It's Over 04:02
–It's over Thank you for the help I didn’t expect But it’s like nothing has changed Leaving the place with a smile Seems too comfortable to be real And as I approach the sidewalk The pink fan appears from the clouds And now I'm taking a nap In the ocean of blue boxes And even if it was, it wasn’t over The feeling didn’t go away I had to wait I had to hope this darkness Will fly To light up my world Because the sun could not Because the sun could not "Laying in the bed won’t help you to recover. You have to wake up by yourself. Nobody will come. The numbers are here. You did it." I have to face myself I have to face myself [yeah] I have to face myself I have to face myself I have to face myself I have to face myself [yeah] I have to face myself I have to face myself It isn’t over yet It isn’t over yet It isn't over yet But it's like Something has changed

Clay tennis courts Sharp pencil lines Chords and keys Greek dictionary Paper and colours Dark hyperuranion Where do I start? Where do I start? Where do I start? Where do I start? Leaves of numbers Your cute eyes Cool guitar tunes Dark ink in white Two hundred stars Two hundred stars Lost in the Rubik cube Lost in the green circle Lost Lost Where do I start? Where do I start? Where do I start? Where do I start?

Jump out the bed, the sight is clearer Drank a cup of milk and cereals I staggered off to the mirror And looking better it wasn’t that bad Jump on the chair, the hands are ready My work was complete already And looking better it wasn’t that bad It's not that bad It's not that bad It's not that bad It's not that bad Let's go, yeah Jump on my arms, we are going We sang along such a good song And as her eyes met my gaze She said to me: "it was nice today" (It was nice today) (It was nice today) Really nice today Jump on the bed, the sight isn’t here Drank a pink cold-iced drink I had my way to my dreams And thinking about it, it was that bad Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah-huh

Empyreal tunes passing in my mind When I search what I was trying to find The mirror is not me but it's mistaking And the water does not dry out Gently lying on the floor Of a pyramidal room without doors Where everything is ignored Where everything is ignored Skeletons cut off by flying lightsabers Odd guitar tunes in the river on the bed Water mirrors in this world Makes everything seems less cold Water mirrors in this world Where there's no need to hold me down Hours seem to past too fast Gotta grasp a nap in a gasp Being myself is hard in those times So I'll just stay here and it's fine Fine Fine Na na na na Na na na na na na na na Water mirrors in this world Makes everything seems less cold Water mirrors in this world Where there's no need to hold (down) Down (down)

Soldiers with black Armani jacket Mannequins of the popular people They penetrate every kind of market I wanna run away from the foam I want the genuine thing I want to know what it’s like to be real But the foam on the seashore came closer And even though months have passed it didn’t get older But the foam on the seashore came closer And even though years have passed it didn’t get older Why you’re hiding in the night? You have such beautiful eyes Quit the darkness and make it light I want to feel your real being I want to see your real face I want to hear your true voice But the foam on the seashore came closer And even though decades have passed it didn’t get older But the foam on the seashore came closer And even though centuries have passed it didn’t get older

Cool mood in the night over my shoes As I crawl to the shadows as once I was used to The music started to play It was rough and raw Red, green and blue flashes, that was all I saw I sat down to observe the dark deep ocean The lighthouse stroked a safe way to run You don’t know how it feels To be a twine in the sweater You should know how it feels To be at our little showdown Our little showdown Good night from a bunny (girl) But it ain't really that funny (girl) Then two twenty years old thought They were the only ones in this world I said "let's go, this is not our place" And then I saw a face I had never seen before Our little showdown was over You don’t know how it feels To be a twine in the sweater You should know how it feels To be at our little showdown Our little showdown Our little showdown was over The sky is clearing and the moon is fading My legs are about to fall but I keep going And as we reach the tranquillity base Their eyes softly close as the sun rises I gently move away to leave the floor And I look for the last time to close the door You don’t know how it feels To be a twine in the sweater And you don’t know how it feels To be a fool like me And you don’t know what it’s like to be To be the loner at the end of the showdown

I saw you under an autumn tree Drawing with style Leaves fell hiding what you thought With an innocent smile And a cute blush on the cheek You looked like my type of girl You had filled my heart with hope Just to cut the rope apart Your name kept passing through my mind Stealing my heart like that Should be a crime Crime "And it's hard to look at you every day But I guess that’s the only way And nothing else to say But if I could say something It’s sad that in the end There had never been anything Between you and I" And I didn’t think your tears Could stop so easily For all the time you kept hiding behind the leaves For all the time you kept hiding behind the leaves For all the time you kept hiding behind the leaves, oh girl

It’s early in the morning And the skeletons are roaming Pushing and stabbing each other, and I say sono dei cloni Intangible blood crawled all across the floor But they don’t get hurt Hurt Hurt I later picked a drink And my ears started to sink The skeleton barked at his brother And they yelled and beat each other But they don’t get hurt Hurt Hurt Hu-hu-hu-hu Hordes of skeletons Hordes of skeletons Hordes of skeletons Hordes of skeletons As I look at my reflection in the window tired and sick I put my headphones on to drown a bit with some music But I can't help but feel The roars of anger and the screams of pain But they don’t have a soul So they don't get hurt So they don't get hurt So they don't get hurt So they don't get hurt

In My Head 02:41
Once there was a time When we could play together I hope you can hear this line So rest in peace forever Rest in peace forever Rest in peace forever Rest in peace forever Rest in peace forever I wish my mind a better place I swear this kind of mutter is over This is the end of the race We’re getting closer So rest in peace forever So rest in peace forever So rest in peace forever So rest in peace forever Ah Ah And if you want to know the truth The truth is that the confusion will never end But hey, this is my stupid youth And everything is just in my head In my head My friend.

about

Hey, I am Mequantum.
I have been in touch with music since I was a young kid as a pianist and this vein reemerged a year ago when I decided to pick up a guitar. Becoming a music fan and listening to tons of albums and different artists made me create one: Confusion As A Cold Summer Drink. Even though the album revolves around a fictional character, it is deeply influenced by my personal experiences and my personal feelings. I did it all by myself and made do with the few tools and other things I have in the room, so the quality sucks, and my vocals are horrible. Anyway I'm a super passionate dude with a lot of ideas on my mind, and a deep attachment to art in general. I'll use any method possibile to express what I'm feeling, so in my brief life I practiced writing and drawing as well.

Confusion As A Cold Summer Drink is a concept album about a confused teenager struggling with the problems that school, depression, loneliness and love gave to him during the school term. The album is raw, confused, flawed, and is the embodiment of what a sixteen year old can do with passion, desire to do and create, with anger, and with the frustration of not being understood by anyone. Once the long awaited summer (a supposedly rest time, which later reveals to be an illusion) has begun, the main character --which is Mequantum-- eventually finds out that he cannot relax and have fun like any other normal person: he has to solve all the problems that have arisen during the school times, which have created a lot of turmoil in his head. The various situations explore different confused sides of his mind and each song is a taste of a cold drink, which here works as the metaphor of having fun during summertime: throughout the album he faces numerous mental and physical situations that will develop deep and intricate thoughts inside him about himself, and about people. Everything will lead him to come to a very harsh conclusion.
