I keep my enemies closer than my mirror ever gets to me
And if you think that there is shelter in this attitude
Wait til you feel the warmth of my gratitude.
One, I get the feeling that it's two against one.
One, I'm already fighting me, so what's another one?
The mirror is a trigger and your mouth's a gun.
One, Lucky for me, I'm not the only one.
And if it looks to me like you in your reflection
Plan to add your own fight to this dimension.
Then tell it that this ain't no free-for-all to see,
There's only three
It's just you and me against me.
One, I get the feeling that it's two against one.
One, I'm already fighting me, so what's another one?
The mirror is a trigger and your mouth's a gun.
One, lucky for me, I'm not the only one.
Lucky for me, I'm not the only one.
And if your foot's on to sick a thousand "yes men"
Brand or brake into the middle of this little plan…
Then there's your plan to hear me say,
That I won't play around the way, anyway
I plan to plan around them.
One, I get the feeling that it's two against one.
One, I'm already fighting me, so what's another one?
The mirror is a trigger and your mouth's a gun.
One, lucky for me, I'm not the only one.
Lucky for me, I'm not the only one…
Daniele Luppi is an Italian composer and music producer who has been active since around 1999. He is an Emmy nominated film and television composer and has worked with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gnarls Barkley and John Legend.
As a film composer, Luppi has scored a number of productions including the Assassination of a High School President starring Bruce Willis, and the award-winning indie film Bad Habits. His work in television includes an "Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music" Emmy nomination for Netflix's Marco Polo and STARZ's Magic City.
Beyond the scoring stage and in the studio, Luppi has put forward a string of releases that exemplify various eras of Italian music. His first album, An Italian Story, paid homage to vintage 60s and 70s soundstage compositions and featured contributions by members of Marc 4. Rome, a conceptual follow-up, was described as "purely gorgeous" by Pitchfork, seen as a foray into the mainstream and was praised for its collaborations with Jack White, Norah Jones and Danger Mouse. MILANO, Luppi's 2017 full-length album featuring accompaniment from Karen O and Parquet Courts, is the final volume of his Italian trilogy. Whereas his previous work called on a cinematic era in Italian music, MILANO examined the 1980s New York no wave and punk scene and its influence on Milanese music, fashion and high-art, and served as a finale acknowledging Italy's arts and culture.
Luppi has written collaborative arrangements for The Getaway by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gnarls Barkley's debut St. Elsewhere, and the self-titled album from Broken Bells. He has also contributed string arrangements for Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, John Legend's R&B album Once Again, and Faith No More/Mr. Bungle front man Mike Patton.
