00:01 -  Opening Number - “What Does It Mean?”

It’s a perfectly normal, ordinary scene
People talking in a rhythm, saying what they mean
“Good morning,” “How’ve you been?” “I’m fine,” “Okay”
Every conversation flows the same old way

There’s a script we follow, line by line
Every joke lands right on time
But what if something slips between—

Koo de ada klean!
Romma sotta romma sotta—what does it mean?
When the words fall apart at the seams
You just sing something strange and unseen!

Koo de ada klean!
Say it loud, say it wrong, say it in between
If you’re lost in the in-between
Just go—koo de ada klean!

You’re ordering coffee, they ask your name
You forget who you are in the middle of the game
You try to recover but your brain goes blank
Now you’re sweating bullets at the counter like a crank

You could panic, you could run away
Or just lean in, let it sway
Let the nonsense intervene—

Koo de ada klean!
Romma sotta romma sotta—what does it mean?
When the moment’s turning obscene
You just throw in a koo de ada klean!

Maybe meaning’s overrated
Maybe clarity’s outdated
Maybe all we really need
Is a word that sets us free—

KOO DE ADA KLEAN!
Romma sotta romma sotta—join the scene!
When the world isn’t what it seems
We’ve got koo de ada klean!

01:59 - Solo - “Words Are Failing Me”

I rehearsed every sentence in my head last night
Every word was polished, every tone was right
But the second that I need them, they all disappear
Like a radio fading when the signal’s not clear

I try to keep it steady, try to stay on track
But the more I chase the moment, the more it pulls me back—

Words are failing me
Slipping through my hands so easily
Every thought I had just drifts away
When I need it most, I’ve got nothing left to say

So I fall into the space between
And I whisper something no one’s ever seen—
Koo de ada klean…
Koo de ada klean…

There’s a pressure in the silence, like a spotlight glare
Like the whole world’s waiting just to see you care
But the harder that I try to make the perfect sound
Is the moment that it all comes crashing down

I could fake it, I could play along
But I don’t even know what’s right or wrong—

Words are failing me
Nothing comes out how it’s supposed to be
Every line I planned just fades to gray
And I’m left with something I can’t explain

So I reach for something unforeseen
And I let it out—koo de ada klean…

Maybe it’s not what I say
Maybe it’s just letting go
Maybe it’s okay
Not to always know—

Words are failing me
But maybe that’s where I’m meant to be
If I stop trying to be pristine—
I can finally breathe in 

koo de ada klean…

05:00 - “Family Dinner Scene (Pass The Beans)”

So what are your intentions? What’s your five-year plan?
Do you have a backup? Are you even a man?
What’s your income looking like? What’s your credit score?
Do you see our child or are you wanting more?

We don’t mean to pry, we just need to know
Every tiny detail before dessert can go—

Answer every question, make it crystal clean
No hesitation, no in-between!
If you’ve got nothing, then explain the scene—
Go on, speak up, what do you mean?!

I had all the answers, I rehearsed them twice
I had charming little jokes and some safe advice
But the moment that you asked me, my brain said “nope”
Now I’m dangling by a thread at the end of a rope—

I could try to bluff, I could try to pivot—
Or I could just embrace it and completely live it—

KOO DE ADA KLEAN!
Romma sotta romma sotta—pass the beans!
If you don’t know what you mean
Just go KOO DE ADA KLEAN! *flatulence*

Maybe that’s profound?
Maybe that’s the key?
Maybe all these questions
Don’t mean anything!

KOO DE ADA KLEAN!
Romma sotta romma sotta—family scene!
If the truth is rarely clean—
We’ll accept your koo de ada klean!

06:34 - Duet - “Somewhere In Between”

I had a sentence ready, it was simple, it was clean
But now it’s like a ghost of something I can’t quite retrieve

You don’t have to force it, you don’t have to make it right
Sometimes all the pressure just pulls it out of sight

Every word feels heavier the moment that I speak
Like I’m walking on a wire stretched a mile above the street

I’ve been there pretending that I know just what to say
While I’m tripping over thoughts that keep getting in the way

If I lose the moment—
If it slips away—
If I say the wrong thing—
What if that’s okay?

Words are failing me
(They don’t have to be)
Falling into spaces I can’t see
(There’s a place where we don’t need them)

Somewhere in between the fear and clean
There’s a sound that says what we mean—

Koo de ada klean…

Koo de ada klean…

Maybe we’ve been chasing something we don’t really need
Like a perfect explanation for every thought we breathe
Maybe there’s a language buried underneath the doubt
Where the truth is in the feeling, not the way it’s coming out

If we drop the act—
If we let it go—
We don’t need the answers—
We just need to show—

Words are failing us
But maybe that’s the point of all of this
When the lines we planned don’t intervene
We can fall into the in-between—

Koo de ada klean!
oh oh oh oh 
Koo de ada klean!
oh oh oh oh 

Romma sotta romma sotta—feel the scene!
When the truth is rarely clean
We can live inside the in-between!

What if I’ve been hiding in a sound?
What if that’s the place you’re finally found?
What if I don’t know who I am without it?
Then let me stand right here beside it

You don’t need the perfect line
I don’t need to get it right
You just need to let it out
Even if it feels like noise—

Even if it feels like—

KOO DE ADA KLEAN!
Romma sotta romma sotta—sing it loud!
When you’re lost but still allowed
To be human in a crowd—

I don’t need the perfect phrase—
(You don’t need to be explained)

I just need to not be afraid
Of the mess I’ve never named

KOO DE ADA KLEAN!
If it’s nothing, if it’s everything—
It’s enough to say we’ve been
Somewhere in between

…koo de ada klean...

…koo de ada klean...

Somewhere in between.

10:31- Finale – “Exactly Where You Need To Be”

There’s a moment when the silence feels too loud
When you’re standing there alone inside a crowd
Every word you thought you had just disappears
And you’re face to face with all your hidden fears

You could run, you could hide
You could keep it all inside—

Or say anything, even if it’s nothing
Even if it’s broken, even if it’s bluffing
You don’t need perfection to be seen
You just need a moment in between

Koo de ada klean!
Romma sotta romma sotta—sing it loud!
When you’re lost but still allowed
To be human in a crowd—

Maybe meaning isn’t something we can hold
Maybe truth is just a story that we’re told
Maybe all the things we’re scared to let be known
Are the things that make us feel a little less alone

So take the risk, take the fall
Say something, say it all—

Say anything, even if it’s nothing
Turn the quiet into something worth becoming
You don’t need the perfect in-between—
Just a little koo de ada klean!

Not as fear, not as disguise
But as truth you can’t revise
Not as hiding, not as shame
But a spark without a name—

KOO DE ADA KLEAN!
Romma sotta romma sotta—feel the scene!
If it’s nonsense, if it’s true
It can still connect me and you!

KOO DE ADA KLEAN!
Say it loud, say it proud, say it free!
If you don’t know what you mean—
You’re exactly where you need to be!

Koo de ada klean.
