Sottovuoto

Capo Plaza's song 'Sottovuoto' delves into the emotional turmoil and existential struggles faced by the artist. The title, which translates to 'Under Vacuum,' metaphorically represents feelings of emptiness and isolation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with anxiety, fleeting moments of connection, and the relentless pursuit of meaning amidst chaos. The opening lines, 'Un ultimo bacio come se è l'ultima volta,' suggest a sense of finality and desperation, as if every action could be the last, underscoring the fragility of human connections.

The song's narrative oscillates between moments of introspection and external conflict. Capo Plaza reflects on his past mistakes and the harsh realities of his environment, where 'ferite non migliorano, peggiorano ogni giorno' (wounds don't heal, they worsen every day). This line encapsulates the ongoing struggle with personal demons and the difficulty of finding solace. The mention of 'angeli e demoni' (angels and demons) highlights the duality of his existence, surrounded by both good and bad influences, and the constant battle to maintain his integrity.

The recurring theme of being 'lasciato solo tra ansia e pacchi sottovuoto' (left alone between anxiety and vacuum-sealed packages) emphasizes the pervasive sense of loneliness and the weight of unspoken emotions. The vacuum-sealed packages could symbolize the suppression of feelings and the pressure to keep up appearances. Capo Plaza's plea for remedies and the acknowledgment that 'tanti si son persi e ritrovati, poi ripersi' (many have lost and found themselves, then lost again) speaks to the cyclical nature of struggle and the quest for redemption. The song ultimately portrays a raw and honest exploration of the human condition, marked by resilience and the relentless pursuit of hope.
