Lyrics:

"I remember momma reading me a bedtime tale, as thousand unaccountable stimulants were passing over me"


"I remember when I was feeling unconcerned in the playgrounds of my vicinity, and that everything was just a great play with me as protagonist. I remember all the myths and the epic battles, as I' m sitting in the bench where sometime I was eating my carefree ice cream, but now I' m smoking as I recollect a time where everything was purely beautiful, and the words coming from my parents' mouth weren’t any disturbing. Then... When the world would end in a burst of delight and fireworks, and everyone would heave into Paradise, not with the misery… the decline… all lost in an obscured, neverending void"


Circling around the neighborhood
Reliving almost forgotten memories
Thinking of what he wanted to be
Considering if he is happy now


"I remember when there was God. I remember when there was freedom! And all those things now seem so strangely, as if you recalled a fable that someone recounted you when you were a child, a childish story that now makes no sense, though you really wish it was true.

He acts like he’s in a movie
He wonders if everyone’s the same
If all the nursery rhymes
Are guiding everyone’s life now


“Why this alluring sense of decline?
Why can’t I detect life’s simplicity?
Should I embrace it just the way it is?
Or should I wish I had never been born?”



He’s flooded with mixed feelings
Sad for everything he’s not
Happy for everything he dreamed
And the walk through memory lane has finally come to an end
