Curiosità
L'obiettivo dei Rotgod è di dissacrare TUTTO, senza pietà o riguardo per nessuno. Per cui, nemmeno il "supremo dissacratore" per eccellenza (ossia il signor Friedrich Nietzsche) poteva essere risparmiato. In realtà, la sua discesa nella follia era iniziata molto prima di quanto si pensi, a causa di una donna russa di nome Lou Andreas Salomé, la cui influenza si trova in tutto il suo lavoro dallo "Zarathustra" in poi. Praticamente lui "simpava" per lei, essendo lei, come osservato da alcune persone vicine a Nietzsche, "la sua filosofia personificata".
Questa canzone parla del loro incontro, e utilizza alcune frasi autentiche provenienti dalla loro corrispondenza epistolare, con l'aggiunta di alcune "easter egg" scollegate dal tema principale (tra cui una inerente a un famoso musicista rock italiano, che qualche anno fa se ne uscì con delle dichiarazioni piuttosto ridicole sui social).
Musicalmente, questo è uno dei brani più strani e variegati che abbia mai scritto: le influenze vanno letteralmente dappertutto dal thrash al death al doom al noise financo un pizzico di black metal post-1993 (per una volta). Il coro femminile è opera della talentuosissima cantante Francesca Ortisi.
Testo
"I wanted to live alone. But then, the dear bird Lou flew across my path and I thought it was a noble creature... and I wanted to have this eagle."
(Friedrich Nietzsche)
What Zarathustra truly spoke about
Was not really what most people think
Faithful to the Earth, and its worst disease
A mixture of beauty, intelligence and malice
Born from a veteran of the old guard
Raised with a comprehensive education
Developing curiosity, wonder and creativity
With some latent signs of insanity
A new earthly germ, destined to infect
So many brilliant minds of her same circle
Even the disciple of the prophet Dionysus
Fell prey to this hellish leonine eagle
Venturing into the deepest abyss
Where no one would ever dare
If people could hear them talk
They would think of 'em as two demons
Which stars did they fall from
To meet in such a place?
And what could have been built
Had things gone differently?
Sparkling craze, luciferine grins,
Unconscious transfert through unusual ways
In the eye of his soul the sign had been traced
And this time it wasn't erasable
Immoral, beyond good and evil
Wandering, taking pleasure from her sins
His philosophy personified, in the end
Even the Ubermensch was "all too human"
Subconscious bewitchment
Primitive form, hidden archetype
Not going beyond
All mind, no matter
Frozen, in place
No chance to build on
Too late, no way
Mutuality, asymmetrical
Sparkling craze, luciferine grins,
Unconscious transfert through unusual ways
In the eye of his soul the sign had been traced
And this time it wasn't erasable
Immoral, beyond good and evil
Craving to lose her own mind
His philosophy personified, in the end
Even the Ubermensch was "all too human"
Stuck in his own intelligence
Unable to build something more
Intellect fails, sudden sleep of reason
A beautiful mind, but where is it now?
"My soul hurts..."
Immoral, beyond good and evil
Craving to lose her own mind
His philosophy personified, in the end
Even the Ubermensch was "all too human"
Stuck in his own intelligence
Unable to build something more
Intellect fails, incipit tragoedia
God is dead, but who did really kill him?
"We are so similar in our talents and our intentions that our names are destined to be named jointly at some point. And every aspersion cast upon her, will strike me first."
(Friedrich Nietzsche)
