Sonic degeneracy - Vol. II: Psychotic crescendo

(Full-length, 2024)

Scritta a maggio 2015, riscritta a luglio 2016. Ulteriori ritocchi al testo effettuati ad ottobre 2019.

Curiosità

Questa è la seconda canzone che abbia mai scritto per Rotgod. La struttura iniziale non aveva molto senso, quindi necessitò di parecchi ritocchi. Fu questo il mio primo tentativo di sperimentare con le dissonanze rumoriste, disturbanti e perfora-timpani che avrebbero fatto parte di tantissime mie canzoni future.

Il testo parla di una situazione ricorrente nella mia vita: quando mi trovo bloccato senza sapere cosa fare, pieno di ripensamenti e rimpianti su scelte fatte in precedenza. Nonostante alcune frasi un po' cliché (ecco ci risiamo, lo sto rifacendo -_- ), penso che questo testo esprima il concetto in maniera affascinante.

Testo

Temptation and confusion

Make my drift away from the safe path

The seed of foolish utopia

Infects my brain with self-delusion

Deceived by self-confidence

And determination

I can't see, I can't think

But deep inside I know the truth

By going on through any of these tracks

What I'll achieve will be nothing in the end

The hellish chains around my neck

Guiding me through unsavory choices

While instincts collide, my own freedom dies

Drowning in a sea of multiple lies

I've been through the black hole and I can't be the same again

My personality torn within

By looking at myself through a surreal mirror

Smiling disturbingly back at me

The shining star from deep down in hell

The surrogates that became alive themselves

A titanic attempt where everything falls down

Everything crashes down to the ground

Reawakened too late and no one's around

Everyone has left me behind

The footprints that stand right behind me

They just show an erratic track

No goals, no achievements, only regrets

I should have never gone all this far

Always deranged, always corrupt

Without control, just a weak puppet

The main path is the hardest one

But the other one just makes things worse

I never wanted to see what to do

But deep inside I already knew

No signs for the future, no gifts from the past

Nothing can happen, nothing can last

Utopian purity infected and twisted

No chance to reach it, no chance to live it

Paranoia and rivalry

Anyone could be my enemy

Ever-growing idiosincrasy

A progressive breakdown of my own sanity

It's too late

Everything's lost

No turning back

Forward without motion
