Non Ducor Duco
Spite Extreme Wing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Marcio da solo
Perchรฉ d'altro uomo passi
Non seguo,
Ma guardo lontano:
Oltre il muro che
รˆ il falso limite del vero.
Attraggo corpi le cui menti
Son sole nel liberalismo mero.
Come me: individui assoluti
Che gridano: "Vincere!"
Uniamoci! Sognatori
Dal superbo spirito altero.
Avanziamo! Noi:
Orgogli uniti dal filo spinato!

Legione dove ogniun
Di sรจ รจ il piรน fiero!
"NON DVCOR, DVCO!"
Griderร  il condottiero,
Che non รจ uno e non รจ piรน solo!

Ora, uniti, l'ordine diventa:
"Avanti di vada!"
Spiriti arditi coesi dal miracolo
D'un sogno leso.
Capitano รจ
Chi agisce insieme col pensiero.
Combattere! Il vento s'รจ alzato,
Lo scontro รจ iniziato!

Legione dove ogniun
Tien alto il ferro!
"NON DVCOR, DVCO!"
Grideran i condottieri:
"Eia, carne del Carnaro, Alalร !"

Sfondate
I limiti del debole nell'osare!
Celebrata รจ la cerimonia
Solenne della "Santa Entrata".
"Hic manebimus optime", il motto
Fa paura a chi รจ stato fermo.
Nรฉ piรน fedele sarร  l'uomo forte
Prima incatenato.

Legion dove ogniun
Insorge e risorge.
"NON DVCOR, DVCO!"
Grideran i condottieri:
"Morir ma non rinunziare!"

"Tutto fu ambito
E tutto fu tentato.
Ah perchรฉ non รจ infinito
Come il desiderio, il potere
Umano?"

Cosรฌ รจ finito
Il sogno fiumano.
"NON DVCOR, DVCO!"
Gridiamo ancora Noi,
Per ricordare e per agire!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Spite Extreme Wing's song "Non Ducor Duco" are about the power of the individual to rise above societal constraints and pursue their own dreams and ideals. The singer, Marcio, states that he does not follow the path of others but instead looks beyond the walls that society has placed around him. He attracts like-minded individuals who are similarly absolute in their beliefs and ambitious in their pursuits, and they unite behind the cry of "Vincere!" to march forward with "pride united by barbed wire."


The group sees themselves as a legion of individuals who are each the most proud of themselves but are still willing to come together under a common cause. They rally around the cry of "Non Ducor Duco" ("I am not led, I lead") and follow a leader who is not solely one person but rather the spirit of the group. Together, they break through the limits imposed by the weak and celebrate their victory with the "Holy Entry" that makes those who were once chained more faithful than the established strong. However, the dream of this legion is finite, and the song ends with a call to both remember and act.


Overall, the lyrics of "Non Ducor Duco" champion the power of the individual to rise above the limits of society and pursue their own dreams and ideals while still standing with others for a common cause. The song is a tribute to the "enterprise of Fiume" and its leader Gabriele D'Annunzio, who sought to establish an independent state in the city of Fiume during the tumultuous post-World War I period.

Such an incredible album, one of my absolute favorites. Would love to own a physical copy of this but even used copies are rare and they go for a lot. I hope one day it will get a repress.
