ecce homo
Magazine du Kakao Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vivo senza troppa passione nel fare
E senza troppo accanimento nel disfare
Lo chiedo a te creativo fanciullo
A te inquisitore ponzio pilato
Qual è la differenza di godere di buona salute o sentirsi malato

Ecce homo
Dimmi le tue pene
Ecce homo

Mio spontaneo ascolto polifonico
Ti vorrei salutare ogni momento
Con tanta passione ed energia
Così dall'altra parte del mondo
Un uomo semplice e forte possa riconoscere questo saluto
Ecce homo

Dimmi le tue pene
Ecce homo

Gioire godere star bene
Suggeriscimi le regole
Donami il rituale
Dammi le immagini
Donami la verità, la verità





Dimmi le tue pene
Ecce homo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Magazine du Kakao's song "Ecce Homo" express a sense of detachment and lack of passion in life. The singer describes their approach to both creating and destroying things as without passion, almost indifferent. They then pose a question to two different entities - a creative child and the inquisitor Pontius Pilate - about the difference between enjoying good health and suffering from illness. The repeated phrase "Ecce Homo" (meaning "Behold the Man" in Latin) serves as a sort of refrain or mantra throughout the song.


The singer then asks the listener to share their struggles and pains, as if seeking a way to connect with others and feel something more deeply. They express a desire to greet everyone they meet with passion and energy, so that even a simple and strong person on the other side of the world can recognize and feel the power of their greeting. The refrain of "Ecce Homo" takes on a more urgent tone in the second half of the song, almost like a plea for connection and understanding.


Overall, the lyrics of "Ecce Homo" seem to explore the difficulty of finding meaning and connection in a world that can feel indifferent and detached. The repeated refrain of the title phrase adds to this sense of searching and yearning for something more.
