Backfire | The Illusion of Life

S'up guys, we're Backfire: a prog metal band from the lovely (ish) city of Lucca, Italy. Here's one of our songs from the concept album we're currently about to wrap up the writing for. This song features: Alberto Barsi (guitar) Luca Riccomini (bass guitar) Naomi Gemignani (vocals) Alessandro Giusfredi (drums) Leonardo Lucchesi (keyboards) Recorded and Mixed at Nautilus Rec Studio (Carrara) Lyrics: We're born unaware of what will expect us We can't predict our future It all seems so uncertain And we feel lost in another dimension Human being is the most foolish species 'cause it sleeps in the cradle of a god and destroys the visible Nature Without realising that Nature is already dead All can disappear in a second Just close your eyes and you'll realise The Illusion of Life My illusion is your life Your illusion is to be eternal Poets wrote thousands of words Trying to explain the 'sickness of the century' But pain is close, deep in each one of us And that's what leads us to hide us from ourselves Money shapes my life and Power makes me blind, All can disappear in a second Just close your eyes and you'll realise The Illusion of Life My illusion is your life Your illusion is to be eternal Our illusion is to be almighty But we're only a dot in the middle of a white sheet Come on, I'm Here Closer to you No pain to gain Just me get through The fear of tears Suffocating me And you can't complain This is what we deserve, The rain again beating Me through my skin You're not supposed To win this fight I Can't fight life will be always a constant climb through pain Will you reach the top? I can hear you I can see you
