
Give all I have, would it be
Enough to preserve this magic feel
That's giving us a chance
To taste the infinity?

Life tells us the stories we believe,
Giving us memories we should retrieve,
Leading everyone's steps where
We can face bad days.
Just listen to what your heart's saying.

If only I would be able to
Give all I have, would it be
Enough to preserve this magic feel,
These magic moments that are still
Giving us a chance to be ourselves,
And taste the infinity?

Take this chance to walk beside me.
I'd jump beyond the highest clouds,
I'd stop the time flow
And turn off the sun.
I would dry all the water of entire oceans,
I'd give all to find someone like you.

03. Number One

Music & lyrics by Daniele Liverani
Remember you've got only a chance, only one life.
Remember you've got only a chance,
To discover the right path.
There is so much danger around,
So many traps,
But if you will learn from my words,
You'll surely become someone.

You must put yourself on top of your priorities:
It doesn't matter if this will cause others to fall!
You must put yourself on top of your dearest friends:
There's only a person that can help you to be a winner.

Only I can teach you how
To be the number one!
Only I know all about
Being the number one!
Only I know the right path
To become number one!
I have got big plans for you:
You'll be the number one...
The number one!

You've got only one life to live,
And time will run fast.
Just a few options to take,
It's up to you for your sake.
It's only a matter of being
The best one around.
It's only a matter of being
In the right place at the right time.

Choose the right friends that
Can help you to open the doors!
That could allow you to join up
The new driving force.
Connect with right people,
Try to gain the upper hand.
Only if you'll be smart,
Then you will get to the top.

Only I can teach you how
To be the number one!
Only I know all about
Being the number one!
Only I know the right path
To become number one!
I have got big plans for you:
You'll be the number one...
The number one!

You should trust my words.
It's your only choice
'Cause nobody loves you like I do!

Only I can teach you how
To be the number one!
Only I know all about
Being the number one!
Only I know the right path
To become number one!
I have got big plans for you:
You'll be the number one.

Only I can teach you how
To be the number one!
Only I know all about
Being the number one!
Only I know the right path
To become number one!
I have got big plans for you.

04. Everything

Music & lyrics by Daniele Liverani
I know what is the best choice for you.
I know what is the point of view.
You've got to understand: I'm the one
Who will take care of all for you.

I'll work to buy your own world of dreams.
You should respect me just for this.
You're not begging for more, I'll give you all!
Here's your bearing wall, it's me.

I'm the one helping you through life,
The only one.
I'll take care of giving you everything,
Just taking care of all your needs.
Giving you everything, leading you life,
Creating your dreams.
Love deep within when you're confined,
'Cause you are mine and I need you.
I know you need me too.

I'll be everything in your life
'Cause you are everything in my life.
I'll give everything you may need
And I'll feed your own greed
With my loving spree.
I'll be everything.

I'll be everything in your life
'Cause you are everything in my life.
I'll give everything you may need
And I'll feed your own greed
With my loving spree.

Please do not say a word,
You don't make sense at all!
Shut up!
I have total control,
You've got no rights at all.
Shut up!
This is the way I am,
You will not change my world!
Shut up!
I'm in charge of your life!
You just have to agree,
I'm everything!

05. One Of Us

Music & lyrics by Daniele Liverani
He's coming from outside our world,
He might be strange, we just don't know.
You shouldn't trust his words,
Just get the best he has to give.
Don't be deceived and never give him your esteem.

You've got to be afraid of him, always.
Don't care for him, just keep running straight ahead.
You've got to keep away from him, always.
Don't let his sway lead you astray,
He comes from a foreign world.

Never give your trust
'Cause he's not one of us.
Never show yourself
'Cause he's not one of us.

We'll always lend a helping hand,
Hiding dismay, defending youth,
You know we hold the truth.
You must arise, capitalize,
Make all your moves, go for the prize,
Realize your dream.

You've got to be afraid of him, always.
Don't care for him, just keep running straight ahead.
You've got to keep away from him, always.
Don't let his sway lead you astray,
He comes from a foreign world.

Never give your trust
'Cause he's not one of us.
Never show yourself
'Cause he's not one of us.

Evil counterpart, not everyone
Can give you love and take you away
From a bad world
Where anyone can feed your soul.

Just keep in mind my words:
He's not one of us.
Just keep in mind my words:
He's not one of us.

Never give your trust
'Cause he's not one of us.
Never give your trust
'Cause he's not one of us.
One of us...
He is not one of us, no he's not.

07. Hide This Feeling

Music & lyrics by Daniele Liverani
Sometimes it's so strange what people think;
It seems they just can't see beyond their needs.
All seems to be so clear into their minds,
Living their perfect plans,
They're stuck in their inner worlds.

How can we hide this feeling?
How can we keep on dreaming?
How can we hide this feeling now?
We just can't.

Sometimes I feel lost, I feel so confused,
But still I can spot that light
Deep in your eyes.
I know the day will come
When you'll leave your small inner world.

We may come from different tracks
And we may have different plans,
But just tell me why can't we
Be brothers and sisters, please?
But just tell me why can't we
Love each other?

How can we hide this feeling?
How can we keep on dreaming?
How can we hide this feeling now?
We just can't.
How can we hide this feeling?
We should be brothers and sisters.
How can we hide this feeling now?
We just can't.
Hold my hand, walk with me, till the end...

08. My Future

Music & lyrics by Daniele Liverani
If I won't meet the desire
That burns here deep inside,
My dreams would fade.
I will never learn to fly away
If I won't find a way
To get out of these dark walls.
My soul would die,
I will never learn to live my life.

It's my future,
Waiting there just in front of me.
It's my future,
Screaming loud just in front of me.

All these rainy days are making me so sad.
If only I could find a place to warm my heart.
Time is passing by, the crucial day gets near
And I'm still here, to fight against my fears.

Time is passing by the point of no return,
If only I could find a light inside my mind.
I know that it's there, hidden deep inside.
I must find a way to let it out
And let it shine in front of me.

It's my future,
Waiting there just in front of me.
It's my future,
Screaming loud just in front of me.

My mind is blowing away
And I can't stand this unbearable pain.
Another day is dying so fast,
Another star is going to fall,
But my dreams still stand.
I need to get away from here.

Here's my future, in front of me...

09. Reaction

Music & lyrics by Daniele Liverani
I've found the way to be myself,
I've found the key to open
All my secret doors.
I'm craving for my dignity,
It's time to fight.
I know there's no way to get back.

I'll take a stand on all you tried to hide,
I'll lay my hands on all that's mine.
I'll get myself so far away from your world,
My statement is hereby declared.

Reaction - here's my reaction,
I've waited for so long to be myself.
Reaction - here's my reaction,
The weak is now so strong,
Got rid of tears.

Another life to live, another place to run,
The sky has never been so near.
I have to take the final step
To unfold my soul,
At last I'll show you who I am.

I'll take a stand on all you tried to deny,
I'll lay my hands on all that's mine.
I'll start to learn from my own life,
Not from you.
Get ready for what is to come.

Reaction - here's my reaction,
I've waited for so long to be myself.
Reaction - here's my reaction,
The weak is now so strong,
Got rid of tears.

I'll take control, playing my new role.
I will take control, yeah!
My time has come, here is my reaction.

Reaction - here's my reaction,
I've waited for so long to be myself.
Reaction - here's my reaction,
The weak is now so strong,
Got rid of tears.

Here is my reaction!

10. I Am Free

Music & lyrics by Daniele Liverani
I don't know what I did wrong,
I don't know what to do.
I feel I'm not in control of his life anymore.
I tried to be a good guide, I tried to help him out,
But this was all in vain though.
I've lost his faith and he has gone.

You'll never understand
That my life is something mine.
You're wrong.
You gave me much I know,
But you've never wanted to
Help me being myself.

I've always watched all your steps,
I've even walked for you.
I've taken all the risks and is this what I deserve?

You're leaving home for nowhere,
You don't know what will be.
It can be very dangerous,
You just don't know what's all about!

You'll never understand
That my life is something mine.
You're wrong.
You gave me much I know,
But you've never wanted to
Help me being myself, but now...

I'm free from all your words,
I'm free from all your restrictions.
Unwrapped chains in my hands,
And I'm feeling better,
Yes I am...
I am free! Yes I am! I am free!

I'm free from your sick rules,
I'm free from your mad reactions.
Unwrapped chains in my hands
And I'm feeling better,
Yes I am...
Yes I am!

Why did I lose so much time for you?
Why did I dedicate my life to you?
Why did I love you so much, I don't know,
I really don't know!

Slip away from my gaze, I don't wanna live
With someone that betrayed my love like you did.
Bring your self-consciousness, find your own role,
Remember it's not been my fault!
It's not been my fault! Go away!

I'm free from this forbidden city,
Finally free from this forbidden city.
It's me grabbing my own life again,
Leaving the old king without his reign.

And there will be no compromise
'cause now I have new wings to fly.
I won't be your slave, no more
Afraid of me, afraid of him, afraid of them.

'Cause finally I am...
Free! I'm free from him, from all!
Look at me, look at me, look at me.
Look at this new man, now I am free!
