Dreamer 06:51
One day you'll see me away from this dreamless life and I’ll be what I want to no matter how hard it will be   I ain't got no time to fill with this weak and pale light all the days of my life the "work and pray" routine, the "eat and watch TV” I'm sick this time No "good or damnation", no blind moralism I’m done… this time...   All days gone by all my thoughts inside corroded by the time (I remember) It seems like yesterday when father threw away everything I was (I remember)   Now I'm feeling home while there is nowhere I belong at the end of the day I'm sad but I'm writing again:   Here is a page of a new day that nobody really cares tomorrow's the same looking for a change and night after night I dream   But now I miss that time so hated so regretted when the sun was shining over me I didn't care about the world I didn't care about the future what is changed in me?   No, I can't resist I want to break the chains No, my future is faded as in the past I write again: Here is a page of a new day that nobody really cares tomorrow's the same looking for a change and night after night I dream Many years have passed everything's the same time goes by anyway maybe I can't change I don't give a damn I'm still the young dreamer Here is a page of a new day that nobody really cares tomorrow's the same looking for a change and night after night I dream

I can take you away over the horizons climbing down for eternal falls alone together so bitter sweet losing contact with just one breath A false awakening disconnected sleep never ends tonight we'll fly once more Hunting echoes of remembrance I see my hands again Feeling invincible Far away from everything And learning control the clock is ticking! I'm back to my virtual reality where time crumbles slowly Deceive all senses with my own obsessions and defying my subconscious pride Not so dim and distant is just commonly forced I feel it's a lie Across the seasons where logic and reason are passed by for eternity you'll be mine I see my hands again Feeling invincible Far away from everything And learning control I make this my own world Truth is switched again I'll bend my memories just to be there I'll bring you back, no matter how I hold my fate 'cause my world is built from the inside I see my hands again Feeling invincible Far away from everything And learning control I make this my own world As I can see her again I'll bend my memories just to be there

The shy tree 08:48
It was a bright Sunday morning when I first saw her She was beautiful in her blue gown, brushing her sister's hair The breakfast was turning cold when she showed up, always drawing everyone's attention with her moves To be honest, I've never loved what I do I always felt like I was the bad guy stealing bliss from oblivious lives I watch her chatting in a bar While she takes tea with all her friends I catch her in my photographs As she walks down crowded streets “But when the lights go down I stand and watch in moonless nights Longing for your smile” And tryin' to keep you safe from everything And dyin' for being your cape in rainy days Hearing all the candid words you say But never reachin' you, anyway The day I crossed her way in the park when our eyes finally met I could tell we shared the same familiar feelings I heard a sudden stop and saw her hands tightened in fear Then she turned around but there was just trees surrounding her And tryin' to keep you safe from everything And dyin' for being your cape in rainy springs But now i‘m swearing words to gods that I won't pray 'cause i'm never reachin' you, anyway I try to keep you safe from everything I dream for being the one who put the ring BUT NOW I'M trying to scream to take my pain away stuck within a cage I can't escape I was lost in thoughts when shadows took you away So i'll never reach you anyway Surroundeded by people dressed in black I painfully smile To think I've never been so close, now that I'm six feet over And as the days go on and on, I have no tears to shed 'Cause deep down in my heart I know for sure the way to reach you

Then came the light just another day to live without a far horizon, no future to reach out waking up everyday and feeling empty inside nothing to fulfill myself   what I had was a rusty dream box never filled what I need is to get lost somewhere on a mountain top or in a stormy sea in a jungle and no one but me   walking in the woods, something I never knew sweat on my skin, enjoying everything I lay down and rest listening to the sound of the earth   So, here I am… In the end I'm still alive I had no choice but to be born again As an eclipse passing by the light will return and everything will be forgotten   On a passageway No memories of strain sitting on a cliff losing gravity I lay down and rest listening to the sound of the earth   We’re only grains of sand in the hourglass of life We try to leave a trace in a world that doesn't need it We are a leaf beaten by the howling wind But with heads held high, here we stand   But when the night’s approaching the flames are arising I feel them around me, they’re closer and closer I’ve nowhere to hide from their voracious jaws Just keep running and running ‘til I will come one with the wild   Many years of loneliness watching nature growing I've found a way to live Flow like water on the rocks gently drawing always a different line feel the universe in a flower that blooms and we are always looking for something more   We’re only grains of sand in the hourglass of life We try to speak the truth in this empire of lies We are a leaf beaten by the howling wind But after all, here I stand

Discoveries 09:51
- The wicked picture The stage's ready I set the scene and no repent Just a single drop and it'll be done Eyes are weeping in an smoky atmosphere "And with a little flask I'll fulfill my task… …Everything's set!” A never-ending hunger and talent to master nature's miracles but days seem like eternity when gold is no more challenge and dispassion blackens the sight And then it appears, a spark in the night the wicked picture Chilled by the fear and adrenalized of defying divine rules High words and vows can never confine the untaught desire of the mind Crawling around in trepidation Is curiosity driving me mad or maybe guiding me to answers no one's brave enough to face Lust for forbidden theories Crossing the line to feel alive When dust makes room to light there it stands, the final experiment Heart beating deep and eyes open wide that are staring at me High words and vows can never confine the untaught desire of the mind In a blink of an eye two souls are melt into one and It smiles at me as I'm falling down - The dreadful experiment (instrumental) - A shapeless journey Floating weightless I can't hear a sound shivers of night carry me on And my soul fades into light I'm getting out of the mystery all the puzzles combine into one simple answer never seen before I can feel it, as I fade away - Discoveries As the whole becomes one I can see clearly the truth of all things, so close and yet so far In the other life, unsullied paradise of questions and keys I'm alive again Sinking down, spiraling up to the stars Secrets are turning into dust Setting the mind and never afraid of discoveries to be made

Whispers 06:20
I walk beside you and whisper in your ears even when there's none you are not alone watch the sun rise the horizons now are closer try to leave behind the burden in your head Just let me turn the pages let me blow away your doubts another soul reading the life of strangers yet another lazy noon in pajamas a sudden gale blows carrying dust and voices echoes of past lives and stories never told you better let me in just let the window open wide I sing some memories for you I'm here to slip into your mind “Never fear the changes for those are what you need to feel alive. Tear down the walls of mediocrity what goes around comes around.” the way to find the peace is full of sacrifices the road for redemption the washing of our souls when tryin' to fight against a life buried in darkness or givin' in to search for the light we will be mesmerized like moths around the fires into the long run to the peace of mind

- The Middle of Nowhere It's a damn long way to go in the middle of nowhere many crossroads passing by And I turn the radio on to remind me I was wrong "And I choose her, come what may" I feel lost within this sight And I cannot see the edge between dusk and dawn All my senses seem to fade and the heart is beating strong like a hammer to the anvil of despair trying to run away from this crystal cage say, can you spot the end? It's growing smaller now and getting harder to breath I feel I'm falling off again And I hear angels singing: “Is this your way to paradise?” A fly tangled on the web Our hopes and fantasies Are thrown in pieces on the floor in this never-ending rise and fall - Unconscious Trek (Instrumental) - The Faceless Army When I'm back in I found myself surrounded by a strange mob they don't have a face, it's being replaced by a never-ending smile they turn to me and slowly start to move into a freaky march Hey you! We cannot find you in our registers Tell us: what did you eat? where did you sleep? And.. Oh, are you still virgin? Come on, son! Hand us some of your privacy We have big plans for you boy, you know? You'll be just as everybody else! Help! I'm feeling suffocated by this madness Legions of hollow men in suit-and-tie Please, don't ask me why I know, I've got to escape this trap oh Lord, help me coming back But suddenly all of them are bursting into flames Twisting with pain, screaming in agony Ashes are dancing in a frozen reality yet with their blaming fingers still pointing at me And I’ll never know why the weak and fools now stand in high places They are sanctified The ones who crucified - Interstellar mayhem And in a flash, all is swallowed by darkness Broken lands light by a pale white sky We laugh in joy as planets start to collide - Clear as a bell Bell tolls from a distant square Sailors waving their goodbyes We try to see The meaning of it all But dices still will roll Still I hear angels singing: “Is this your way to paradise?” A fly tangled on the web Our hopes and fantasies Are thrown in pieces on the floor in this never-ending rise and fall Out of the darkness I’ve found my way to paradise Oh boys, I have news for you! Our hopes and fantasies We hang to them to carry on In this never-ending rise and fall

Diary 09:11
Lonely nights for endless years Searching for the perfect melody No matter how hard I try In the end nothing will remain Following my holy grail I can feel it's driving me insane Digging deeper in my soul Will uncover shades of me that I desire? We run alone to arrive And live quiet to survive But there's no real destination Tryin’ to draw a line Between what's wrong or right Looking for a way to take Here I stand Awake and wondering If I'll put down in words my sorrow It's my cure The tunes I keep inside That flutter in my head are only mine Unopened song To hold on the life in a sweet melody By candlelight Closed in my world nothing ever crosses over the wall I'm with my Diary again I close my eyes and regain myself even when all seems lost let the time heal my wounds let the scars grow on my skin Still haven't find all the answers as I hoped when I was young back again in the old days when I left the boy behind Unopened song to hold on the life in a sweet melody by candlelight closed in my world nothing ever crosses over the wall I'm with my Diary again

ABOUT DIARY:
Debut studio album by the tuscan band Lifestream, active since 2006. All songs are written, performed, produced and recorded by Lifestream, published by Lizard Records.

This album transports the listener inside the lives of different characters like a wind flipping through the pages of a book. The tracks present musical recalls suggesting a common thread, despite being apparently disconnected from one another.

The sound is that of typical progressive rock (synthesizers, odd time signatures, long sectioned suites) with AOR and hard rock influences, for a total of 8 tracks (included the emotional 15 minutes suite of “Over the rippling waters”) and more than one hour of music.

A videoclip for the song “Sound of the Earth” has been released, featuring nature-themed timelapses by the photographer Mattia Bicchi.

The record closes with an excerpt from “E mi viene da pensare” originally recorded by the Italian prog band Banco del Mutuo Soccorso. This song has been chosen both for its introspective nature and for tribute to Francesco di Giacomo and Rodolfo Maltese that passed away during the recording sessions.
