Occhi di Rana
Kina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Della foresta di cemento
Salgono le urla sconnesse
Dei riti degli ultimi pazzi mutanti
Due occhi di rana
Continuano a fissarmi ironici
Dietro di loro l'infinito
Delle nostre disperazioni
Una calma irreale che sale dentro
Ci svegliamo tenendoci ancora le mani
Questi giorni pazzi passano uno dietro l'altro
Forse un giorno resterà qualcosa
Dei nostri affanni.
Forse allora saremo nel corpo della rana
Senza chiederci più il senso
Del giusto e dell'errore
(Grazie a miryam per questo testo)
The song "Occhi di Rana" by Kina is a reflection on modern society's detachment from nature and its consequences. The opening lines describe the grey trunks of the cement jungle, where the screams of the last mutant crazies' rituals rise. These lines highlight the absence of nature and the presence of a world far removed from it. The "last mutant crazies" can be interpreted as people who still hold onto their connection with nature, but their practices are no longer understood or respected by the modern world.
The next lines focus on the irony of the situation, as two frog's eyes continue to stare at the singer, who is a representation of modern society. The infinite wholeness behind the frog's eyes mocks our despair and detachment from the natural world. The calmness that rises within the singer is an acknowledgment of the problem, but also an acceptance of the situation. The chorus speaks of waking up while still holding hands, as the crazy days pass one after the other. The hope that something good will come out of this chaos is futile, and the future seems uncertain.
The last lines can be seen as an invitation to reconnect with nature, to become one with the frog's eyes and lose ourselves in its simplicity. The detachment from right and wrong, and the understanding of what truly matters, is attainable through mindfulness, and a reconnection with nature. This song is a reminder that the natural world holds an essential part of us, and it's our responsibility to nurture it.

Dai fusti grigi
From the gray trunks
Della foresta di cemento
Of the cement forest
Salgono le urla sconnesse
Rise disconnected screams
Dei riti degli ultimi pazzi mutanti
From the rites of the last crazy mutants
Due occhi di rana
Two frog eyes
Continuano a fissarmi ironici
Continuously ironic stares at me
Dietro di loro l'infinito
Behind them, the infinity
Non possono che ridere
They can only laugh
Delle nostre disperazioni
At our desperations
Una calma irreale che sale dentro
An unreal calm that rises inside
Ci svegliamo tenendoci ancora le mani
We wake up still holding hands
Questi giorni pazzi passano uno dietro l'altro
These crazy days pass one after another
Forse un giorno resterà qualcosa
Perhaps one day there will be something left
Dei nostri affanni.
Of our struggles.
Forse allora saremo nel corpo della rana
Maybe then we'll be in the body of the frog
Senza chiederci più il senso
Without asking ourselves more the meaning
Del giusto e dell'errore
Of right and wrong
