The music has always been the center of gravity in the life of the Levant. "I started singing as a child," says the same Sun, "like all children improvised melodies and words with their eyes to the sky ... With the same eyes pointed toward the sky, years later I found it in the music my salvation, my outlet, my diary, my freedom. "
Around to eleven Levante began writing the first word, inspired by simple melodies that could compose with the guitar. "It was really a diary for me, music and sometimes I let a few trusted family member to read it," so goes the rocker Catania, "And that's how they found me at home, that passion that perhaps he was looking for a way to present itself to the public. " It was Aunt Tiziana, hit by a lot of enthusiasm, to bring to the pounding grandson of the first test.
But in 2001, from the beloved Sicilian sky Levante had to move down to Turin, to be honest not so fragrant orange blossoms and azure as the sky of Sicily, but certainly very challenging from a musical standpoint. In Turin in fact the teenager Levante has grown musically and knew his traveling companions ... The ephemeris.
For Levante Ephemeris are the landmark musical. A little 'as the North Star for the sailors. On stage or in the recording studio with them behind Levante know that you always have the right "shot" in his performances. But the ephemeris are a lot more. In the best tradition of rock share her passion, enthusiasm, laughter, miles and sandwiches ...
Capitale mio Capitale
Levante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A quanta gente vorrò mai piacere?
Cerco piacere nel mio potere
La smetterò di masturbare
L'ego che mi tiene ormai in catene
Per un piacere impopolare
A quale costo è in vendita
Mi piaccio come star del web
In mezzo ai numeri del bluff
Miseria, che quaquara- quando parlo
Non mi accorgo che non dico niente che non torni in tasca
Ma che guerra in questa testa
Che quaquara- quando dico
"Only good vibes, meu amigo"
Appare e scompare
La presenza della mia morale
Balla la danza del capitale
Si inerpica sul trend attuale
Quale causa oggi vorrò sposare
Anche se non ne so parlare
In quale posto termina la recita?
Tolgo la maschera, giù la maschera
Mi piaccio come star del web
In mezzo ai numeri del bluff
Miseria, che quaquara- quando parlo
Non mi accorgo che non dico niente che non torni in tasca
Ma che guerra in questa testa
Che quaquara- quando dico
"Only good vibes, meu amigo"
Del femminismo ho già parlato
Crisi climatica a domani
Dei tuoi diritti non so niente
Ma mi esprimo facilmente per sembrare un po' più umano
Sono devota al Dio denaro
Lo condivido con la gente
(E tiri-riri-tiri-riri-tiri-riri-rira)
Mi piaccio come star del web
In mezzo ai numeri del bluff
Miseria, che quaquara- quando parlo
Non mi accorgo che non dico niente che non torni in tasca
Ma che guerra in questa testa
Che quaquara quando dico
"Only good vibes, meu amigo"

The lyrics of Levante's song "Capitale mio Capitale" delve into themes of self-reflection and societal critique, exploring the complexities of individual identity and the influence of capitalism on personal values. The lyrics open with a sense of internal conflict and discomfort, as the singer questions their desire to please others and seeks validation through power and ego. The mention of "masturbating the ego" symbolizes a self-indulgent and ultimately unfulfilling pursuit of status and popularity, highlighting the emptiness of prioritizing external approval over inner contentment.
The lyrics further emphasize the compromises one may make in pursuit of social advancement, questioning the cost of sacrificing one's dignity for the sake of climbing the social ladder. The singer grapples with the pressure to conform to societal expectations and the temptation to prioritize superficial success over personal integrity. The reference to being a "star of the web" and engaging in empty gestures underscores the superficiality of modern interactions and the disconnect between online personas and genuine expression.
The song then shifts to a reflection on moral ambiguity and the pervasive influence of capitalism on personal beliefs and actions. The dance of capital symbolizes the allure and seduction of material wealth, as well as the struggle to reconcile individual values with societal norms. The singer acknowledges their inability to fully grasp important social issues like feminism and climate crisis, highlighting a sense of detachment and superficial engagement with pressing global concerns in favor of appearing more socially conscious.
The repeated refrain of "Mi piaccio come star del web" underscores the facade of social media and the performative nature of online presence, as well as the internal conflict between projecting a positive image and grappling with deeper personal struggles. The lyrics ultimately paint a portrait of a conflicted individual navigating the complexities of identity, societal expectations, and the seductive pull of capitalism, ultimately questioning the authenticity of one's actions and values in a world driven by external validation and material gain.
