Sleipnir il progresso
Malnatt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
quattro zampe sembran'otto, cavalli a vapore, motore
smog il nuovo ossigeno, benzina il nostro sangue
Sleipnir cavallo solare, Sleipnir rosa dei venti.
Il cemento ha coperto la terra e le strade sono fatte di luce,
non c'è un vicolo buio in città, non c'è luogo dove appartarsi.
La notte è il nuovo giorno
E la luna è soltanto un ricordo
l'Eternit® ci dà l'eternità
Sleipnir, cavallo solare
Sleipnir, rosa dei venti
Guardo in alto e non vedo stelle:
vedo rosso, verde, arancione,
sul tuo dorso sono in arcione
la mia sella è elettricità,
sei il progresso che avanza al galoppo
ed i campi sono magnetici
Sleipnir pannello solare, Sleipnir pala dei venti.
The lyrics of Malnatt's song "Sleipnir il progresso" speak of progress and human advancement through the metaphor of a mythical creature, Sleipnir. Sleipnir is a legendary eight-legged horse in Norse mythology, ridden by Odin. In this song, Sleipnir represents the modern technologies and machines that have replaced nature and traditional ways of life. The lyrics start with a call to celebrate the "movement" or progress achieved through the use of machines, with the claim that "the machine is the divinity". Sleipnir is then invoked as a symbol of this progress and power, with its four legs appearing as eight, and being compared to horses powered by steam and gasoline. The smog and pollution caused by industrialization are described as the "new oxygen", and the people are said to have gasoline instead of blood in their veins. Sleipnir is called the "solar horse" and the "rose of the winds", and is presented as a source of energy and vitality in this new world.
The second stanza describes the complete takeover of nature by human technology. The roads are made of light, and there are no dark alleys or hidden places left in the city. The night has replaced the day, and the moon is a distant memory. The use of the trademark name "Eternit®" implies the unstoppable dominance of this new way of life, a future that is eternal and unchanging. The chorus repeats the praises of Sleipnir, as the singer rides on its back and sees only the colors of machines - red, green, and orange. The saddle is made of electricity, and the fields below are magnetic. Sleipnir is described as both a solar panel and a wind turbine, suggesting the reliance on renewable energy sources in this future world.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sleipnir il progresso" present a vision of progress and modernity that comes at the cost of nature and a more traditional way of life. Sleipnir is a symbol of this progress, with its many legs representing the various technologies and machines that drive this new world. The song suggests a warning of sorts against complete industrialization and loss of nature as we know it, urging listeners to consider the impact of modern technology on the environment and society.
