Personalità empirica - Empirical Personality

Il faut abandonner la personalitè pour retrouver votre "je" Changer dame cheval et chevalier Changer d'habit baton et penseé (retiens la nuit pour nous deux jusqu'à la fin du monde) Quando non coincide più l'immagine che hai di te Con quello che realmente sei E cominci a detestare i processi meccanici e i tuoi comportamenti E poi le pene che sorpassano la gioia di vivere Coi dispiaceri che ci porta l’esistente Ti viene voglia di cercare spazi sconosciuti Per allenare la tua mente a nuovi stati di coscienza Quand l'image que tu as de toi ne coincide plus avec ce que tu es réellement Quand tu commences à haine les automatismes de ta facon d'agir Et quand les chagrins prennent le pas sur la joie de vivre Avec les peines que nous apportent l'existence Et t vas chercher des espaces inconnus Pour une nouvelle conscience Il faut abandonner la personalitè pour retrouver votre "je" Changer dame cheval et chevalier Changer d'habit baton et penseé Personalità empirica © 2001 Franco Battiato & Manlio Sgalambro "Personalità empirica" begins with the piano playing an opening theme of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, Opus 23. The message of the song is very Gurdjieffian.

We must give up the personality to recover your "I" Change lady, horse and knight Change your coat and thought (hold the night for the two of us until the end of the world) When it no longer fits, the image you have of yourself with what you really are, and you begin to detest the mechanical processes and your behaviors and then the woes that surpass the joy of life with the disappointments that existing brings us, you get the urge to search for unknown spaces to train your mind in new states of consciousness. When the image you have of you no longer coincides with what you really are, when you begin to hate the automatisms of your way of acting, and when sorrows take precedence over the joy of living with the sorrows that existence bring us and you're going to look for unknown spaces for a new consciousness We must give up the personality to recover your "I" Change lady, horse and knight Change your coat and thought English translation © 2020 Dennis Criteser Ferro Battuto was released in 2001, with a sound decidedly more pop than Gommalacca, reflecting a desire on Battiato's part to communicate more directly with his public. The lyrics on most of the songs were co-written by Battiato and Manlio Sgalambro.
