Eyes wide shut


Metto le mie maschere, una passo
Petali di tulipani sul mio gambo
No non è uno scherzo, una burla manco
Che ne cavalco l'onda, Burlamacco
Arlecchino come Camerini
Sì ma solo fuori dai camerini
Perché dentro taccio
Non esterno lacrima nera su volto bianco come Pierrot
Fui Diego della Vega
Le scrissi un'ultima lettera perché già temevo per la carriera
Ghost face quella sera
Ci lasciammo per telefono e si ritrovò un coltello nella schiena
La vidi a una mascherata, cantò Mas Que Nada
Come avesse un'identità che non è mai svelata
Io con la maschera da artista dalla ribalta
Venuto a fare una rapina a casa di carta

Cala su di te il sipario delle tenebre
Eyes Wide Shut
Vanno in scena le mie maschere
Io non voglio andare in cerca di me stesso
Perché rischio di trovarmi per davvero
Eyes Wide Shut
Vanno in scena le mie maschere

Metto la maschera ma non perderò la faccia
Baffi in plastica, fingo di leggere la Pravda
Vado a fare un giro tra la gente della piazza
Sono tutti vip con le frasette dopo l'hashtag
Quanti militanti all day
Mille cause, cortei
Sì ma certe volte erano noiosi, rispondevo ok, ma pensavo vorrei mascherada ok come Jason Voorhees
Io nel bosco tipo favola di Perrault
Denti che battono tipo nacchera di legno
Qualcuno mi chiama lungo il passo e non mi fermo
Come fossi il mio gemello con la maschera di ferro
Nascondere il viso era destino come Victor Von Doom
Io col volto pulito non più
Senza la maschera nota nessuno salverà Gotham
Occorre un mito, non Bruce

Cala su di te il sipario delle tenebre
Eyes Wide Shut
Vanno in scena le mie maschere
Io non voglio andare in cerca di me stesso
Perché rischio di trovarmi per davvero
Eyes Wide Shut
Vanno in scena le mie maschere
Eyes Wide Shut

Non elogiare la sincerità
Perché non è un merito, è un mezzo
Eroi della superficialità
Vorrei sentirvi mentire più spesso
Vi vedo lì piazzati
Schietti e patetici come gli avvinazzati
Ma la mia maschera non la tolgo
Mi lascerà senza volto
Come lo spettro di Miyazaki
Cos'è un uomo senza, senza?
Uno spettacolo in scena, tu pensa, pensa
Non mi dà gioia né pena, non mi interessa
Meglio una bugia che almeno è creativa
Se vuoi la verità non è nient'altro che questa
Come puoi dirmi di non fingere se la scelta di fingere è un bisogno reale
Se anche l'età cambia il mio volto con un colpo teatrale
Se togli l'arte dal mio mondo è solo un posto banale, ricorda

Art is better than life
Art is better than life
Art is better than life
Art is better than life

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Michele Caparezza, born in Molfetta in 1973, is an Italian singer-songwriter and rapper known for his original musical style and often ironic and provocative lyrics. Son of a teacher and a musician worker, he starts composing songs since childhood. After studying bookkeeping and advertising, he abandons his university career to dedicate himself to music. Initially, he performs as a rapper under the stage name Mikimix, participating in music festivals like Castrocaro and Sanremo Giovani. In 1997, he releases his first album, *La mia buona stella*, but it is only in 2000 with the album *?!* that he assumes the name Caparezza (meaning "curly head" in Molfettese dialect) and begins to gain success. The album *Verità supposte* of 2003 consecrates him as a prominent artist, thanks to songs like *Fuori dal tunnel*, a summer hit that becomes a subject of debate for its ironic interpretation of nightlife fun. Caparezza continues to release successful albums such as *Habemus Capa* (2006), *Le dimensioni del mio caos* (2008) and *Il sogno eretico* (2011). Caparezza is known for his ability to blend musical genres, from electronic music to rap, passing through rock and songwriting. His songs are characterized by complex and refined lyrics, often with a strong social and political content.
