Hey there 05:31
Hey there! is it empty here? I'm needing help Hey there! anyone here? nor anywhere? Hey there! where have you gone? I'm all alone... someone bets your face behind the shades as you let our lives go by, do you? and I guess your laughing eyes on us letting men eat men down in the dirt and I guess your laughing eyes on us Hey there! can't you see the world is falling down
2.
The gutters 04:39
Rotten down into the bone hypocrite and cheating men all your words they have no sense spitted straight into our face from your shiny studio lights fake the world and blind the eye standing here you cannot see how it is the upper world can you guess just how it is to stare at the gutters from above? fucked up with all the lies and all the promises they make dog eat dog that’s all we get no one aching for respect standing here you cannot see how it is the upper world they will try to push your head as we’re fighting down below
3.
untimely untie me untimely untie me untimely untie me untimely I am complicit in my own undoing. like a pressed kiss in the eros of lament like juicy dicta dappled with frayed verité like buttery straps of raspy dalliance sip the vestments of purring whim and bathe me in pressed torment come cumulous and come kneeling in the pressed crests caresses of curled succulence, kissed consequence licking the slippery lilt of silty risk Come noumenal, come blind, blanketed sucking polyphony through orchids’eros fascicles folios the flesh of messy vectors lay your language in bended saddle and meet me in the vestibules of tented telling in le cirque of matted nuance. through swerved syllables swooped bias ribboned in raging privation come messy, mellifluous in the unfair footing, in the intransigence of wet pursuit.
4.
Grey 05:01
When times are bitter grey's the colour of the skies unhealthy pale skins tall dark shadows walk the night unfriendly glances sad eyes staring at the ground the condemnation seems to be eternal a fear of speaking in the mouths of those who talk as the ears of all the enemies unfold you'd better look over your shoulders, man! somehow the feeling still remains and you must learn to cope with it someway these clutches bite your skin the scars they leave won't go away Someday your hope is to be free deep down your heart knows it's not real when every colour has been drained only grey will light your days
5.
Don't you ever feel a prisoner locked inside a well of souls? sorely disappointed in the way the things go on deceive yourself you do the choice overlooking ties and knots developing solutions at least to fill the void you sense desire for a better life dreaming of a world that don't exist you should find new ways of living not afraid for what you'll leave behind and cease to follow men's rules that's harder than you know, and you won't… developing solutions not afraid for what you'll leave developing solutions that's harder than you know
6.
The silhouettes around are here for my embrace they have a different plan and means to use my hands their gold that makes them shine is shown for us to dream it’s easy to get fooled if you’ve got holes inside of you call it like whatever you want that won't change a thing if you were born on the wrong side of life everything is calculated nothing comes for free anything’s considered fully by nature nothing comes by chance everything is calculated nothing comes by chance everything is calculated nothing comes for free anything’s considered fully by nature (nothing comes by chance)
7.
I want to escape from this land that i don’t recognize as my home anymore the colours of things become monsters that fight and shout in my head that swallow thoughts to bridge the abyss the sound of things becomes a river in full I want to escape from this land that i don’t recognize as my home anymore I would like to change skin over and over again…
8.
Please 05:34
See the blinking of the city lights as you dwell in darkness here face the demons that surround your life beat ‘em back from where they came keep an eye upon the life of those mess around in big machines hopeless slaves with different gods to pray in a state with no escapes we all fear the taste of liberty weeping in our comfort zone full of lies and joyless choices done just to please somebody else and pretend it’s not your fault
9.
Rat Race 07:24
we lead this rat race with no end and without prize worthless efforts in the hope of a better life should we know how and prepare our souls to part? while we’re running someone else will get the gain rats inside a sinking cage we’re heading nowhere else but here can’t you see the signs? we lead this rat race rats inside a sinking cage
10.
Lost in time 07:56
You can tell from how they move and talk they are not a different kind and the same red blood flows in their veins ‘cause they are not a different kind as in the end we will all turn to dust we are not a different kind just remember... so should we all share the same destiny? ‘cause everyone’s a different kind not the same thoughts not the same minds everyone’s a different kind and who is better and who is worse than us? everyone’s a different kind please remember...

about

[Eng. below] - Prodotto con la direzione artistica di Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan Bator, Faust) e registrato al Lesder Studio di Tommaso Mantelli, Escapes (2020) è il secondo album di Mattatoio5.

Testi e atmosfere si ispirano alle Carceri d’Invenzione – serie di 16 incisioni realizzate da Giovanni Battista Piranesi tra il 1745 e il 1750 – in cui le prospettive impossibili ricordano, come in un incubo, la dimensione astratta della nostra esistenza attraverso “la negazione del tempo, lo sfalsamento dello spazio, la levitazione suggerita, l’ebbrezza dell’impossibile raggiunto o superato”.

Escapes vede le collaborazioni di Romina Salvadori – già vocalist nella band EstAsia, della poetessa americana Adeena Karasick e Bernardino Carbone alla batteria acustica.

Produced by Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan Bator, Faust) and recorded at Tommaso Mantelli's Lesder Studio, Escapes (2020) is the second album by Mattatoio5.

Texts and atmospheres are inspired by the Prisons of Invention - a series of 16 engravings made by Giovanni Battista Piranesi between 1745 and 1750 - in which impossible perspectives recall, as in a nightmare, the abstract dimension of our existence through "the negation of time, the offset of space, the suggested levitation, the thrill of the impossible reached or overcome ”.

Escapes sees the collaborations of Romina Salvadori - former vocalist in the band EstAsia, of the American poet Adeena Karasick and Bernardino Carbone on acoustic drums.
