A way in which I could express inner anxieties and be liberated from being bent into shape by the same mundane existence prior to this tidal wave of conceivability. An exciting revelation that would help me exorcise inner demons and diminish gut wrenching pains and worries. The idea was this very platform "Tu Amore" all be it introspective and excruciatingly personal. None the less we invite you, we invite you to listen and to expel and deter those amongst us too ignorant for our very own eyes. On April 1st 2011 the band was official born into the outside world. If what you hear (or see) passes you with no consequence then I thank you incredibly for your adventurous and enthusiastic eyes and ears, however if you feel what we feel help us by spreading the word. Music is a right to those who want to hear it and is not merely a privilege to only those "wealthy" enough to pay for it therefore our music is free and will remain free. We ask not for your acceptance as individuals or your money but simply to withhold a communion with us through passionate music that is neither good, bad or indifferent but that is honest and with deep thought.

Speranza
Tu amore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me away
To that place I thought I'll never see again
It all seem clear
In the eye of a hurricane
And tell me do you think of him at night
And do you echo round just to say "you'll be alright"?

And do you love him?

And do you love him?
And do you love him?
I think you do.

Well I'd rather live in your hellish world than alone in mine
Well I'd rather die with my head held high than this thorn in my side
And won't you love me?

Rain, rain on me
Well there are rivers flowing up and down these streets
Tell me will you meet me
Oh in that place we go when were in our dreams?
If you're there won't you let me know?

And do you love him?
Do you love him?
Do you love him?
Well I think you do.

Well I'd rather live in your hellish world than alone in mine

Well I'd rather die with my head held high than this thorn in my side
And won't you love me?

The chorus repeats the question of whether this person loves the one they are thinking about before concluding that they think they do.

The second half of the song repeats the singer's desire to be loved and their willingness to face the difficulties that may come with it, saying they would rather live in the other person's "hellish world" than be alone in their own. The song concludes with a plea for rain and the hope of meeting in a dreamlike place. Overall, the song expresses both a sense of longing and a willingness to go through difficulties for love.
