And any of these elements are always jointed by a free-jazz attitude and even electronics.
They were left-wing fine intellectuals and coupled their very high level compositions with poetical and elegant lyrics, criticizing conservative model with metaphors and rhetorical figures, avoiding gross and bold attacks such as left-wing punks usually did; or joking about philosophical statements, again with a lucid and brilliant style.

Facta Non Verba
Area Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the papers make me cry
In a broken land where freedom dies.
Everytime we show our feelings
Violent words speak our fear
As my faith, my world, may disappear.
We can take over the pain.
We can make things happen.
Life still goes on.
I donґt want to walk alone.
In our hands lies the fate
Of the truth we made.
Show me the way
To believe in a future,
To forgive all the sins
Of a nation who kneels.
Hope on the wind
To make real an illusion.
Without hate in our hands
We will save our homeland.
In "Facta Non Verba," Area explores the idea of living in a dangerous and broken land where freedom seems to be dying. The singer expresses their sadness at the state of the world, acknowledging that violent words are a result of fear and uncertainty. They long for a brighter tomorrow, one in which they can forgive the sins of a nation that is currently kneeling. The song is ultimately hopeful and encourages listeners to take action and make things happen to save their homeland.

Without faith, they maintain, we can still take over the pain and make things happen. The singer emphasizes the importance of keeping hope alive, even when the world feels bleak. They urge listeners to work towards a future where hate is absent and the truth prevails.
