The Mean 04:05
The Mean music & lyrics by E. Tiberi Days passing over days passing over me And devil endeavours me And those seeds are lost in time And devil mesmerizes me Over these days what've I been tasting? Everything but trust All those tastes are lost in time Ending soon - Coming soon - Changing soon What would you say? This is my last embrace O, can you feel the ending? I'm fed with caresses you don't deserve Look at the mirror Tell me if you see the real you Never a moment Never a moment of being This is my last embrace Oh can you feel the ending? I'm fed with caresses you don't deserve I trip alone, I leave: I dream For much too long the bad I'm The mean has stolen my face Has got away with me Because no education can fill Again this my own black hole I'm the mean I know, I drift This is my last embrace O, can you feel the end? I'm fed with caresses you don't deserve Yeah, act the crying baby Yeah, act the praying prey Yeah, that's just fine now babe Learn how to serve my will I don't wanna pray no more Cos I am not a prey no more No I don't need to pray no more Cos now the mean is me

Amber 05:13
Amber music & lyrics by E. Tiberi 6 in the morning, found no peace I found no rest, I found no answers Close your eyes, get a contour, Pull yourself into sleep Many the fragments in these hours They run around, thru my head Close your eyes, get a contour Pull yourself into sleep I drift alone Clear an urge of uniqueness My reason fights against the innocence I don't wanna lose it at allI drift in space But now it's too late, too late to remember Now it's too late, my eyes want to close Now it's too late, too late to be wondering I'm feeling exhausted, I'd better relax It's too late And then again I'm here and nod I know there's something missing 'round this Place, 'round my head, 'round myself My child companion knows and whispers me “You're much more than this You know much more than this” But now it's too late, too late to remember Now it's too late, my eyes want to close Now it's too late, too late to be wondering I'm feeling exhausted, I'd better relax It's too late I know it ain't too late, too late to resist Today I combat, It's never too late Myself in the amber I'll find and get back My Innocence dear, It's never too late Modeling my being as amber, the greedy They taught me the result, but for them it's too late Now I know I'll sleep again Now I'm sure It ain't late to rest Two and Two is Four again

A Sailor 04:26
A Sailor music & lyrics by E. Tiberi A sailor on the quay I asked him “what are you gazing?” She said she'll be my little girl I knew things come and go that's right She said you are the only one She promised me herself She offered me her love She promised and she lied So now we say goodbye So now we say goodbye and now I say goodbye She said she'll be my little girl I knew things come and go that's right she said you'll be the only one I walk alone and smile again” Now I know On and on again among the waves I sail The winds have taught me not to pray On and on again against the sun I face The wounds have taught me you may fail She said I don't wanna be alone She said I don't wanna say I don't wanna be alone She said I don't wanna say I don't wanna say I don't wanna be alone Another place is set, Another way to go I'm gazing at the tide Cos' it's time to say goodbye The salt up in my nose, The new upon my lips They taste that bitter sweet That makes me wanna smile “New shores oh won't you see?” Replied the man to me Oh won't you come and be forget the past and live forget the past and live

Take Your Time music & lyrics by E. Tiberi Day has come I knew you'd wound Now you howl The time has come Now y'own to me We don't seem to come ‘round To find a point Take your time Take your time to grasp Dear myself, you have to remember Take your time Are you taking your time to grasp?Face yourself, you must stop pretending Go take a walk Go see the folk Lose your way Go take a lay Recovering from demise From the lies that you were living off Those dreams you'll never kill Take your time Take your time to grasp Dear myself you have to remember Take your time Are you taking your time to grasp? Face yourself, you must stop pretending You have to remember You can stop pretending You can live it up alone Take your time Take your time to build Face them all...,Those mistakes and get by Take your time Are you taking your time to rest Take your time here comes deconstruction Trace your line Trace your line of self Be your own addiction Tell them all Tell them to fuck off Face yourself without misconceptions

The Filter 04:54
The Filter music & lyrics by E. Tiberi Sitting on a bench, outside, The cold became more tolerable, With a cigarette in hand It made that background noise perfect We felt like we were Awaiting to see the end of all The turning machinery's no end It marks its time Expecting an alien sun to rise Overhead Oddly enough We became deaf The noise of nothingness Our ears had burned Awhile we huddled together Against the cold apocalypse While smoke it blurred bewildered us The placard slowly whirled The rusty friction iron rattling, Without ceasing, deeply, echoing The turning machinery's no end It marks its time Expecting an alien sun to rise Overhead And smiling and kidding We coped with ourselves Between the puffs And the green sun ahead Our emotions, our revolutions In the time of a last cigarette The turning machinery's no end It marks its time Expecting an alien sun to rise Overhead This is not what I craved The filter rings a bell Tell me this is not the end of everything

Le Ombre 05:05
Le Ombre music & lyrics by E. Tiberi Look at those simple dooms Look at those fails Look at the wings and say Say, who acts the show? Who acts the show? Look at the folks Look at those faces You're all alone, and now, you're on! Do you still wait for the claps? Do you still search for those claps? All you know is you're all alone. Look at your fans and now Look at your nays 'Sit worth the oaths and prayers The lies? Look now and say Do you still wait for the claps? Do you still search for those claps? All you know is you're all alone.

Still Winds They Blow music & lyrics by E. Tiberi Tonight I'll sleep alone I'll dream the place we live everyday Tonight, lost my way home I'm stuck in this place all alone The silence, the smell of the plays The dim reflections in the dark The absence of anyone The bare contact with myself Life is a seat or a stage Days in smiles or in a rage Act or lie, sing and dream, Take the risk, take the risk, sleep alone Tonight I'll sleep alone Forget about the others and dream Tonight I'll watch my play From down the seat, I'll dream of me I don't know What “you”, what “I”, what “they” is, But one thing I know... One 1 thing I know Life is a seat or a stage Days in smiles or in a cage And loves they fade And things they end And trains they go Still winds they blow I'll sleep alone tonight

Common Superstar System music & lyrics by E. Tiberi They have built a theatre and we are the bricks I know they did but I dunno when They’ve sold us tickets And we are the money I see the show but I dunno when They’ve had us clap And we are the sound of silence They're writing on our skin the smiles and lies They have given us a script And told us it was a libretto They have decided our loudness The words and gestures They have made our life a show business They made us stars They made us stars They have made our life a show business I am a star! I am a star! They have given us a script And told us it was a librettoContaining in the inside the smiles and lies We never had a second To spend on knowing The director We never had a second to just have a rest And throw away the mask We never had a second To spend on knowing The director We never had a second to ask for a day off And throw away the mask

Mirror Me 03:43
Mirror Me music & vocals by E. Tiberi Medusa, I drown in the light of your eyes I drown in your face I drown in everything's not said I drown in fever I drown - backstabbing me I drown - I'm against me My eyes - I drown for all they don't say Take me away From the lies that I've got for me From the fears that I wanna inject inside of me Take me away Take me away, please Can you hear me hushing I've lost the dig of them I drown Reflection dear I feel the hurt Of those silent lies In, thru the skin, on my back What’re you doin' to me! Take me away From the lies that I've got for me From the fears that I've chained to me Take me awayPlease Take me back to my home 'Cos I'm so lonely with them in my life I don't want 'nymore those scars I don't want 'nymore those scars in my skin It's such a joke But not that joke... I drown, I drown

about

Some opinions about Medusa:

“Medusa is a great album; it proves that rock is not dead and that bands are not afraid today to play hard and loud. Rockers who enjoy the combination of Hard Rock and some Modern Progressive Rock Sophistication, this is album is just for you." Mugzmag
(www.mugzmag.com/rock/shell-collector-medusa/)

"The songs are very ‘Prog’ in the sense that they go where ever they *need* to go and not fall into the clichés of given song structures most bands use: verse - chorus - c part. This gives the album a natural flow and a sense of a cinematic experience of what I envisioned as a futuristic film retrospection the past, present and future." Metal Temple (www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/t_2/the-shell-collector.htm)

"No genre convention is left unturned, no stylistic departure is too warped for this diabolical duo and yet, for all that the album sounds like it should sound messier than the damaged guitar work of a three-fingered octogenarian on acid, ‘Medusa’ is a brilliantly cohesive and compelling body of work. Like any great album, there is no real review that can do justice to the insanity that the band have captured on disc, so bite the bullet, head on over to the band’s webpage and check them out for yourself." Sonic Abuse
(www.sonicabuse.com/2014/04/the-shell-collector-medusa-album-review/)

" The experimental combination of all these genres gives a uniqueness to the band which does not afraid to play “mixed up sounds."
Eleven tracks in an album, all unique and different, which the do not tire at all!
Very good job and I highly recommend them!" R1 Radio
(www.r1-radio.eu/2014/05/the-shell-collector-medusa-review.html)
