Suspension of disbelief




(It refers to the willingness of a person to accept as true the premises of a work of fiction, even if they are fantastic or impossible)

You speak
I listen
I talk
You respond
Round and round in circles
We dance
Willfully ignorant
Defying reality
Relishing our fantasy
You demand fidelity
I promise it forever
I crave
You fulfill
Late into the night
We while the time away
You at one end of the world
And me at another
Enmeshed by a yearning
A wanting so deep
Spiralling ever deeper
While we sway and dance on
In our
Suspension
Of disbelief


(I did not know what the song meant, but the music makes me feel what I wrote...After writing, I looked up the lyrics and translation and was surprised to see that what I wrote still makes sense to me in terms of meaning. I guess music does transcend all languages!))

VAI VEDRAI

In Italian:

Vai, vai bambino vai vedrai, vai

Vai, vai piccino vai vedrai, vai
Vedrai

Dove mancha la fortuna
Non si ca piu con il cuore
Ma coi piedi sulla luna
Oh mio fancillu(o) vedrai
Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo

Follia

Del uomo senza driturra vai
Follia
Del guerrier senza paura vai
Follia
Del bambino pien' divita
Che giocando al paradiso
Dal soldato fu ucciso
Mio fanciull(o) vedrai
Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo

Follia

Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo

Follia

Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo

Vai, vai bambino vai vedrai, vai

Vai, vai piccino vai vedrai, vai
Vedrai

Dove mancha la fortuna
Non si ca piu con il cuore
Ma coi piedi sulla luna
Oh mio fancillu(o) vedrai
Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo


Here it is in english:

go, go child, go, you'll see, go
go, go little one, go you'll see, go
you'll see

where fortune walks
you can't reach there with the heart any more
only with your feet on the moon
oh my child, you'll see
go and you'll see that
a smile
often hides a great sorrow
go and you'll see
the madness of mankind

madness

of mankind without rightness, go
madness
of warriors without fear, go
madness
of a child full of life
who, playing at paradise
as a soldier was killed
My child you will see
go and you'll see that a smile
often hides a great sorrow
go and you'll see
madness
go and you'll see
the madness of mankind

madness

go and you'll see that a smile
often hides a great sorrow
go and you'll see
the madness of mankind
go, go child, go and you'll see, go
go, go little one, go and you'll see, go


where fortune walks
you can't reach there with the heart any more
only with your feet on the moon
oh my child, you'll see
go and you'll see that
a smile
often hides a great sorrow
go and you'll see
the madness of mankind
