Uomo contorto
Cinemavolta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Manie persecutorie
Sindrome di Burn-out
Sento che ho anche quella
Sento di cadere
Penso col bicchiere
Di annegare
Tu sai bene di avermi ridotto ad un uomo contorto
Sempre più insicuro
Sguardo appeso al muro
Placo questo vuoto
Foderandolo di poco
Chiuso dentro casa
Vorrei un po' d'aria aperta
Ma se esco
Manca il mio divano
Tu sai bene di avermi ridotto ad un uomo contorto
The lyrics of Cinemavolta's "Uomo contorto" describe a person who is struggling with various mental health issues such as neuroses, persecutory mania, and burnout syndrome. The singer of the song feels that they too are falling into these dark places. They use alcohol as a coping mechanism, seeking solace in the bottom of a glass, but this only serves to reinforce feelings of shame and isolation.
The singer's loved one is aware of their struggles and acknowledges that they have been reduced to a contorted version of themselves. The person described in the song is increasingly insecure, and their gaze is fixed on the wall, trying to placate the emptiness they feel inside. They try to fill the void with small things but are unable to shake the feeling that they are trapped, enclosed in their own home. The singer longs for fresh air but finds it impossible to leave the comfort of their own couch.
