'BLACKPOOL' LYRICS

The truth stays in these metal bars 

They go back on themselves and never end 

 

I would die to live that again, 

In the cold wind after a lost hand 

 

Walking fast and crying salty tears 

Just to live the ancient feeling 

 

On the coast of the sea 

An unusual smoke that warms me 

 

Blue horizon that confused the line 

Big heart on a late imitation  

Just to make lovers feel like home 

And the wind just stops the wings 

 

And sometimes water is deep 

He's looking for something precious  

 

And we have it if we are near 

And we left a sign being here 

 

Riding cars of the funniest fear 

But the clouds killed our shadows 

 

We were casting energy 

And there's a no-face ghost in these memories 

 

Blue horizon that confused the line 

Big heart on a late imitation  

Just to make lovers feel like home 

And the wind just stops the wings

BEHIND THE SONG

July 2015. My first trip to Northern England. I’m visiting Manchester for the first time not knowing that I will move there the year after. Once there, I take a 2-day trip to the sea-town Blackpool. All the images, the smells, the sounds and the emotions I felt during those days pour out into music, and words. This is the song I wrote 6 years ago. During these 6 years, I graduated from a music school in Manchester; Brexit and a pandemic happened; I started a Psychology course. For all these reasons, I have to say goodbye to England, for now, and go back to my roots in the city of Rome, in Italy. This song is my first wave of goodbye. Here’s to you, England.
The song makes large use of metaphorical expressions that describe photographs of memories of the trip to Blackpool.

Perhaps someone will recognize the Blackpool tower, the sea and the sky that mingle into the blue horizon, the disappointment of losing a poker game at the Casino, Pleasure Beach with its “metal bars”, the rainy weather, the birds flying against the wind on the beach.
