The current lineup is made by Luca Sapio (voice), Andrea Costa (violin), Gionata Costa (cello), Stefano Ricci (upright bass), Valentino Bianchi (saxophone).
The Fault Line
Quintorigo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
already touched the place where secrets are hide
A junky hard queen is still waiting for someone
gravity is failing, I'm Feeling all right
I lived on the fault line, Stars shined for a while
never knew what I had, till I blew it away.
All my troubles gone, please don't drag me down
All my troubles were gone, now the grass is turning black
Guess I'm doin' fine clouds are flying down
closer to the branches at the peak of dawn.
I'm gonna give you all, all I got to give.
Gravity is failing, I'm Feeling all right
I lived on the fault line, Stars shined for a while
never knew what I had, till I blew it away.
All my troubles gone
Please don't drag me down
I lived on the fault line, Stars shined for a while
never knew what I had, till I blew it away.
All my troubles gone
Please don't drag me down
The opening lines of Quintorigo's song "The Fault Line" appear to suggest that the singer is in a good place mentally as the sun beats down on them. They have visited a place where secrets are kept hidden and have come away feeling that everything is going well. However, the narrative shifts toward instability and unpredictability with the mention of a "junky hard queen" waiting for someone and the realization that gravity is failing. Despite this, the singer still feels "alright" and content.
The chorus juxtaposes the singer's realization that all their troubles are gone with the realization that the grass is turning black. It seems like the singer has come to understand the transitory nature of life and the mistakes they have made in relation to their past relationships. They have lived on the "fault line" and missed what they had until it was gone.
In the second verse, the singer becomes almost reflective and philosophical as they watch the clouds fly closer to the branches at the peak of dawn. The singer decides to give everything they have to someone, perhaps in an effort to make amends for their past mistakes. Ultimately, the chorus is repeated, with the singer hoping that they will not be dragged down again.
