Lorda Nera
Malnatt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La foresta sussurra il mio nome
Non ha niente di meglio da fare
Siedo sul mio trono d'ossa
Ossa di chi non lo so
Forse sono dei nemici
Ma di nemici io non ne ho

Me li dovrò far prestare
O al massimo li inventerò
Il cielo notturno e maestoso
Ruba ore al mio riposo
Contemplo le stelle in silenzio
Illuso che esse contemplino me

Urlerò a dio la mia domanda
Ma l'unica risposta che avrò
Sarà l'eco della mia voce
Se il fonico ha messo il delay
Se fosse possibile
Una morale superiore
Se fosse plausibile
L'intrattenimento interiore
Il cielo notturno e maestoso
Ruba ore al mio riposo




Contemplo le stelle in silenzio
Illuso che esse contemplino me

Overall Meaning

The song "Lorda Nera" by Malnatt speaks of a person who sits on a throne of bones in a forest, where the only thing that seems to matter is the whispering of the forest which calls out their name. The person claims they don't have any enemies, but somehow they have the bones of unknowns on which they sit. They question the existence of a superior moral code, and wonder if internal entertainment is even plausible. They watch the majestic and silent stars and wonder if they watch back. They even plead to God for answers, but they only receive the echo of their own voice.


The lyrics of this song are cryptic yet intriguing, as they invite the listener to explore different themes such as the transience of life, the futility of material possessions, the search for meaning, and the gap between reality and illusion. The forest and the stars are recurring motifs in literature, as they represent nature, death, the sublime, and the unknown. Therefore, the forest calling out the person's name can be interpreted as a sort of homecoming or confrontation with destiny, while the stars can be seen as symbols of hope, aspiration, and wonder. The person sitting on the throne of bones can be perceived as a metaphor for power, yet their lack of enemies questions the purpose of such power, as they seem to only contemplate their own existence in vain.


Overall, "Lorda Nera" is a song that tackles existential issues through poetic and evocative language, inviting the listener to reflect on their own purpose and identity in a vast and mysterious universe.
