Preludio
Broilers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
voglio conduri lungo la mia strada.
Una strada doue incontrerete la verità.
Aririverete ad un punto doue averete
Solamente due possibilità.
O vi mettete a cantare oppure a nuotare.
Alcolizzati e prostitute, dimenticati o persi.
Loro appartiene la notte.
Una famiglia e vivono secondo una legge.
Omertá, onore e sangue.
The lyrics to Broilers's song Preludio appear to be spoken by a person who is guiding their friends on a journey towards truth. The singer claims to know the way, and explains that along the road, the friends will arrive at a point where they will have only two options: to sing or to swim. The next few lines describe a group of people who have been forgotten or lost, and who are associated with alcohol and prostitution. The singer says that these people "belong to the night" and live like a family, following a code of silence, honor, and blood.
In these lyrics, the singer seems to be contrasting two different ways of living. On the one hand, there is the path of truth and singing, which suggests a life of openness and communication. On the other hand, there is the path of the forgotten and lost, a life in the shadows where people stick together and follow a strict code. While the language of the lyrics is somewhat vague, the references to alcohol, prostitution, and the concept of omertá suggest that this second way of life might involve illegal or criminal activities. The singer seems to be warning their friends that if they continue down this path, they may be pulled into this world and its dangers.
Overall, the lyrics to Preludio suggest a search for truth and a warning against the dangers of getting involved in the wrong crowd. The contrast between the two paths offered to the friends is stark, and the language used is evocative and intriguing, leaving the listener to ponder what exactly these people are up against.
