Bambola Vivente
Platypus Egg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cammina a testa alta
sii' una maledetta
viziosa ma sempre carina
il mondo di scintillio, di brutalita'
rompi il suo ego nella terra
ti metti il tuo sguardo minaccioso (Ha!)
guarda tutte le donne belle
non possono scappare
solo una sara' la vincitrice
tutto quello che vuoi essere
ancheggia come una bella
con gli occhi di una maledetta
le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di
malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso
io volevo essere la eleta
invece sono diventata
una donna perfida
mi vesto in abito da sera
io non voglio essere
una delle donne perfide
non sono la vincitrice
voglio gridare
le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di
malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso
io non voglio essere
una delle donne perfide
non sono la vincitrice
voglio gridare
The lyrics of Platypus Egg's song "Bambola Vivente" depict a woman who is encouraged to embrace her beauty and exude confidence. She is instructed to anchor herself like a beautiful creature, walking with her head held high. The lyrics emphasize the need for her to be both alluring and cute, embodying a paradoxical combination of vices and charm.
The song alludes to a world filled with both glamour and brutality, where the woman is urged to break down the egos of those around her. She is advised to adopt a menacing gaze and dress in elegant attire, presenting herself as a formidable force. The lyrics convey a sense of empowerment as the woman is encouraged to assert herself and resist being overwhelmed by the superficial aspects of this world.
The chorus emphasizes the competitive nature among women. Although many beautiful women exist, only one can be the winner - presumably in some undefined competition. The lyrics suggest that the woman should strive to become everything she desires, implying that she should use her beauty and allure to her advantage and attain success.
However, there is a subtle shift in attitude in the second paragraph. The woman expresses a desire to not be one of the deceitful women who compete against each other. She rejects the notion of being a winner and instead wants to shout out and express her own individuality. The lyrics highlight a sense of frustration or disillusionment, indicating a longing to break free from the expectations imposed on her.
The final lines of the lyrics reiterate the earlier descriptions of the woman's lips, eyes, and skin, emphasizing their alluring qualities. She reaffirms her reluctance to conform to the archetype of the deceptive woman. Instead, she embraces her desire to be authentic and urges herself to break away from the competition. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for individuality and self-expression, rejecting the pressure to conform to societal ideals of beauty and success.
