Virus
E.D.A & Chris Wunj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, Internet è un virus
Mi rovina il sonno e il vino
Questa notte l'ho sognata, dovrei dirlo a mia cognata
Ma a quest'ora quella dorme, patologico il viale con le orme
La California non è magica, l'Arizona è zona arida
La mafia è nata in USA
Gli alieni sono una scusa
Solo film di merda al cine-
In cui anche la donna uccide
Gli tagliano la strada, panico
'Sto tassista non è un manico
Okay, avete vinto voi
È meglio vivere da soli
Dal benzinaio faccio una rapina e grido: "È colpa della Cina"
Belle facce, ma superflue, dammi quello che mi serve
Ringrazio tutti i presenti per restare adolescenti
Ombre corte sulla strada, senza crema sono cavia
Speriamo che me la cavo
Mangio moscerini in un cabrio
Faccio tutto in retromarcia
Che è stata inventata in Asia

Qui finiscono le case
Mi tuffo come mi pare
Nel riflesso della luna
E poi nudo nella buca
Dormo e mi rimetto in sesto
Mi sveglio e mi avanza un pezzo
Chiedono: "Fa parte di nessuno?"
Quindi muovo me, benvenuto

D'ora in poi tutta vacanza
Tipo frutta in abbondanza
Tipo le donne latine son sempre vestite estive
Faccio un gesto con il piede ma lei quasi non lo vede
La distraggono le calze
E ama gli accessori delle stanze
Le copie delle sculture che ci si emoziona pure
Sogna di andare in Italia
E farsi un selfie alla Scala
Dice che a casa ha dieci cobra
E se ha tempo me li mostra
Le dico "Il tempo non mi manca"
Sono appena stato in banca
Che bei buchi la sua carne
Il culo sembrava Blade Runner
Notte in casa a luci spente
City ne ha uno intermittente

E questo specchio mi ricorda un incidente a Babilonia




Detto questo ci casco sopra e le rompo tutti i cobra
Stai già imparando a danneggiarmi, dicevi: "È meglio se non mi richiami"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Virus" by E.D.A and Chris Wunj talk about the negative effects of the "virus" that is the internet. The singer sings that it ruins their sleep and wine, and even appears in their dreams. They mention different places, such as California and Arizona, and the origin of the mafia in the USA. The lyrics also touch on the prevalence of bad movies in which women kill and panic ensues. The singer expresses a desire to live alone and blame China for their problems, even contemplating robbing a gas station. They mention the distraction and materialism of beautiful but unnecessary things, including a woman with ten cobras. The lyrics conclude with a reference to an incident in Babilonia and the singer damaging the cobras.


The lyrics of "Virus" demonstrate the negative effects of social media and technology, including addiction, distraction, and superficiality. The song's use of humor reveals how society can sometimes trivialize these issues, as evidenced by the singer's desire to blame China and rob a gas station. Additionally, the song's references to places and events point to a collective ennui and disconnection from reality, where entertainment and consumerism rule over deeper human connections.

Important Video Notes: At 3:23 - it makes a difference whether those viruses in that illustration are enveloped or not. If the viruses lack envelopes, the viruses usually do lyse this cell membrane. If they are enveloped, the viruses usually (some exceptions) would exit this eukaryotic cell without lysing.

Two things to mention! 1. UPDATE: We have videos dubbed in Spanish and Portuguese using an artificial voice via https://aloud.area120.google.com to increase accessibility. See our Amoeba Sisters en Español channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Njo3LBy53cOPngz6ArV8Q and Amoeba Sisters em Português https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYTQPX2X_mXe0ZMPi0fXxbg Want to help translate our subtitles in any language?

2. This topic is now an Unlectured Series topic! https://www.amoebasisters.com/unlectured One of the question starters in the Unlectured topic mentions two therapies still being explored that can use viruses: phage therapy and gene therapy. Something fascinating to research if you have an interest in learning more about viruses.
Also, there are some intriguing viruses that are exceptions. For example, while viruses are smaller than their host cells, there are some types of viruses that are very large and potentially larger than some of the smaller bacterial cells!

@allessandrodeleon7250

you need to be monetized

@Rachel_127

Can you do a video about Rhinoviruses?

@valhallaarts4213

Amoeba Sisters, I have been a sufferer of what people call "cystic acne" since I was around the age of 15 and I have tried a lot of things to cure or at least put it in a state of idle and I have found nothing that works so far. I'm curious if instead of this "cystic acne" issue myself and others have is not a bacterial problem but a viral problem and that is the reason that antibiotics do not work for us. Any thoughts or questions or anything you may have to help will be greatly appreciated.
