Everyone asking me, 'But when are you coming back?'

I'm in front of their eyes, but they act blind

I throw the token down, go beyond the edges

I splash outside the perimeters of bumper cars

The returns are as disappointing as the former lovers

Ithaca is just a crowd of swimmers

There's no returning the old me in the speakers

I don't realize the desires I had when I was twenty

God of memories, absorb light, chlorofeeling

Invade my days, colonize them

But you're as partial as autobiographies

And parents' opinions about their children

Peaceful as a youth, but I won't go back there

I read Popeye in the years of lead

And it seems too stupid to go around it

I have a 'I'm back doubtful' sign in my shop

Because the only return that makes sense

That's in territories I've never been to

The only return that makes sense

It's the one in territories where I've never been-

Everyone asking me, 'But when are you coming back?'

I'm in front of their eyes, but they act blind

I throw the token down, go beyond the edges

I splash outside the perimeters of bumper cars

By taking steps backwards, we touch the gallows

Until the Duce who said, 'There's no going back'

Until the next war, which is a next war

Until I return to Vietnam, return to Hiroshima

Until the divorce, the vote for women

Until the disease is cured, with the decoction and the leaves

The age of the club and the ignorant is back

They make me nauseous, like the hairpin bends

Prodigal sons return, prodigals

To start fires, yes, Prodigy

I look where I point my index finger, I don't look at my thumbs

Cords like ribbons, resolutions like scissors

Above I was left with a slice of sky

I park my Passat in a dead end

Every new album of mine, Chekhov's swan song

After that I disappear, back to my corner, little gecko

Everyone asking me, 'But when are you coming back?'

I'm in front of their eyes, but they act blind

I throw the token down, go beyond the edges

I splash outside the perimeters of bumper cars

D'n'B, heavy metal, swing is coming back

What lacks appeal is the novelty

Fascism is returning and it's World War Three

Let's prepare the Hotchkiss and machine guns

The crisis is returning, it's just a stone's throw from here

We are already going from Wall Street to Caritas

At the cinema they show a film, which is a remake of a film

Which is the remake of a film from thirty years ago

Out of orbit

Autovorbit — Out of orbit (Italianized)

Autovorbit is a unique, made-up word by Caparezza, combining the Italian prefix "auto-" (self) with the English phrase "out of orbit," which he Italianizes to "vorbit." The song's title itself is a play on words, and the lyrics end with "Out of orbit."

This word perfectly encapsulates the song's theme of rejecting returns and embracing new, uncharted territories, moving beyond expected paths. It's memorable because it's a creative neologism that immediately signals the artist's distinctive style and the song's central message of breaking free from cycles.

Have you ever felt like everyone wants you to be the person you used to be? In "Autovorbit," Italian artist Caparezza tackles this exact feeling. He uses the powerful image of bumper cars (autoscontri) to describe the expectations people have. Everyone is asking him, "When are you coming back?", but he feels like he's breaking out of the ride's boundaries, going to new places instead of just bumping around in the past.

Caparezza argues that going back is often disappointing, like meeting an ex-lover. He believes nostalgia can be a trap, describing memory as a biased force that invades his days. The only "return" that makes sense to him is a journey forward, an exploration of "territories where I have never been." The song is a bold declaration of artistic and personal evolution, a rejection of nostalgia in favor of constant forward motion, even if it means going "out of orbit."
