La Cosa
Morgan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ti dico "i'm not like everybody else"!
Io invece "sono come tutti gli altri"
Non restare più di tanto senza dormire!
Non c'è bisogno di impazzire, mi dici:
"sai che molti credono che faccio chi sa che cosa?"
Chissà che cosa? TUTTI VOGLIONO LA STESSA COSA!

Chissà cos'è che desideran tutti

L'ostrica che sa di mare messa al centro del piatto
Dopo il giro in senso orario si va dalla più corrente alla più speciale.
E allora non c'è neanche bisogno del limone per profumare
È gia' perfetto il suo odore naturale, non artefare, non arte-fare.

Che cazzo dici, chissà che cosa? Che tutti vogliono la stessa cosa.
Ma non capisco cosa vuoi dire, giri le parole e la mia testa duole
Io e te vogliamo cose-case diverse
Non è più tempo r'n'r babilonese devo badare alle spese, senza pretese
Ma bisogna evitare di finire banali e riproporsi sempre uguali
Evitare futuro fallimentare - Evitare futuro fallimentare

Ti vedo ti parlo delle ragazze, l'universo femminile
Del mio amore perduto senza il mio volere
E il tentativo di ieri sera che è finito male
Non la credevo una di quelle ecco perchè mi ha dovuto mentire
Senno' rischiava di cadere in un vero amore e non è abituata o ne ha paura

Ma tu perchè mi dici cose che non voglio sapere io la mia donna mica te la vengo a dire
Perchè conservo l'amore come un segreto, m'illudo d'essere amato
Le voglio bene timidamente, non te ne parlo poco o niente.
Tu mi spaventi così tu mi violenti col tuo bellissimo cuore spaccato
Senza pudore o barriere me lo presenti vorrei
Ma non ti posso salvare, vorrei ma non ti posso salvare
Chissà che cosa tutti vogliono la stessa cosa
Chissà che cosa tutti vogliono la stessa cosa

(Grazie a maru per questo testo)

Overall Meaning

The song La Cosa by Morgan is a contemplation of the human condition and of desire itself. The lyrics reflect the confusion and struggle of trying to understand what everyone wants and needs, and how it seems that ultimately, we all want the same thing. The singer pleads with someone who is trying to explain this to him, insisting that he is different from everyone else but ultimately realizing that he is not that unique. He then reflects on how everyone desires the same things, whether it is the taste of an oyster or the desire for love, but how each person experiences these desires uniquely. The singer also talks about the fear and secrecy that can accompany love and how it can be scary to open up and be vulnerable.

The lyrics are full of references to the confusion and contradictions of life. The singer talks about the need for sleep and sanity, and how he is not like everyone else but is, at the same time. He also references the way that taste can differ, but ultimately everyone wants the same thing. The line "Chissà che cosa tutti vogliono la stessa cosa" captures the central theme of the song, which is the idea that although we are all unique individuals, we share fundamental desires and needs.

You and I want different things

Non è più tempo r'n'r babilonese devo badare alle spese, senza pretese
It's not the Babylonian rock 'n' roll era anymore. I have to pay attention to expenses, without any expectations.

Ma bisogna evitare di finire banali e riproporsi sempre uguali
But we must avoid becoming banal and always repeating ourselves

Evitare futuro fallimentare - Evitare futuro fallimentare
Avoid a future of failure - avoid a future of failure

Ti vedo ti parlo delle ragazze, l'universo femminile
I see you, I talk to you about girls, the feminine universe

Del mio amore perduto senza il mio volere
Of my lost love without my consent

E il tentativo di ieri sera che è finito male
And the attempt I made last night that went wrong

Non la credevo una di quelle ecco perchè mi ha dovuto mentire
I didn't think she was like the others, that's why she had to lie to me

Senno' rischiava di cadere in un vero amore e non è abituata o ne ha paura
Otherwise, she risked falling in true love and she's not used to it or afraid of it.

Ma tu perchè mi dici cose che non voglio sapere io la mia donna
But why do you tell me things I don't want to know about my woman

Mica te la vengo a dire
I'm not coming to tell you about it

Perchè conservo l'amore come un segreto, m'illudo d'essere amato
Because I keep my love as a secret, I delude myself into thinking that I'm loved

Le voglio bene timidamente, non te ne parlo poco o niente.
I love her timidly, I don't talk to you about it a lot or a little.

Tu mi spaventi così tu mi violenti col tuo bellissimo cuore spaccato
You scare me so much; you assault me with your beautiful broken heart.

Senza pudore o barriere me lo presenti vorrei
Without shame or barriers, I would like you to introduce me to it

Ma non ti posso salvare, vorrei ma non ti posso salvare
But I can't save you, I want to, but I can't save you

Chissà che cosa tutti vogliono la stessa cosa
Who knows what everyone wants, they all want the same thing
