Tutto Su Eva
Carmen Consoli Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guardami negli occhi
Spogliati da ogni falsitÃ
Quell'aura di purezza tradisce diaboliche anomalie
E sai di cosa sto parlando
di cosa ho bisogno

Eppure avrai il coraggio di chiamare l'evidenza casualitÃ
Bramosia e doppiezza complottano con la piu efferata crudeltÃ

E sai di cosa sto parlando
E che mentire non e il rimedio ad un torto

Piangerai mettendo in scena l' ennesimo dramma
mentre le lacrime corrono sulle tue guance infuocate,
Eva
e giurerai su Dio e su tua madre di non aver colpa
mentre le lacrime corrono

Guardami negli occhi
Spogliati da ogni falsitÃ
Quell'aura di purezza tradisce diaboliche anomalie
E fuggi quel mostro immondo che hai creato
Quel sonno che non concede riposo

Piangerai mettendo in scena l' ennesimo dramma
mentre le lacrime corrono sulle tue guance infuocate,
Eva
e giurerai su Dio e su tua madre di non aver colpa
Mentre le lacrime bagnano la tua camicia di seta

Credetemi e un sortilegio
e l'opera di un incantesimo
non ero padrona delle mie facoltÃ

E piangerai mettendo in scena l' ennesimo dramma
mentre le lacrime corrono sulle tue guance infuocate,
Eva

e giurerai su Dio e su tua madre di non aver colpa
mentre le lacrime corrono.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carmen Consoli's song "Tutto Su Eva" are about a woman, Eva, who is confronted with her own hypocrisy and lies. The singer in the song is asking Eva to look into her eyes and be honest with herself, to strip away all the falsehoods and pretenses she has been hiding behind. The singer accuses Eva of having a purity that is a facade for diabolical anomalies, betraying her true nature. The singer knows that Eva is aware of what she is talking about, what she needs, and what must be done. However, Eva will have the courage to call the evidence a coincidence and lie to herself, leaving the wrong unhealed.

The second stanza implies that Eva's desire and duplicity combine to create the most terrible cruelty. The singer recognizes that lying is not the remedy for wronging someone. In the third and fourth stanzas, the singer tells Eva that she will cry and put on another performance of the tragedy while the tears run down her fevered cheeks, promising to God and her mother that she is not guilty of anything. The singer then advises Eva to look into their eyes and strip away all her falsehoods, finish with the monster she created, and stop living the restless dream that denies her rest.

The theme of the song seems to be a warning against self-deception and hypocritical behavior, which can wreak havoc on our lives and relationships. The singer points out that it takes courage to face one's own faults and mistakes, and that hiding behind lies only perpetuates the harm done. The song's message is powerful, and the lyrics are beautifully written and full of emotion.
