the city paused - davide tommaso ferrando lyrics

Loading...

cranes asleep above valtellina street
hidden garden wrapped in dust and heat
they said it’s renovation — just a little repair
but the floors keep rising in the stagnant air

bosconavigli’s held in court
a forest in waiting, a fate deferred
torre milano’s eyes are dark
and the fences hum like question marks

the city paused, mid*breath, mid*line
under trial, under time
they called it growth, they called it grace
but the blueprints hide another face

scalo house stands ghostly pale
its windows read the evening mail
garage delle n*z*oni waits
for keys that never reach the gates

pirellino’s skin reflects the grey
permits tangled in delay
the mayor swore it’s all in form
the lawyers wrote it’s “urban norm.”

the city paused, mid*breath, mid*line
under trial, under time
between reform and masquerade
the skyline fades, the skyline fades
not new, not old
the same steel sold
a city built on second tries
a forest sleeping under lies

if you walk these streets tonight
you’ll hear the cranes breathe through the light
the forest grew, then turned to stone
a skyline built, but never home

bosco dreams in mirrored air
its roots entangled everywhere
from isola to the docks of grey
the city learned to look away

and now — in courtrooms, in cafés, in rain —
milan hums the same refrain
we built too high, we ran too fast
we called it future, but it couldn’t last
