Grandine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
insulta la folla delirante, cosi' ridicola nella sua auto esaltazione
ma che dolore le vostre felicita' impregnate di sicurezza
questo alveare è un enorme campo santo, vuoto di odori e privo di suoni
e prima e prima ridevo anch'io, e prima ridevo anch'io
marcisco, è tutto quello che ho sempre voluto
un fiore assorda questo cielo di cemento, per qualche attimo ancora
non sentire, non vedere, non amare, non provare niente per nessuno
la compassione stimola nuovamente le mie viscere marciulente
e' carne morta, odore nauseabondo, vomito, sperma
falsita', innumerevoli falsita', chiudono nei circuiti ogni singola parte
cellule impazzite vivranno ancora ma non prima di morire.
The lyrics to Grandine's song "/..." are rich in metaphors and vivid imagery, reflecting the artist's disillusionment and sense of alienation from the world around them. In the first verse, the artist expresses their feelings of being violated and exposed to the world, with a camera pointed at them and their life. This sense of intrusion and lack of privacy is compounded by their rejection of society's obsession with self-promotion and obsession with happiness. The artist sees this as a facade that masks a deeper emptiness and sense of loss.
In the second verse, the artist delves deeper into their own psyche, exploring their own self-destructive tendencies and attraction to decay and decayed things. The image of a flower blooming in a cement sky is a powerful symbol of beauty in the midst of ugliness and stagnation. The artist's rejection of emotion and human connection is expressed through a repeated refrain of "not feeling, not seeing, not loving, not trying anything for anyone." Their disgust with the world around them is reflected in the final lines, describing the decay and death of their body and the falseness that pervades every aspect of modern life.
Overall, this song is a powerful statement on the modern world and the sense of alienation and despair that many people feel in the face of society's focus on superficiality and materialism.

Intestinalmente sconvolto con una telecamera puntata sulla mia vita sputo in ragione
Feeling internally shaken with a camera pointed at my life, I spit in reason
insulta la folla delirante, cosi' ridicola nella sua auto esaltazione
Insulting the delirious crowd, so ridiculous in its self-exaltation
ma che dolore le vostre felicita' impregnate di sicurezza
But what pain your happiness, impregnated with security
questo alveare è un enorme campo santo, vuoto di odori e privo di suoni
This beehive is a huge cemetery, empty of smells and devoid of sounds
e prima e prima ridevo anch'io, e prima ridevo anch'io
And before and before, I laughed too, and before I laughed too
marcisco, è tutto quello che ho sempre voluto
I decay, it's all I ever wanted
un fiore assorda questo cielo di cemento, per qualche attimo ancora
A flower deafens this cement sky, for a little while longer
non sentire, non vedere, non amare, non provare niente per nessuno
Not feel, not see, not love, not feel anything for anyone
semplici, inutili, bisogni di simulare
Simple, useless, needs to simulate
la compassione stimola nuovamente le mie viscere marciulente
Compassion stimulates my rotting bowels again
e' carne morta, odore nauseabondo, vomito, sperma
It's dead flesh, nauseating smell, vomit, sperm
falsita', innumerevoli falsita', chiudono nei circuiti ogni singola parte
Falsehoods, countless falsehoods, close each single part in the circuits
cellule impazzite vivranno ancora ma non prima di morire.
Mad cells will live again but not before they die.
