Clean Couch 03:54
CLEAN COUCH. If I will pay attention, and then I'll really engage myself, I'll be able to walk up and you won't say “Go down” I will move slowly, without giving any bother, maybe he will have drunk and he will keep me with a smile, maybe you'll be already sleeping, and you won't notice anything, it doesn't matter, I will be close to you. Maybe one day I will return and we will stay together. Don't you waste your time strolling in the wood, you won't find me there, under a stone or an old trunk. I still wait for you, with no fears and no cold, on the couch in the house, a silent little ghost, and it's funny, don't you think?, you are the ones who disappeared, the ones who got lost, while I... Maybe one day I will return and we will stay together.

Forgotten 03:05
FORGOTTEN. There was a man who laughed, one Sunday afternoon. One day we will be a man who laughs on the threshold of a door, a woman sitting in the corner of a bar, the lights from the window of a house. And so you'll know, and so you'll see, there was no one in the house behind the bend. One day, far away, another city, another morning, we will be a glance, a glimpse, a rapid deed, the steps in the corner of a passerby's eye... someday. And now you know, and now you see, there is no one on the right side of the bed.

Last Lesson 03:40
LAST LESSON. Very sad to realize two and two is five, and even worse to get it on a rainy monday morning. Bad old coffee and useless shoes, no one else at home, a couple of memories, a boring ghost and nothing out there. I'm so sorry you grabbed something, something that I only glimpsed some old silent sunny days when there was no one else at home. If only you had made four more steps you'd have seen the showcase and now you would drink cold orange juice on a sunny beach somewhere in the world or maybe six more steps and now you would drink a free beer in my corner. I'm so sorry you grabbed something, something that I only glimpsed some old silent sunny days when there was no one else at home. Anyway I always take the other road because there's still something strange that embraced you and only barely touches me sometimes.

Shelters 02:58
SHELTERS. There's still a place, under that road, when things are as they should be. There's still a place, a dark room, when everything is still and nameless. Between the useless books, or spiders on the windowsill, I will hide and smile. There's still a face, on that bed, who's already won the best defiance. There's still a face, on the screen, who looks at me and doesn't make me sleep. Between your soft bedclothes, or pictures on the shelf, I will wait for you.

Waitings 03:39
WAITINGS. Do you remember that evening when you came to visit me? I was waiting at the third floor. We were walking back and forth and then suddenly you told me “Now it's late, I have to go” My sweet love, take me away from here, my sweet love. I went back quickly to my room and waited for the lights to be turned off and took a look through the window. On the other side of the court, in a room at the first floor, there was a man on a bed. My sweet love, take me away from here, my sweet love. “I came in this place on a sunny day; so young and strong, I had so many days in front of me.”

Picture 04:10
PICTURE. And there's a window of a house not away from here, and I can see the light inside and when I see the shape moving behind the curtain I stand still. And I smile again. And maybe someone will brush the dust away from the bus station, on a sunny morning. "I've been smiling and I've been happy here", I will think, disappearing alone in the air.

MAURIZIO (LITTLE STAR). It was a Spring Tuesday morning, he woke up and got dressed and went out. The streets were the same, the sky was the same, he thought “It's nothing, it will pass.” Why did he wake up in the dead of night? Has he ever told you about the dream he had? Never ever ask him why he always stares at the wall, repeating “That was real and this is not.” The supper was ready, the friends were happy, he thought “It's nothing, it will pass”, but he knew it was a lie, so he drank and said “The meat is good.” Why did he wake up in the dead of night? Has he ever told you about the dream he had? Never ever ask him why he always stares at the wall, repeating “That was real and this is not.”

LITTLE CHOICES. The boy with curly and black hair took a drink or maybe two with the bottle in his backpack, and boldly approached the girl with spikes and said "Would you like to go out tonight?" She blushed and thought it was a joke then she said "Why not?" So that night they danced and he kissed her, on Friday showed his manor and on Tuesday she did it for the first time and it was so wonderful. She squeezed him in her legs and said "I will never leave you, my love." Now they walk along the boulevards, they are rich, happy and beautiful, life has no surprises and no fears, they will grow old and sons will celebrate for their legacy. Just one day, any one, sitting on the left bank, she has asked him "Do you remember the drunk at the party years ago? It's been a sudden thought, a strange thought, I never knew the name."
9.
Jokes 04:53
JOKES. His face was hanging on the wall, appeared behind the bassist, but the poster has been thrown in the trash can, the one behind the bar. Now there are others, and then there will be others, to make the three clients dance. Wonderful touring, excellent takings and first-class nightclubs. On a night like any other, or on a day in many years, when she will ask her the question, she will smile and answer and tell a lie. The same as always. Wonderful touring, excellent takings and first-class nightclubs.

Gliding 04:11
GLIDING. At half past nine p.m. he takes the bus to return home. And he should have known he had not to lay his head on the glass for more than one second or two. And he should have known he had not to say “I am” to all the people all around him everyday. And he should have known he had not to say “I do” to all the people all around him everyday. But sometimes he smiles again, when he sits and the bus and the night and the rain give him a name, and he forgets the silent deceit.

about

Why the title of the record is “THIS DO∄SN'T ∄XIST”?
That's simple: because in the lyrics of "THIS DO∄SN'T ∄XIST" (in mathematical language, the ∄ symbol means "It does not exist") we read of what no longer exists, never existed and will never exist: no more achievable choices (Little Choices) and no longer reachable places (Shelters and Picture), imaginary lives built on a lie (Jokes) and lives that have lost something very important (Maurizio), people or animals gone to a better place (Last Lesson, Clean Couch) and certainties that are nothing but obvious illusions (Forgotten).
Lyrics telling little and (perhaps) trivial occurrences of ordinary lives, surrounded by a music that - despite being gaunt and disturbing, melancholy and nocturnal - never forgets the electrical energy of rock and the pop shimmering melody, avoiding to fall into depressed/intellectual songwriting or senseless high volume, thanks to a minimal and never pompous production that aims to enhance the heart of the songs without overloading them with unnecessary sound effects.
