Vivere
Lo Stato Sociale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voglio vivere senza mai cercare di essere perfetto
E non pensare tanto, che poi come noi non pensare affatto
Voglio vivere, voglio credere alle favole e sbagliare tutto
E non obbedire mai, quante volte hai detto sì dicendo no a te stesso?
Eh, eh, eh-eh
Eh, eh, eh
Nessuna religione, nessun compromesso
Nessun pudore, nessun problema col sesso
Nessuna voglia di vincere, nessun domani
Niente come adesso oh, niente come adesso
Voglio vivere spendendo poco e regalando tutto
Prendere a schiaffi chi mi chiama genio
Baciare in bocca chi mi dice brutto
Voglio vivere, fare tardi, consumarne non andare a letto
E non obbedire mai, quante volte hai detto sì dicendo no a te stesso?
Eh, eh, eh-eh
Eh, eh, eh
Nessuna religione, nessun compromesso
Nessun pudore, nessun problema col sesso
Nessuna voglia di vincere, nessun domani
Niente come adesso oh
Voglio vivere (eh, eh, eh-eh)
Voglio vivere (eh, eh, eh-eh)
Voglio vivere (eh, eh, eh-eh)
Voglio vivere (eh, eh, eh-eh)
Eh, eh, eh-eh
Eh, eh, eh-eh
Eh, eh, eh-eh
Eh, eh, eh-eh
The lyrics of "Vivere" by Lo Stato Sociale resonate with a call for a liberating and uncomplicated approach to life. The singer expresses a desire to live authentically and without the constant pursuit of perfection. This sentiment is underscored by the acknowledgment that overthinking can be detrimental, as it often leads to a paralysis of choice. The desire to embrace life, make mistakes, and believe in fairy tales manifests a longing for innocence in a complex world. This perspective rejects societal expectations that often compel individuals to conform or suppress their genuine selves. Instead, the singer encourages a mindset that emphasizes authenticity and personal fulfillment over external validation.
The refrain highlights the rejection of constraints, both in terms of moral and social obligations. The lines about lacking religion or compromise signify a rebellion against structured ideologies that may restrict personal freedom. Additionally, the absence of shame regarding sexuality reflects a progressive attitude toward intimate relationships, suggesting that individuals should embrace their desires without fear or guilt. The refusal to conform to societal pressures to achieve or plan for the future—"Nessuna voglia di vincere, nessun domani" (No desire to win, no tomorrow)—underscores a desire to be present in the moment. Here, "nothing like now" serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of seizing the present, rather than constantly striving for unattainable goals or worrying about what lies ahead.
The lyrics also touch on themes of generosity and the value of human connection. The line about wanting to live a life that involves "spending little and giving everything" suggests a prioritization of experiences and relationships over material wealth. This attitude indicates a deeper philosophical stance where the joy derived from nurturing connections with others is far more valuable than financial gain. Furthermore, the defiance against those who impose labels, such as calling someone a genius or ugly, speaks to the individuality of one's worth and the rejection of societal hierarchy based on superficial judgments. The call for love and acceptance, irrespective of societal standards, reflects a deep yearning for authenticity in relationships and an emotional rejection of judgment.
Ultimately, the repeated insistence on the desire to "vivere" encapsulates a manifesto for life driven by spontaneity, joy, and freedom. Each phrase echoes a longing to embrace life’s richness, where the thrill of living is found in moments of vulnerability and authenticity. The vibrant, carefree tone encapsulated in the repeated exclamations of "Eh, eh, eh-eh" adds a celebratory quality to the exploration of these themes. In light of these reflections, the song not only critiques societal norms but also inspires listeners to seek their own truths and create lives filled with genuine experiences, free from the shackles of baggage that often accompany the pursuit of perfection.
