(I begin the exploration

It's not a pleasant place

My pace is tiring

There is no grass, but ash

I don't know whether to proceed

Okay, I'll proceed

I dreamed of returning to this planet

When I was in the woods and in prison

But I didn't expect a desert

Which drowns in its own greyness

Such silence

I don't know whether to proceed

Okay, I'll proceed)

I trample on a land that is incinerated

I don't see the backsides of living people

But only very vague beings

With looks as dull as silverware

Smoky, light, they have no weight

It seems I'm the one who doesn't give it to him

I listen to their complaints

I could make a book like Jeremiah

They are crying out for my help

I turn away

Like the checkout clerks

When I type the card PIN

Disturbing shadows are hanging over me

I have them in front of me even if I move

The face, at times pale, dull

They are ectoplasms

I recognize them, they are ideas

They ask for a body, they want to expose it as a playmate

Hordes of ghosts, these are the ideas

Hordes of, 'Maybe', 'Maybe', 'I don't think so', 'Imagine if'

They need me

Awakened ideas, my God

I thought they were dead in the skull

They escaped oblivion

To the bulldozers in hyperuranium

It's getting late

Hephaestus is finished, and the volcano has dried up

But these alien creatures form a sudden circle

As on wheat, they speak

'Father why do you want us orphans?

If we have gaps, you fill them

Unsheath your saber, you will be Sandokan

We are your Mompracem' tigers

I don't respond, I remain silent, like the silent land

While they ask for body, like Tetsuro on board the Galaxy Express

In their evanescence

I see my surrender clearly

Palisade on my head

Displayed like a tiara

I don't trust them, they are opportunists

They are mercenaries in the pay of Athena

They turn into an obsession

Until you find yourself alone and in chains

Tide, there are more and more of these miserable things

I hold my breath, I'm free-diving

I no longer carry victims on my shoulders

I built my trench

I crawl as if I were no longer bipedal

I will never die for an idea

I prefer an idea to live for

Do you recognize us? We are the ideas

We ask for a body, we want to expose it as a playmate

Hordes of ghosts, these are the ideas

Hordes of 'Maybe', 'Maybe', 'I don't think so', 'Imagine if'

They need me

Goodbye ideas

Goodbye, I have to go

I won't stay here a minute longer)

iperuranio — hyperuranium

Iperuranio refers to the "hyperuranium," a philosophical concept from Plato's theory of Forms. It's a transcendent realm where perfect and eternal Forms or Ideas exist.

In the song, Caparezza uses this rare and intellectual word to describe the place where ideas reside, even after they are thought to be

Welcome to the "Planet of Ideas"! In this song, Caparezza takes us on an exploration of a strange and desolate world. It's not a pleasant place; the ground is covered in ash, and the only inhabitants are vague, smoky beings he calls "ectoplasms." These ghostly figures are his own abandoned ideas, begging him to give them a physical form. They are described as hordes of doubt and uncertainty, like specters of "Maybe," "Perhaps," and "I don't think so."

The ideas call him their "father" and plead with him not to leave them as orphans, but the artist is wary. He sees them as opportunistic and fears they could become an obsession that would trap him. In a powerful declaration, he states, "I will never die for an idea, I prefer an idea to live for." Ultimately, he decides to leave this planet, saying goodbye to these haunting, unrealized thoughts and choosing to move on.
