The end of the circle. Cynic<\/em> is the central piece of The Attraction of Opposites<\/em>, and it is the perfect album synthesis. All pairs of tracks, opposites each other, show contradictions, fears, cynicism. Here, however, it manifests a human being who has exceeded his limits, his\u00a0regrets, and has gone beyond\u00a0even his cynicism, the same one that transpires from other\u00a0lyrics.<\/p>\n

A “new” person<\/strong><\/p>\n

The search for yourself, a particularly recurring theme in the album, seems to find its fulfillment here. The person feels really self-conscious, awareness, he is able to face the fears, to overcome his inner conflicts and live in the present time. Cynic<\/em>\u00a0also overcomes\u00a0the paradox of aid from the outside as opposed to independence from the\u00a0others ideas (the contrast that existed between The Witness<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Your Way<\/a>): here we speak of someone who teaches you something (or gives you\u00a0help), but at the same time there are a number of personal actions that are performed by yourself\u00a0(I’ll break the screen – I’ll cross it all – I feel<\/em>), and those actions\u00a0make you independent and active.<\/p>\n
