about

Averno, the greek and latin word for Hell, is the dark that we all have inside and in which we sink regularly. We all live in balance on a thin metaphoric rope tense over a chasm ready to swallow us. On the bottom there are demons, hyenas ready to tear us apart with the insecurities that pervade us. Every time that we lose balance and fall, getting out is a challenge with ourselves, every foothold we find on our way up forces us to face sides of ourselves that we know way too well but try to avoid, that we don’t want to listen, that we’d like to forget. Averno is the black spark that we all live in our daily lives, and sometimes manages to swallow us. Averno is depression. Averno is the perpetual fight to climb back up.

lyrics

I have always
Walked poised on a path
Between reality and darkness
It's like being in balance on
A tight wire
Too thin to support me further
If it breaks I’ll fall between
Jaws of smiling
Hyenas
That crowd the uncertain areas of my being
Like a knife at the throat
Slowly plunge
Deeper and deeper
Without cutting anything

This infinite anxiety
The only food I am allowed to swallow
An awful poison
To which I can not give up
I knew the taste of dust gathered in my lungs
Closing my throat
Breaking my teeth in
Countless pieces

The silence here
At the bottom of the chasm
Annoying whirr
That tears my eardrums
I have always
Walked poised on a path
Between reality and darkness
It's like being in balance on
A tight wire
Too thin to support me further
If it breaks I’ll fall between
Jaws of smiling
Hyenas
That crowd the uncertain areas of my being

These old bones
On which my soul is based
Trembling and hopeless
Like nails on which I have to
Hang myself
Like steps to climb
Step by step
Until I can come back
Different from how I was born
Endless
Without age
No one will have the hope
To see me again

This infinite anxiety
The only food I am allowed to swallow
An awful poison
To which I can not give up
I knew the taste of dust gathered in my lungs
Closing my throat
Breaking my teeth in
Countless pieces

Open
No end
Without end
