Ogni Cosa È Bella
The Vad Vuc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Sotto una guerra e sotto a un Cristo
Sotto un tangibile ed ambiguo cielo nero
Come la placenta
Fu sua madre cullandolo in braccio
Su una sedia da giardino
A dire: "Padre, ma quanta fantasia e bellezza
Spegne la prudenza"
Fra il rumore del lago e del treno
Padre Leone con un fiato divino
Annunciò il nome di Celestino
Sotto il cielo impresso sulla volta
Ogni battito delle ciglia
Di quel miracolo della vita
Era stupore e meraviglia
Ogni cosa è bella
S'era fatto adulto assieme a Lucia
Per amore lei gli illuminò il cielo
Dentro la vastità celeste dei suoi occhi
Ipovedenti
Ma fu una maga dalle labbra ciliegia
Ad incantarlo con il paradosso
Di un tradimento consumato dentro a un letto Matrimoniale
Nella chiesa vestita a festa
Fra l'odore d'incenso e Chanel
Tutti pregarono che fosse vero
Che il loro amore fosse sincero
Sotto il cielo impresso sulla volta
Lui le giurò fedeltà infinita
E la fece piangere pure nel giorno
Più bello della sua vita
Ogni cosa bella ha una sua fine
Era invecchiato in cattività
Respirando aria condizionata
Come la libertà dei pappagalli dentro ai letti
Non voleranno mai
Fu un pittore di pochi pennelli
Ad illustrargli da dentro la stanza
Che ogni colore di questo mondo nel profondo
Diventa nero
Nella cappella dell'ospedale
Fra il tremore di gambe e candele
Prese coscienza che non era vero
Il celeste non diventa nero
Sotto il cielo impresso sulla volta
Aprì una sedia da giardino
Come fa un angelo con le ali
E l'eternità lo raggiunse chino
Ogni cosa bella ha una sua fine
The lyrics of "Ogni Cosa È Bella" by The Vad Vuc paint a profound and introspective narrative that delves into themes of life's journey, love, betrayal, aging, and ultimately the acceptance of the beauty and transience of existence. The opening lines describe the singer's birth into a world marked by darkness, war, and religious symbolism, highlighting the contradictory nature of life where beauty coexists with chaos and ambiguity. The reference to being cradled by his mother on a garden chair encapsulates a sense of tender care amidst the harsh realities of the world, with the acknowledgment of the overwhelming power of imagination and beauty in overshadowing caution and practicality.
As the song progresses, the singer's adulthood intertwined with the presence of Lucia, whose love illuminated his world despite her visual impairment. The imagery of a "maga dalle labbra ciliegia" (magician with cherry lips) who enchants him with the paradox of betrayal within a matrimonial bed further explores the complexities of relationships and the bittersweet dynamics of love and deceit. The scene set in a festively adorned church, where prayers are offered for the sincerity of their love, culminates in vows of eternal faithfulness that bring tears even on the happiest day of their lives, underscoring the ephemeral nature of beauty and love.
The narrative then progresses to the singer's aging in captivity, metaphorically breathing conditioned air akin to the confined freedom of caged parrots that will never truly soar. The symbolism of a painter using few brushes to show how every color in the world ultimately turns black at its core reflects a contemplation on the inevitable march of time and the fading vibrancy of life's experiences. The poignant moment of realization in a hospital chapel, amidst trembling limbs and flickering candles, where he confronts the truth that the celestial does not fade to black, marks a pivotal shift in perception and acceptance, symbolized by the opening of a garden chair like an angel spreading its wings as he embraces eternity and the cyclical nature of beauty reaching its conclusion.
In conclusion, "Ogni Cosa È Bella" eloquently captures the poignant essence of life's journey through its lyrical storytelling, from birth in darkness to love, betrayal, aging, and ultimately acceptance of the transient beauty in all things. The cyclical nature of life's experiences, the interplay of light and darkness, and the inherent impermanence of beauty are deftly woven throughout the song, urging listeners to reflect on the complexities of existence and find solace in the inevitability of life's beauty having its own unique conclusion. The Vad Vuc's poignant lyrics and evocative imagery invite introspection on the ineffable beauty found in the passage of time and the acceptance of life's inherent transience, offering a deeply meditative and thought-provoking exploration of the human experience.
