A Forma Di Origami

Mr. Rain's song 'A Forma Di Origami' delves into the complexities of human emotions, relationships, and the passage of time. The lyrics are a poignant reflection on the struggles of expressing deep feelings and the impact of past experiences on one's present self. The artist uses the metaphor of origami, a delicate art form, to symbolize the fragile and intricate nature of life and relationships. The imagery of 'fogli rovinati a forma di origami' (ruined sheets in the shape of origami) suggests that despite the wear and tear of life's challenges, there is still beauty and meaning to be found in the imperfections.

The song speaks to the difficulty of communication, especially when it comes to expressing vulnerability and pain. Mr. Rain reflects on his childhood and the absence of a guiding figure, which has shaped him into the person he is today. The lyrics 'Crescendo solo sono diventato l'uomo di cui avevo bisogno quando ero bambino' (Growing up alone, I became the man I needed when I was a child) highlight the theme of self-reliance and the longing for connection. The artist also touches on the paradox of love, where the same person can bring both joy and pain, as seen in the lines 'A farmi bene e a farmi stare male' (To make me feel good and to make me feel bad).

The recurring motif of 'occhi grandi come il mondo' (eyes as big as the world) symbolizes a sense of wonder and depth, contrasting with the artist's feelings of insignificance. This juxtaposition emphasizes the internal conflict between feeling small and recognizing one's own worth. The song also explores the fear of vulnerability and the struggle to embrace one's humanity, encapsulated in the line 'Noi con la paura di sentirci umani' (We with the fear of feeling human). Ultimately, 'A Forma Di Origami' is a heartfelt exploration of the delicate balance between strength and fragility, love and pain, and the journey of self-discovery.
