Satis Vixi
Ataraxia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Satis vixi sine causa
acta est fabula
omnia sub leges mors vocat atra suas
ad perpetuam rei memoriam
mors acerba aut mori in tormentis
morsi sibi consiscere
mors ultima ratio
animus ad corpore se abstrahit
ad perpetuam rei memoriam





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ataraxia's song Satis Vixi explores the theme of death and the transience of life. The opening lines "Satis vixi sine causa, acta est fabula" translate to "I have lived enough without reason, it's all been a performance." The singer suggests that life is meaningless and that they have lived their life without a clear purpose or direction. In the next lines, "omnia sub leges mors vocat atra suas," the singer suggests that death is an inevitability that rules over everything and claims all in its time. It is a powerful and relentless force that cannot be avoided.


The following lines, "ad perpetuam rei memoriam, mors acerba aut mori in tormentis, morsi sibi consiscere, mors ultima ratio, animus ad corpore se abstrahit," further describe the singer's meditation on death. They seem to suggest that death is a chance to leave a lasting legacy, although it is often painful and torturous. The singer also considers the concept of suicide as an ultimate escape from life's pain, but acknowledges that it is not often a painless or easy death. Finally, the singer suggests that the soul or spirit departs the body at the moment of death.


Overall, Ataraxia's Satis Vixi is a powerful meditation on death and the transience of life. The lyrics suggest that life is often meaningless and without purpose, and that death is an inevitability that claims all in its time. The singer expresses a range of emotions in coming to terms with this reality, including a sense of acceptance, pain, and even release.

No puedo creerlo, mi canción preciosísima. Aunque no me guste la foto de tanta catedral/iglesia, sigue siendo una belleza inexpresable escuchar la voz de Francesca y poderla unir a sus imágenes.
