I had a very bad dream
The main actor in it was me
My scream had lost its source
Like a reservoir in a summer drought
Images remade themselves
I explored internal galaxies
The boys of summer had upped and gone
Girls in their summer dress had gone
Here’s what I discovered
In my quest for ancient colour
I used to make sense
But now I am confused
I used to control
But now I just feel used
Her?’s what I discovered
In my quest for anci?nt colour
Negative capability
Ran straight through me
My soul a suburban sinkhole
A vast brutal urban sprawl
I had a very bad dream
The main actor in it was me
My scream had lost its source
Like a reservoir in a summer drought
Here’s what I discovered
In my quest for ancient colour
I used to make sense
But now I am confused
I used to control
But now I just feel used
Here’s what I discovered
In my quest for ancient colour
Modern life was killed and crushed
By a derelict digitised love
My scream had lost its source
Like a reservoir in a summer drought

I Manic Street Preachers sono una rock band gallese formatasi a Blackwood nel 1986. Conosciuti per il loro sound post-punk e le liriche spesso politiche e introspettive, hanno raggiunto un grande successo di critica e pubblico nel Regno Unito. La storia del gruppo è però indissolubilmente legata al mistero che avvolge il poeta e membro fondatore Richey Edwards, scomparso nel 1995 dopo aver registrato solo tre album. Il gruppo continua a pubblicare musica e a esibirsi con successo, mantenendo viva la memoria di Edwards attraverso le sue parole incisive. Tra i brani più rappresentativi: 'Motorcycle Emptiness', 'A Design for Life' e 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next'.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
