Bambole
Negrita Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mentre le ideologie si estinguono
E le coscienze si disperdono
Insieme ai muri crollano
Le verità di comodo
I monumenti a cosa servono?
La vera storia non la insegnano
Non devo chiedere
Devo far da me

La verità sta dentro a un nylon
Dimenticata in qualche oceano
Sotto la buccia debole
Di 10.000 regole

Ti capisco
Quando dici che
Rivorresti
Le tue bambole

E mi hanno sempre fatto credere (che)
Nell'incertezza è meglio prendere
Ma se io prendo chi è che dà?
Se io prendo chi è che dà?
Ne ho visti troppi qui di oracoli
E troppe corti dei miracoli
Io non vi posso credere
Io non vi voglio credere

Ti capisco
Quando dici che
Rivuoi indietro
Le tue bambole

Good times, bad times
Good times, bad times

Ti capisco
Quando dici che
Rivorresti
Le tue bambole
Ora ha senso
Quando pensi che

Rivuoi indietro
Le tue bambole

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Negrita's "Bambole" speak about the decline of ideologies and the dispersal of consciousness. The crumbling walls and convenient truths are falling along with the ideologies, and the monuments are becoming useless. The singer contemplates the purpose of the statues that represent a history that is not taught or known. In the midst of all this, the singer realizes that he doesn't need to ask anyone for the truth; the truth lies within him. The truth is lost, forgotten in some ocean in a nylon bag, hidden under a weak shell of 10,000 rules.

The singer sings about understanding the desire to regain one's dolls, a childhood treasure. He understands that people are taught to take risks in uncertain times, but questions who will be held responsible if things go wrong. He has seen too many oracles and courts of miracle workers and can't believe in them.

The chorus speaks about understanding the desire to reclaim one's childhood treasures, one's dolls. The singer says that it makes sense to want them back now that he thinks about it. The song is about wanting to return to a time when things were simpler and the truth was more evident.
