Step #21 - La cosa nella Musica

Brano 1

Artista: Thursday
Canzone: Porcelain

Testo:
City of blue tile.
Figure in ceramics.
Where we reach out.
Grab for porcelain.
But it's too fragile to hold.
And it shatters in our hands.
In time the seasons will seal these shards.
Into the slits that denote your wrists.
Death is the answer.
To calculations composed of motions that are the same.
And secret and different
A missing alphabet with a message for us.
When people die.
(die,die!)
They take a piece of us with them.
(people die and die!)
And holes in clouds are minutes passing.
(die and die!)
Rescind this line and several ties.
(people die and die everyday!)
The skyline unfolds into explanation.
That sometimes words give up.
And silently walk off the edge of the page.
And here the cry opens up reveals the word inside.
The crack in the porcelain.
The silent line of sky-lit eyes show.
Death up there shine more brightly than lives down here.
Try and live.

Brano 2

Artista: 36 Crazyfists
Canzone: Ceramic

Testo:
Soon I will be falling down
The way I always
And I remember falling
And I remember crawling...
Still I'm falling...
Have you come down
From all the peeling?
'Cause I remember holy
And only God can save me
Still I'm falling...
This is the last time I'll speak of holding you
Take this from me and take it before it dies
'Cause this is the last time I'll speak of...holding you
Still I'm falling...
This is the last time I'll speak of holding you
And you get up and you fall down
You get up and you fall down
You get up and you fall away
You get up and you fall down
You get up and you fall down
You get up and you...you get up and you...fall

Brano 3

Artista: Billy Idol

Canzone: Plastic Jesus

  Testo:

  I don't care if it
  Rains or freezes
  As long as I've got my 
  Plastic Jesus
  Ridin' on the dashboard
  Of my car
  Through my trials
  And tribulations
  And my travels
  Through the nation
  With my plastic Jesus
  I'll go far
  Ridin' down the thoroughfare
  With a nose up in the air
  A wreck may be ahead
  But he don't mind
  Trouble comin'
  He don't see
  He just keeps his eye on me
  And any other thing that lies behind
  With my plastic Jesus
  Goodbye and I'll go far
  I said with my plastic Jesus
  Sitting on the dashboard of my car
  When I'm in a traffic jam
  He don't care if I say damn
  I can let all my curses roll
 ' Cause Jesus' plastic doesn't hear
  'Cause he has a plastic ear
  The man who invented plastic
  Saved my soul
  An if I weave around at night
  Policemen think I'm very tight
  They never find my bottle
  Though they ask

  Cause plastic Jesus shelters me
  Save me
  I don't care if it's dark or scary
  Long as I got magnetic Mary
  Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
  I feel that I'm protected amply
  I've got the love of the whole damn family
  Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
  With my plastic Jesus
  I said goodbye
  And I'll go far
  And I said with my plastic Jesus
  I said sittin' on the dashboard of my car
  When I'm goin' fornicatin'
  I've got my ceramic Satan
  Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
  Women know I'm on the level
  Thanks to the wide-eyed stoneware devil
   Sneerin' from the dashboard of my car
