In May-June 2002 the band play in many squats, also outside Venice. Talco present the newest song "L'Odore Della Morte", against war on Iraq and America's foreign politics in Irak, Cile, Latin America, ecc.
October 2002: friendship between Talco and comrades of C.P.O. Gramigna (Padua) begins. Gramigna is a squat in Padua, always in front line and socially pawned: big bands (like Senza Sicura) have their roots there. In that night Talco's show featured "Sessant'Anni", new track on Democrazia Cristiana, the italian party that ruled Italy until not so long ago. Together with C.P.O. Gramigna the band played in many other fantastic gigs (the band played with Malasuerte, punk-rock band from C.P.A. Firenze Sud; in Piazza dei Signori, Padua, for the Liberation Day from nazi scum, 25 april and more...). Two more great and unforgettable shows: the ones during a strike against Berlusconi's government. On both occasions Talco played in the middle of the crowd on a camion, followed by a moving procession.
Grown un in Marghera, city famous for pollution and death caused by Petrolchimico industries, Talco are in first line to rise against the situation: a gig in Marghera's square, with lots of people in memory of the dead workers of "Petrolchimico", remind their political and social pawn.
In September 2003 live shows are interrupted in order to record the first studio disc: 10 higly-politic songs. "Signor Presidente", against Berlusconi and, mostly, antifascist, is presented at the C.S.O.A. Zona Bandita (Venice) together with Marones, comrades from Perugia.
October 2004: the first cd "Tutti assolti" is out, produce by Kob Records and Black Butcher Records.
Talco are a strightly antifascist and against racism ska-punk band. They believe in music independence and in the message it has to send against every kind of discriminations.
Onda immobile
Talco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A maledire rotte apatiche e crociate
Mai decise ad affondar
Né ad arrossir
Tra una miseria albina e figli naufraghi
Storie di lidi oscuri senza cenno di sparire
E un organico nostalgico tuttora da smaltire
Bianca baleni sempre uguale e immobile
L'onda continua e ferma
Del fanculo religioso
Di uno sgonfio pachiderma
L'onda voltagabbana
Di un Giuda in piena che
Rapace di un futuro
Bacia revisioni e fasti
Di un santone paraculo
Un ammutinato tempo avvisa che
Silenziosa pallida e violenta
Sale l'onda immobile
E zattere narcise sopra un nodulo lontano
Tra bende senza vento in poppa
A disquisire d'esclusività
Sognano già
L'onda nefasta che ancor li separerà
L'onda della mia gente
Frana fra le scorie di una gara
A chi è più resistente
Li troverai a sedere qua
Per l'eternità
Un ammutinato tempo avvisa che
Silenziosa pallida e violenta
Sale l'onda immobile
The lyrics to Talco's song "Onda immobile" evoke a sense of hopelessness and despair, as the singer describes being stuck in a perpetual cycle of misery and decay. The first verse paints a picture of broken roads and lost children, amidst a sea of white poverty. The second verse describes the longing for an unchanged and unmoving wave to wipe everything away, while the third details the futility of trying to escape from this stagnant existence. The chorus laments the fact that the singer's people will be stuck in this forever, while the final verse speaks of the inevitability of a doomed future.
The repeated theme of an unmoving and unchanging wave represents the desire for something to come along and disrupt this stagnant existence, but also the fear of what might come from such a disruption. The vivid imagery of broken roads and lost children underscores the sense of hopelessness, while the various references to religion and politics suggest a frustration with larger systemic issues. The final line, "Silenziosa pallida e violenta, sale l'onda immobile" ("Silent, pale, and violent, the unmoving wave rises") encapsulates the sense of dread that pervades the entire song.
