LIVE AND TRUE

  • (5/5) “WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY THE EFFECTS, THE LIGHTSHOW AND THE VISUAL DRAMA FROM LIVE SHOWS, SOME RISING BANDS STRUGGLE LIVE TO MATCH THEIR RECORDED PRODUCT FROM THE STUDIO. THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE OF VIOLET BLEND. THE VOICE IS SO IMPRESSIVE THROUGH THE LIVE SET. GIADA HAS A GREAT RANGE, BUT THE DYNAMICS AND EMOTIONAL POWER OF HER VOCAL REALLY COMES ALIVE ON THIS ALBUM. I CAN’T THINK OF MANY SINGERS WHOSE VOCAL IS QUITE SO STRONG, ON-POINT AND CONFIDENT ON A LIVE ALBUM.”GREAT MUSIC STORIES
  • “THE AUTHENTICITY AND RAW TALENT OF VIOLET BLEND SHINES THROUGH WONDERFULLY ON ‘LIVE AND TRUE’.”AMPLIFY THE NOISE
  • “VIOLET BLEND MOVE WITH AGILITY FROM PUNK WITHOUT EXCESSIVE PRETENSIONS TO MORE INTENSE AND ELABORATE MOMENTS (“I’M ONLY HAPPY WHEN I’M DRUNK”) IN WHICH A FUSION BETWEEN NARRATIVE AND PERFORMANCE IS ACHIEVED WHICH IS SOMETHING UNIQUE.” – METALLUS.IT
  • “Live And True” is an impressive showcase of the work of the band from Florence. If you like the studio recordings, you should also check out this live recording.”Keep on Rocking

    LYRICS
.

You, me and the Alcohol

We have a threesome relationship
That nobody wants to admit
We live the nights among clubs and bars
We make love at our little loft
The liver pleads us to stop this game
We’ve never paid attention to it
And I don’t want to stop this carousel
We have a score to settle with the hell

It’s you, me and the alcohol
You, me and the alcohol
It’s you, me and the alcohol
You, me and the alcohol

We cover up ourselves in rag and bones
We spend the time playing our pretty songs
And never miss a day, we need no one
One hundred eighty-five days of lust
The liver pleads us to stop this game
We’ve never paid attention to it
And I don’t want to stop this bagatelle
We have a map of habits to resell

It’s you, me and the alcohol
You, me and the alcohol
It’s you, me and the alcohol
You, me and the alcohol

We have a threesome relationship
And many dreams ready to rip
Remember when we met again that night
I found the perfect place to glue my eyes

It’s you, me and the alcohol
You, me and the alcohol
It’s you, me and the alcohol
You, me and the alcohol

Venus Mask

Now that I’ve found you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
Your eyes are a mask
That covers from the lightnings
That you throw on me

Uncontrollable electric shocks
Reveal your mystery
Seductive snob or girl next door
Attracts me breathless

Now that I’ve found you
I can’t let you smother me
You wear a white mask
And I’m completely at your mercy
You flow in me

Uncontrollable electric shocks
Reveal your mystery
Seductive snob or girl next door
Attracts me breathless

No way to resist in a fatal vice
While the air becomes heavy
While the air becomes (unbreathable)
Like a boa with its prey
From your shiny mask that hides your be fatal (and lethal)

Uncontrollable electric shocks
Reveal your mystery
Seductive snob or girl next door
Attracts me breathless

Every Time (We Say Goodbye)

I never thought I could feel stupid that way
Everyone walks always a step ahead of me
Mechanical smiles to things I don’t even care
and maybe you are too, I don’t wanna hold the truth
Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we fight that way
I feel so cheaper
Every time we cry in vain
I lie a little
Every time
No capacity to mend, I don’t even need a hand
I fake so real that I became the lie inside
And you became a wall, the things that overwhelm our souls
are right in front my eyes so I can’t keep denying
Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we fight that way
I feel so cheaper
Every time we cry in vain
I lie a little
Every time
Every time we tell a lie
I die a little
Every time you went away
I cried a little
Everytime we waste a day
I die a little
Every time

Letargo

There’s a stone right inside of my mind
It prevents all the thoughts, it makes me lie
As they drift, they crush, they fight, they laugh
I’m in profound letargo
And this ache, this ache, this ache I feel inside
And I sway, I sway, I sway
I won’t try to abandon this sleep

I feel out of the time
there’s no time in my days
there’s no brother here
My only friend doesn’t speak
Everyday is the same
And I hear you call my name from far away
I don’t respond, I don’t care

There’s a knife stuck inside of my chest
It prevents every feeling, every breath
I used to stray from bar to bar with no more aim
A million lights of tiny laughs reverberate
And I wait I wait I wait
I won’t try to move on from here

I feel out of the time
there’s no time in my days
there’s no brother here
My only friend doesn’t speak
Everyday is the same
And I hear you call my name from far away
I don’t respond, I don’t care

Funeral of Love

Many times you had to call me
I don’t to who I’m speaking
I don’t know the time that I’ve wasted
Try to stand up while I’m falling
Something’s moving out of the window
Until I sleep he will not come here
I’m not scared ‘cause I’m not breathing
I won’t die because I died yet

‘Cause you said ‘I don’t love you’
and I know that I love you
Love is dead like I will do
Go to its funeral

At that there was too many people
with black clothes near the little tomb
a broken heart painted as a symbol
a black cat is singing there in the middle
An old man forgot at home his head
Nightmares, it’s losing to live the sense
I’m crying because love is dead
I’m at its funeral

‘Cause you said I don’t love you
and I know that I love you
Love is dead like I will do
Go to its funeral

Words, words, words don’t wanna hear you
Cold ,cold, cold the blood in me

‘Cause you said ‘I don’t love you’
and I know that I love you
Love is dead like I will do
Go to its funeral

Love, love, love this is the last day
Death, death, death now come to me

Mercury

Not a star
An eclipse of anything obscured by all
What now relieves me
It will bring death to the first

First to burn
It’s my punishment for being too close to you
When they’ll realise the danger
You’ll have killed me

I wish I had that cold
But I’ll have it only
When we’ll be just memories

Like an agony
Desert you have created in me
Turned me around
The lonely star

I wish I had that cold
But I’ll have it only
When we’ll be just memories

I wish I had that cold
But I’ll have it only
When we’ll be just memories

I wish I had it all
(that I will have)
Only when we’ll be just memories

Just memories

Stabs

Let the things fall as they may
as I run my days in circles
No one’s here to raise my soul
Inside my mind is always fall
And I forgave all of my flaws
before you noticed them
There’s something that I miss
and something that is still

Stabs, stabs, stabs
Again in my heart, heart, heart
and I won’t say anything
Until it will drown oh

And I forgot to catch my breath
before the long deluge
Thousands crows caw in my head
I guard my secrets beneath the bed
And I retrieve the ghosts in me
Before I start to bleed
There’s something I can’t reach
and many things to leach

Stabs, stabs, stabs
Again in my heart, heart, heart
and I won’t say anything
Until it will drown oh

Give me a reason to believe
The strength to carry on
A dose of your livid love

Stabs, stabs, stabs
Again in my heart, heart, heart
and I won’t say anything
Until it will drown oh

Free Falling

Nothing can lift a fallen leaf from a branch in time
Once you’re down in th pit you can’t climb up again
and you speak as a friend escaping the mess
and I feel lonely in a desolate land
Suddenly realise you have eyes like ice

Free falling
Free falling
Free falling
Free falling

I can’t believe what I feel

It feels like I’ve come to you in an annouced suicide
With my heart in my hand left to fray
And now that everything is written to die
The cold overcomes the winter’s in me

Free falling
Free falling

I’ve been away for the night
I’ve been away from the ligth
I can’t believe what I feel
I can’t believe that you’re here

Free falling
Free falling

I’ve been away for the night
I’ve been away from the ligth
I can’t believe what I feel
I can’t believe that you’re here

Free falling
Free falling

I can’t believe what I feel
I can’t believe that you’re here

My Daughter

My daughter is a perfect girl
She’s studying hard, she follows the rules
She’s gonna be gratuated soon
She’s gonna work for a fast food

You have to care
what people think (philosophy is not for you)
You have to work
and never drink (musician’s not a job for you)
You have to do
what’s good for you (these jobs are not respectables)

My daughter is a perfect deal
She’s not afraid to have a will
She plans her life with me today
She’s gonna be a perfect wife

You have to care
what people think (philosophy is not for you)
You have to work
and never drink (musician’s not a job for you)
You have to do
what’s good for you (these jobs are not respectables)

Pale

It inhibits the senses
Slows down the life
I can’t hear your words
I don’t understand the meaning

I feel tired but I wanna stay out
I don’t think you can trust in me again
Everything is slowing down
They’re all moving jerkily and speaking strange Again, again, again, again

Pale little eyes watching me cry
Pale little eyes watching me die
Here comes the rain (one day)
They’re watching, stealing and you just go away

The concert is over and everyone goes home
The square is getting empty, I got no hurry
my throat burns and I think I have to sing with it
I’d rather die than be like all of you

I feel tired but I wanna stay out
I don’t think you can trust in me again
Everything is slowing down
They’re all moving jerkily and speaking strange Again, again, again, again

Pale little eyes watching me cry
Pale little eyes watching me die
Here comes the rain (one day)
They’re watching, stealing and you just go away

Poetic License

We comb each other every night
I painted the picture by myself
You rag won’t be stolen by them
You dirt has just been discovered
I don’t know if I should follow the light in the night

Poetic License

Many lies among the hair
Little dreams on the forehead
The reflection is just so different

Pull me down on the carpet
Do what you feel

I surrender
I surrender
I surrender
I surrender
