C1
Cervello Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake me up I′ve had enought,
Stearing at the walls of sound that you made up
All the trust i've found in rust,
Standing on my leash and see what you′ve become

Everytime i fell in pain i would have made you feel the same
Just to see how strong you are...

Cause we are, we are,
The product of our dedication how do you like that
Cause we are, we are,
The shaders of our own salvation, caught in a mind gap

Wake me up i've had enought,
To watch you in the fields of joy with all your luck
Lost my soul weak and cold,
When i try to breed the air you made i chooke

Everytime i fell in pain i would have made
You feel the same, then it's starts all over

Everytime you made me pay i found new ways to delay
"This is now the way i am

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cervello's song C1 carry a message of frustration, disillusionment, and a search for individuality. The singer is tired of being in the shadow of someone else's creativity, represented by the "walls of sound" that have been "made up". They have lost trust in the situation and feel trapped, like they are "standing on [their] leash". The singer admits to wanting to make the other person feel the same pain they have experienced, in order to test their strength.

The chorus reflects a desire for self-determination, the idea that the individual is responsible for their own success or failure. The "product of our dedication" refers to the results of hard work and persistence. The singer asserts that they are "the shaders of [their] own salvation", taking control of their destiny instead of being at the mercy of external circumstances.

The theme of alienation and frustration with conformity is further developed in the second verse. The singer is tired of watching the other person revel in happiness and success, while they feel lost and empty. They have tried to emulate the other's approach to life, but it has left them feeling suffocated and unable to breathe. However, they also acknowledge that they have found strength from enduring the pain inflicted by the other person's actions. The final line, "This is now the way I am", is a declaration of independence, a refusal to be defined by anyone else's expectations.

Line by Line Meaning

Wake me up I’ve had enough
I am exhausted and want to escape from my current situation

Staring at the walls of sound that you made up
I am surrounded by noise that you created and I can't escape it

All the trust I've found in rust
The trust I had in you has faded and is now worthless

Standing on my leash and see what you've become
I am trapped and can only watch as you transform into someone I no longer recognize

Every time I fell in pain I would have made you feel the same
I wanted you to experience the same pain that I felt

Just to see how strong you are…
To test your strength and resilience

Cause we are, we are, The product of our dedication how do you like that
We are a result of our hard work and commitment, are you proud of that?

Cause we are, we are, The shaders of our own salvation, caught in a mind gap
We control our own destiny but sometimes struggle to find our way

Wake me up I've had enough, To watch you in the fields of joy with all your luck
I am tired of seeing you succeed effortlessly while I struggle

Lost my soul weak and cold, When I try to breathe the air you made I choke
I feel drained and suffocated trying to fit into the world you created

Every time I fell in pain I would have made you feel the same, then it's starts all over
I repeat the cycle of hurting you as revenge for my own pain
