Nel silenzio di queste notti insonni, nelle urla e nei rimpianti,
cercare di sognare, aspirare a volere,
trovarsi qui ed ora ad esser modellati,
istante dopo istante, non ci restano che i silenzi.
La schizofrenia di voler ciò che non voglio,
di vivere e di agire una vita che non sento,
creato, modellato, da dispositivi imposti,
l'orrore ruba il fiato, sentirsi chiuso, intrappolato.
Ricordi quando pensavamo di essere diversi,
di sentirci unici, senza compromessi,
quando l'orizzonte si stagliava chiaro,
quando il vento in faccia prometteva il futuro.
Quello che crediamo di usare poi ci usa,
ci piega al suo linguaggio, ci schiaccia e ci abusa,
i dispositivi non sono da noi controllati,
ci insegnano, ci formano, ci lasciano mutilati.
ENG: Subject as a Dispositif
In the silence of these unsleeping nights, in the screams and regrets
Trying to dream, to aspire of will,
Being here and now and being moulded
Moment after moment, we have just the silence
Schizophrenia of craving what I don’t want
of living and acting a life I don’t feel mine
I have been created and moulded by imposed devices
The horror takes my breath away, feeling locked and trapped.
Do you remember when we thought that we were different?
When we felt we were unique without any compromises
When the horizon seemed to be clear to us
When the wind on our faces promised a future.
What we think we use at it ens to use us
It ties us to its own language, it crushes and abuses us
Devices are not controlled by us
They teach us, they shape us and then mutilate us.
