An expressive urgency that characterizes the project ICO became concrete in the following years, throught the necessity to introduce a new chapter, able to represent in a controversial way, the uncontrollable nature of itself.
The needing to realise a new work to experiment the evolution of its nature, throught a musical grows sought and conscious, of the innovative soul of avanguard music, are the main elements of CONTROVERSO, the new album recorded and mixed in the August of 2008 at West Link studio by Ale Paolucci (Raw Power) and Ale Sportelli and mastered in October at Vanara Studio.
Controverso, the new album out soon under SupernaturalCat, is the evolution and enlightenment of the band after their debut. CONTROVERSO represents a new impulse of uncontrollable nature: structured in eight tracks, the album evolves through a conscious musical growing, moving toward the innovative soul of avanguard music.
Food
Incoming Cerebral Overdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I left wasted and missed,
Turned into food that makes my stomach full and satisfied
But leaves my heart empty.
Food made of air and ash, so clean pure and light,
I can eat it, always, in every moment
And I don't care if I stagnate like a plant
That lives and dies without any sensation.
Satisfaction became loneliness. Now I remind.
An invisible but very heavy chain keeps me immobile,
It lets me free just to eat my food,
With each bite my heart beats slower and more silent.
Poisoned food, hard to digest,
Inside my veins continues to rend the strength.
Withering food strikes integrity of my certitude
And leaves me here alone.
The song "Food" by Incoming Cerebral Overdrive appears to explore themes of regret, dissatisfaction, and existential angst. The lyrics suggest that the singer is consuming something, presumably food, that fills their stomach but leaves their heart empty. The food is described as being made of "air and ash," pure and light, but ultimately poisoned and hard to digest. The singer seems to be aware that this food is causing them harm, physically and emotionally, but they continue to consume it nonetheless. The repetition of the phrase "Now I remind" suggests that the singer is reflecting back on a time when they had something they valued, but now that thing has become a source of regret.
Line by Line Meaning
Passions and memories of a far and wasted time,
The strong emotions and recollections I have from a distant and unproductive era,
When I left wasted and missed,
When I departed unfulfilled and unappreciated,
Turned into food that makes my stomach full and satisfied
Transformed into sustenance that fills me up physically,
But leaves my heart empty.
Yet leaves me feeling emotionally empty inside.
Food made of air and ash, so clean pure and light,
Nutrition composed of particles in the air and remnants of burned matter, pristine and lightweight,
I can eat it, always, in every moment
I can consume it without restraint, at any given time,
And I don't care if I stagnate like a plant
And despite the fact that I'm treading water like a motionless shrub,
That lives and dies without any sensation.
Which exists and then perishes without experiencing any feeling or perception.
Privilege became regret. Now I remind.
My advantage became a source of remorse. I recall it now.
Satisfaction became loneliness. Now I remind.
My contentment turned into solitude. I remember it now.
An invisible but very heavy chain keeps me immobile,
An intangible but burdensome constraint traps me in place,
It lets me free just to eat my food,
It only releases me so I can eat my meal,
With each bite my heart beats slower and more silent.
As I swallow each bite, my heart's pulse decelerates and becomes quieter.
Poisoned food, hard to digest,
Hazardous nutrition, difficult to process,
Inside my veins continues to rend the strength.
It proceeds to tear away at my vitality from within my veins.
Withering food strikes integrity of my certitude
The decaying sustenance undermines the foundation of my confidence,
And leaves me here alone.
And traps me in a state of loneliness and solitariness.
