“Not Waiting” is the longest and most articulated track of the album. With this piece we want to realize a rock song that plays for more than 3 minutes and that it is out of the verse-chorus scheme, even if the style is always ours. The 70s sound goes along perfectly with an incredible organ played by Nicola Bagnoli that explodes both in the intro and the outro. The guitar phrasing and the great rhythmic section blend with an aggressive melody. The lyrics remind us the importance of living day by day and carpe diem without being crushed by the daily routine.
“Now it’s time to live my life, with my victories and defeats, not waiting!”
lyrics
It’s a night like many others
To pull on late
I reflect on my thoughts
And what I am
But I’m sure it’s not too late
I (always) look for a new departure
Change is evolution
I didn’t stop
Coherence is the road
Soul is the map
I don’t care to get involved
I look at what will come.
Now it’s time to live my life
With my victories and defeats, not waiting!
I don’t want to be crushed
From the routine of everyday
I will fight to free my soul to be myself
Time for determination
Without dying, not waiting!
The challenge of our days
It’s living time
I don’t intent to live
Which decides for me
I don’t care to get involved
I look at what will come
Now it’s time to live my life
With my victories and defeats, not waiting!
I don’t want to be crushed
From the routine of everyday
I will fight to free my soul to be myself
Time for determination
Without dying, not waiting!
I don’t care to get involved
I look at what will come
Now it’s time to live my life
With my victories and defeats, not waiting!
I don’t want to be crushed
From the routine of everyday
I will fight to free my soul to be myself
Time for determination
Without dying, not waiting!
