Giudizi Universali

Samuele Bersani's 'Giudizi Universali' is a poignant exploration of the complexities of modern life and the yearning for simplicity and authenticity. The song opens with a reflection on how overthinking can complicate even the simplest of pleasures, like enjoying a piece of bread. Bersani uses the metaphor of spreading empty words on bread to illustrate how people often fill their lives with meaningless chatter, losing touch with genuine experiences.

The lyrics also delve into the theme of escapism and the desire to dream freely. Bersani sings about eating soap bubbles and cutting the string of a kite, symbolizing a break from rationality to embrace dreams and imagination. This longing for freedom is further emphasized by the imagery of being as free as they were in the past, standing on books to reach the door handle and step outside, reminiscent of the carefree days of childhood.

Bersani also touches on the pain of lost moments and the difficulty of trusting others. He expresses a sense of disillusionment, noting that people often trample on each other's hearts and that many are merely copies of countless summaries, lacking original thought. The recurring motif of soap bubbles and kites serves as a reminder of the fragility and fleeting nature of dreams and memories.

The song concludes with a sense of liberation and self-reliance. Bersani describes himself as a cloud, unaffected by external forces, ready to rain down and cleanse away the superficiality. The repeated refrain of not trusting someone he doesn't know underscores the importance of authenticity and genuine connection in a world filled with empty words and shallow interactions.
