Navigating Life's Levels: Caparezza's 'Abiura Di Me'

Caparezza's 'Abiura Di Me' is a vivid exploration of personal identity, societal expectations, and the artist's own struggles with self-perception. The song is rich with references to video games, which serve as metaphors for the challenges and obstacles he faces in life. The opening lines set the tone, with Caparezza dismissing the idea that he can change the world, instead focusing on the more mundane aspects of life, like changing his underwear. This self-deprecating humor is a recurring theme, highlighting his awareness of his limitations and the absurdity of grandiose ambitions.

The chorus reveals Caparezza's desire to transcend his current state and reach a 'next level' where his creative expressions come to life. He describes himself as paranoid and obsessive, to the point of renouncing his own identity ('abiura di me'). This intense self-scrutiny and the quest for authenticity are central to the song's message. The video game references, from 'Puzzle Bobble' to 'Metal Gear Solid,' illustrate his internal battles and the societal pressures he navigates. These games symbolize the various 'levels' and 'bosses' he must overcome, both in his career and personal life.

Caparezza also touches on the superficiality of fame and the music industry. He rejects the idea of being a 'divo' (star) and criticizes the hollow nature of awards and recognition. Instead, he finds solace in his art, using it as a means to cope with the world's madness. The song's numerous pop culture references, including 'Resident Evil,' 'Sonic,' and 'Super Mario,' create a tapestry of influences that shape his worldview. These references not only make the song relatable to a generation of gamers but also underscore the complexity of his inner life and the multifaceted nature of his identity.
