Ho dato fuoco a tutti gli arbusti, ho cancellato tutti
i nomi, di questa città non è rimasto che un intreccio di
linee incapaci di raccontarmi, incapaci di racchiudermi.
Ho poi osservato me stesso: perso, riflesso, nell’unico
specchio non ancora infranto.
Il mio volto appare scavato, ha l’espressione delle cose
consuete, quando il cuore ha detto loro addio.
Aspettative che han divorato le guance, mentre
i contorni spariscono dalla vista. Se ora cancellassi
anche questi pensieri che mi tengono al suolo, cosa
potrà opporsi al mio scomparire, il mio volto come
un involucro sottile cederebbe a questo niente.
Brucia, è una festa per i miei occhi.
Divora, la mia forma nelle tue fiamme.

I’ve set fire to all the bushes, I’ve erased all the names,
there’s nothing left of this town except a woven of
lines that are incapable of telling anything about me,
incapable of holding me.
I’ve then looked at myself: lost, reflected, in the last
standing mirror.
My face looks hollow, it has the expression of familiar
things, when the heart said goodbye to them.
Expectations worn down the cheeks, while the outline
fades from the sight. If I wipe away these thoughts,
keeping me on the ground, what could even resist
my disappearance, my face, like a thin shell, would give
into this nothingness.
Burns, it’s a feast for my eyes.
Devours, my shape in your flames.

I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!! Darknight
