che riscopro questa canzone al ritorno dalla Toscana, al tramonto. Mi mancano questi REM, raro caso in cui le parole, parlando "di me", erano abbinate a musiche che mi piacciono tantissimo ancora adesso. Anche se mi lasciano un gusto così agrodolce. Forse è il gusto dei quasi 50 (anni).
MI MUOVO TRASVERSALMENTE, INNOCENZA PERDUTA
UN PULSAR LUCCICANTE
MI MUOVO ATTRAVERSO LA TERRA NELLA MIA CAMICIA CAMPIONE
VADO OLTRE IL SATELLITE
"SEI COSI' ACIDO", IL TUO LAMENTO
NON TI POSSO DARE NIENTE
IO NON SO PER COSA TU ESISTA
NON SO PIU' COSA SEI
PREFERIREI STRAPPARMI LA GAMBA A MORSI
PIUTTOSTO CHE ESSERE INTRAPPOLATO QUI
QUANTO FACILMENTE PENSI A ME COME A QUALCOSA DI AGRODOLCE?
NON POTREI GUSTARMELO
SONO STANCO E NUDO
NON SO DI COSA HO FAME
NON SO PIU' QUELLO CHE VOGLIO
MI MUOVO TRASVERSALMENTE, ZUCCHERO FILATO
MI MUOVO COME UN CARRO ARMATO
MI MUOVO ATTRAVERSO LA STANZA CON IL CUORE PIENO DI TRISTEZZA
SONO PIU? FORTE DI QUANTO TU PENSI
OH MIO SIMILE
LA TUA IMMAGINE SI STA ASSOTTIGLIANDO E SGRETOLANDO
LA SUPERFICIE INFORMA CHE AL DI SOTTO,
AL DI SOTTO R' DIFETTOSA
TI MUOVI TRASVERSALMENTE, INNOCENZA PERDUTA
TUTTO IMMOBILITA' E DESIDERIO
SEI LIVIDO IN FACCIA DOPO AVER CONTEMPLATO L'OMBELICO
TI DAI FUOCO
TI METTI A NUDO E TI POSIZIONI
SO CHE NON SAI FINGERE
SEI STANCO E NUDO?
SEI STANCO E NUDO?
I think you got a low self opinion man
I see you standing all by yourself
Unable to express the pain of your distress
You withdraw deeper inside
You alienate yourself
And everybody else
They wonder what's on your mind
They got so tired of you
And your self ridicule
They wrote you off and left you behind
You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you
The hatred you project
Does nothing to protect you
You leave yourself so exposed
You want to open up
When someone says
Lighten up
You find all your doors closed
Get yourself a break from self rejection
Try some introspection
And you just might find
It's not so bad and anyway
At the end of the day
All you have is yourself and your mind
The self hatred that blinds you
Binds you grinds you keeps you down
The world falls down around you
You build up walls around you
You wear disgust like a crown
If you could see the you that I see
When I see you seeing me
You'd see yourself so differently
Believe me
I know the self doubt that runs inside your mind
I know the self that treats you so unkind
If you could see the you that I see
When I see you
You would see things differently
I assure you
I see you standing all by yourself
Unable to express the pain of your distress
You withdraw deeper inside
You alienate yourself
And everybody else
They wonder what's on your mind
They got so tired of you
And your self ridicule
They wrote you off and left you behind
You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you
The hatred you project
Does nothing to protect you
You leave yourself so exposed
You want to open up
When someone says
Lighten up
You find all your doors closed
Get yourself a break from self rejection
Try some introspection
And you just might find
It's not so bad and anyway
At the end of the day
All you have is yourself and your mind
The self hatred that blinds you
Binds you grinds you keeps you down
The world falls down around you
You build up walls around you
You wear disgust like a crown
If you could see the you that I see
When I see you seeing me
You'd see yourself so differently
Believe me
I know the self doubt that runs inside your mind
I know the self that treats you so unkind
If you could see the you that I see
When I see you
You would see things differently
I assure you
