lyrics

C’ero anch’io
Tra di voi
Vi guardavo annerire
Come gioielli di ferro
Lucidi
Sudati
Mentre vi affannavate
A dimostrare qualcosa

Il mondo
Ha incominciato a capirvi
Quando avete smesso di parlare
Dicendo cose e cose
Con gli occhi dilatati
Gli occhi sbarrati
Per non lasciare andare alcuna esitazione

C’ero anch’io tra di voi
Mentre protestavate
Compatti e sottovuoto con il braccio alzato
Bocche sincronizzate per abbattere il mostro
Che alla fine non era neanche quello giusto
Quella forte paura degli spazi banali
Argomentazioni e necessità copiate da manuali
Perché il mondo era troppo
Come il Kamasutra per una Barbie

Metamorfosi agghiaccianti vi hanno colpito
Come un temporale o uno sputo
Una volta caduta la maschera o la moda
Simulavate comprensione
Incrinati come vetro

Quando giudicavate se questo è un uomo
Ed ogni giudizio ad ogni anomalia
Era solo una piccola innocente risata
Sotto il vostro naso
Un vestito di puro fallimento calzava a pennello
Sullo sguardo imbalsamato
Sulle vostre parole per dire no a tutto
Nel nome di facili vertigini
