Caparezza - Figli d’Arte
[Lyrics for "Figli d'arte"]
[Verse 1]
I pull away the curtain, then look outside
All those fans holding the banners
All those photographers astride
They're waiting for my father to enjoy him
I am the son of a songwriter
Who seems happy, then changes mood
In a year I think I've seen him a couple of times
One time he even said my name on TV
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Who cares
I want a father that supports me
That is present right here, not on video
And that hates everyone, but me
[Chorus]
I am the son of a man who talks about world peace, but doesn't love me
To him we are all brothers, I have thousands of brothers, but he doesn't love us
That man does not love me, that man doesn't give a shit about me
That man does not love me, he values you more than me
[Chorus 2]
He stares at the "pueblo" as if he was mesmerized
I don't even receive a glance from him
Him, at the host's for the opening night
Me at the psychologist's, then to the psychiatrist's
And I was already afraid of the dark when I was a child
I called it dark, but it was the idol's shadow
[the idol] that I see less often than an antidepressant
I would've been way better off inside of his condom
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And if I were to start singing
I'd have to sustain the comparisons for life
And being told that I'm not ready yet
The indie scene tells me to piss off like it did with him
[Chorus 3]
I am the son of a man who talks about world peace, but doesn't love me
To him we are all brothers, I have thousands of brothers, but he doesn't love us
That man does not love me, that man doesn't give a shit about me
That man does not love me, he values you more than me
[Interlude]
I remember when my father told me: "Come here and listen
Art is less trivial than living beings
My mission is to bring it to life without ever taking a break
Your mission is to sacrifice yourself for this just cause
Now stay there alone, the solo"
[Chorus 4]
I am the son of a man who talks about world peace, but doesn't love me
To him we are all brothers, I have thousands of brothers, but he doesn't love us
He's full of life on the stage then turns into a zombie when he sets foot in his home
That man doesn't know what he wants, he brings me into the world then shoots himself
That man does not love me, that man doesn't give a shit about me
That man does not love me, he values you more than me
