NiHiL - Nihil Lyric by Matteo Anguillesi I just don't want to feel my To feel my mind fall off me I always have blindly searched Without finding anything The most important basical thing Is to possess equilibrium Based on a form of self-discipline Whichever form of self-discipline I have teared up parts of me To be able to let out What they conceal Seeking my path everywhere I pass Maybe I've found autarkeia I did not know what I wanted neither from Myself 'cause in the End there was not Anything to look for Anymore Suave, mari magno turbantibus aequora ventis, E terra magnum alterius spectare laborem; Non quia vexari quemquamst iucunda voluptas, Sed quibus ipse malis careas quia cernere suave est. Suave etiam belli certamina magna tueri Per campos instructa tua sine parte pericli. Sed nil dulcius est, bene quam munita tenere Edita doctrina sapientum templa serena, Despicere unde queas alios passimque videre Errare atque viam palantis quaerere vitae, Certare ingenio, contendere nobilitate, Noctes atque dies niti praestante labore Ad summas emergere opes rerumque potiri. O miseras hominum mentis, o pectora caeca! Qualibus in tenebris vitae quantisque periclis Degitur hoc aevi quodcumquest! (Lucrezio 2,1-61) Listening to stupid words, hoping for them to be punished With a vast sense of sadness, I invoked whoever's up there I asked him for eternal judgement, for us all and him as well But sarcastically he answered, I will have the last say And by finally leaving time, free to take its own course I made my own diagnosis, finding illness and its cure The virus caused by endless search, the cure instead was to let go Everything in its own place, won't try to make them what they're not And at long last my own solution, which for years and years i sought Was so simple, almost obvious, what i wanted to explain I want to remain alone in, the contemplation of nothingness I want to remain alone in, the contemplation of nothingness

NiHiL - Root Of Negative One Lyric by Matteo Anguillesi We, can’t tolerate to be free We’re, an arithmetic means We don’t want to escape, we represent the whole The whole above the single unit, we’ll always thank our benefactor We have obligations, we’re precise at work Considering everything from, the optimal point of view Me and everyone, we form the only us Everything is clear for me, happiness is only in our chains I, don’t believe in god I, can’t have a soul because I’m, a number in the sum I’m, the power of a unit in the whole Say it, the irrational way to What you know about the root, and what you always hide Say it, come out of your shell Touch irrationality, and live in the root of negative one And live in the root, come out of your shell What you always hide, the way We, can control all your moves I, just can’t betray my state I’ve seen beyond the wall, they can’t cheat me anymore I’m going to be illogical, we’ll try to overturn rationality The state says I’m insane, they understood it all I can’t find any escape, and now I must confess They menticide my brain, I told them all of it They control everything, they control every piece of our lives Say it, the irrational way to What you know about the root, and what you always hide Say it, come out of your shell Touch irrationality, and live in the root of negative one And live in the root, come out of your shell What you always hide, the way

NiHiL - Subway to Disintegration Lyric by Matteo Anguillesi I tried to pretend, like it was the matter I tried to erase, the paranoia away But it's still here, breathing down my neck I can't do anything else, but keep on feeling it It digs into the bowels, trying to grind into my head It follows like my shadow, hiding its face in my blindness All the time you stay, behind my shoulders, don't give me the Time to move away, to make a step, out of your visual Sight, you are the viper, you slip inside to make me fall (collapse) You can only hide, your face of shit under this fuckin' ground I tried to turn on light, but my mind stays off I can see it in front, of my distorted eyes Now it's time to move, to eliminate this nit I must find a way, but there's no escape It digs into the bowels, trying to grind into my head It follows like my shadow, hiding its face in my blindness All the time you stay, behind my shoulders, don't give me the Time to move away, to make a step, out of your visual Sight, you are the viper, you slip inside to make me fall (collapse) You should only hide, your face of shit under this fuckin' ground Now, I can't try anything else I can't, get out of this prison I, can thank my paranoia I can't try anything else, I can't try anything else

NiHiL - 27:00 Lyric by Matteo Anguillesi Have you ever tried to find something else Different from what you think to be You consider every way, every possibility Not to lose the chance to appear your best What they think of you, is what you feed on Always seeking out the better compromise. In the end it's always the same story As you know where you will go is everything written yet? You'll pretend to be yourself again and again When you can't admit the truth just in front of you You're the same, you're exactly the same Every face you change is a variable of the edge It's impossible to be something else we, can't modify the core You can consider all the variables that you want, but the variable of the edge You can only feel, you can just feel You can only feel, you can just feel You can only feel Suppose one day that a coin falls down on its edge Any face that you choose is the same in the end Suppose one day that a coin falls down on its edge Any face that you choose is the same in the end You don't understand it's not a fact of coherence Every page you turn in this way your core leaves yourself The logic must be used to understand that The random is the best coherence we can have You're going to build your image in a detailed way Every step you take is direct to your goal Why is it so difficult to accept that you're useless? Whatever you do in the end is the same It's impossible to be something else we, can't modify the core You can consider all the variables that you want, but the variable of the edge You can only feel, you can just feel You can only feel, you can just feel You can only feel Suppose one day that a coin falls down on its edge Any face that you choose is the same in the end Suppose one day that a coin falls down on its edge Any face that you choose is the same in the end

NiHiL - Slow & Untouchable Suicide Lyric by Matteo Anguillesi Run away, from me 'cause I'm just, your ruin You can't tolerate, what I think I can't tolerate, what I think My home became, your turmoil Run away, I'm your ruin I feed all my hatred, without getting anything I was a fuckin' fool, 'cause I didn't know that I used up myself, destroying everything Against my will I become my own hangman There was no way, to fully understand that Any of my thoughts, could have a sense I kept on trying, you can't tolerate These kinds of hopeless thoughts without sense Run away, from me I woke up too late, becoming your lead I didn not build, the foundations so My total control, collapsed over me I feed all my hatred, without getting anything I was a fuckin' fool, 'cause I didn't know that I used up myself, destroying everything Against my will I become my own hangman There was no way, to fully understand that Any of my thoughts, could have a sense I kept on trying, you can't tolerate These kinds of hopeless thoughts without sense
