Bellezza
Marlene Kuntz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Noi sereni e semplici o cupi ed acidi,
Noi puri e candidi o un po' colpevoli
Per voglie che ardono:

Noi cerchiamo la bellezza ovunque.

E noi compresi e amabili o offesi e succubi
Di demoni e lupi, noi forti ed abili

O spenti all'angolo:

Noi cerchiamo la bellezza ovunque.
E passiamo spesso il tempo così,

Senza utilità (quella che piace a voi)
Senza utilità (perché non serve a noi)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marlene Kuntz's song "Bellezza" explore the human search for beauty. The first few lines describe the different facets of human nature, from being serene and simple to dark and acidic, from being pure and candid to being somewhat guilty due to our burning desires. Despite these differences, the lyrics proclaim that we are all united in our search for beauty, which we seek out wherever we can find it.

The second stanza grapples with the complexities of the human psyche. We are all capable of being both loved and loving, as well as being offended and submissive. We can be strong and skilled, or lost in a corner. Yet again, despite the differences in our personalities, we are all united in our pursuit of beauty. The song suggests that perhaps the search for beauty is one of the few things that truly unite us all.

The final lines of the song introduce a layer of criticism towards society's notion of utility. The singer says that often we spend our time without any apparent usefulness, something that may be frowned upon by others. However, the singer seems to suggest that this time spent in search of beauty is not without its own value, even if it does not conform to society's notion of usefulness. The song ultimately suggests that the pursuit of beauty is something fundamental to our human nature, and that it provides us with a sense of unity and purpose that transcends social conventions.
