Initially, the group line up consists on four elements: Maurice (vocals), Marco "Charon" (Guitar), Shiva (bass) and Sandrone (drums, formerly member of 'Verde Bianco Rosso').

Open your eyes, it's time to react-You must understand, you must face the fact! Refuse their rules and istitution against repression it take aggresion!

The lyrics to A.D.L. 122's song PULL THE TRIGGER are a call to action for the oppressed, urging them to take up arms against the system that seeks to keep them down. The song is mainly addressed to the "Whiteman" who is asked to re-examine the cause for which he fights - his money or his ideals. The media is portrayed as a hindrance to the revolutionary cause and are accused of brainwashing people into forgetting the color of their flag i.e. their national identity. The song is a warning against accepting the status quo and encourages people to react and refuse the rules and institutions that enforce repression.
The song is a product of the punk rock music genre, which is known for its political and social commentary. The lyrics are a reflection of the era in which the song was written, a time when many young people felt disillusioned with the government, the media and society at large. The song urges people to take matters into their own hands, to fight against the oppressive system and to pull the trigger if necessary. The chorus repeats the message of fighting for one's rights and shooting the system, while the anger that the singer feels against the establishment is palpable.
