In a frenzy of nothingness/Esaltazione del nulla

IN A FRENZY OF NOTHINGNESS     ESALTAZIONE DEL NULLA

Bright lights                                             Luci scintillanti
Up there                                                   Lassù
To pull the wool                                       Solo per gettarti
Over your eyes                                         Fumo negli occhi
In a frenzy                                                Nell'esaltazione
Of nothingness                                         Del nulla
Spinning faster                                         Che gira veloce
And faster                                                 Più veloce
As a crazy                                                 Come una giostra
Merry-go-round                                        Impazzita
Going nowhere                                         Che non va da nessuna parte
But eternally                                             Ma che ruota
Spinning around                                       In eterno
Its own rotation axis                                 Attorno al suo asse
Bright lights                                              Luci scintillanti
Big words                                                 Grandi parole
Fake smiles                                               Finti sorrisi
Where nothing is                                       Dove nulla è
As it seems                                                Come sembra
And the golden surface                             E la facciata dorata
Unexpectedly turns                                   Inaspettatamente diventa
Into lead                                                    Vile piombo
If you just scrape off                                 Se solo gratti via
Its patina                                                    La superficie
A little bit                                                  Giusto un po'
