Al macello
No Relax Lyrics

The lyrics to No Relax's song "Al macello" (To the Slaughterhouse) describe the cruel reality of the meat industry, specifically the transportation and slaughter of animals. The song starts with a description of a cattle shipment coming from the east without mercy, with the animals already marked for death or already dead, crushed and suffocated by the conditions of their trip. The second verse questions whether these animals are just massed products or heroes, suffering for our benefit, and how could people finance, approve, and consume such a macabre and cruel ritual. The chorus reiterates the questions, urging people to not be accomplices to slaughterers and showing that there's no other choice for these animals than to end up in a slaughterhouse and end as first-choice food for children.

The lyrics are powerful and straightforward, condemning the meat industry for its inhumane practices and asking listeners to question their role in it as consumers. The song's title, "Al macello," is a direct reference to the slaughterhouse, the place where these animals are turned into meat, and the lyrics vividly describe how cruel and harsh the conditions and methods are. The song is a call to action for people to be more conscious about what they eat and the impact it has on the environment and animals.
