Da A Ad A
Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sfreccia la mia smania di evasione
Non prima di aver messo in discussione
Il senso generale delle cose
I punti di A ed A sono distanti
Da un lato solamente dall'altro confinanti
È un imprevedibile variabile casuale
Da A ad A sono costretto ad oscillare
Da A ad A bisogna ripartire
Per strade secondarie e tortuose
E scopro che la fine è sempre l'inizio
Dal luogo lampeggiante di un conflitto
Nel quale il vincitore è lo sconfitto
Si scambiano di norma vizio e sfizio
I punti da A ed A sono costanti
Nate da contrasto e per questo convergenti
Ma un incalcolato improvvisare
Da A ad A mi spinge sempre a ritornare
Da A ad A come un immobile oscillare
Da A ad A precipitarsi a risalire
Da A ad A pronti a ricadere
Da A ad A
Loquace è il taciturno e vivo il morto
E mi permetto l'intimo conforto
Di trasformare
Praticare la falsa disciplina
Estrarre dal veleno medicina
L'estrazione da A ad A
Il veleno in medicina
Chi produce dal potassio tutti noi
Il pane quotidiano è medicina
Di trasformare che sia poeta o meno
Il veleno in medicina
L'uguale rende vario e minuscolo l'enorme
Trasformabile
Di trarre dal veleno medicina
Da veleno medicina
Da A ad A finiti a ritornare
Da A ad A certi di sbagliare
Pronti a rimandare
Da A ad A dobbiamo ripartire
Da A ad A non si può evitare
(Grazie a Carlo per questo testo)
The lyrics of Morgan's "Da A Ad A" speak of a desire for escape and a questioning of the general sense of things. The song is filled with a sense of movement, from the winding and secondary roads mentioned in the opening lines to the oscillation between the points of A and A that is described throughout the rest of the song. The singer seems to be searching for something, but is continually brought back to where they began.
The repeated reference to A and A emphasizes the cyclical nature of the singer's journey. The points are initially described as distant and unpredictable, but also convergent, suggesting that there is a sense of unity in the movement experienced by the singer. However, the constant return to these points reinforces the idea that the journey is ultimately circular, with no definitive resolution.
The song also touches on themes of transformation, as the singer seeks to extract medicine from poison and practice "false discipline." The lyrics suggest that there is value in the struggle and in the process of transformation, even if it doesn't necessarily lead to a clear solution or escape.
Overall, "Da A Ad A" is a complex and introspective song that speaks to the human desire to escape and transform, but also suggests that these desires may be ultimately futile or cyclical.

@Erdarkos Per quanto riguarda i tre menzionati, lui prende spunti, poi stanno su altri livelli (oltre che su altri generi). Per quanto riguarda i testi io trovo siano molto belli. Ci sono molti giochi di parole e il concetto Da A ad A (pronunciato anche Dada) sia come Eterno Ritorno che come spirito di fanciullo (Nietzsche) rapportato all'arte Dadaista e alla sua vita è molto interessante. Poi ripeto non ti voglio convincere che Morgan è un grande e non deve piacerti per forza.
