Odio
Stinky Rats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
bambini sciupati con occhi sbarrati
uomini uomini vi odio tutti
uomini uomini vi odio tutti
gente morta per la strada
brandelli di carne tutti intorno a me
morte dal cielo morte dalla terra
uomini uomini vi odio tutti
The Stinky Rats song "Odio" introduces us to a chilling reality of bloodshed and chaos. The opening line, "Laghi di sangue tutti intorno a me" or "Lakes of blood all around me," implies that the scene is post-apocalyptic or wartime. The next line, "bambini sciupati con occhi sbarrati" or "spoiled children with wide eyes," suggests the innocence that has been robbed from young victims. The rest of the lyrics describe the destruction and carnage in graphic detail, including dead bodies on the street and flesh torn apart.
The song's title "Odio" means "hate" in Italian, and the repeated phrase "uomini uomini vi odio tutti" or "I hate you all men" emphasizes this strong emotion. The reason for this hatred is left open to interpretation. Perhaps it is directed towards those who caused this devastation, or towards humanity as a whole for allowing such atrocities to occur. Regardless of its source, the anger and disgust expressed in the lyrics are palpable.
