Tot Torna a Començar
Mishima Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quan d'un cel blau del nord somriguin
Núvols blancs i bufi el vent,
I els teus pulmons s'inflin com veles,
I el sol t'escupi raigs al front.

Quan els pit-rojos i les caderneres,
Els gaigs, les garces i els mussols
Refilin a l'uníson una melodia
Que tens al cor, potser comencis
A sospitar.

(I tothom sap que la sospita és la primera forma de la fè)

Quan recuperis tots els fragments
D'aquest naufragi que és la memòria,
D'aquests parracs ja no en direm corbates,
D'aquesta espelma ja no en direm llum.

Quan de la fosca nit salvatge
L'udol dels llops, convocant la lluna,
Recorri en calfreds els petits cossos
Dels vostres fills, és que tot
Torna a començar.

O potser tu mai has tingut un amic imaginari.




O potser tu mai has demanat res al teu àngel de la guarda.
O potser tu mai t'has sentit fill d'un pare desconegut.

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics of Mishima's song Tot Torna a Començar, he paints a vivid image of nature and the elements at play. He begins with a clear blue Northern sky, where white clouds move with the wind, and the sun shines fiercely on the face, causing the lungs to inflate like sails. The imagery of nature continues as he describes the peaceful chirping of birds and crickets, and the melody that may arise from within the heart when the environment around is in harmony.


The lyrics take a turn towards the idea of the first form of faith which is suspicion. It suggests how suspicion plays an essential role in making one realize the truth, leading to an awakening of some kind. The song then talks about the process of recovering fragments of memory, and how things that were once called ties are now named scrap pieces, and light that was once called a candle is now named no more than a flame. This section points at the realization that memories cause one to reconsider and reimagine interpretations of things.


The last line of the song "everything starts again" suggests the cyclical nature of everything, and how things may have progressed in various ways, yet the past events set the ground for what follows. The last verse of the song highlights the feeling of being alone in the world or not having an imagined friend, or never having a conversation with one's guardian angel or knowing who the father is. These ideas point at the common human experience of feeling isolated or disconnected from the world.

Gran homenaje a Ordet que da todo el sentido a esta letra sencilla y contundente. Ademas eas cuerdas a lo Velvet underground ya es para que pongamos este video en el plano de las delicatesen de la musica

Rebuild of Eva is shit watch the original instead

travelerrayuela Ostia he escuchado The Velvet Underground entero varias veces y no me había percatado aún de las similitudes.

Josep Maria Infantes

Brillant!
