Lyrics
All lyrics were written by Giorgia Gueglio and the album can be considered a concept album about the "desire" theme. Giorgia Gueglio said in a recent interview: "We can consider the album as a concept. There is not a story but every song tells about a different meaning of the word “desire”. This word seems so simple but the desire is the main engine of all our thoughts and actions. There is nothing programmed about it. There is something “intriguing”, “sensual” and “energetic” in the songs and I did my best to express them with the lyrics".[4]
