Brief presentation

A visionary and dreamlike song built on surreal images, impossible colors and shifting sensations.
Purple Grass moves through a suspended inner landscape where dream, hallucination and desire blend into one another, until the song closes on an intimate and mysterious presence.

Lyrics

In a world where the grass is purple
and the sunset turns green
the dew falls down like red cream
on my body lying on the bed

The sounds flow like a pink river
through an air that cannot speak
and the night bends over the sky
like a dog that came to dream

And I stay lying there
lost in the light
watching the shining sun
that refuses the night

And I remain lost
without asking why
in this impossible world
that looks so much like mine

Beer is the honey of flying pigs
smoke is a web of drunken spiders
dancing close, holding each other
while my skin turns to golden feathers

In your hand you hold my flower
you open it petal by petal
without a sound
and from the sap upon the bed
a thousand colors rise and laugh
as they climb toward the sun

And I stay lying there
lost in the light
watching the shining sun
that refuses the night

And I remain lost
without asking why
in this impossible world
that looks so much like mine

Maybe it is the dream
maybe it is the smoke
maybe it is only my burning mind
opening like the shell
of a coconut washed ashore

I see the sky breathing
I see time walking
and I no longer know
if I am falling
or coming home

In the world where the grass is purple
even pain becomes joy
fear disappears
and turns into a blue cloud

Madness takes me by the hand
and leads me through the light
I walk barefoot over brightness
following a river rising to the sky

And the sun,
sitting in front of my eyes,
looks at me
and smiles in silence

Now I am sitting here
lost in the light
watching that shining sun
that refuses the night

And I remain lost
but I don’t ask why
in this impossible world
that lives inside my mind

In the world where the grass is purple
I no longer know who I am.

But maybe,
for one single moment,
that sun I see…

is you.

Notes

Purple Grass is a song suspended between dream and hallucination, where the outer landscape becomes the reflection of an inner state. Impossible colors, distorted images and shifting sensations turn the lyrics into a mental journey rather than a linear story. The song moves through wonder, disorientation and desire, until it ends on a final intimate revelation.
