about

In Italy we’ve got a strange celebration called “Carnevale”.
It’s basically our Halloween, and it was inevitable to have a song about people masking themselves for parties on an album called “Febrero”. The song was deeply influenced by a band from Bristol called “Santa Dog”.

We had the honour to share a little Italian tour with them, and we got to know some very special human beings. Guess there’s a little bit of Morrissey’s distress and life bugs here as well, as the tune talks about a very popular celebrity unable to lead a normal life among other people outside his home. He feels sad and alone, so he prays to this girl to change his life, and to hide his persona under a new identity in order to get some fun and meet people in obscure parties.
It’s a song about dreaming of redemption in desperate times, I suppose. Aren’t we all dreamers after all? Last line goes out to a band called Ramones.

lyrics

Well you know how I’m feeling these days
Life became so popoular
and I don’t know how I could escape
everyday I try to keep me sane

If you knew how to get out of jail
turn these bars to paper art
and take me away from here

it’s so clear
every inch of air is made of atmosphere
bring the dance and chase the stars
hold me close and try to

Mask Me Mask Me Mask Me
Make me know you really really care
Mask Me Mask Me Mask Me
Let’s pretend we’re lovers till the end

I got so bored of this grave
death is but a commonplace
guess there’s more tho live out in the lane
where confetti meets soap-bubble’s rain

If you knew how to resuscitate
turn the door in pepple-stones
and take me out of here

have no fear
every bit of joy was made for you to steal
smiles and cheers and jollypops
reach the brightest star and

Mask Me Mask Me Mask Me
Make me know you really really care
Mask Me Mask Me Mask Me
Let’s pretend it’s not over s till the end
