Il Nome Della Rosa
IzI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ho bisogno di più spazio per cambiare pelle
Come mi chiamo?
Sono sazio di 'ste tarantelle
Dai, mendichiamo, voglio solo contare le stelle
Non i soldi, fammi solo contare le stelle
Non i morti, voglio solo la tua pelle addosso

Quando sono nato non avevo pelle addosso
Ed ero penna e inchiostro in connessione con qualcosa
Quando penso sento l'eco, frate', il nome della rosa
Tutti quanti avvelenati, chi per rabbia, chi per noia, chi

Chi prenota qui per aria, siamo come chi
Non mangia da due lucri perché non c'è cibo in frigo
Sai che siamo come i lupi, un po' mansueti, un po' assassini
Guardo l'occhio, dopo provo a definire una persona, dai

Se ha l'ombra dentro oppure gioia, oppure cosa c'hai





Non faccio tutto ciò per gloria ma per comprensione
Chiunque c'ha un po' di ragione subisce oppressione
