Il mondo di Asile è fatto di suoni. Prima di tutto.
Il mondo di Asile è una stanza dalle mura sottili, apparentemente impenetrabile. Ma in fondo basta tendere l'orecchio per ascoltare tutto quello che c'è dentro. Tra le foglie rigogliose di una natura incontaminata, si ergono come sequoie 16 piccole perle, 14 poesie, 14 pensieri. E in mezzo alla stanza siede lei, Elisa, lo sguardo timido come al solito, il sorriso appena accennato e gli occhi dolci. E lei è così a suo agio. E lei si muove come solo nel suo habitat naturale può fare. E ci mostra orgogliosa le sue mille metamorfosi. Da piccola Bjork nostrana in Chameleon, a danzereccia yogini in Happiness Is Home. Urlando in silenzio il suo bisogno di ordine (Just Some Order), svelando i suoi pensieri (Asile's World), danzando tra i rami dei suoi alberi senza bisogno di chiedere altro (Creature), guardando gli uccelli piangere e dipingendo malinconici volti sulla luna (Come Speak To Me).
Il disco più difficile di Elisa, forse il più bello, sicuramente il meno conosciuto. Con una bella produzione (tra gli altri, Rustici e Howie B), Elisa è già grande al suo secondo album. Dieci.

01 Gift (04:20)
Na na na na na… (in the other room)
In the other room, I’m the other girl
I’m another one of your children
it’s this other face, this other name
I’m the other girl (want to be in the other room)
when you’re calling me, when you’re calling me
Your gift
receiving through this
body of mine
is alive, so alive
Your gift
receiving through this
body of mine
is alive, so alive
I am bleeding joy, still peaceful
I am waiting for patience
I live something beautiful
just thinking not too fast
I’m still here (want to be in the other room)
When you’re calling me, when you’re calling me
Your gift
receiving through this
body of mine
is alive, so alive
Your gift
receiving through this
body of mine
is alive, so alive
my secrets are now
things I can touch
this is complicity
I’m going to embrace
this man with no face…just fly
Your gift
receiving through this
body of mine
is alive, so alive
Your gift
shining through this
body of mine
is alive, so alive
Your gift is giving, as receiving...
02 Chameleon (04:14)
It is just raining
it is just micro macro mood
it is just no words to say
it is just being in love
it is just fragility
it’s so unknown, aha, aha…
it’s that I shouldn’t talk no more
I shouldn’t talk no more
I hold a chameleon in my heart
disastrous and divine
and I’m never alone and he is my guide
and I’m never alone and he is my guide
and he is my guide
it’s just ridiculous
it is just how much I ignore
it is just they are talking to me
it’s that I want to understand
it is just the way it works
it is just too many chains sometimes
it’s that I should stop speaking now
I should stop speaking now
I hold a chameleon in my heart
disastrous and divine
and I’m never alone and he is my guide
and I’m never alone and he is my guide
I hold a chameleon in my heart
disastrous and divine
and I’m never alone and he is my guide
and I’m never alone and he is my guide
I hold a chameleon in my heart
disastrous and divine
and I’m never alone and he is my guide
and I’m never alone and he is my guide

Run up those stairs
Cause someone's waiting
You'd better run up those stairs
Somebody's waiting
You're so tired after you've worked
But you know you can miss things
It's so powerful and it will take
Troubles out of your head
It's so powerful and it will take
Troubles out of your head
You're rushing
This is the best lover
Music is the best lover
It's the best lover, the best lover
You're thinking in a strange way
You're so afraid of problems
You're thinking in a strange way
You're so afraid of problems
You're afraid of problems
You're so scared about the ground
And what's so scared about the ground

You run up those stairs
Somebody's waiting
You'd better run up those stairs
Somebody's waiting
You're so tired after you've worked
But you know you can miss things
You're so tired after you've worked
But you know you can miss things

Di Me Myself & I
Elisa è stata definita una Björk italiana, ma non lo è: la scelta delle sonorità è dettata da una necessità di cercare senza trovare.
L'omogeneità qui non è data dalle sonorità, ma da un'angoscia che sembra pervadere tutto l'album.
