lyrics
I've been sinking down with the ship I used to lead, deeper than the Marianas Trench,
while something lacked within me:
a scope. After the rain, the calm, a gap in the clouds,
the light of the sun that enshrouds me.
Once, I
dreamed
to be carried away by a man, who found my body, dead, hanged to the
mast.
A violent epilogue, to me the most peaceful end.
Back then,
I saw Polaris fade through the mist
and lost the landmarks to draw the route,
so I sat, lowered motion, for I remembered: "If the bottle does not break, ..."
Oh, sometimes I still wonder if
it's real, all I eye,
and answers, something I can not find.
While the tissues white were waving wistfully to consecrate the sailing, I was not sure whether I would reach the subsequent port, so I made a solemn pledge to myself:
to remember, the night before, the soothing words of a friend, who said:
"... guarda il cielo."
I've cast it with strenght, it
did not break.
The tide rises and I
start to shake.
To someone the worst of latter ends, to me, in retrospect, the most blissful event.
In the eye of the storm is where I am
right now.
But as Polaris fades through the mist,
the compass stings paper and draws the route
so I stand on the ocean, beholding my whole world, facing it again.
The squall led to shipwreck
but I've been Robinson Crusoe.

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great!
