Tutti Fenomeni
Piero Pelù Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
la mia testa gira
tra luci sfuggenti di mostri alla fragola...
i gran sorrisi e coltelli nelle spalle
siamo tutti fari
e stelle a doppie punte, con vite mimetiche...
tutti fenomeni,
tutti fenomeni...
La festa cresce il mondo è più distante,
tutto gira intorno a te
se sei bravo cliente e cresci coi numeri.
Il genere umano è passato
dalla lotta alla lotteria pian piano
nemmeno se ne accorge che vive di
favole favole,
parabole parabole...
Tutti fenomeni,
tutti fenomeni
giganti e piedi fragili...
tutti fenomeni,
tutti fenomeni
vincenti e intoccabili...
tutti fenomeni,
tutti fenomeni
pronti a tornare vergini...
tutti fenomeni,
tutti fenomeni...
Artisti e presidenti,
santi e stelle tv,
elimina i perdenti
e per brillare brucerai.
Tutti fenomeni,
tutti fenomeni
giganti e piedi fragili
tutti fenomeni,
tutti fenomeni
pronti a tornare vergini.
Stop.
The first verse of Piero Pelù's "Tutti Fenomeni" paints a vivid picture of a festive atmosphere in which the singer finds himself. He is surrounded by flashing lights and strange characters, described as "mostri alla fragola" (strawberry monsters). Despite the excitement of the scene, the singer's head is spinning, suggesting that he is overwhelmed by everything happening around him. The second verse introduces a note of danger with the phrase "coltelli nelle spalle" (knives in the back) juxtaposed with "gran sorrisi" (big smiles). The line "siamo tutti fari e stelle a doppie punte" (We are all lights and double-pointed stars) reinforces the sense that everyone in the scene is putting on a show, but there may be hidden motives behind the spectacle.
The chorus of the song serves as a refrain, repeating the phrase "tutti fenomeni" (everyone's a phenomenon) three times. The repetition emphasizes the overarching theme of the song, which is that everyone in the world is putting on a facade and trying to be something they're not. The verses reinforce this idea by suggesting that society has shifted from a world in which people fought for survival to one in which people are preoccupied with appearances and numbers. Throughout the song, there is a sense of superficiality and a lack of authenticity.
Overall, "Tutti Fenomeni" is a commentary on modern society and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. The festive atmosphere in which the singer finds himself represents a microcosm of the larger world, where people are constantly seeking attention and approval. While the song's message may be somewhat cynical, it is also a call for people to be true to themselves rather than trying to live up to unrealistic standards.

C'è festa intorno e io ci son davanti,
la mia testa gira
tra luci sfuggenti di mostri alla fragola...
There's a party going on and I'm right in front of it,
my head is spinning
among elusive lights of strawberry monsters...
i gran sorrisi e coltelli nelle spalle
siamo tutti fari
e stelle a doppie punte, con vite mimetiche...
big smiles and knives in our backs,
we are all lighthouses
and double pointed stars, with mimetic lives...
Tutti, tutti,
tutti fenomeni,
tutti fenomeni...
Everyone, everyone,
everyone's a phenomenon,
everyone's a phenomenon...

The party grows, the world is more distant,
everything revolves around you

from struggle to lottery, little by little,
not even realizing that it lives on
fables fables,
parables parables...
Tutti fenomeni,
tutti fenomeni
giganti e piedi fragili...
Everyone's a phenomenon,
everyone's a phenomenon
giants with fragile feet...

everyone's a phenomenon
ready to revert back to purity...

everyone's a phenomenon
ready to revert back to purity.
