Malnatt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
solo due vittime del Tempo
corvi che girano in circolo
macchie in un cielo
senza gloria.
Mutano le piume
al mutar delle stagioni
destinate a rimanere mute
per sempre.
Profeti disarmati in catene
Artigliano feroci la Storia
una guerra persa in partenza:
inutilmente perdono
pazienza.
Il pensiero non esiste
la conoscenza è un'illusione
il cervello è un contenitore
possiamo accumulare
ma non sapere
La coscienza
della non conoscenza:
l'acquiescenza di ogni scienza
a non avere l'onniscienza.
Possiamo trasmettere
dati genetici a più generazioni
ereditare codici comportamentali
emulare o fingere di rifiutarli.
La Storia non serve a evitare gli sbagli
ma a ripeterli e rimandare l'idea della morte.
The lyrics of Malnatt's song Huginn & Muninn are reflective and critical, addressing the concepts of time, memory, consciousness, knowledge, and history. The opening lines speak of thought and memory as two victims of time, defined as crows flying in circles, mere stains in an inglorious sky. The next stanza speaks of the changing of seasons, and how vines knot together with the promise of remaining mute, forever. The following stanzas speak of history and how prophets, who are unarmed and chained, ferociously claw at it. They are fighting a war that is lost before it has even begun. They inevitably lose patience, and it all becomes futile.
The song also explores the limits and uncertainties of knowledge and consciousness. The third stanza states that thought doesn't exist, and knowledge is an illusion. The brain is a container, and we can accumulate things, but we cannot truly know them. The following lines reflect on the consciousness of not knowing everything, and how science agrees to not possess omniscience. The last stanza speaks of the inheritance of genetic data and behavioral codes, and how we can choose to emulate or reject them. The idea of history serving as a warning to avoid mistakes is turned on its head. It becomes a vehicle through which mistakes are repeated, and the concept of death is postponed.
Overall, Malnatt's Huginn & Muninn song is a thought-provoking and critical reflection on common concepts and themes. It urges the listener to question and examine the accepted beliefs and values that make up our society and to consider alternative viewpoints.
